Simulating the forest fuel market as a socio‐ecological system with spatial agent‐based methods: A case study in Carinthia, Austria

open access: yesNatural Resource Modeling, 2020
The paper presents an agent‐based modeling and simulation approach to model the forest fuel supply chain for heating purposes (i.e., heating plants). The paper focuses on the simulation of the processes of timber harvesting by forest enterprises and the ...

Projected increases in western US forest fire despite growing fuel constraints

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2021
Escalating burned area in western US forests punctuated by the 2020 fire season has heightened the need to explore near-term macroscale forest-fire area trajectories.

Simulation of harvester productivity in selective and boom-corridor thinning of young forests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Forest management practices may change in the future, due to increases in the extraction of forest fuel in first thinnings. Simulation models can be used to aid in developing new harvesting systems.

Assessment of the Dual Polarimetric Sentinel-1A Data for Forest Fuel Moisture Content Estimation

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Fuel moisture content (FMC) is a crucial variable affecting fuel ignition and rate of fire spread. Much work so far has focused on the usage of remote sensing data from multiple sensors to derive FMC; however, little attention has been devoted to the ...

Prediction of Wildfire Fuel Load for Pinus densiflora Stands in South Korea Based on the Forest-Growth Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
A prediction model was developed for the wildfire fuel load of Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora) stands with susceptibility to forest fire based on the forest-growth model.

Prediction model of moisture content of dead fine fuel in forest plantations on Maoer Mountain, Northeast China

open access: yesJournal of Forest Research, 2021
Preventing and suppressing forest fires is one of the main tasks of forestry agencies to reduce resource loss and requires a thorough understanding of the importance of factors affecting their occurrence.

Longer-term impacts of fuel reduction treatments on forest structure, fuels, and drought resistance in the Lake Tahoe Basin

open access: yesForest Ecology and Management, 2021
Sierra Nevada mixed-conifer forests have undergone significant changes in structure and composition and are increasingly vulnerable to altered disturbance regimes and climate-related extreme events.

Skidders Fuel Consumption in Two Different Working Regions and Types of Forest Management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
For the needs of fuel consumption analysis, a database for a period of 2 years was created for three types of skidders operating in two different management methods—even-aged and selective forests.

Forests fuel fish growth in freshwater deltas [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2014
Aquatic ecosystems are fuelled by biogeochemical inputs from surrounding lands and within-lake primary production. Disturbances that change these inputs may affect how aquatic ecosystems function and deliver services vital to humans. Here we test, using a forest cover gradient across eight separate catchments, whether disturbances that remove ...

Eruptive Behaviour of Forest Fires [PDF]

open access: yes, 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
