Swetnam,Guido R. van der Werf,Stephen J. Pyne +24 more
TL;DR: What is known and what is needed to develop a holistic understanding of the role of fire in the Earth system are reviewed, particularly in view of the pervasive impact of fires and the likelihood that they will become increasingly difficult to control as climate changes.
Fire as a global 'herbivore': the ecology and evolution of flammable ecosystems.
TL;DR: The recent literature is reviewed, drawing parallels between fire and herbivores as alternative consumers of vegetation, and pointing to the common questions and some surprisingly different answers that emerge from viewing fire as a globally significant consumer that is analogous to herbivory.

Fire intensity, fire severity and burn severity: a brief review and suggested usage
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have suggested replacing the terminology of fire intensity and fire severity with a more appropriate one, which is defined as ecosystem impacts from fire and thus is open to individual interpretation.
Effects of Invasive Alien Plants on Fire Regimes
Matthew L. Brooks,Carla M. D'Antonio,David M. Richardson,James B. Grace,Jon E. Keeley,Joseph M. DiTomaso,Richard J. Hobbs,Mike Pellant,David A. Pyke +8 more
TL;DR: A multiphase model describing the interrelationships between plant invaders and fire regimes is presented, a system for evaluating the relative effects of invaders and prioritizing them for control is provided, and ways to restore pre-invasion fire regime properties are recommended.

TL;DR: An historical framework is provided to promote understanding of the development and diversification of fire regimes, covering the pre-human period, human domestication of fire, and the subsequent transition from subsistence agriculture to industrial economies.
