Wildland fire, air pollution and cardiovascular health: is it time to focus on the microvasculature as a risk assessment tool?

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Climate change favors weather conditions conducive to wildland fires. The intensity and frequency of forest fires are increasing, and fire seasons are lengthening.

The contribution of wildland fire emissions to deposition in the U S: implications for tree growth and survival in the Northwest

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Ecosystems require access to key nutrients like nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) to sustain growth and healthy function. However, excessive deposition can also damage ecosystems through nutrient imbalances, leading to changes in productivity and shifts in ...

Observations of Sweep–Ejection Dynamics for Heat and Momentum Fluxes during Wildland Fires in Forested and Grassland Environments

Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2021
The vertical turbulent transfer of heat and momentum in the lower atmospheric boundary layer is accomplished through intermittent sweep, ejection, outward interaction, and inward interaction events associated with turbulent updrafts and downdrafts. These

Current Wildland Fire Patterns and Challenges in Europe: A Synthesis of National Perspectives

Air, Soil and Water Research, 2021
Changes in climate, land use, and land management impact the occurrence and severity of wildland fires in many parts of the world. This is particularly evident in Europe, where ongoing changes in land use have strongly modified fire patterns over the ...

The world is burning: What exactly are firebrands and why should anyone care?

Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2023
Large outdoor fires have become commonplace all over the world. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) defines large outdoor fires as an urban fire, tsunami-generated fire, volcano-generated fire, wildland-urban interface (WUI) fire ...

Area burned adjustments to historical wildland fires in Canada

, 2021
Prior to delineation of fire perimeters from airborne and satellite imagery, fire management agencies in Canada employed conventional methods to map area burned based on sketch mapping, digitization from a global positioning system unit, and point ...

Understanding future changes to fires in southern Europe and their impacts on the wildland-urban interface

, 2021
Southern Europe is a highly fire-prone region where extreme fires have often disastrous consequences on both structures and people. Human activities and severe weather conditions favouring ignitions and propagation have always been the drivers of such ...
