Working Paper 03: Protecting Old Trees from Prescribed Fire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Due to logging and other ecological changes, old trees have grown scarce in most southwestern ponderosa pine forests. Many of those that remain are under increased stress due to competition from overcrowded younger trees, as well as from fire and insects.

Assessing wildfire dynamics during a megafire in Portugal using the MesoNH/ForeFire coupled model

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Weather conditions affect megafires by inducing different fire behaviors over several days or weeks. The coupled MesoNH/ForeFire code was used to represent the dynamics of fire generating pyro‐convective clouds. To advance the understanding of wildfire dynamics, high‐resolution coupled fire–atmosphere modeling was employed.

Strategies to reintroduce prescribed fire as a grassland management process on the Canadian prairies

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence
Prescribed fire is a land management practice utilized in fire‐adapted ecosystems to reduce wildfire risks, control invasive, exotic and woody plant species, enhance productivity and biodiversity, and share knowledge of land and culture.

PRIOR REGULATION AND POST LIABILITY AS COMPLEMENTS: AN APPLICATION TO PRESCRIBED BURNING LAW IN THE UNITED STATES [PDF]

open access: yes
Prescribed burning is increasingly being recognized as a useful land management and conservation tool, but with it comes the risk of fire and smoke damage to the property of others.

ECOSTRESS‐derived semi‐arid forest temperature and evapotranspiration estimates demonstrate drought and thinning impacts

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that ECOSTRESS lands surface temperature (LST) data are sensitive to forest thinning, regional drought, and their interaction. Consistent with high‐resolution UAV images, ECOSTRESS LST data indicate thinned forest had significantly greater temperature across years.

Factors Affecting Grid-independent Results for Compartment Fire Modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Obtaining grid independent results for compartment fires using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is a major challenge, especially when the fire is not prescribed. While simulating a fire scenario using a CFD model, most fire safety engineers use
