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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
