From introduction: The Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) fires of 1988 were, in the words of National Park Service (NPS) publications, the most significant ecological event in the history of the national parks (NPS 1988). Their political consequences may be as far-reaching as their…

Soil CO2 flux (JCO2) was measured at midday over a 2-yr period in undisturbed tallgrass prairie (Konza Prairie, Kansas, USA) to quantify seasonal and annual budgets, to evaluate temperature and moisture as determinants of soil CO2 flux, and to assess the effect of a common land…

Despite increasing temperatures since the end of the Little Ice Age (ca. 1850), wildfire frequency has decreased as shown in many field studies from North America and Europe. We believe that global warming since 1850 may have triggered decreases in fire frequency in some regions…

We investigated long-term consequences of modified fire and climate regimes on ecosystems for a landscape in Glacier National Park, Montana, using the mechanistic forest successional model, Fire-BGC (a Fire BioGeoChemical succession model). Changes in various ecosystem…
