Optimizing the implementation of a forest fuel break network [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2023 Methods and models to design, prioritize and evaluate fuel break networks have potential application in many fire-prone ecosystems where major increases in fuel management investments are planned in response to growing incidence of wildfires. A key question facing managers is how to scale treatments into manageable project areas that meet operational ...

Mapping Homogeneous Response Areas for Forest Fuel Management Using Geospatial Data, K-Means, and Random Forest Classification [PDF]
Forests, 2022 Accurate description of forest fuels is necessary for developing appropriate fire management strategies aimed at reducing fire risk. Although field surveys provide accurate measurements of forest fuel load estimations, they are time consuming, expensive,

Forest Fuel Drying, Pyrolysis and Ignition Processes during Forest Fire: A Review
Processes, 2022 Forest ecosystems perform several functions that are necessary for maintaining the integrity of the planet’s ecosystem. Forest fires are thus a significant danger to all living things. Forest fire fighting is a foreground task for modern society.

Trends in forest fuel accumulation in pine forests of Kyiv Polissya in Ukraine
, 2021 At present, forest fire research is becoming especially relevant in Ukraine. This study examines patterns of forest fuel accumulation in pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands that grow in different soil conditions with different pine stand structure.

Fuel loads and fuel structure in Austrian coniferous forests
International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2022 Understanding fires in temperate European coniferous forests is hindered by a lack of reliable field observations on fuel load and structure. Fuel load influences the spread, intensity and spotting distance of a surface fire, torching likelihood and potential carbon emissions.
