Fire Regime Characteristics along Environmental Gradients in Spain
Concern regarding global change has increased the need to understand the relationship between fire regime characteristics and the environment. Pyrogeographical theory suggests that fire regimes are constrained by climate, vegetation and fire ignition processes, but it is not obvious how fire regime characteristics are related to those factors. We used a three-matrix approach with a multivariate...
متن کاملFire Regime along Latitudinal Gradients of Continuous to Discontinuous Coniferous Boreal Forests in Eastern Canada
Fire is the main disturbance in North American coniferous boreal forests. In Northern Quebec, Canada, where forest management is not allowed, the landscape is gradually constituted of more opened lichen woodlands. Those forests are discontinuous and show a low regeneration potential resulting from the cumulative effects of harsh climatic conditions and very short fire intervals. In a climate ch...
متن کاملHolocene fire and vegetation along environmental gradients in the Northern Rocky Mountains
Holocene records of fire, vegetation, and climate were reconstructed from four sites in the Bitterroot Range region of the Northern Rocky Mountains in order to examine the vegetation and fire histories and evaluate the hypothesis proposed by Whitlock and Bartlein (1993) regarding the effects of increased summer insolation on precipitation patterns. Vegetation history in the series of sites was ...
متن کاملLizard community structure along environmental gradients.
1. How the total number of individuals in a community is divided among its species is governed by both the distribution of species along landscape-scale environmental gradients and by local resource partitioning. In vertebrate ectotherms, abiotic environmental conditions may constrain geographic distributions more strongly than local population densities due to thermal constraints on resource a...
متن کاملNatural and Acquired Soil Quality along Environmental Gradients (tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain)
Abstract Tenerife Island, has a wide environmental diversity due to its altitude (3718m at its highest point) and to the climatic differences between its windward and leeward slopes. This work studies the changes in the natural soil quality along environmental gradients on the Tenerife Island and how this natural quality is modified by man’s effect on the ecosystem. For this purpose, a total of...
