Baptism by fire: the pivotal role of ancient conflagrations in evolution of the Earth's flora

Fire became a defining feature of the Earth’s processes as soon as land plants evolved 420 million years ago and has played a major role in shaping the composition and physiognomy of many ecosystems ever since. However, there remains a general lack of appreciation of the place of fire in the origin,...
