Thresholds of fire response to moisture and fuel load differ between tropical savannas and grasslands across continents
(2020-02-01)
Aim: An emerging framework for tropical ecosystems states that fire activity is either “fuel build-up limited” or “fuel moisture limited”, that is, as you move up along rainfall gradients, the major control on fire occurrence ...
Effects of wildland fuel moisture content on radiant heat flux emitted by a laminar non-premixed flame
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2020)
This work addresses the effect of wildland fuel moisture content on flame radiation. A wildland fuel layer composed of Pinus radiata needles was experimentally studied using a specially designed burner, which produced small ...
Fire danger index efficiency as a function of fuel moisture and fire behavior
(Science of The Total Environment, 2018)
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Establishment of empirical relations between fuel moisture content and the normalised difference vegetation index

Does season affect fire behaviour in the Cerrado?
(2017-01-01)
Fire has played an important role in the plant dynamics and diversity of the Cerrado for millions of years. We evaluated fire behaviour in different fire seasons in areas of an open savanna, providing information for fire ...
