Wildfire Emissions From European Boreal Fuels: Effects of Fuel Type and Moisture Content

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing severity of wildfires poses significant challenges through the release of greenhouse gases and other harmful gases and particles. Although field measurements exist, there is a lack of systematic data collection to understand the influence of moisture content on the particle and gas emissions of boreal fuels, particularly for ...

Study of Damage to Shutters Exposed to a Vegetation Fire: Definition of Vulnerability Thresholds

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the fire behavior of wooden, PVC, and aluminum shutters through laboratory and large‐scale experiments. Laboratory tests were conducted using a cone calorimeter to assess the ignitability of the PVC and wooden shutters, focusing on the critical heat flux of ignition, ignition time and critical Flux Time Product (FTP ...

Design of forest management planning DSS for wildfire risk reduction

Ecological Informatics, 2008
Abstract Forest management planning is generally a complicated task. The amount of data, information and knowledge involved in the management process is often overwhelming. Decision support systems can help forest managers make well documented decisions concerning forest management planning.
