Investigadores USM buscan descifrar cómo los compuestos que liberan y almacenan las plantas bajo estrés pueden influir en la intensidad y propagación de los incendios forestales.    Por María José Ara...

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 18 September 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00086-1In many locations globally, wildfires are becoming more frequent, intense and/or larger in area compared with historical fire regimes. This Review discusses the factors that determine how species and ecosystems respond to changing fire regimes and outlines important conservation and management considerations.

Despite recent advances in plant trait ecology, we identified a knowledge gap in understanding how plants strategize to cope with severe and recurrent disturbances. Here, we propose a new classificati...

The South American Mediterranean region is located in central Chile (23–39°S) and has a climate with hot dry summers and mild rainy winters. There, a typical sclerophyllous vegetation devel...

Premise Plants from regions where fire is a novel disturbance typically lack fire-adaptive traits, which may explain the post-fire invasion by alien plants from fire-prone ecosystems. Unlike many Me.....

Despite fire being one of the oldest and most important ecological disturbance processes on Earth, many aspects of fire–vegetation feedbacks are poorly understood, limiting their accurate representat...
