Management impacts on fire occurrence: A comparison of fire regimes of African and South American tropical savannas in different protected areas
(2018-07-15)
Humans can alter fire dynamics in grassland systems by changing fire frequency, fire seasonality and fuel conditions. These changes have effects on vegetation structure and recovery, species composition, and ecosystem ...
Environmental drivers and spatial dependency in wildfire ignition patterns of northwestern Patagonia
(Academic Press Ltd-elsevier Science Ltd, 2013-07-15)
Fire management requires an understanding of the spatial characteristics of fire ignition patterns and how anthropogenic and natural factors influence ignition patterns across space. In this study we take advantage of a ...
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 ...
Ignition probability of fine dead surface fuels in native Patagonian forests of Argentina
(INIA, 2013-11)
Aim of study: The Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) is being implemented all over the world. This index is being adapted to the Argentinean ecosystems since the year 2000. With the objective of calibrating the Fine ...
Flammability thresholds or flammability gradients? Determinants of fire across savanna–forest transitions
(2020-01-01)
Vegetation–fire feedbacks are important for determining the distribution of forest and savanna. To understand how vegetation structure controls these feedbacks, we quantified flammability across gradients of tree density ...
Co-firing of blends of sugarcane bagasse and coal: Thermal and kinetic behaviors
(2018-05-01)
The interaction effects between sugarcane bagasse and a Brazilian coal during co-firing were investigated by means of thermal decomposition behavior, comparison between theoretical and experimental results, activation ...
Assessment of fire reaction and fire resistance of Guadua angustifolia kunth bamboo
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2012)
The main challenge for construction industry today is sustainability. Bamboo has properties that make it sustainable, but its fire behavior remains unknown. This paper presents an exploratory research on fire behavior of ...
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 ...
