Wildland fire in ecosystems: effects of fire on flora
James K. Brown,Jane Kapler Smith +1 more
TL;DR: Brown et al. as discussed by the authors reviewed the effects of fire on flora and fuels and provided a state-of-the-art review about the ecological role of fire in ecosystems, including fire regime classification, autecological effects, fire regime characteristics and postfire plant community development.

A review of the regeneration dynamics of North American boreal forest tree species
David F. Greene,John C. Zasada,Luc Sirois,Daniel Kneeshaw,Hubert Morin,I. Charron,Marie-Josée Simard +6 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on the biotic parameters that are crucial to an understanding of the recruitment dynamics of North American boreal tree species following natural or human-induced disturbances and suggests a short-term research agenda whose completion would lead to the parameterized functions that would constitute the recruitment subroutine in a landscape-scale forest dynamics simulator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Annual variability in seed production by woody plants and the masting concept: reassessment of principles and relationship to pollination and seed dispersal.
TL;DR: It is concluded that there are no objective reasons to perpetuate the concept of mast fruiting in the ecological literature as a shorthand to designate a distinct biological phenomenon and associations between supra‐annual variabiity in seed output and pollination and seed dispersal methods suggest the existence of important reproductive correlates that demand further investigation.

The Role of Life History Processes in Primary Succession on an Alaskan Floodplain
TL;DR: The pattern of primary succession on the floodplain of the Tanana River in interior Alaska resulted largely from interactions between stochastic events and life history traits of the dom?
