Are wildfires a disaster in the Mediterranean basin? – A review
- J. G. Pausas, J. Llovet, A. Rodrigo, R. Vallejo
- Geography
- 26 December 2008
Evolutionary and paleoecological studies suggest that fires are natural in the Mediterranean basin. However, the important increase in the number of fires and area burned during the 20th century has… Expand

Fire as an evolutionary pressure shaping plant traits.
- J. Keeley, J. G. Pausas, P. Rundel, W. Bond, R. Bradstock
- Biology, Medicine
- Trends in plant science
- 1 August 2011
Traits, such as resprouting, serotiny and germination by heat and smoke, are adaptive in fire-prone environments. However, plants are not adapted to fire per se but to fire regimes. Species can be… Expand
Changes in Fire and Climate in the Eastern Iberian Peninsula (Mediterranean Basin)
- J. G. Pausas
- Economics
- 1 April 2004
Fire is a dominant ecological factor in Mediterranean ecosystems, and changes in the fire regime can have important consequences for the stability of our landscapes. In this framework I asked… Expand
Fire regime changes in the Western Mediterranean Basin: from fuel-limited to drought-driven fire regime
- J. G. Pausas, S. Fernández-Muñoz
- Environmental Science
- Climatic Change
- 2011
Wildfires are an integral part of Mediterranean ecosystems; humans impact on landscapes imply changes in fuel amount and continuity, and thus in fire regime. We tested the hypothesis that fire regime… Expand

- M. Bugalho, M. Caldeira, J. Pereira, James C. Aronson, J. G. Pausas
- Geography
- 1 June 2011
Mediterranean cork oak savannas, which are found only in southwestern Europe and northwestern Africa, are ecosystems of high socioeconomic and conservation value. Characterized by sparse tree cover… Expand
PLANT FUNCTIONAL TRAITS IN RELATION TO FIRE IN CROWN-FIRE ECOSYSTEMS
- J. G. Pausas, R. Bradstock, D. Keith, J. Keeley
- Biology
- 1 April 2004
Disturbance is a dominant factor in many ecosystems, and the disturbance regime is likely to change over the next decades in response to land-use changes and global warming. We assume that… Expand
Patterns of plant species richness in relation to different environments: An appraisal
- J. G. Pausas, M. Austin
- Biology
- 1 April 2001
We review patterns of plant species richness with respect to variables related to resource availability and vari- ables that have direct physiological impact on plant growth or resource availability.… Expand
