Integrated forest fire management in tropical peat swamp forest:

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2019
Tropical Peat swamp forests are one of tropical wetland ecosystems that has dynamic link between land and water and also transition zone where the water flow, the nutrients cycling and the solar energy combine together to create an irreplaceable environment of hydrology, soils and vegetation.

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Non‐stationary forest responses to hotter droughts: a temporal perspective considering the role of past legacies

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global change is altering forests worldwide, with multiple consequences for ecosystem functioning. Temporal changes in climate, and extreme, compounded weather events like hotter droughts are affecting the demography, composition and function of forests, leading to a highly uncertain future.

Long unobserved and recently discovered: towards a better understanding of protected‐area species dynamics using curated species lists

Ecography, EarlyView.
Protected areas are designed to shield populations from harmful human impacts. However, in the face of global climate change, a static approach to conservation within these areas is neither feasible nor desirable. One key measure of ecological change at this scale is the arrival of new species and the local extinction of others. Despite strong interest

Emissions Reductions and Economic Feasibility of China's Solar Thermal Power Industry After the Introduction of Chinese Certified Emission Reduction Policy

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To promote the development of renewable energy, China re‐implemented the Chinese Certified Emission Reduction (CCER) policy in 2023. This study explores certificated CO2 and air pollutants (i.e., NOx, SO2 and particulate matter (PM)) emissions reductions from China's solar thermal power (STP) industry at national scale and conducts the ...

Occurrence, probable causes, and management of forest wildfires in the Northern Highlands of Pakistan

Environmental Challenges
Pakistan is forest-deficient and cannot afford forest losses associated with large-scale wildfire destruction. The Northern Mountainous Range (NMR) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province has substantial forest cover, yet complex human-environment interactions ...

AI‐Driven Optimization of a Hybrid PV–Wind–BESS Microgrid for a Rural Educational Institution in Developing Countries

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
An AI‐driven CNN–LSTM forecasting framework is integrated with HOMER Pro to optimally design a grid‐connected PV–wind–BESS microgrid for a rural school in Bangladesh, achieving 91.7% renewable penetration, low energy cost (0.0397 USD/kWh), and an 81.5% reduction in CO2 emissions. ABSTRACT Hybrid renewable microgrid planning in HOMER Pro often relies on

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

Drivers of forest fires under fire management policies: A comparison of machine learning models based on multi-temporal MODIS fire data

Ecological Informatics
Forest fires across China are influenced by various factors due to the different forest fire management policies. This study utilized MODIS fire point data (2001−2020) from Guizhou Province.
