Fuel reduction treatments reduce modeled fire intensity in the sagebrush steppe
Ecosphere, 2022 Increased fire size and frequency coupled with annual grass invasion pose major challenges to sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystem conservation, which is currently focused on protecting sagebrush community composition and structure. A common strategy for

Characterization of Firebrands Released From Different Burning Tree Species
Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2021 The number, dimensions, and initial velocity of the firebrands released from burning Quercus suber, Eucalyptus globulus, Quercus robur, and Pinus pinaster trees were analyzed in laboratory experiments using a particle image velocimetry system ...

Delayed fire mortality has long‐term ecological effects across the Southern Appalachian landscape
Ecosphere, 2022 Fire is a critical ecological process to the forests of the Southern Appalachians. Where fire was excluded from forest types that historically burned frequently, unanticipated changes can occur when fire is reintroduced.

A Forest Fire Susceptibility Modeling Approach Based on Light Gradient Boosting Machine Algorithm
Remote Sensing, 2022 A forest fire susceptibility map generated with the fire susceptibility model is the basis of fire prevention resource allocation. A more reliable susceptibility map helps improve the effectiveness of resource allocation.

Firing patterns in the adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire model [PDF]
Biological Cybernetics, 2008 For simulations of large spiking neuron networks, an accurate, simple and versatile single-neuron modeling framework is required. Here we explore the versatility of a simple two-equation model: the adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire neuron. We show that this model generates multiple firing patterns depending on the choice of parameter values, and ...

Neuron firing in driven nonlinear integrate-and-fire models [PDF]
Mathematical Biosciences, 2007 Statistical properties of neuron firing are studied in the framework of a nonlinear leaky integrate-and-fire model that is driven by a slow periodic subthreshold signal. The firing events are characterized by first passage time densities. The experimentally better accessible interspike interval density generally depends on the sojourn times in a ...
