New Zealand Seed Ecology in the Pyrocene: Testing Seed Responses to High Temperatures Under Laboratory Conditions

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 4, December 2026.
Fire has been an historically rare disturbance in New Zealand ecosystems that is becoming increasingly frequent. Most native plants lack fire‐related adaptations, contrasting with exotic species that evolved with frequent fire disturbance. We investigated seed responses to short‐duration heat exposure in five native and four exotic species to assess ...

Mcan-YOLO: An Improved Forest Fire and Smoke Detection Model Based on YOLOv7

Forest fires pose a significant threat to forest resources and wildlife. To balance accuracy and parameter efficiency in forest fire detection, this study proposes an improved model, Mcan-YOLO, based on YOLOv7. In the Neck section, the asymptotic feature

Pollution and Haunted Eco‐Histories: Silent Hill and Silent Horrors in Centralia, Pennsylvania

Popular Culture Review, Volume 37, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Centralia is a former mining town and borough in Northeastern Pennsylvania, whose population has been steadily declining since the Mine Fire of 1962—a fire that still burns today. The “horrors” of living in Centralia are reflected in horror media set in postindustrial mining towns like Silent Hill.

Health Management Planning for Landscape Fire Smoke Events: A Literature Review and Suggested Human‐Centred Framework for Resource Development

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 4, December 2026.
Landscape fire smoke (LFS) events are increasing with climate change, placing priority populations at greater risk of health harm. A literature review across Australia, Canada and the United States found only four LFS health plans, revealing a critical gap. We propose a design thinking framework to co‐design tailored LFS health action plans.

A New Forest Fire Detection Algorithm Based on Smoke / Fire

, 2015
In this paper, we represent an algorithm to detect fire and smoke by processing video sequences obtained from a stationary camera. We design this algorithm based on analyzing color information and motion of smoke and fire. Our algorithm includes two main

A Sequential Monte Carlo Method for Bayesian Poisson Process Trees

Stat, Volume 15, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Statistical analysis of spatial point patterns often needs to deal with heterogeneous structures in intensity function estimation with possibly high‐dimensional covariate space. Likelihood based inference for spatial point process models needs to address the challenges in evaluating the multidimensional integral of random intensity function ...

Science Needs for a Terrestrial Biosphere Tipping Point Early Warning System

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Tipping points in the Earth system have the potential to cause major detrimental impacts to the biosphere and societies. Their inherent nonlinearity implies that even relatively small additional increases in external forcing might result in disproportionately large adjustments to components of the Earth system.

Clean Cooking in the Global South: A Critical Synthesis of Causal Evidence and a Future Research Agenda

South African Journal of Economics, Volume 94, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper synthesizes causal evidence on the transition from traditional biomass to improved cookstoves and modern fuels like LPG and electricity. Although literature identifies liquidity, gender and information as primary barriers to adoption, uncertainty remains regarding usage intensity and technological persistence.
