How climate change and fire exclusion drive wildfire regimes at actionable scales

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2021
Extreme wildfires are increasing in frequency globally, prompting new efforts to mitigate risk. The ecological appropriateness of risk mitigation strategies, however, depends on what factors are driving these increases. While regional syntheses attribute

Numerical and Experimental Analysis of Fire Resistance for Steel Structures of Ships and Offshore Platforms

open access: yesFire, 2022
The requirements for the fire resistance of steel structures of oil and gas facilities for transportation and production of hydrocarbons are considered (structures of tankers and offshore platforms).

Fire severity as a key determinant of aboveground and belowground biological community recovery in managed even‐aged boreal forests

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Changes in fire regime of boreal forests in response to climate warming are expected to impact postfire recovery. However, quantitative data on how managed forests sustain and recover from recent fire disturbance are limited.

Understanding fire regimes in Europe

open access: yesInternational Journal of Wildland Fire, 2021
Wildland fire effects are strongly associated with fire regime characteristics. Here, we developed the first European pyrogeography based on different fire regime components to better understand fire regimes across the continent. We identified four large-scale pyroregions: a non-fire-prone (NFP) pyroregion featuring nominal fire activity across central

Spatial variability of historical fires across a red pine–oak landscape, Pennsylvania, USA

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
Long‐term, ecosystem‐specific fire regime information improves natural community restoration and management by providing a basis for scientifically reasoned fire management prescriptions.

Landscape-based fire scenarios and fire types in the Ayllón massif (Central Mountain Range, Spain), 19th and 20th centuries

open access: yesCuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2020
Wildfires have been a major landscape disturbance factor throughout history in inland mountain areas of Spain. This paper aims to understand the interaction of fire regimes and landscape dynamics during the last two centuries within a socio-spatial ...

A Disrupted Historical Fire Regime in Central British Columbia

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
In the 2017 and 2018, 2.55 million hectares burned across British Columbia, Canada, including unanticipated large and high-severity fires in many dry forests.

Large fires, fire effects and the fire-regime concept

open access: yesInternational Journal of Wildland Fire, 2008
‘Large’ fires may be declared so because of their absolute or relative area. Huge fires – with areas of more than 106 ha (104 km2) have occurred across a wide spectrum of Australian environments and are known on other continents. Such large fires are rare whereas fires with much smaller areas are common.

Global scale coupling of pyromes and fire regimes

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2023
Different interpretations of the fire regime concept have limited the capacity to allocate specific fire regimes worldwide. To solve this limitation, in this study, we present a framework to frame contemporary fire regimes spatially on a global scale. We

Fire Protection of Steel Structures of Oil and Gas Facilities: Multilayer, Removable, Non-Combustible Covers

open access: yesFire
Fire protection is required to protect metal structures of oil and gas facilities from fires. Such fire protection should provide high fire resistance limits: 60, 90, 120 and more minutes.
