The dynamics and drivers of fuel and fire in the Portuguese public forest [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Management, 2014
The assumption that increased wildfire incidence in the Mediterranean Basin during the last decades is an outcome of changes in land use warrants an objective analysis. In this study we examine how annual area burned (BA) in the Portuguese public forest varied in relation to environmental and human-influenced drivers during the 1943-2011 period.

Modeling the Landscape Drivers of Fire Recurrence in Sardinia (Italy)

Environmental Management, 2014
Although recurrent fire events with very short return periods have the most dangerous effects on landscape degradation, only a few papers have explored the landscape ecological factors that drive the probability of fire recurrence. In this paper we apply a habitat suitability model for analyzing the spatial relationship between a selected set of ...

Synoptic-scale drivers of fire weather in Greece

Science of The Total Environment
The identification of the large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns which are associated with extreme fire weather is of great importance for developing early warning systems, management strategies, and for increasing awareness and preparedness of all the involved entities, including both the public and practitioners.

Drivers of biomass co-firing in U.S. coal-fired power plants

Biomass and Bioenergy, 2013
Abstract Substantial knowledge has been generated in the U.S. about the resource base for forest- and other residue-derived biomass for bioenergy including co-firing in power plants. However, a lack of understanding regarding power plant-level operations and manager perceptions of drivers of biomass co-firing remains.

Biophysical drivers of fire regimes in Central Portugal

2022
The concept of fire regime is crucial for understanding how wildfires and their effects vary across space and time. We differentiate fire regimes within a regional-sized study area in central Portugal, and then investigate the degree to which their differences are influenced by a set of biophysical drivers. Using civil parishes as units of analysis, we

Understanding drivers of fire risk with people experiencing homelessness

Burns
Fire hazards affecting people who are unhoused span natural and built environments, social circumstances, and human behavior. Identifying key drivers of fire risk and burn injury can inform injury prevention and control initiatives. We conducted 12 key informant interviews with burn patients who were unhoused.

What are the drivers of dangerous fires in Mediterranean France?

International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2018
Wildfire containment is often very challenging for firefighters, especially for large and rapidly spreading fires where the risk of firefighter entrapment is high. However, the conditions leading to these ‘dangerous’ fires are poorly understood in Mediterranean Europe.

Causal Analysis of Fire Regime Drivers in California

International Journal of Wildland Fire
Background.Understanding the relative contribution of climate and human factors on wildfires is critical for managing risk across California’s diverse ecosystems. Aims. We propose a model that distinguishes between proximal and ultimate drivers of fire regimes and apply it to a century of fire and climate data to assess regional variation in causal ...
