Frequent burning maintained a stable grassland over four decades in the Drakensberg, South Africa

Craig D. Morris et al.

Summary: The mesic montane grasslands in the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg region have evolved and are sustained by recurrent fires, with regular dormant season burning found to maintain stable grassland composition. Unplanned burns and biennial summer burning have shown to result in significant shifts in grassland composition.

A reconstruction of the recent fire regimes of Majete Wildlife Reserve, Malawi, using remote sensing

Willem A. Nieman et al.

Summary: This study utilized remote sensing to develop a spatially explicit dataset on past fire regimes in Majete Wildlife Reserve, and identified characteristics such as mean fire return intervals, fire intensities, and seasonal distribution. The results revealed a mismatch between intended fire management goals and actual trends, emphasizing the need for re-evaluation of fire policies and further research on the links between fires and ecological outcomes.

African burned area and fire carbon emissions are strongly impacted by small fires undetected by coarse resolution satellite data

Ruben Ramo et al.

Summary: The study found that in subSaharan Africa, the BA product generated from Sentinel-2 MSI images detected 80% more burned areas compared to the MODIS product, mainly due to small fires. Including small fires in emission estimates increased the contribution of biomass burning to global burdens of greenhouse gases and aerosols.

A review of fire management practices in African savanna-protected areas

Willem A. Nieman et al.

Summary: This article reviews the goals and approaches of fire management practices in African savanna-protected areas, and finds that fire management has evolved in response to changing ecological understanding and protected area goals. Different sites within larger protected areas may have varying fire management practices to achieve a range of goals.

Multidecadal effects of fire in a grassland biodiversity hotspot: Does pyrodiversity enhance plant diversity?

Paul J. Gordijn et al.

Summary: The study examined the relationship between pyrodiversity and biodiversity, finding partial support for the hypothesis within plant communities. The influence of different fire regimes on plant diversity was complex, with fire frequency and scale having indirect effects on vegetation structure and environment, emphasizing the importance of focusing on rotational fire regimes for management.
