Assessment of peatland burning in Scotland during 1985–2022 using Landsat imagery
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2023 In the Scottish uplands, prescribed burning of moorland vegetation is widely practised either to boost gamebird numbers for recreational shooting or to improve livestock grazing.

Bulk Burning Rate in Passive - Reactive Diffusion
, 1999 We consider a passive scalar that is advected by a prescribed mean zero divergence-free velocity field, diffuses, and reacts according to a KPP-type nonlinear reaction.

EXPLORATORY FIRECLIMATE SURVEYS ON PRESCRIBED BURNS [PDF]
Monthly Weather Review, 1960 Abstract In the summer of 1957, short-term weather surveys were made in four prescribed burn areas in the central Sierra Nevada foothills and in the central Coast Range in California The local fireclimate patterns were studied, a fire-weather forecast was adapted to the burn area for each fire, and attempts were made to note the effects of the fires on

Willingness-to-Pay for prescribed fire in the Colorado (USA) Wildland Urban Interface [PDF]
, 2006 During the summer of 2001, survey data were collected from Colorado residents living near public lands (i.e., the wildland urban interface). Data were collected by telephone after mailing respondents a survey.

Numerical Exploration of Thermal Shock Resistance in MgO–C Refractories
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A mesostructure‐resolved numerical framework is developed to evaluate the thermal shock resistance of MgO–C refractories. By modeling interface debonding under rapid temperature changes and introducing a modified thermal shock parameter that accounts for mesocracks, the study shows how graphite content and aggregate size influence thermal shock ...
