Abstract:
Fire regimes are shifting worldwide, yet no common framework describes their direction, rate, or ecological effects. We introduce fire-regime velocity, the rate and direction of movement through a multidimensional fire-regime state space. By linking velocity to adaptive responses, the framework can help predict the consequences of fire-regime shifts for population persistence.
