Fire frequency affects fire behavior in open savannas of the Cerrado
(2021-02-15)
Fire is an environmental factor that helps in shaping plant communities by influencing their structure and function. Frequency is an important component of the fire regime. In tropical savannas, fire frequency is high, ...
A field perspective on effects of fire and temperature fluctuation on Cerrado legume seeds
(2017-06-01)
Information from a field perspective on temperature thresholds related to physical dormancy (PY) alleviation and seed resistance to high temperatures of fire is crucial to disentangle fire- and non-fire-related germination ...
How do the wets burn? Fire behavior and intensity in wet grasslands in the Brazilian savanna
(2017-03-01)
Although wetlands are commonly managed with fire by local communities and managers in tropical savannas, little is known about fire behavior in these ecosystems. We measured fire intensity and temperature in 13 experimental ...
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 ...
FIRE INTENSITY AND SEVERITY IN BRAZILIAN CAMPOS GRASSLANDS
(INTERCIENCIA, 2010)
Brazilian Campos grasslands are rich in species and the maintenance of its diversity and physiognomy is dependent on disturbance (e.g. fire and grazing) Nevertheless, studies about fire intensity and severity are inexistent. ...
The effect of simulated heat-shock and daily temperature fluctuations on seed germination of four species from fire-prone ecosystems
(Soc Botanica Brasil, 2016-07-01)
Seed germination in many species from fire-prone ecosystems may be triggered by heat shock and/or temperature fluctuation, and how species respond to such fire-related cues is important to understand post-fire regeneration ...
Fire temperature effects on perennial grasses from northwestern Patagonian grasslands
(Springer Tokyo, 2015-01)
Post-fire recovery of perennial plants depends on their capacity to regrow from surviving meristems. Plants are adapted to a particular fire regime, which can be altered by human activities and climatic change. Therefore, ...
Growth and reproductive post-fire responses of two shrubs in semiarid Patagonian grasslands
(Csiro Publishing, 2015-05)
Variation in fire intensity affects the post-fire survival and growth of shrubs. We examined effects of maximum fire temperature (a proxy for fire intensity) on the survival, growth and reproductive performance of the ...
Probability of surface fire spread in Brazilian rainforest fuels from outdoor experimental measurements
(2017-04-01)
This paper describes the development of a logistic model to predict the probability of surface fire spread in Brazilian rainforest fuels from outdoor experimental measurements. Surface fires spread over litter composed ...
Local data fusion algorithm for fire detection through mobile robot
(2013-09-02)
Multisensor data fusion is a technique that combines the readings of multiple sensors to detect some phenomenon. Data fusion applications are numerous and they can be used in smart buildings, environment monitoring, industry ...
