Effects of fire disturbance on bird communities and species of mountain Serrano forest in central Argentina
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
In central Argentina, Serrano forest has a long history of fire disturbance; however, the impact of fire on avifauna remains unknown. We compared the avian–habitat relationships in forest patches with low, moderate, and ...
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 ...
Modulation of Fire Regimes by Vegetation and Site Type in Southwestern Patagonia Since 13 ka
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-04)
The degree to which vegetation and site type have influenced fire regimes through the Holocene has not been investigated in detail in the temperate ecosystems of southern Patagonia. Here we present a first attempt using a ...
Structural resistance and functional resilience of the Chaco forest to wildland fires: an approach with MODIS time series
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-04)
Forests have resistance that allows them to resist fires without changing to another state, and resilience that allows them to recover after disturbance. These properties are determined by many structural and functional ...
Selecting control sites for post-fire ecological studies using biological criteria and modis time series data
(Association for Fire Ecology, 2017-02)
Wildland fires play a key role in the functioning and structure of vegetation. The availability of sensors aboard satellites, such as Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), makes possible the construction ...
Thermal post-buckling behavior of oil storage tanks under a nearby fire
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
This paper reports research on the thermal buckling and post-buckling of vertical steel tanks under heat induced by a nearby burning tank. A two-layer solid flame model is adopted and a heat transfer analysis is carried ...
Pyrogenic organic matter from palaeo-fires during the Holocene: A case study in a sequence of buried soils at the Central Ebro Basin (NE Spain)
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-05)
We studied the fire record and its environmental consequences during the Holocene in the Central Ebro Basin. This region is very sensitive to environmental changes due to its semiarid conditions, lithological features and ...
Structural-functional approach to identify post-disturbance recovery indicators in forests from northwestern Patagonia: a tool to prevent state transitions
(Elsevier Science, 2015-05)
The disruption of the natural post-disturbance recovery process, either by changes in disturbance regime or by another disturbance, can trigger transitions to alternative degraded states. In a scenario of high disturbance ...
Selección de parcelas control para estudios de la dinámica post-incendios: desempeño de rutinas no paramétricas y autorregresivasControl plot selection for studies of post-fire dynamics: performance of non-parametric and autoregressive routines
(Universitat Politecnica de Valencia, 2017-11)
Los regímenes naturales de incendios han sufrido modificaciones; consecuentemente, es indispensable disponer de herramientas robustas para el seguimiento post-fuego de la vegetación. Los satélites de alta resolución temporal ...
Does fire disturbance affect ant community structure? Insights from spatial co-occurrence networks
(Springer, 2018-12)
The coexistence of several species involves a complex mix of positive and negative interactions that can be represented as networks. As much as other ecological features, patterns of multispecies co-occurrence are susceptible ...
