Peatland-fire interactions: A review of wildland fire feedbacks and interactions in Canadian boreal peatlands.

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment, 2021
Boreal peatlands store a disproportionately large quantity of soil carbon (C) and play a critical role within the global C-climate system; however, with climatic warming, these C stores are at risk.

Minimize the Bad Days: Wildland Fire Response and Suppression Success

open access: yesRangelands, 2022
On the Ground Effective wildland fire response and suppression are critical for reducing the size of frequent and severe wildfires, thereby reducing the risk of post-fire conversion to invasive annual grass-dominated plant communities.

A Suite of smoke tools for forecasting and managing air quality impacts from fires

open access: yesBiodiversidade Brasileira, 2019
Dealing with smoke is a growing issue as larger and more frequent wildfires and increasing populations amplify the various concerns generated by smoke exposure--from firefighter and transportation safety to economic losses to health effects.

Wildland-urban interface fire ashes as a major source of incidental nanomaterials.

open access: yesJournal of Hazardous Materials, 2022
Although metal and metalloid concentrations in wildfire ashes have been documented, the nature and concentrations of incidental nanomaterials (INMs) in wildland-urban interface (WUI) fire ashes have received considerably less attention.

A Laboratory-Scale Study of Selected Chinese Typical Flammable Wildland Timbers Ignition Formation Mechanism

open access: yesFire, 2023
Firebrands are the primary source of ignition for large wildfires and urban wildfires (WUIs). China is a country with a high incidence of forest fires, and there are great differences in the terrain, climate, and other natural conditions in different ...

Wildland Fire Susceptibility Mapping Using Support Vector Regression and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System-Based Whale Optimization Algorithm and Simulated Annealing

open access: yesISPRS Int. J. Geo Inf., 2021
Fires are one of the most destructive forces in natural ecosystems. This study aims to develop and compare four hybrid models using two well-known machine learning models, support vector regression (SVR) and the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system ...

Chemical Tomography in a Fresh Wildland Fire Plume: A Large Eddy Simulation (LES) Study

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres, 2021
Wildland fires involve complicated processes that are challenging to represent in chemical transport models. Recent airborne measurements reveal remarkable chemical tomography in fresh wildland fire plumes, which remain yet to be fully explored using ...

Comparing calibrated statistical and machine learning methods for wildland fire occurrence prediction: a case study of human-caused fires in Lac La Biche, Alberta, Canada

open access: yesInternational journal of wildland fire, 2021
Wildland fire occurrence prediction (FOP) modelling supports fire management decisions, such as suppression resource pre-positioning and the routeing of detection patrols.
