متن کاملVegetation disturbance by fire affects plant reproductive phenology in a shrubland community in northwestern Patagonia, Argentina
Reproductive phenology is likely to vary spatially with environmental conditions that alter microclimate, in particular temperature. We hypothesized that within the same plant community type, environmental changes produced by recent burning would alter plant phenological patterns and temporal structure of the plant community. Specifically, we predicted accelerated flowering and fruiting dates i...

It is located on a calcareous hillside facing SSE and composed of nine erosion plots (4 x 20 m). In summer 2003, after eight years of soil and vegetation recovery from previo...
متن کاملFire Response Strategies Open Coexistence Opportunities in Fire-prone Heathlands
Fire is known to be an important factor in many ecological systems [Whelan 1995]. In plant communities, the combined effects of opening up space, burning biomass, and releasing nutrients to the soil offer a variety changing environmental conditions. When burns are relatively frequent, and a stable burning regime has persisted on evolutionary time scales, many species develop specific responses ...
متن کاملVariability of vegetation fire emissions
Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Biomass burning has long been recognised as an important source of trace gases and aerosols in the atmosphere. The burning of vegetation has a repeating seasonal pattern, but the intensity of burning and the exact localisation of fires vary considerably f...
