Stones as Fire Refugia for Ground-Dwelling Macroinvertebrates: Management Implications in Mediterranean Forestry

Fire refugia are critical for post-disturbance recovery, yet microhabitats such as stones remain understudied despite their ubiquity and thermal persistence. This study tested whether the depth- and area-dependent refugial capacity of stones previously demonstrated in Mediterranean oak forests also...
