Hysteresis is a fundamental characteristic of alternative stable state theory, yet evidence of hysteresis is rare. In mesic grasslands, fire frequency regulates transition from grass- to shrub-dominated system states. It is uncertain, however, if inc

On the Ground • Despite prescribed fire programs, invasive juniper trees are increasing in the Great Plains. • Continued encroachment of junipers in the Great Plains, especially eastern redcedar and Ashe’s juniper, is degrading grasslands and i

A growing body of evidence suggests humans are pushing ecosystems near or beyond key ecological thresholds, resulting in transitions to new, sometimes undesirable phases or states that are costly to reverse. We used remotely sensed fire data to asses

Foraging decisions by native grazers in fire-dependent landscapes modulate the fire–grazing interaction. Uncovering the behavioral mechanisms associated with the attraction of grazers to recently burned areas requires understanding at multiple spat

Summary 1. This review synthesizes evidence that altered fire frequency drives discontinuous ecosystem transitions from mesic grasslands to shrublands or woodlands in the Central Great Plains, USA. 2. Long-term fire manipulations reveal that grasslan

Closely integrated research between archaeologists and ecologists provides a long-term view of human land use that is rare in the ecological literature, allowing for investigation of activities that lead to enduring environmental outcomes. This exten

Individuals of the cactus Cylindropuntia fulgida, are adapted to long periods of environmental stress with ephemeral periods of resource abundance (e.g., seasonal rains and subsequent nutrient mineralization) which requires this slow-growing cactus t

Ecological processes of low-productivity ecosystems have long been considered to be driven by abiotic controls with biotic interactions playing an insignificant role. However, existing studies present conflicting evidence concerning the roles of thes

Modern urban development provides an excellent laboratory for examining the interplay among socioecological relationships. We analyzed how the rapidly urbanizing Phoenix, Arizona metropolis has affected plant species diversity and community compositi
