Risk management of forest fire occurrence

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
Abstract This academic paper is devoted to the issue of how to reduce forest fire damage through affecting the fire causes. Forest fire causes are a subject of random probability. Adequate forest management is not possible when there is lack of precise information about when and where a forest fire may occur.

Mid‐21st‐century climate changes increase predicted fire occurrence and fire season length, Northern Rocky Mountains, United States

Ecosphere, 2016
Climate changes are expected to increase fire frequency, fire season length, and cumulative area burned in the western United States. We focus on the potential impact of mid‐21st‐century climate changes on annual burn probability, fire season length, and
