Fire Severity and Regeneration Strategy Influence Shrub Patch Size and Structure Following Disturbance
Climate change is increasing the frequency and extent of high-severity disturbance, with potential to alter vegetation community composition and structure in environments sensitive to tipping points between alternative states. Shrub species display a range of characteristics that promote resistance and resilience to disturbance, and which yield differential post-disturbance outcomes. We investi...
متن کاملThe Effect of Experimental Prescribed Fire on White Pine Regeneration
We examined the effects of prescribed fire on white pine (Pinus strobus) advance regeneration in small experimental plots in mixed hardwood-pine forests in southwestern Virginia during the fall and spring. Fires killed all newly germinated seedlings in both spring and fall. Saplings (ranging from 0.7 3.4 m in height) all suffered some degree of crown scorch, but sapling survival was higher on p...
متن کاملC3 shrub expansion in a C4 grassland: positive post-fire responses in resources and shoot growth.
Changes in land management and reductions in fire frequency have enabled woody species to increase in grasslands worldwide. Nevertheless, fire is rarely eliminated from grasslands, and for shrubs to survive, they must be able cope with fire and replace aboveground structures. Because new shoots may have more available solar radiation, greater root : shoot ratios, and thus more resources availab...
متن کاملStream Nitrogen Responses to Fire
Fire can play a sigdicant role in runoff, sediment yield, and nitrate transport in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in the southeast US. The typical impact of fire is an immediate change in the physical properties of the soil and forest floor surface, followed by midand long-term changes in biological pools and cycling processes. Depending upon the severity of the fire and p b u r n condition...
متن کاملResponses of Herbaceous Species to Fire in Persian Oak (Quercus brantii) in Coppice Forests
Zagros forests are one of the important natural ecosystems in Iran with high plant diversity and variety of plant communities. In recent decades, fire events have frequently occurred in some of these ecosystems. The purpose of this research is to investigate the composition and diversity of herbaceous species after nine years of fire occurrence in the forests of Zagros in western Iran. For this...
