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 ...

Fire Dynamics of the Bolivian Amazon
Land, 2022 This study identifies the spatial and temporal trends, as well as the drivers, of fire dynamics in the Bolivian Amazon basin. Bolivia ranks in the top ten countries in terms of total annual burnt, with fires affecting an estimated 2.3 million hectares of

Fire as a key driver of Earth's biodiversity
Biological Reviews, 2019 ABSTRACTMany terrestrial ecosystems are fire prone, such that their composition and structure are largely due to their fire regime. Regions subject to regular fire have exceptionally high levels of species richness and endemism, and fire has been proposed as a major driver of their diversity, within the context of climate, resource availability and ...

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 ...

On the key role of droughts in the dynamics of summer fires in Mediterranean Europe [PDF]
, 2017 Summer fires frequently rage across Mediterranean Europe, often intensified by high temperatures and droughts. According to the state-of-the-art regional fire risk projections, in forthcoming decades climate effects are expected to become stronger and ...

Devegetation is a widespread driver of fire in the Brazilian Cerrado [PDF]
Journal of Environmental ManagementThe Cerrado is the largest tropical savanna in the world, featuring a wide range of vegetation types with different sensitivity to fire. The structure, functioning and rich biodiversity of the non-forest formations is intimately associated with the presence of fire, which historically has acted both as a natural disturbance and as a tool used by ...

Short-Term Belowground Responses to Thinning and Burning Treatments in Southwestern Ponderosa Pine Forests of the USA [PDF]
, 2016 Microbial-mediated decomposition and nutrient mineralization are major drivers of forest productivity. As landscape-scale fuel reduction treatments are being implemented throughout the fire-prone western United States of America, it is important to ...
