Local forest structure variability increases resilience to wildfire in dry western U.S. coniferous forests. [PDF]

, 2020
A 'resilient' forest endures disturbance and is likely to persist. Resilience to wildfire may arise from feedback between fire behaviour and forest structure in dry forest systems.

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
