Global responses of plant abundance, diversity, and fitness to increased fire severity or frequency

Database of responses of plant abundance, diversity, and fitness to
increased fire frequency or severity, collected from published scientific
articles or reports. The database includes 394 studies published worldwide
between 1962 and 2023. Information on the following variables are also
provided: fire regime component (fire frequency or severity), time since
the last fire, fire type (wildfire or prescribed fire), historical fire
regime type (surface or crown fire), plant life form (woody plant, herb,
or bryophyte), habitat type, and climate. The database underpins the
meta-analysis 'Global plant responses to intensified fire
regimes', published in Global Ecology and Biogeography.
