Land cover, more than monthly fire weather, drives fire-size distribution in Southern Québec forests: Implications for fire risk management
Fire activity in North American forests is expected to increase substantially with climate change. This would represent a growing risk to human settlements and industrial infrastructure proximal to forests, and to the forest products industry. We modelled fire size distributions in southern Québec as functions of fire weather and land cover, thus explicitly integrating some of the biotic intera...
متن کاملSpillover of agriculturally subsidized predators as a potential threat to native insect herbivores in fragmented landscapes.
Habitat loss and fragmentation can have strong negative impacts on populations of some native species. Spillover of generalist natural enemies from the surrounding landscape matrix is one mechanism potentially generating such effects, yet this has been rarely studied in insects. We examined the influence of habitat conversion to agriculture on the abundance and potential effects of predatory co...

متن کاملThe changing role of fire in mediating the relationships among oaks, grasslands, mesic temperate forests, and boreal forests in the Lake States
Historically, oak forests and woodlands intergraded with southern boreal forest, temperate mesic forest, and grassland biomes, forming complex fire-mediated relationships in the Great Lakes region of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, USA. Variability in fire recurrence intervals allowed oaks to mix with grasses or with mesic forest species in areas with high (2–10 yr) or moderate (several dec...
متن کاملInfluence and Management of Herbivores in Forests
The wet tropical forest is, on the whole, a unique ecosystem in the world that is known to house the absolute highest number of species of both plants and animals. In this regard, it is enough to stress that the total number of flowering plant species currently known around the world is ~250 000, of which ~90 000 are of the rain forests of South America and Central America, and ~30 000 are of t...
