Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Climate change is expected to increase fire risk in many forested regions, posing a potential threat to forest functioning (i.e. carbon pools and fluxes). At the same time, expansion of the wildland-urban interface threatens to bring more and more people,

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Quantifying carbon and species dynamics under different fire regimes in a southeastern U.S. pineland
Ecosphere, 2019 Forests have a prominent role in carbon sequestration and storage. Climate change and anthropogenic forcing have altered the dominant characteristics of some forested ecosystems through changes to their disturbance regimes, particularly fire.

Effects of Prescribed Fire on Mammoth Cave National Park’s Oak-Hickory Vegetation [PDF]
, 2013 Mammoth Cave National Park contains a spectacular suite of plant communities; many of which are dependent on wildland fire as a disturbance process for their preservation. Over a third of the park is dominated by oak-hickory forests and woodlands.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As firms increasingly incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns into their strategic agendas, stakeholder legitimacy—an audience‐conferred judgment of organizational appropriateness—has become pivotal. We theorize legitimacy as expanding a hybrid response portfolio in which firms may pursue substantive change (business ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being touted to assist organizations, AI integration for sustainability efforts has been limited AND sporadic and tends to follow an ad hoc strategy. The existing literature therein focuses on the technological capabilities of AI, overlooking how organizations make sense of and ...

The relationship between well-being and wildfire [PDF]
, 2006 In this study, the well-being evaluation method, a technique for measuring individual utility, was used to study how people in the wildland urban interface of Colorado (USA) felt about their lives before and after two hypothetical wildfire scenarios ...
