Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.

Disturbance Dynamics and Its Effects on Carbon in Human-Impacted Mountain Forests in Northwestern Yunnan, China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIdentifying and quantifying natural and anthropogenic disturbances at fine spatial scales is critical to assess the role of forests in climate change mitigation. Using tree rings, fire scars, satellite imagery, official records, and interviews, we reconstructed historical disturbances and identified fires, logging events, landslides, and icy ...

Risk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 297-320, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Urban marketplace fires in Ghana are chronic, devasting in economic losses and disproportionately impacting informal sector workers. Yet, the scholarly works on urban disasters have focused on hydrometeorological and other man‐made disasters to the neglect of marketplace fires, particularly the challenges in risk communication between ...

Emergency management and the final frontier: Preparing local communities for falling space debris
Risk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 247-266, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Global dependence on satellite technologies, along with expanding space exploration, and commercial space travel have made rocket launches routine modern‐day events. As a result, there is an increasing probability of civilian casualty from rocket launch anomalies, or from falling space debris already in orbit.

Modeling mammal response to fire based on species’ traits
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Fire has shaped ecological communities worldwide for millennia, but impacts of fire on individual species are often poorly understood. We performed a meta‐analysis to predict which traits, habitat, or study variables and fire characteristics affect how mammal species respond to fire.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 503-513, September 2025.Fire occurrence increased with proximity to roads and villages, indicating that human access and activity are major drivers of fire risk. We analyzed spatial patterns of fire in relation to human settlements. Our findings highlight the need for fire management strategies that consider accessibility and human presence in conservation planning.

European Policy Analysis, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 420-432, Summer 2025.ABSTRACT This article examines the fire and rescue services sector in Sweden in the period 1986–2021, and explains the timing of bureaucratic reforms using the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF). In this study, we insert institutions in MSF by employing a two‐level analysis; we highlight the interactions among experts acting as policy entrepreneurs over ...

Design and Implementation of Remote Monitoring System Based on WebGIS Platform [PDF]
, 2015 随着信息技术的不断发展，信息技术逐步加快消防系统的过程。据中国建设部2007年10月在我国城市消防系统联网工程“的城市消防远程监控系统技术规范颁布了”要逐步提上议事日程的有关规定，同时提高IT的推动作用的使用。因此，如何利用信息技术的发展成果，地理信息系统，视频监控系统为核心，以设计和实施消防远程监控系统是我国所有消防单位和市消防部门的工作特点和难点之一，是具有重要的挑战实用价值。 在本文中，WebGIS技术，综合运用网络技术和相关第三方的开源软件开发WebGIS技术，设计和实现了设置消防远程监控系统的。
