Fireproof suspended ceilings with high fire resistance limits

open access: yesИнженерно-строительный журнал, 2018
Suspended ceiling is an effective way to fire protection of horizontal structures with steel beams due to its lightness, reliability and functionality. Three designs of fireproof suspended ceiling with silicate plates on cement binder are considered.

Fire-regime variability impacts forest carbon dynamics for centuries to millennia [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2017
Wildfire is a dominant disturbance agent in forest ecosystems, shaping important biogeochemical processes including net carbon (C) balance. Long-term monitoring and chronosequence studies highlight a resilience of biogeochemical properties to large ...

Remote Sensing Applied to the Study of Fire Regime Attributes and Their Influence on Post-Fire Greenness Recovery in Pine Ecosystems

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
We aimed to analyze the relationship between fire regime attributes and the post-fire greenness recovery of fire-prone pine ecosystems over the short (2-year) and medium (5-year) term after a large wildfire, using both a single and a combined fire regime

Have Historical Land Use/Land Cover Changes Triggered a Fire Regime Shift in Central Spain?

open access: yesFire, 2019
Fire is one of the main disturbance factors shaping the landscape, and landscape is a key driver of fire behavior. Considering the role played by land use and land cover (LULC) changes as the main driver of landscape dynamics, the aim of this study was ...

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.

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

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.

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

A global wildfire dataset for the analysis of fire regimes and fire behaviour [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Data, 2019
Abstract Global fire monitoring systems are crucial to study fire behaviour, fire regimes and their impact at the global scale. Although global fire products based on the use of Earth Observation satellites exist, most remote sensing products only partially cover the requirements for these analyses.
