The region is much drier than the Amazon, which it borders along the latter's southeastern edge; the Cerrado has a long annual dry season and its plants are drought-tolerant and often fire-adapted.

The Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) is a non-native, fire-adapted species that is often planted on Chilean tree plantations; fires here can easily spread to vulnerable native forests.

For example, fires were once frequent around Wellington on cleared land that had become covered with gorse (Ulex europaeus), a fire-adapted, introduced species.

Changes in land management, particularly the replacement of fire-adapted systems with other forms of land cover, can increase the intensity and extent of fires, increasing the hazard to people.

Paperbark is a fire-adapted species with thick, fire-resistant bark.

Better-drained areas are subject to frequent fires, though it is not known how the frequency and seasonality of the fires affects the vegetation, which is fire-adapted.

The Tasmanian Temperate Forest ecoregion has been burned repeatedly by Tasmanian Aborigines for the last 12,000 years, encouraging open grassland savanna and the predominance of fire-adapted vegetation.
