Drivers of wildland fire behaviour variation across the Earth
(Univ Coimbra, 2018-01-01)
Fire behaviour characteristics define the impacts on society and the environment. While wildland fire science has expanded to include the analysis of fire activity and effects across the globe, an understanding of global ...
Does season affect fire behaviour in the Cerrado?
(2017-01-01)
Fire has played an important role in the plant dynamics and diversity of the Cerrado for millions of years. We evaluated fire behaviour in different fire seasons in areas of an open savanna, providing information for fire ...
Furan resin as a replacement of phenolics: influence of the clay addition on its thermal degradation and fire behaviour
(Wiley, 2014-09-22)
Nanocomposites based on a furan resin and different types of clays were obtained. Their thermal and fire behaviours were compared with traditional phenolic resins, which are known by their excellent flame resistance. Three ...
Effects of fire on forest communities and sclerophyllous scrubs in Central Chile as a basis for the formulation of restoration guidelines
(Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Turquía, 2021)
The effects of fire on forest and Mediterranean scrubs in four regions of Chile were studied. The main objective was to determine different levels of damage in watersheds with forest and native sclerophyllous scrubs belonging ...
Atmospheric and fuel conditions related to the Puerto Madryn Fire of 21 January, 1994
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2001-09)
The atmospheric and fuel conditions that led to the case of extreme fire behaviour registered in Puerto Madryn in north-eastern Patagonia, Argentina, on 21 January 1994 were analysed in this study. The analyses included ...
Simulation of the Thermal Behaviour of UF 6 Containment Packages in Fires
(Taylor & Francis, 2000-06)
Computer simulation results concerning the thermal behaviour of a UF6 container in fires are presented. The results have been obtained using three different approximations, namely: a coarsely lumped parameter model, a heat ...
Changes in vegetation structure and fuel characteristics along post-fire succession promote alternative stable states and positive fire–vegetation feedbacks
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-03)
Aims: Structural and compositional changes along post-fire succession modify plant community proneness to burn (flammability). The dominant regeneration strategies and life forms, and their interactions along post-fire ...
