Fires enhance flammability in Ulex parviflorus.
Wildfires have been occurring in terrestrial ecosystems since the early evolution of plants (Bowman et al., 2009; Pausas & Keeley, 2009; Bond & Scott, 2010) and have shaped many species and ecosystems worldwide (Keeley et al., 2011). Plant flammability is an important driver of fire in terrestrial ecosystems and thus has a fundamental role in ecosystem dynamics and species evolution (Belcher et...
متن کاملGenetic component of flammability variation in a Mediterranean shrub.
Recurrent fires impose a strong selection pressure in many ecosystems worldwide. In such ecosystems, plant flammability is of paramount importance because it enhances population persistence, particularly in non-resprouting species. Indeed, there is evidence of phenotypic divergence of flammability under different fire regimes. Our general hypothesis is that flammability-enhancing traits are ada...

متن کاملFlammability as a biological concept
Studies examining plant flammability descriptors as fire-adaptive traits (e.g. Schwilk, 2003; Scarff & Westoby, 2006; Cowan & Ackerly, 2010; Saura-Mas et al., 2010; Pausas et al., 2012) are normally formulated within the framework of inclusive fitness theory. In such a framework, flammability-enhancing traits are considered to favour individuals if the elevated flammability confers fitness bene...
متن کاملMulch Flammability
Introduction Regardless of how horrible and devastating wildland fires are portrayed by the media, they are a natural disturbance that many native ecosystems depend on for regeneration. As the population of the United States increases, more individuals are building their homes in wildlands rather than urban landscapes. Homes built in undeveloped wildland vegetation create areas often referred t...
