Quo vadis C4? An ecophysiological perspective on global change and the future of C4 plants (2004, background): “Because C4 grasslands occurred on some of the most productive biomes of the planet, or themselves were viewed as valuable grazing sites, the C4-dominated biomes of the temperate zone have been converted if not altogether destroyed (Sage et al. 1999).”
Fire-related traits for plant species of the Mediterranean Basin (2009, background): “This latter point is especially important for fire-related plant traits because, in fire-prone ecosystems, fire regime changes may be more relevant than direct climatic changes (Flannigan et al. 2000, Bond et al. 2005).”
Continued warming could transform Greater Yellowstone fire regimes by mid-21st century (2011, result): “Our results are consistent with predictions for increased temperature-driven fire activity in other regions (20, 21, 23, 42, 43) but also suggest that future climate–fire dynamics may differ from those observed in the past.”
Quaternary palaeoecology and nature conservation: a general review with examples from the neotropics (2011, background): “…extension of vegetative periods (Peñuelas and Filella, 2001) and the upward migrations of plants and animals (Peñuelas et al., 2002; Parmesan and Yohe, 2003), and on the environment, such as more frequent and severe hurricanes (Anthes et al., 2006) and greater fire risk (Flannigan et al., 2000).”
Introducing effects of temperature and CO2 elevation on tree growth into a statistical growth and yield model (2005, background): “Such a definition of mortality also leaves other possible impacts of climate warming beyond the scope of this discussion, such as increased mortality due to pest outbreaks, pathogens and other disturbances (Ayres and Lombardero, 2000; Flannigan et al., 2000; Kasischke et al., 1995; Volney and Flemin”
PLANT FUNCTIONAL TRAITS IN RELATION TO FIRE IN CROWN-FIRE ECOSYSTEMS (2004, background): “Fire regimes are expected to change over the next century in response to land-use change and global warming (e.g., Piñol et al. 1998, Flannigan et al. 2000, Houghton et al. 2001, Pausas 2004).”
Driving forces of global wildfires over the past millennium and the forthcoming century (2010, result): “Nevertheless, it should be emphasized that although our projections agree with some regional studies (4, 26–28), they disagree with others (29), highlighting the uncertainty associated with estimating the future influence of climate and humans on biomass burning.”
