Ecological memory is central to how ecosystems respond to disturbance and is maintained
by two types of legacies–information and material. Species life‐history traits represent an …

The integration of functional traits into vulnerability assessments is a promising approach to
quantitatively capture differences in species sensitivity and adaptive capacity to climate …

Changing disturbance regimes and climate can overcome forest ecosystem resilience.
Following high-severity fire, forest recovery may be compromised by lack of tree seed …

Projected effects of climate change across many ecosystems globally include more frequent
disturbance by fire and reduced plant growth due to warmer (and especially drier) …

Subalpine forests in the northern Rocky Mountains have been resilient to stand-replacing
fires that historically burned at 100-to 300-year intervals. Fire intervals are projected to …

Disturbances are fundamental components of ecosystems and, in many cases, a dominant
driver of ecosystem structure and function at multiple spatial and temporal scales. While the …

Aim Climate warming and increased wildfire activity are hypothesized to catalyse
biogeographical shifts, reducing the resilience of fire‐prone forests world‐wide. Two key …

Recent extreme wildfire seasons in several regions have been associated with exceptionally
hot, dry conditions, made more probable by climate change. Much research has focused on …

In temperate Australia, wildfires are predicted to be more frequent and severe under climate
change. This could lead to marked changes in tree mortality and regeneration in the region's …

Changing disturbance–climate interactions will drive shifts in plant communities: these
effects are not adequately quantified by environmental niche models used to predict future …
