The origin of the savanna biome

Savannas are a major terrestrial biome, comprising of grasses with the C4 photosynthetic pathway and trees with the C3 type. This mixed grass-tree biome rapidly appeared on the ecological stage 8 million years ago with the near-synchronous expansion of C4 grasses around the…

Real-time and time-integrated PM2.5 and CO from prescribed burns in chipped and non-chipped plots: firefighter and community exposure and health implications

In this study, smoke data were collected from two plots located on the Francis Marion National Forest in South Carolina during prescribed burns on 12 February 2003. One of the plots had been subjected to mechanical chipping, the other was not. This study is part of a larger…

No heat-stimulated germination found in herbaceous species from burned subtropical grassland

Fire has been shown to stimulate seed germination in a number of fire-prone ecosystems, mainly in Mediterranean type shrublands and, though not exclusively, in hardseeded species. Stimulation by heat, or by chemical constituents of charred wood and smoke, have been identified as…

How much seed remains in the soil after a fire?

Soil seed banks that persist after a fire are important in fire-prone habitats as they minimise the risk of decline or local extinction in plants, should the fire-free interval be less than the primary juvenile periods of the species. In two common woody plant genera (Acacia and…

Prescribed burning is beneficial and challenging

From the text ... 'The use of prescribed fire as a land management tool has deep and ancient roots in south Carolina's heritage, but conducting prescribed burns is becoming increasingly challenging because of a variety of factors, according to the chairman of the South Carolina…

Ecological and economic consequences of the 1998 Florida wildfires - report submitted to the Joint Fire Science Program

From the Executive Summary ... 'Over 2,000 wildfires burned 500,000 acres of Florida real estate, most of it between May and mid July, 1998. Although virtually every county was impacted, the fires were concentrated in the northeast quadrant defined by boundaries extending north…

Influence of heat and smoke treatments on the germination of six leguminous shrubby species

The effect of high temperatures and smoke on germination was tested on the shrubland Leguminosae species, Adenocarpus lainzii, Cytisus scoparius, Cytisus striatus, Genista berberidea, Genista triacanthos, and Pterospartum tridentatum, which are abundant and widely distributed…
