Fuel-Specific Aggregation of Active Fire Detections for Rapid Mapping of Forest Fire Perimeters in Mexico [PDF]

, 2022
Context and Background. Active fires have the potential to provide early estimates of fire perimeters, but there is a lack of information about the best active fire aggregation distances and how they can vary between fuel types, particularly in large ...

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 ...

Movement of water drops in a forest fuel layer in the course of its thermal decomposition

, 2017
In this paper, we conducted an experimental investigation on water droplets gravitating in a layer of typical forest fuel (as illustrated by pine needle litter) in the course of its thermal decomposition.

On the interest of studying degradation gases for forest fuel combustion modeling [PDF]

, 2008
The aim of this work is to determine the influence of the degradation gases on the combustion of forest fuels and whether they have to be taken into account in numerical modeling.

On the wind advection influence on the fire spread across a fuel bed: modelling by a semi-physical approach and testing with experiments [PDF]

, 2001
This paper is devoted to the study of the advection effect on the fire spread across a fuel bed by means of a semi-physical model. This work is a step forward in our general process which consists in elaborating a simple model of fire spread to be used ...

METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO MAPPING FOREST FUELS

FOREST SCIENCE ISSUES, 2023
Spatial data on the vertical structure and forest fuel loads are a very importance for reliable estimates of direct fire carbon emissions. Main purpose of our paper is to demonstrate methodological approaches to mapping pre-fire forest fuels, which sets of multidimensional regression models and thematic satellite products of forest stand ...

Forest Ecology and Management [PDF]

, 2021
Active forest management operations, such as regeneration harvests, can reduce hazardous fuel loads and alter fuel structure, potentially minimizing extreme wildfire conditions while maintaining ecosystem services, such as wildlife habitat and water ...

Forest Ecology and Management [PDF]

, 2020
Globally, prescribed fire, harvesting, and understory mastication, alone and in combination, are common forest management practices. Timber commodities, wildlife habitat, wildfire fuel reduction, soil conservation, and water quality are frequently ...
