Forest connectivity percolation thresholds for fire spread under different weather conditions
(ELSEVIER, 2021)
How fuel influences fire spread at different spatial scales has been broadly studied but it is still under research. Although prior research has generally explored fuel effects at the stand scale, there is increasing ...
Evidence of Neogene wildfires in central Chile: Charcoal records from the Navidad Formation
(2016)
Mediterranean-type climate (MTC) ecosystems are characterized by recurrent wildfires. Although the majority of wildfires are human-ignited, non-anthropogenic (Le., natural) wildfires are common in all MTC regions except ...
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 ...
Increase in the quality of the prediction of a computational wildfire behavior method through the improvement of the internal metaheuristic
(Elsevier, 2016-05)
Wildfires cause great losses and harms every year, some of which are often irreparable. Among the different strategies and technologies available to mitigate the effects of fire, wildfire behavior prediction may be a ...
Smoke from regional wildfires alters lake ecology
(Nature, 2021-05-25)
Wildfire smoke often covers areas larger than the burned area, yet the impacts of smoke on nearby aquatic ecosystems are understudied. In the summer of 2018, wildfire smoke covered Castle Lake (California, USA) for 55 days. ...
Comparison of moth communities following clear-cutting and wildfire disturbance in the southern boreal forest
(Elsevier Science, 2012-04)
Nocturnal macrolepidopteran fauna (moths) of the southern boreal forest of Ontario, Canada, were compared between forests clear-cut or burned by wildfire approximately 5. years previously to assess whether their assemblages ...
A wildfires vulnerability model for Guanacaste Conservation Area, Costa RicaModelo de vulnerabilidad ante incendios forestales para el Área de Conservación Guanacaste, Costa Rica
(Universidad Estatal a Distancia, Costa Rica, 2018)
Determining fuel moisture thresholds to assess wildfire hazard: A contribution to an operational early warning system
(Public Library of Science, 2018-10-04)
Fuel moisture content (FMC) is an important fuel property for assessing wildfire hazard, since it influences fuel flammability and fire behavior. The relationship between FMC and fire activity differs among land covers and ...
Remote sensing techniques to assess post-fire vegetation recovery
(2021-06-01)
Wildfires substantially disrupt and reshape the structure, composition and functioning of ecosystems. Monitoring post-fire recovery dynamics is crucial for evaluating resilience and securing the relevant information that ...
