Short-Term Belowground Responses to Thinning and Burning Treatments in Southwestern Ponderosa Pine Forests of the USA [PDF]
, 2016 Microbial-mediated decomposition and nutrient mineralization are major drivers of forest productivity. As landscape-scale fuel reduction treatments are being implemented throughout the fire-prone western United States of America, it is important to ...

Effects of Wildland Fuel Composition on Fire Intensity
Fire, 2023 Assessing the characteristics of fuel flammability during fire is of major significance regarding fire intensity and fire spread control. Under the background of shifting forest composition from heliophytic to mesophytic species in mixed-oak forests, our

Predicting Forest Fire Danger Using Fuel Characteristics of Forest
Journal of the Korean Society of Hazard Mitigation, 2022 The fuel characteristics of a forest are important factors in designing a forest fire danger rating system and must be analyzed to understand forest fire behavior. Therefore, in this study, forest fire intensity was predicted depending on the amount of fuel in the forests in the Yeongdong and Yeongseo regions of Gangwon-do from November 2020 to ...

The volume and composition of dead wood on traditional and forest fuel harvested clear-cuts
Silva Fennica, 2010 Logging residue and cut stumps are increasingly used as a renewable energy source known as forest fuel. Forest fuel harvesting obviously reduces the volume of dead wood and is likely to alter the dead wood composition, but the magnitude of the change ...

Forests fuel fish growth in freshwater deltas [PDF]
Nature 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 ...

Modeling Forest Fire Behaviour in Controlled and Accidental Ignitions in Iranian Northern Zagros Forests, with an Emphasis on Fuel Load [PDF]
بومشناسی جنگلهای ایران, 2023 Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: The behavior, spread, and intensity of forest fires are heavily influenced by the type and volume of fuels in a natural region, as well as topography and climate.

Reducing wildland fire hazard exploiting complex network theory. A case study analysis [PDF]
, 2016 We discuss a new systematic methodology to mitigate wildland fire hazard by appropriately distributing fuel breaks in space. In particular, motivated by the concept of information flow in complex networks we create a hierarchical allocation of the ...

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 California’s cap-and-trade compliance offset market incentivizes forest managers to maintain elevated carbon stocks. It provides these incentives without enforcing standardized fire mitigation practices despite many projects being located in fire prone ...

Effects of fuel treatments on California mixed-conifer forests
California Agriculture, 2015 Land managers implement forest fuel reduction treatments, including prescribed fire, mastication, and hand- and mechanical thinning, to modify wildfire behavior.
