Do relationships between leaf traits and fire behaviour of leaf litter beds persist in time? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Wildland fires are a dominant disturbance on Earth. On the local scale, fire activity is also influenced by species-specific fire behaviour of leaf litter beds. Thus, researchers strive to identify plant functional traits governing fire behaviour.

Characterisation of the fire behaviour of wood: From pyrolysis to fire retardant mechanisms [PDF]
J Therm Anal Calorim, 2022 Wood is undeniably the most useful and readily available natural raw material. However, the susceptibility of wood products to fire is one of the crucial challenges faced in the wood industry.

Annals of Forest Science, 2022 Key message We used clustering to construct fuel classes from fuel inventory data based on three stand attributes relevant to crown fire behaviour: surface fuel load (SFL), canopy base height (CBH) and canopy bulk density (CBD).

Linking fire behaviour and its ecological effects to plant traits, using FRaME in R
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Floral fire ecology incorporates a feedback loop in which plants influence fire behaviour and fire behaviour influences the flora. Recent advances in fire behaviour modelling have quantified many plant‐based drivers of fire behaviour, but the consequent ...

A global wildfire dataset for the analysis of fire regimes and fire behaviour [PDF]
Sci Data, 2019 Global fire monitoring systems are crucial to study fire behaviour, fire regimes and their impact at the global scale. Although global fire products based on the use of Earth Observation satellites exist, most remote sensing products only partially cover

Fire Behaviour of Insulation Panels Commonly Used in High-Rise Buildings
Fire, 2022 The energy efficiency of buildings drives the replacement of traditional construction materials with lightweight insulating materials. However, energy-efficient but combustible insulation might contribute to the building’s fire load.

Fire behaviour of multiple fires in a mine drift with longitudinal ventilation
International Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2019 The fire behaviour involving multiple fires in a mine drift with longitudinal ventilation was analysed. The conditions and fire phenomena occurring were described. The analysis was based upon experimental data from model-scale fire experiments.

Changes to Cretaceous surface fire behaviour influenced the spread of the early angiosperms [PDF]
New Phytol, 2016 Angiosperms evolved and diversified during the Cretaceous period. Early angiosperms were short‐stature weedy plants thought to have increased fire frequency and mortality in gymnosperm forest, aiding their own expansion.

Tisova Fire Test – Fire behaviours and lessons learnt [PDF]
Fire Safety Journal, 2021 Abstract One of the largest unknowns in structural fire engineering design is the fire itself, particularly in large internal environments, where real fires have been observed to travel around the floor plate. Several methodologies have been proposed to characterise these fires, most of which rely on the separation of the fire exposure into two so ...
