Fire as a key driver of the Earth’s biodiversity
j.g. pausas' blog,
Regions subject to regular fire have exceptionally high levels of species richness and endemism, and fire is likely a major…
Resprouting at the global scale

Plant resprouting (i.e., the ability to form new shoots after destruction of living tissues from disturbance) is often…
Evolutionary ecology of resprouting and seeding
j.g. pausas' blog,
There are two broad mechanisms by which plant populations persist under recurrent fires: resprouting from surviving tissues…
