The 2000 Fire Season: Lightning-Caused Fires

Journal of Applied Meteorology, 2002
Abstract A large number of lightning-caused fires burned across the western United States during the summer of 2000. In a previous study, the authors determined that a simple index of low-level moisture (85-kPa dewpoint depression) and instability (85–50-kPa temperature difference) from the Spokane, Washington, upper-air soundings was very useful for ...

Fire Return Interval and Season of Fire Alter Bud Banks

Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2019
Abstract Despite the importance of vegetative reproduction in annual tiller replacement, little is known about the patterns and timing of tiller recruitment from the bud bank, especially regarding fire return intervals and seasons of fire. We examined aboveground plant density, temporal patterns of tiller production, and belowground bud bank dynamics

Seasonal fire danger forecasts for the USA

International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2005
The Scripps Experimental Climate Prediction Center has been making experimental, near-real-time, weekly to seasonal fire danger forecasts for the past 5 years. US fire danger forecasts and validations are based on standard indices from the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS), which include the ignition component (IC), energy release component ...

Seasonal skew of tropical savanna fires

2023
Tropical savannas and grasslands are the most frequently burned biome in the world, and fire constitutes an important part of the ecosystem. In this ecosystem it can have both rejuvenating and destructive effects, depending on several factors including fuel conditions, weather conditions, and time of year.

Delayed emergence and post-fire recruitment success: effects of seasonal germination, fire season and dormancy type

Australian Journal of Botany, 2010
Delayed seedling emergence can negatively affect plant recruitment. Recent work has shown that some species with innate seasonal requirements for germination can have seedling emergence delayed, depending on the season of fire. The impact of this delay, which is in relation to both resprouters and seedlings of species that emerge independent of season,

Extreme fire seasons in the forests of Evenkia

Polar Geography, 1995
Abstract A specialist on the fire hazard in larch forest in permafrost areas of the Evenki Autonomous Okrug of East Siberia's Krasnoyarsk Kray examines the conditions leading to extreme fire outbreaks in the okrug, the periodicity of such extreme seasons, and the frequency and spatial distribution of blazes that result.
