We review interactions between tropical cyclones and fires that affect woody biomes in many islands and coastal areas. Cyclone-induced damage to trees can increase fuel loads on the ground and dryness in the understory, which increases the likelihood, intensity, and area of subsequent fires. In forest biomes, cyclone-fire interactions may initiate a grass-fire cycle and establish stable open-canopy biomes. In cyclone-prone regions, frequent cyclone-enhanced fires may generate and main-tain stable open-canopy biomes (e.g., savannas and woodlands). We discuss how global change is transforming fire and cyclone regimes, extensively altering cyclone-fire interactions. These altered cyclone-fire interactions are shifting biomes away from historical states and causing loss of biodiversity. specialized MONDE 021 082 076 27 12 1218-1230 2022 1360-1385 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010086678 10.1016/j.tplants.2022.08.005 1360-1385 [F B010086678] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010086678 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2023-01/010086678.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2023-01-11 2025-02-24 fdi:010086678 fre
