Effects of Invasive Alien Plants on Fire Regimes
Open accessAbstract
Plant invasions are widely recognized as significant threats to biodiversity conservation worldwide.One way invasions can affect native ecosystems is by changing fuel properties, which can in turn affect fire behavior and, ultimately, alter fire regime characteristics such as frequency, intensity, extent, type, and seasonality of fire.If the regime changes subsequently promote the dominance of the invaders, then an invasive plant-fire regime cycle can be established.As more ecosystem components and interactions are altered, restoration of preinvasion conditions becomes more difficult.Restoration may require managing fuel conditions, fire regimes, native plant communities, and other ecosystem properties in addition to the invaders that caused the changes in the first place.We present a multiphase model describing the interrelationships between plant invaders and fire regimes, provide a system for evaluating the relative effects of invaders and prioritizing them for control, and recommend ways to restore preinvasion fire regime properties.

Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“native populations, modify the phylogenetic and functional diversity of invaded communities and trophic networks, and alter ecosystem productivity, nutrient and contaminant cycling, hydrology, and disturbance regimes (e.g. Brooks et al., 2004; Suarez & Tsutsui, 2008; Kenis et al., 2009; Ricciardi et al., 2013; Blackburn, Bellard, & Ricciardi, 2019).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
