Using efficient parallelization in Graphic Processing Units to parameterize stochastic fire propagation models
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
Wildfires are a major concern in Argentinian northwestern Patagonia and in many ecosystems and human societies around the world. We developed an efficient cellular automata model in Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) to ...
A field perspective on effects of fire and temperature fluctuation on Cerrado legume seeds
(2017-06-01)
Information from a field perspective on temperature thresholds related to physical dormancy (PY) alleviation and seed resistance to high temperatures of fire is crucial to disentangle fire- and non-fire-related germination ...
Fire-triggered flowering is the dominant post-fire strategy in a tropical savanna
(2021-03-01)
Questions: In fire-prone ecosystems, fire can enhance the flowering and fruiting of many species, a strategy assumed to be well represented in savanna. Despite this, there are surprisingly few studies assessing how prevalent ...
Assessing Fire Severity in Semiarid Environments with the DNBR and RDNBR Indices
(Global Journals, 2019-03-31)
Available remote sensing historical Landsat TM images allow identifying of first order effects of wildfires also in huge and inaccessible regions. In this paper the usefulness of the best known satellitederived severity ...
Fire regime, climate, and vegetation in the Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina
(Association for Fire Ecology, 2015-06)
Wildfires are a primary disturbance in the Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina,with approximately 2152000 ha burned between 1993 and 2012. However,little is known about the spatial and temporal patterns of fires and theirrelationship ...
FIRE INTENSITY AND SEVERITY IN BRAZILIAN CAMPOS GRASSLANDS
(INTERCIENCIA, 2010)
Brazilian Campos grasslands are rich in species and the maintenance of its diversity and physiognomy is dependent on disturbance (e.g. fire and grazing) Nevertheless, studies about fire intensity and severity are inexistent. ...
Numerical simulation of surface forest fire in Brazilian Amazon
(2016-01-01)
This paper investigates fire spread through surface fuels of the Brazilian Amazon by using a three-dimensional, fully transient, physics-based computer simulation approach. Computer simulations are obtained through the ...
Influence of fuel conditions on the occurrence, propagation and duration of wildland fires: A regional approach
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-09)
Wildfires affect Earth´s surface every year. Fuels conditions influence fire occurrence and behavior; therefore, their characterization is important for fire risk studies. We analyzed vegetation conditions influencing fires ...
Climatic controls of Holocene fire patterns in southern South America
(2007)
Holocene fire-climate-vegetation linkages are mostly understood at individual sites by comparing charcoal and pollen records with other paleoenvironmental proxy and model simulations. This scale of reconstruction often ...
