Fire-history implications of fire scarring

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2013
Fire scars are widely used to reconstruct fire history, yet patterns of scarring are poorly understood, hampering effective sampling and analysis. Factors that influence the probability a tree will receive a scar (SP) and the fraction of trees that scar (SF) are little studied.

The method, developed for large areas, employs a few statistics computed from historical fire data, that were selected with the aim of depicting a ''fire history profile'' of each Basic ...

Fire Suppression Effectiveness for Simultaneous Fires: An Examination of Fire Histories

Western Journal of Applied Forestry, 1990
Abstract We examined fire and weather records for areas of the western United States for the period 1970-1984 to determine the effects of simultaneous wildfire occurrence on fire suppression efforts. Burning conditions were accounted for by use of short strings of fires which involved simultaneous suppression efforts.

Forest fire history of Poland

2022
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) covers around 60% of Poland's forests. Pine stands are considered as fire prone, which exposes a large area of forests to the risk of fire ignition and spread. This is confirmed by the statistics, among which Poland belongs to the group of European countries where forest fires occur most often.

Fire History and Fire Regimes Shifts in Patagonian Temperate Forests

2017
Fire has been a frequent disturbance in Patagonia. The presence of charcoal in sedimentary records covering the last 44,000 years suggests that natural fires played a significant role in shaping the landscape before the arrival of Native Americans ca. 14,500–12,500 years ago.
