(I am reposting this to make it visible in latest posts. )
I’ve been studying and documenting fire-driven vegetation type conversion (VTC) from chaparral to grass for decades (e.g., https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/eap.2626); and I know there are other types of VTC happening in the Southwestern USA, such as from conifer forests to shrublands after high-severity fire. (e.g., Vegetation type conversion in the US Southwest: frontline observations and management responses | Fire Ecology).
My question is: where else is fire-driven VTC happening across the world? Could we generate a database to start documenting the biome, the type, the drivers, the spatial/time scales, and the effects these types of ecological transformations are occuring?
