Probability of surface fire spread in Brazilian rainforest fuels from outdoor experimental measurements
(2017-04-01)
This paper describes the development of a logistic model to predict the probability of surface fire spread in Brazilian rainforest fuels from outdoor experimental measurements. Surface fires spread over litter composed ...
Drivers of fire anomalies in the Brazilian Amazon: Lessons learned from the 2019 fire crisis
(2020-12-01)
The 2019 fire crisis in Amazonia dominated global news and triggered fundamental questions about the possible causes behind it. Here we performed an in-depth investigation of the drivers of active fire anomalies in the ...
A review of fire effects across South American ecosystems: The role of climate and time since fire
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021-12)
Fire is an important driver of ecosystem dynamics worldwide. However, knowledge on broad-scale patterns of ecosystem and organism responses to fires is still scarce. Through a systematic quantitative review of available ...
Growth and reproductive post-fire responses of two shrubs in semiarid Patagonian grasslands
(Csiro Publishing, 2015-05)
Variation in fire intensity affects the post-fire survival and growth of shrubs. We examined effects of maximum fire temperature (a proxy for fire intensity) on the survival, growth and reproductive performance of the ...
Generating Stochastic Ellipsoidal Forest and Wildland Fire Scar Scenarios for Strategic Forest Management Planning under Uncertainty
(Society of American Foresters, 2014)
Explicit consideration of the possibility of wildfires enhances strategic planning for landscape management; however, incorporating the stochastic processes that govern
fire occurrence and spread in optimization models ...
Dendroecological potential of shrubs for reconstructing fire history at landscape scale in Mediterranean-type climate grasslands: the case of Fabiana imbricata
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2015-01)
Fire recurrently affects Mediterranean-type climate (MTC) regions causing major implications on the structure and dynamics of vegetation. In these regions, it is important to know the fire regime for which reliable fire ...
Drivers of fire occurrence in a mountainous Brazilian cerrado savanna: Tracking long-term fire regimes using remote sensing
(2017-07-01)
Fire is a natural disturbance in savannas, and defines vegetation physiognomy and structure, often influencing species diversity. Fire activity is determined by a wide range of factors, including long and short term climatic ...
