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

Towards a study of fire occurrences in Indonesia

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020
Abstract In the past 5 years, the issue of forest and peatland fires in Indonesia has received a major concern from various parties. As one of the prevention efforts, the Government of Indonesia seeks to prevent the ignition of forest and peatland fires both anthropogenic and naturally as a result of prolonged drought.
