Evaluation of the potential feedstock for biojet fuel production: Focus in the Brazilian context
(2022-01-01)
The Brazilian aviation sector aiming to reduce its greenhouse emissions up to 37% by 2030 and up to 43% by 2050 (compared to 2005) using alternative fuels. For this reason, the evaluation of potential feedstock was made ...
Spontaneous ignition of wildland fuel by idealized firebrands
(Elsevier, 2018)
The spontaneous ignition of a forest fuel layer by idealized firebrands was carried out experimentally in a bench scale apparatus designed to understand the relationship between the time to ignition and incident radiative ...
Fire frequency effects on fuel loadings in pine-oak forests of the Madrean Province
Loadings of downed woody fuels in pine-oak forests of the Madrean Province are heavier on sites in southeastern Arizona with low fire frequencies and lower on sites in northeastern Sonora, Mexico, with high fire frequencies. ...
Estimating canopy fuel load with hemispherical photographs: A rapid method for opportunistic fuel documentation with smartphones
(British Ecological Society, 2021-08)
Canopy fuel load (CFL) affects wildfire intensity and is a critical input for fire behaviour models; however, measuring CFL in the field is time-consuming and costly. Until recently, hemispherical photographs have been ...
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 ...
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 ...
Atmospheric and fuel conditions related to the Puerto Madryn Fire of 21 January, 1994
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2001-09)
The atmospheric and fuel conditions that led to the case of extreme fire behaviour registered in Puerto Madryn in north-eastern Patagonia, Argentina, on 21 January 1994 were analysed in this study. The analyses included ...
Influence of fuel conditions on the occurrence, propagation and duration of wildland fires: A regional approach
(2015-09)
Wildfires affect Earth's surface every year. Fuels conditions influence fire occurrence and behavior; therefore, their characterization is important for fire risk studies. We analyzed vegetation conditions influencing fires ...
