A Minimal Model for the Vegetation Combustion in Wildfire Simulators

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2018
In this paper a semi-physical model for the vegetation burning in wildland fire is proposed. The model is developed with the final aim to simulate large scale wildland fires which spread on heterogeneous landscape. In a modular modelling approach, it can

Wildland Fires in the U.S.

open access: yes, 2019
In 2018, the United States experienced one of the most devastating year for wildland fire in recorded history.  There were 58083 fires, which burn more than 8.7 million acres area and cost 3.1 billion dollars for suppression in total.  Nowadays, the fire

Burn Severity as a Driver of Multi‐Year Increases in Gross Primary Production and Solar‐Induced Fluorescence Following a Wildfire in Arctic Tundra

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract While climate‐driven increases in wildfires are altering the composition and function of Arctic ecosystems, the impact of burn severity on longer‐term changes in community composition and ecosystem fluxes remains less understood, creating uncertainty in estimates of the biome's carbon storage capacity.

Contribution of La‐Niña‐Like Pacific Ocean Trend in Sea‐Surface Temperatures to Western United States Wildfire Area, 1984–2022

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract In the western United States (US), the annual wildfire extent increased by 306% over 1984–2022, largely due to a 1,320% increase in forest‐fire area. During this time, associated with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), the tropical Pacific Ocean exhibited a “La‐Niña‐like” trend with an enhanced zonal sea‐surface temperature gradient (gSST)

An Overview of Behaviour in Fires [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The major differences between fires in the patterns of behaviour that are associated with them are not due to variations between the personalities of the people present or to particular physical details of the design of the buildings involved.

Inside the Fire Plume Chemical Interactions: A Review on Key Processes and Future Directions

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Fire plumes are rising columns of heated air masses, consisting of gaseous and particulate matter generated by combustion, affecting air quality, climate and public health. The chemical species released undergo secondary reactions and participate in chemical and physical interactions, altering the properties of the fire plume.

A High Resolution Coupled Fire–Atmosphere Forecasting System to Minimize the Impacts of Wildland Fires: Applications to the Chimney Tops II Wildland Event

open access: yes, 2018
Wildland fires are responsible for large socio-economic impacts. Fires affect the environment, damage structures, threaten lives, cause health issues, and involve large suppression costs.

Forest Floor Protection: The Critical Defense Against Post‐Harvest Soil Carbon Loss

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the dynamics of soil carbon accumulation and loss following forest harvest is crucial for sustainable forest operations in western Canada. However, the region's diverse climates and forest types complicate broad generalizations regarding disturbance impacts. We synthesized 20 years of soil carbon stock (SCS) data from the British

Practitioner Perspectives on Learning From Emergency Response Operations: Consequences for a Strengthened Use of Debriefings – A Qualitative Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, Volume 34, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This qualitative systematic review explores how emergency service practitioners experience and engage in informal learning opportunities post‐events. Drawing on six qualitative studies, the review examines factors that shape engagement in reflective practices following emergency operations.
