Fires in croplands, plantations, and rangelands contribute significantly to fire emissions in the United States, yet are often overshadowed by wildland fires in efforts to develop inventories or estimate responses to climate change. Here we quantified decadal trends, interannual…

Serotiny is a mechanism for storing propagules on plants, so that seed dispersal can be maximised after the death of aerial parts of plants or to take advantage of conditions beneficial to establishment. In fire-prone vegetation, regeneration of new plants after fire is mostly…

Management of fire is an important and controversial policy issue. Active fire suppression has led to a backlog of fuels, limited the ecological benefits of fire, and reduced short-term smoke impacts likely delaying these emissions to future generations over a larger spatial…
