A Minimal Model for the Vegetation Combustion in Wildfire Simulators
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

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

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.

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]
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
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.

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
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

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.
