River flooding can be a highly destructive natural hazard. Numerous approaches have been
used to study the phenomenon; however, insufficient knowledge regarding flood …

Fire occurrence, which results from the presence of an ignition source and the conditions for
a fire to spread, is an essential component of fire risk assessment. In this paper, we present …

We aimed to identify the limits of savanna across Africa, Australia and South America. We
based our investigation on the rich history of hypotheses previously examined: that the limits …

Background Ecosystem management, community restoration, and managing for climate
resilience have become major priorities of land management in recent decades. For …

The main aim of this study is to use weights of evidence (WoE), logistic regression (LR),
naïve Bayes (NB), and alternating decision tree (ADTree) models to draw a landslide …

Abstract Fire regimes in North American forests are diverse and modern fire records are
often too short to capture important patterns, trends, feedbacks, and drivers of variability …

Despite its large size, the Congo Basin (CB), which spans ten countries, has remained an
area of particular interest for scientific discovery due to gaps in Earth science, environmental …

Abstract Knowledge of wildfire behavior is of key importance for planning and allocating
resources to fire suppression efforts. In this study, we analyzed the spatial pattern of wildfires …

We reviewed literature in the fields of anthropology, archaeology, ethnobotany, palynology
and ecology to try to determine the impacts of Native Americans as active and passive …

Here we integrate spatial information on annual burnt area, fire frequency, fire seasonality,
fire radiative power and fire size distributions to produce an integrated picture of fire regimes …
