Global relationship of fire occurrence and fire intensity: A test of intermediate fire occurrence‐intensity hypothesis

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2017
AbstractFire plays a significant role in global atmosphere and biosphere carbon and nutrient cycles. Globally, there are substantially different distributions and impacts between fire occurrence and fire intensity. It is prominent to have a thorough investigation of global relationship between fire occurrence and fire intensity for future fire ...

Global distribution, trends and types of active fire occurrences

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Fire occurrence is synonymous to terrestrial ecosystems and an important component of the Earth system. Climate change, vegetation characteristics, and human activity regulate fire occurrence and spread, however, fires also interact with them in multiple ways.

Peat Fire Occurrence

2016
In this chapter, various peat combustion properties, temporal and spatial peat fire occurrence in Kalimantan, and the peat fire index (PFI) for the early warning of peat fire were discussed. Firstly, tropical peat was sampled from Mega Rice Project (MRP) area in Central Kalimantan and analyzed in the laboratory.

Forest fire risk assessment using point process modelling of fire occurrence and Monte Carlo fire simulation

International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2017
Risk assessment of forest fires requires an integrated estimation of fire occurrence probability and burn probability because fire spread is largely influenced by ignition locations as well as fuels, weather, topography and other environmental factors. This study aims to assess forest fire risk over a large forested landscape using both fire occurrence

Influence of short-interval fire occurrence on post-fire recovery of fire-prone shrublands in California, USA

International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2012
In recent decades, fire frequency has increased with population growth at the wildland–urban interface in southern California, USA. Short intervals (<5 years) between successive fires can be detrimental to plant species that require longer intervals between fires to reach reproductive maturity.

A lightning fire occurrence model for Ontario

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2005
Lightning strike, fire weather, and fire occurrence data were used to model (i) the probability that a lightning strike causes a sustainable ignition on the forest floor and (ii) the probability of an ignition being detected and reported to the fire management agency for each ecoregion in the province of Ontario.

Predictive modelling of fire occurrences from different fire spread patterns in Mediterranean landscapes

International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2015
Fire regimes are shifting worldwide because of global changes. The relative contribution of climate, topography and vegetation greatly determines spatial and temporal variations in fire regimes, but the interplay of these factors is not yet well understood.

The scientific investigation of occurrences of fire

Fire Safety Journal, 1981
Abstract Investigations of fire occurrences are undertaken in various circumstances and for various purposes, which are exemplified. Where the sole object is to ascertain the cause of the fire, the investigation is best undertaken in the manner of a scientific research project.

Association Between Fire Causative Agents Within Land Cover Types and Global Fire Occurrence

2012
The association between the global average fire density (AFD) and some possible causative agents—lightning discharges and population density—was analyzed using the Spearman correlation rank coefficient. The analysis was performed for different global fuel types, which were defined according to land cover types and climate.

A comparison of the US National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) with recorded fire occurrence and final fire size

International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2018
Most previous research has assessed the ability of the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) to portray fire activity at either single sites or on small spatial scales, despite it being a nation-wide system. This study seeks to examine the relationships between a set of NFDRS fire danger indices (Fire Danger Ratings, Staffing Level and the ...
