• Dissecting a biodiversity hotspot: The importance of environmentally marginal habitats in the Atlantic Forest Domain of South America (2017, result): “Previous studies give support to grass coverage as a good proxy of fire frequency (Archibald et al., 2013; Hoffmann et al., 2012; Lehmann et al., 2014), although further quantification of fire regime is clearly needed (c.f. Archibald et al., 2013).”
• Focus on changing fire regimes: interactions with climate, ecosystems, and society (2020, background): “…the categorization of fire types by limiting factor (fuel or dryness) by Boer et al (2016), and the fire weather types developed by Ruffault et al (2016), could be extended to other systems and even globally in order to improve our understanding and definintion of ‘pyromes’ (Archibald et al 2013).”
• Biological and geophysical feedbacks with fire in the Earth system (2018, background): “These characteristics are inter-related (for example systems with intense fires that burn a lot of fuel will burn infrequently) and fire is therefore multi-dimensional (Archibald et al 2013).”
• Effects of climate extremes on the terrestrial carbon cycle: concepts, processes and potential future impacts (2015, background): “For instance, frequent and low-intensity savannah fires (Archibald et al., 2012) may release over a year as much CO2 as would have been decomposed otherwise by microbes (Li et al., 2013).”
• Baptism by fire: the pivotal role of ancient conflagrations in evolution of the Earth's flora (2018, background): “Wildfires are widespread in the modern world, with much of the Earth subject to periodic fires [1]: about 60% of the Earth’s land surface is currently burnt over a given 15-year period [2].”
