Characterisation of Hedge Burning in the Context of Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Fire Prevention
ABSTRACT With global warming, the wildfire season tends to get longer, causing fatalities and devastating damage to human property. Although many countries have implemented fire risk prevention measures, particularly in Wildland Urban Interfaces (WUI), this finding shows that there are weaknesses in the prevention measures. This is mainly due to a lack

Influence of bait and habitat on site visitation by wild pigs (Sus scrofa)
Bait, a food item, is important for attracting wild pigs to a site for management and considering habitat, including distance to water and understory, increases likelihood of wild pig visitation. Abstract BACKGROUND Wild pigs (Sus scrofa), known for their impacts on ecosystems in both their native and invasive ranges, are commonly managed using lethal ...

ABSTRACT Wind energy is the most mature renewable energy technology; however, its exploitation in cities is often met with skepticism. Thanks to their ability to operate at low wind speed regardless of direction, vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) offer an attractive opportunity for wind energy harvesting in cities. However, limited evidence exists on

Abstract Wildfires impact water quality by altering nutrient supply and hydrology with changes often perceptible during the first major storm events. However, many factors influence water quality, including wildfire characteristics, weather patterns, and watershed properties.

On the Surface Roughness Effects on −1 ${-}1$ Spectral Scaling in Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Abstract Using field data from a coastal site, we explored the turbulence spectra of boundary layer flows over land and sea, focusing on the occurrence and characteristics of the −1 ${-}1$ spectral scaling in the energy production region. Results reveal that the interaction of the flow with surface roughness is a critical factor influencing the extent ...
