Fire drives functional thresholds on the savanna-forest transition

In tropical landscapes, vegetation patches with contrasting tree densities are distributed as mosaics. However, the locations of patches and densities of trees within them cannot be predicted by climate models alone. It has been proposed that plant–fire feedbacks drive functional thresholds at a lan...
