Recent Advances in Wildland Fire Smoke Dynamics Research in the United States

Atmosphere
Smoke plume dynamics involve various smoke processes and mechanics in the atmosphere and provide the scientific foundation for the development of tools to simulate and predict smoke and its environmental and human impacts. The increasing occurrence of wildfires and the demands for more extensive application of prescribed fires in the U.S.

Metal Toxin Signatures in the Smoke of Wildland–Urban Interface Fires

Wildland–urban interface (WUI) fires burn natural and built environments simultaneously, generating smoke from vegetation, soil, buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure. Airborne metals can provide source signatures and pose inhalation hazards, yet the sources and physicochemical properties of these metals in WUI fire smoke remain poorly resolved. This

Direct and indirect wildland fire exposures and impacts in California’s wildland–urban interface

Background People who live in the wildland–urban interface (WUI), where human development overlaps or neighbors wildland vegetation, are at risk of adverse public health consequences caused by wildland fires.

Wildland fire in Eastern Oregon and Washington

, 2001
Wildland fire is a major disturbance agent that shapes the forest health, productivity, and ecological diversity of eastern Oregon and Washington, USA. Fire behaviour and the effects of fire on flora, fauna, soils, air, and water are in large part driven

Multisource remote sensing and geospatial analysis of vineyard wildfire impacts and exposure: the 2019 Kincade Fire

Frontiers in Sustainability
Working agricultural landscapes are often treated as background to wildfire disasters, even though they are managed fuel mosaics, productive assets, and parts of regional infrastructure systems.
