Modelling the drivers of natural fire activity: the bias created by cropland fires [PDF]

International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2017
Wildland and cropland fires, which differ considerably in fire regime characteristics, have often been evaluated jointly to estimate regional or global fire regimes using satellite-based fire activity data. We hypothesised that excluding cropland fires will change the output of the models regarding the drivers of natural fire activity.

Microbial Community Responses to Alterations in Historical Fire Regimes in Montane Grasslands

Diversity, 2023
The influence of fire regimes on soil microbial diversity in montane grasslands is a relatively unexplored area of interest. Understanding the belowground diversity is a crucial stepping-stone toward unravelling community dynamics, nutrient sequestration,

Promoting Low-Risk Fire Regimes: An Agent-Based Model to Explore Wildfire Mitigation Policy Options

Fire, 2023
Landscape patterns and composition were identified as key drivers of fire risk and fire regimes. However, few studies have focused on effective policymaking aimed at encouraging landowners to diversify the landscape and make it more fire-resilient.

The interaction between temperature and rainfall determines the probability of tropical forest fire occurrence in Hainan Island

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Severe forest fires have erupted in numerous tropical regions globally, threatening carbon storage in tropical ecosystems, the survival of plant species, and human health.

Complex responses of birds to landscape‐level fire extent, fire severity and environmental drivers [PDF]

Diversity and Distributions, 2014
AbstractAimTo quantify bird responses to a large unplanned fire, taking into consideration landscape‐level fire severity and extent, pre‐fire site detection frequency and environmental gradients.LocationSouth‐easternAustralia.MethodsA major wildfire in 2009 coincided with a long‐term study of birds and provided a rare opportunity to quantify bird ...

The Drivers of Effectiveness of Prescribed Fire Treatment [PDF]

Forest Science, 2012
Prescribed burning for fuel reduction is a major strategy for reducing the risk from unplanned fire. Although there are theoretical studies suggesting that prescribed fire has a strong negative influence on the subsequent area of unplanned fire (so-called leverage), many empirical studies find a more modest influence.

The Proximal Drivers of Large Fires: A Pyrogeographic Study [PDF]

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Variations in global patterns of burning and fire regimes are relatively well measured, however, the degree of influence of the complex suite of biophysical and human drivers of fire remains controversial and incompletely understood. Such an understanding is required in order to support current fire management and to predict the future trajectory of ...

Deciphering transcriptional plasticity in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma reveals alterations in sensory neuron innervation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pancreatic sensory neurons innervating healthy and PDAC tissue were retrogradely labeled and profiled by single‐cell RNA sequencing. Tumor‐associated innervation showed a dominant neurofilament‐positive subtype, altered mitochondrial gene signatures, and reduced non‐peptidergic neurons.

HESFIRE: a global fire model to explore the role of anthropogenic and weather drivers [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2015
Vegetation fires are a major driver of ecosystem dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions. Anticipating potential changes in fire activity and their impacts relies first on a realistic model of fire activity (e.g., fire incidence and interannual variability)
