BarrelExplosionAtlas - Deals (0-100)% more Damage, Deals (776-1752) to (1164-2628) Fire Damage, 100% more Cast Speed (page)
MonsterGroundFireSelfDaemon - Deals (2-105.4) Base Fire Damage per second, Base duration is 5.00 seconds (page) skill is one common example of a ground effect.
Mechanics
Ground effects do not affect allies of the character that created them. Likewise, ground effects created by monsters or the environment will not affect other monsters. All totems are immune to ground effects.
'Flying' monsters, including Soulless Watchers, are not affected by certain ground effects that lie close to the ground. Other ground effects, such as those that consist of vapor or smoke, can influence monsters above the ground as well.[1]

Types of ground effects
Burning ground
Burning ground deals burning damage (fire damage over time) to non-flying entities.
The amount of damage per second inflicted by burning ground depends on its source. Burning ground does not cumulatively stack damage when multiple patches overlap. Only the one with the highest damage per second will cause damage at any given moment.

- The environment in maps and corrupted areas with the 'of Flames' suffix
Chilled ground
Chilled ground in all forms chills non-flying entities.
There are many different sources of chilled ground, notably:
