Differentiating Fire Regimes and Their Biophysical Drivers in Central Portugal
Fire, 2023 We characterize fire regimes in central Portugal and investigate the degree to which the differences between regimes are influenced by a set of biophysical drivers.

Drivers of Fire Anomalies in the Brazilian Amazon: Lessons Learned from the 2019 Fire Crisis [PDF]
Land, 2020 The 2019 fire crisis in Amazonia dominated global news and triggered fundamental questions about the possible causes behind it. Here we performed an in-depth investigation of the drivers of active fire anomalies in the Brazilian Amazon biome. We assessed

Fuel Drivers of Fire Behaviour in Coastal Mallee Shrublands
FireCoastal mallee shrubland wildfires present challenges for accurately predicting fire spread sustainability and rate of spread. In this study, we assess the fuel drivers contributing to coastal mallee shrubland fires.

Aperture judgement in fire-appliance drivers [PDF]
Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 2019 Low-speed collisions are a common occurrence for UK Fire and Rescue Services, with frequent bumps and scrapes adding up to create a significant drain on emergency service budgets, and damaging public faith in the service. We hypothesised that the decision to drive through a gap, or aperture, created by other vehicles and/or road furniture, may be ...

Fires and their key drivers in Mexico
International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2023 Background Despite the regional and global effects of biomass burning at national and pantropical scales, little effort has focused on determining the influence of climate and socioeconomic conditions on fire regimes in tropical regions. Aims

Drivers of collapse of fire‐killed trees
Austral Ecology, 2022 AbstractLarge quantities of dead wood can be generated by disturbances such as wildfires. Dead trees created by disturbances play many critical ecological roles in forest ecosystems globally. The ability of deadwood to serve its ecological roles is contingent, in part, on the length of time trees remain standing following disturbance.

Climate drivers of the 2017 devastating fires in Portugal [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractA record 500,000 hectares burned in Portugal during the extreme wildfire season of 2017, with more than 120 human lives lost. Here we analyse the climatic factors responsible for the burned area (BA) from June to October series in Portugal for the period 1980–2017. Superposed onto a substantially stationary trend on BA data, strong oscillations

Predicting Grassland Fire-Occurrence Probability in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China
Remote Sensing, 2023 Fires greatly threaten the grassland ecosystem, human life, and economic development. However, since limited research focuses on grassland fire prediction, it is necessary to find a better method to predict the probability of grassland-fire occurrence ...

Drivers of persistent post-fire recruitment in European beech forests [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2020 Climate change is expected to alter disturbance regimes including fires in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests. Regarding the resilience of beech forests to fire it is questionable whether seeds of this non-serotinous obligate masting seeder find advantageous conditions in a post-fire environment. The probability of recruitment success has been

Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Wildfire danger is often ascribed to increased temperature, decreased humidity, drier fuels, or higher wind speed. However, the concurrence of drivers—defined as climate, meteorological and biophysical factors that enable fire growth—is rarely tested for
