Study on the Limit of Moisture Content of the Sub-Surface Fires Converted to the Surface Fires in the Boreal Forests of China

Fire, 2023
A sub-surface forest fire is a type of smoldering combustion with a slower spread rate, longer combustion time, and lower combustion temperature compared with flame combustion.

ICESat/GLAS Data as a Measurement Tool for Peatland Topography and Peat Swamp Forest Biomass in Kalimantan, Indonesia [PDF]

, 2011
Indonesian peatlands are one of the largest near-surface pools of terrestrial organic carbon. Persistent logging, drainage and recurrent fires lead to huge emission of carbon each year.

Eruptive Behaviour of Forest Fires

, 2010
A critical review of the mechanisms that are described in the literature to explain the onset and development of eruption or blow up in forest fires is presented, given their great relevance for fire safety, particularly in canyons. The various processes

Planning Wildfire Evacuation in the Wildland–Urban Interfaces of Central Portugal

Fire
In recent decades, wildfires have become common disasters that threaten people’s lives and assets, particularly in wildland–urban interfaces (WUIs). Developing an effective evacuation strategy for a WUI presents challenges to emergency planners because ...

Crisis in Indonesia: Forests, fires and finances

, 2001
The jewel in the East Asian "economic miracle" of the 1980s and 1990s came crashing to earth during late 1997 with a collapse of the currency and disintegration of the banking system. By mid-1998 Suharto was forced out of office by a tidal wave of street

Effects of forest fires on mercury biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems [PDF]

, 2020
Mercury (Hg), a persistent and toxic element, is largely stored in forests including forest canopy and surface soils. Therefore, forest disturbances such as wildfires (natural) and prescribed fires (anthropogenic, forest management practice) would ...

Mechanoluminescent HOF Nanotransducers Enabled Sono‐Optogenetics in Parkinsonian Rats

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We present a mechanoluminescent system utilizing porous hydrogen‐bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) as a toolkit for focused ultrasound‐triggered, non‐invasive light delivery to the deep brain in rats. This approach enables the specific activation of PV‐GPe neurons in dopamine‐depleted Parkinson's disease rat models, resulting in a comparable alleviation

Spatio-Temporal Characteristics of Ice–Snow Freezing and Its Impact on Subtropical Forest Fires in China

Remote Sensing, 2023
Ice–snow freezing may disrupt the growth condition and structure of forest vegetation, increasing combustible loads and thus triggering forest fires. China’s subtropical regions are rich in forest resources, but are often disturbed by ice–snow freezing ...
