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

Journal of Geophysical Research G: 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 ...

Human and biophysical influences on fire occurrence in the United States

Ecological Applications, 2013
National‐scale analyses of fire occurrence are needed to prioritize fire policy and management activities across the United States. However, the drivers of national‐scale patterns of fire occurrence are not well understood, and how the relative importance of human or biophysical factors varies across the country is unclear.

Wildland fire limits subsequent fire occurrence

International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2015
Several aspects of wildland fire are moderated by site- and landscape-level vegetation changes caused by previous fire, thereby creating a dynamic where one fire exerts a regulatory control on subsequent fire. For example, wildland fire has been shown to regulate the size and severity of subsequent fire.

Time since fire influences macropod occurrence in a fire‐prone coastal ecosystem

Austral Ecology, 2021
AbstractKnowledge of animal responses to fire is fundamental to wildlife management in fire‐prone ecosystems. Fire can influence the occurrence of large herbivores by altering the structure and composition of vegetation. However, how fire affects herbivore occurrence in many ecosystems is poorly understood.

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.

Human impacts on fire occurrence

2012
Forest fire regimes are sensitive to alterations of climate, fuel load, and ignition sources. We investigated the impact of human activities and climate on fire occurrence in a dry continental valley of the Swiss Alps (Valais) by relating fire occurrence to population and road density, biomass removal by livestock grazing and wood harvest, temperature ...

Fire occurrence and fire mitigation strategies in a grassland reforestation area in the Philippines

Forest Policy and Economics, 2016
Abstract While fire has been identified as a major factor negatively affecting success of reforestation projects in the Philippines, no study so far has been conducted on the types and extent of fire mitigation strategies being implemented by upland farmers.

Unraveling the complexities in fire regimes by modeling of fire occurrence and burned area

2023
Fire is an ancient phenomenon, with its presence on Earth dating back to the Silurian period. This long history of fire has caused ecosystems to co-evolve with fire, resulting in adaptations from individual species to the ecosystem level. However, human activities have begun to push fire activities around the world beyond natural regimes.

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.
