Cardiopulmonary hospitalization risks from wildfire-specific and non-wildfire PM2.5 in 20 US states [PDF]

Nature Communications
Increasing wildfire activity in the US has made wildfire-specific fine particulate matter (PM2.5) an important and growing source of air pollution, yet its long-term health impacts and relative toxicity compared with non-wildfire PM2.5 remain unclear ...

Analysis of methods for assimilating fire perimeters into a coupled fire-atmosphere model

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Correctly initializing the fire within coupled fire-atmosphere models is critical for producing accurate forecasts of meteorology near the fire, as well as the fire growth, and plume evolution.

A recent review of fire behavior and fire effects on native vegetation in Central Chile

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Central Chile experienced a very extended and devastating fire season during 2016–17. After 3 years, here we present the results of an analysis of behavior of the wildfires occurred in that season.

Multiple-Scale Relationships between Vegetation, the Wildland–Urban Interface, and Structure Loss to Wildfire in California

Fire, 2021
Recent increases in destructive wildfires are driving a need for empirical research documenting factors that contribute to structure loss. Existing studies show that fire risk is complex and varies geographically, and the role of vegetation has been ...

Chemical characteristics of wildfire ash across the globe and their environmental and socio-economic implications

Environment International, 2023
The mobilisation of potentially harmful chemical constituents in wildfire ash can be a major consequence of wildfires, posing widespread societal risks. Knowledge of wildfire ash chemical composition is crucial to anticipate and mitigate these risks.Here

Pine Species That Support Crown Fire Regimes Have Lower Leaf-Level Terpene Contents Than Those Native to Surface Fire Regimes

Fire, 2020
Fire is increasingly being recognised as an important evolutionary driver in fire-prone environments. Biochemical traits such as terpene (volatile isoprenoid) concentration are assumed to influence plant flammability but have often been overlooked as ...
