The fossil fuels behind forest fires
2023Climate change is contributing to increases in the size, severity, and cost of wildfires across western North America, and communities, policymakers, and legal experts are asking who bears responsibility. Research led by the Union of Concerned Scientists finds that nearly 19.8 million acres of forest area burned by wildfires across western North ...

Seeing the forest for the fuel
Environment and Development Economics, 2004We demonstrate a new approach to understanding the role of fuelwood in the rural household economy by applying insights from travel cost modeling to author-compiled household survey data and meso-scale environmental statistics from Ruteng Park in Flores, Indonesia.

Forest fuels management in Europe
2006Current fuel management practices vary considerably between European countries. Topography, forest and forest fuel characteristics, size and compartmentalization of forest, forest management practices, land uses, land ownership, size of properties, legislation, and, of course, tradition, are reasons for these differences.

Piloted ignition of live forest fuels
Fire Safety Journal, 2012Abstract The most unpredictable and uncontrollable wildfires are those that burn in the crowns of live vegetation. The fuels that feed these crown fires are mostly live, green foliage. Unfortunately, little is known about how live fuels combust. To understand how live fuels burn, piloted ignition experiments were performed with lodgepole pine and ...

Fuel Forest versus Strip-Mining: Fuel Production Alternatives
Journal of Forestry, 1975Abstract Recent discussions of the potential of wood for producing energy have not been specific enough to warrant the generally too optimistic or pessimistic outlook. Fuel production alternatives must be examined case by case and must include all relevant costs and benefits.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry of Forest Fuels
Forest Science, 1982Abstract Previous investigations for developing fire spread models in wildland forest fuels have not adequately assessed the heat-sink characteristics of the different fuels. This research uses differential scanning calorimetry to determine the total heat required to change the temperature of a sample of forest fuel from 25° to 500°C ...
