A geomorphometric model to determine topographic parameters controlling wildfires occurrence in tropical dry forests
(2022)
Tropical dry forests (TDF) are commonly affected by wildfires, especially during the dry season and drought periods. Many studies have identified ecological, pedological, and climatic variables that control fires ignition ...
An Analysis of the Effects of Large Wildfires on the Hydrology of Three Small Catchments in Central Chile Using Tritium-Based Measurements and Hydrological Metrics
(2022)
Wildfires are an important disturbance affecting catchments’ soil and hydrological processes within. Wildfires are predicted to increase in both frequency and severity under climate change. Here,
we present measurements ...
Characterizing Predictability of Fire Occurrence in Tropical Forests and Grasslands: The Case of Puerto Rico
(IntechOpen, 2017)
Global estimates of fire frequency indicate that over 70% of active fires occur in the tropics, and the size and frequency of fires are increasing every year. The majority of fires in the tropics are an unintended consequence ...
A recent review of fire behavior and fire effects on native vegetation in Central Chile
(Elsevier, 2020)
Central Chile experienced a very extended and devastating fire season during 2016e17. After 3 years, here we present the results of an analysis of behavior of the wildfires occurred in that season.We used a modeling approach ...
Software fires detection and extinction for forest
This article shows the most usual fire detection and
forest extinction application technologies at present. We will see
all different methods used by these applications that can be
found in the Market and some examples. ...
Proposals of rehabilitation and management actions for the protection of sclerophyllous forests affected by forest fires
(Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Turquia, 2022)
The damage and effects of fire on the native vegetation of Central Chile have been increasing in recent years due to drought conditions and the state of abandonment of the Mediterranean forests. The objective of this ...
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (Uavs) for estimating soil volumes retained by check dams after wildfires in mediterranean forests
(2021-03-01)
Check dams act as soil collectors during floods, thus retaining a large amount of sediments. The estimation of the soil volumes stored behind a check dam is a key activity for a proper design of these control works and for ...
