INFERNO-peat v1.0.0: a representation of northern high-latitude peat fires in the JULES-INFERNO global fire model [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Peat fires in the northern high latitudes have the potential to burn vast amounts of carbon-rich organic soil, releasing large quantities of long-term stored carbon to the atmosphere.

Estimating future wildfire burnt area over Greece using the JULES-INFERNO model [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Our previous studies have shown that fire weather conditions in the Mediterranean and specifically over Greece are expected to become more severe with climate change, impling potential increases in burnt area.

How policy interventions influence burning to meet cultural and small-scale livelihood objectives

Ecology and Society
Fire has cultural and economic significance for Indigenous and rural peoples worldwide, being used to manage landscapes for activities such as hunting, gathering, cropping, and forestry, and for ceremonial and spiritual purposes.

Modelling fire occurrence at regional scale. Does vegetation phenology matter? [PDF]

, 2015
Through its influence on biomass production, climate controls fuel availability affecting at the same time fuel moisture and flammability, which are the main determinants for fire ignition and propagation.

Global environmental controls on wildfire burnt area, size, and intensity

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Fire is an important influence on the global patterns of vegetation structure and composition. Wildfire is included as a distinct process in many dynamic global vegetation models but limited current understanding of fire regimes restricts these models ...

Percolation in real Wildfires

, 2001
This paper focuses on the statistical properties of wild-land fires and, in particular, investigates if spread dynamics relates to simple invasion model.

Model fires, not ignitions: Capturing the human dimension of global fire regimes

Cell Reports Sustainability
Fire regimes are intrinsically shaped by humans, but current global fire models do not reflect the diverse objectives humans have for managing fire. With new data sources and collaboration across disciplines, an improved understanding of human influences

Decolonising Fire Science by Reexamining Fire Management across Contested Landscapes: A Workshop Approach

Fire
In many landscapes worldwide, fire regimes and human–fire interactions were reorganised by colonialism and continue to be shaped by neo-colonial processes.
