Influence of tree species on continental differences in boreal fires ...
Feb 2, 2015 · Divergent adaptations have emerged from this selection pressure, including fire ‘embracer’, ‘resister’ and ‘avoider’ strategies for coniferous trees.
Results. Forest types dominated by fire-resister spe-cies (e.g., ponderosa pine) experienced lower fire severity than forest types dominated by non-resister species such as lodgepole pine (fire-embracer) and subalpine fir (fire-avoider).

Feb 18, 2019 · The simulated distributions of embracer and resister trees exhibit an asymmetric behaviour between North America and Eurasia.
Embracers are generally killed by fires and regenerate immediately from (semi-)serotinous cones that release seeds when burned13,17. In contrast, fire resisters suppress crown fires through self-pruning and, in the case of larch, high leaf moisture12,18,19.
Effects of climate and fire on short-term vegetation recovery in the ...
Nov 18, 2016 · In fire “embracer”-dominated forests, such as those dominated by Picea mariana, Pinus contorta, and Pinus banksiana, fires are typically of intermediate frequency and high severity.
Evolutionary fire ecology: Lessons learned from pines
Mar 22, 2015 · Tree species can be classified into five strategies according to their response to fire: resister, embracer, avoider, endurer, and colonizer (Rowe 1983;Agee 1993;Wirth 2005;Tautenhahn et al....
