Fire management strategies to maintain species population processes in a fragmented landscape of fire-interval extremes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Changed fire regimes have led to declines of fire-regime- adapted species and loss of biodiversity globally. Fire affects population processes of growth, reproduction, and dispersal in different ways, but there is little guidance about the best fire ...

Interictal and seizure‐onset scalp electroencephalographic patterns in malformations of cortical development

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are a frequent cause of drug‐resistant epilepsy and a common indication for resective epilepsy surgery. As magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lacks sensitivity for subtle MCDs, supplemental diagnostic tools are needed.

Study on the changes of soil chemical characteristics as result of prescribed fire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Every year, particularly during the summer period, the Portuguese forests are devastated by forest fire that destroys their ecosystems. So in order to prevent these forest fires, public and private authorities frequently use methods for the reduction of ...

Prescribed fire and its impacts on ecosystem services in the UK.

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment, 2018
The impacts of vegetation fires on ecosystems are complex and varied affecting a range of important ecosystem services. Fire has the potential to affect the physicochemical and ecological status of water systems, alter several aspects of the carbon cycle

Evaluating Prescribed Fires

open access: yes, 1985
A preliminary method for classifying fire severity permits managers to predict fire effects with reasonable accuracy and thus assists them in prescription development. The classification described here consists of a two-dimensional matrix of flame length classes and depth of char classes.

Epilepsy syndromes classification

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy syndromes are distinct electroclinical entities which have been recently defined by the International League Against Epilepsy Nosology and Definitions Task Force. Each syndrome is associated with “a characteristic cluster of clinical and EEG features, often supported by specific etiologic findings”.

Prescribed fire placement matters more than increasing frequency and extent in a simulated Pacific Northwest landscape

open access: yesEcosphere
Prescribed fire has been increasingly promoted to reduce wildfire risk and restore fire‐adapted ecosystems. Yet, the complexities of forest ecosystem dynamics in response to disturbances, climate change, and drought stress, combined with myriad social ...

ECONOMICALLY OPTIMAL WILDFIRE INTERVENTION REGIMES [PDF]

open access: yes
Wildfires in the United States result in total damages and costs that are likely to exceed billions of dollars annually. Land managers and policy makers propose higher rates of prescribed burning and other kinds of vegetation management to reduce amounts

Characterization of soils in an area of prescribed fire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The prescribed fire is a technique that is often used, it has several advantages. Pedological and hydropedological techniques were tested to assess the prescribed fire changes may cause in soils. This work was performed in Tresminas area (Vila Pouca de
