Fire has been an ecosystem process since plants colonized land over 400 million years ago.
Many diverse traits provide a fitness benefit following fires, and these adaptive traits vary …

Pine cones that remain closed and retain seeds until fire causes the cones to open (cone
serotiny) represent a key adaptive trait in a variety of pine species. In lodgepole pine, there …

Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) is an important conifer from the western Mediterranean
Basin. Fire is the most significant threat to maritime pine plantations but also a disturbance …

Macroevolutionary studies of the genus Pinus provide the oldest current evidence of fire as
an evolutionary pressure on plants and date back to ca. 125 million years ago (Ma) …

Pine resistance to low-to moderate-intensity fire arises from traits (namely related to tissue
insulation from heat) that enable tree survival. Predictive models of the likelihood of tree …

Over the past 15 years, 3 million hectares of forests have been converted into shrublands or
grasslands in the Mediterranean countries of the European Union. Fire and drought are the …

As climate change increases vegetation combustibility, humans are impacted by wildfires
through loss of lives and property, leading to an increased emphasis on prescribed burning …

The increasing occurrence of large and severe fires in Mediterranean forest ecosystems
produces major ecological and socio-economic damage. In this study, we aim to identify the …
