TL;DR: In this paper, the diversity of ways in which fire operates as a fundamental ecological and evolutionary process on Earth is described, and the need to study fire across temporal scales, to assess the mechanisms underlying a variety of ecological feedbacks involving fire and to improve representation of fire in a range of modelling contexts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the primary differences between prescribed fire science and wildfire science in the study of fuels, fire behavior, fire weather, fire effects, and fire social science.

TL;DR: During the late fall of 2002, three burns in mixed conifer forest sites in the north-central Sierra Nevada were administered and fire-induced injury and mortality in 1300 trees were measured using logistic regression.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of science-based adaptation strategies for western North American (wNA) forests that include restoring active fire regimes and fostering resilient structure and composition of forested landscapes is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a synthesis describes some aspects of smoldering combustion, and discusses some of the particular ecological aspects of ground fires, focusing on examples from the southeastern United States.
