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 ...
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 recent review of fire behavior and fire effects on native vegetation in Central Chile
(Elsevier, 2020)
Central Chile experienced a very extended and devastating fire season during 2016e17. After 3 years, here we present the results of an analysis of behavior of the wildfires occurred in that season.We used a modeling approach ...
Climatic controls of Holocene fire patterns in southern South America
(2007)
Holocene fire-climate-vegetation linkages are mostly understood at individual sites by comparing charcoal and pollen records with other paleoenvironmental proxy and model simulations. This scale of reconstruction often ...
Análise comparativa das normas de segurança contra incêndio em edificação comercial na região sul
(Universidade Tecnológica Federal do ParanáCuritibaBrasilEspecialização em Engenharia de Segurança do TrabalhoUTFPR, 2016-04-04)
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the safety measures against fire comparing the laws of the Fire Department of the three states of the south of the country for a commercial building project. For the methodology of ...
Space-time dynamics of the burns in Brazil in the period 2003 to 2018Dinâmica espaço-temporal das queimadas no Brasil no período de 2003 a 2018
(2020-01-01)
In Brazil, vegetation fires are characterized by extensive and rapidly spreading fire lines that cause the mortality of flora and fauna species. Public policies were implemented to mitigate these damages, and for their ...
Soil fertility shapes fire activity across Mediterranean-type climate regions
(Wiley, 2023)
Aim:To quantify the role of soil fertility in the spatial variability of fire activity and to identify the mechanisms that drive this variability. Location:The five Mediterranean-type climate regions of the world.Time ...
Broad-scale surface and atmospheric conditions during large fires in South-Central Chile
(MDPI, 2021)
The unprecedented size of the 2017 wildfires that burned nearly 600,000 hectares of central Chile highlight a need to better understand the climatic conditions under which large fires develop. Here we evaluate synoptic ...
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 ...
