π₯ Key mechanisms that regulate how populations respond to fire regimes, shared across taxa.
π₯ Key fire-related functional traits.
π₯Trait expressions that make species populations more vulnerable, or resilient to fire regimes.
π₯Interactions between fire and other threatening processes.

We had noticed the murky ways that fire was being referenced and described, and the need for shared language for fire-related research in this time of global change.
We hope that this paper is useful to interpret, apply, and scale fire-related ecological knowledge across ecosystems and continents.

Investigating patterns of wildfire in Ireland and their correlation with regional and global trends in fire history
In recent years a number of studies have suggested that trends in wildfire can be seen at a regional, national and global scale, and can be explained β¦
Great Q! Fire drives biodiversity in many parts of the world, including Europe. Lightning, people, and in some places even birds of prey, have lit fires and shaped resilient ecosystems for millennia. For example, this paper shows fire in the Irish Charcoal record in ~15,500BC tinyurl.com/thj5b9xt

From the re-introduction of herbivorous and hydrological engineers, to promoting mosaic burning, to relaxing fire suppression, strengthening important ecological processes is promising to restore fire regimes and enhance ecosystem function in many socio-ecological contexts worldwide.

Fire patterns are altered in many places, threatening ecosystem function.
We need action to restore fire patterns, including trying new approaches.
We explore how recovering important ecological processes (known as rewilding in the Northern hemispheres), may be promising to restore fire patterns
