Talk:Fire regime

Hello, I would suggest adding onto the "Invasive Species Effect on Fire Regime" section: Certain invasive species can also be effectively controlled under certain fire regimes. Simulation models have found that disturbance-based management can control native invasive species when the cause is due to a shifted disturbance in the fire regime. Further research should be done to examine how restoring historic fire regimes can influence non-native invasive species as well.^[1] Standard-fare (talk) 23:59, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Hey everyone, I added a section "Effects from altered fire regimes," which is about the problems that arise when a regime changes. I managed to find and add some information about what happens when fire intervals decrease, but I think it would be beneficial if we could find any more effects from other aspects of fire regime changes. I also fixed the link for California chaparral source, which was broken. Furthermore, I replaced the werc.usgs.gov source. The link was broken, so I searched on the site and I believe to have found a source close to the original: an article published in Science, 284. I also added more information to "United States" from this original source, and hyperlinked some words to their respective wikipedia articles. Thanks! Bailey.t (talk) 02:35, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

I removed the bushfire management paragraph. It did not have any sources. I also felt that it either needed to be moved to a different place or topic or needed to be rewritten to relate better to fire regime. Bailey.t (talk) 06:25, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi I am adding information on how we characterize fire regimes and their basic components. I will also be deleting the section on California because it was disproven that fire suppression causes larger less frequent bonfires^[2] --Melmacd94 (talk) 15:14, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

This was a great start on the complex subject of fire regimes. Pointing out that an unnatural response to natural systems is critical to convey and the author did a good job nailing that point. I particularly appreciate the way the subject is subdivided into effects, examples, and how invasive species affect a natural regime. All the sections can be expanded, but I feel it best to contribute by expanding on examples of regime studies, as examples are often good vehicles for describing the different processes behind them.
