Flammability across the gymnosperm phylogeny: the importance of litter particle size.

The New phytologist - 1 Apr 2015

Abstract excerpt

Fire is important to climate, element cycles and plant communities, with many fires spreading via surface litter. The influence of species on the spread of surface fire is mediated by their traits which, after senescence and abscission, have 'afterlife' effects on litter flammability. We hypothes...
