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 ...
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 ...
Cell2Fire: A cell-based forest fire growth model to support strategic landscape management planning
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Cell2Fire is a new cell-based wildland fire growth simulator designed to integrate
data-driven landscape management planning models. The fire environment is modeled
by partitioning the landscape into cells characterized ...
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 ...
Human-environmental drivers and impacts of the globally extreme 2017 Chilean fires
(2019)
In January 2017, hundreds of fires in Mediterranean Chile burnt more than 5000km(2), an area nearly 14 times the 40-year mean. We contextualize these fires in terms of estimates of global fire intensity using MODIS satellite ...
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 ...
Fire regulations in industrial companies and the level of impact and risk: the case of the municipality of Soledad, Atlántico
(International Information and Engineering Technology AssociationUnited Kingdom, 2022)
Pinus contorta invasion changes forest fuel properties and could impact fire regimes in patagonia
(2016)
Invasive woody plants can change fire regimes through modifications of fuel properties, these changes
in fire-prone environments, could potentially impact the fire regime. In south-central and south Chile the
invasion of ...
Understanding Compartmentation Failure for High-Rise Timber Buildings
(2024)
The traditional concept of compartmentation guaranteed by fire resistance is mainly concerned with the problem of destructive internal spread potential. External convective spread potential pertains to the loss of ...
