Repeated Stand-Replacing Crown Fires Affect Seed Morphology and Germination in Aleppo pine
Post-fire reproductive niche of Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis) is deeply interlaced with fire products. Indeed, the high pH and low osmotic potentials of ash beds under burnt crowns constitute the main constraints to seed germination. In this study, we aim to investigate whether fire recurrence, through the physico-chemical constraints imposed by the ash beds, affects the reproduction ability o...
متن کاملCircumpolar distribution and carbon storage of thermokarst landscapes
Thermokarst is the process whereby the thawing of ice-rich permafrost ground causes land subsidence, resulting in development of distinctive landforms. Accelerated thermokarst due to climate change will damage infrastructure, but also impact hydrology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Here, we present a circumpolar assessment of the distribution of thermokarst landscapes, defined as landscapes comp...
متن کاملRegeneration of Rocky Mountain bristlecone pine (Pinus aristata) and limber pine (Pinus flexilis) three decades after stand-replacing fires
Rocky Mountain bristlecone pine (Pinus aristata) and limber pine (Pinus flexilis) are important highelevation pines of the southern Rockies that are forecast to decline due to the recent spread of white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola) into this region. Proactive management strategies to promote the evolution of rust resistance and maintain ecosystem function require an improved understa...
متن کاملEffect of Forest Structural Change on Carbon Storage in a Coastal Metasequoia glyptostroboides Stand
Forest structural change affects the forest's growth and the carbon storage. Two treatments, thinning (30% thinning intensity) and underplanting plus thinning, are being implemented in a coastal Metasequoia glyptostroboides forest shelterbelt in Eastern China. The vegetation carbon storage significantly increased in the underplanted and thinned treatments compared with that in the unthinned tre...
متن کاملHazards Associated with Accidental Fires in Clinical Waste Storage
A simple theoretical model was developed to assess the contribution of the pathogens and group D pharmaceutically active waste to the toxicity of the fire plume from an accidental fire in the stored material. The method was applied to stored waste at an authorised incinerator site and the study showed the additional hazard of the pathogen biohazard and pharmaceutically active material to be neg...
