B., Renan, L., Schrodt, F., Thorne, C., Valman, S., Wijayratne, U., & Field, R. (2022). A possible role for river restoration enhancing biodiversity through interaction with wildfire. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 31(10), 1990-2004. https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.13555

Background: Historically, wildfire regimes produced important landscape-scale disturbances in many regions globally. The “pyrodiversity begets biodiversity” hypothesis suggests that wildfires that generate temporally and spatially heterogeneous mosai...

Recent catastrophic fires in Australia and North America have raised broad-scale questions about how the cessation of Indigenous burning practices has impacted fuel accumulation and structure. For sustainable coexistence with fire, a better understan... Read More about Disruption of cultural burning promotes shrub encroachment and unprecedented wildfires.
