Disaster management is a critical area that requires efficient methods and techniques to
address various challenges. This comprehensive assessment offers an in-depth overview of …

Wildfires are part of the natural cycle of life in vegetated regions. The apparent increase in
size and frequency of recent years reflects land management legacy, expansion of human …

The distribution of fuels is recognised as a key driver of wildland fire behaviour. However,
our understanding of how fuel density heterogeneity affects fire behaviour is limited because …

Airborne Laser Scanners (ALS) and Terrestrial Laser Scanners (TLS) are two lidar systems
frequently used for remote sensing forested ecosystems. The aim of this study was to …

We conducted a 2-year study utilizing a network of fixed sites with sampling throughout an
extended prescribed burning period to characterize the emissions and evolution of smoke …

Over the past century, fire suppression has facilitated broad ecological changes in the
composition, structure, and function of fire‐dependent landscapes throughout the eastern …

Stand-level fuel reduction treatments in the Canadian boreal zone are used predominantly
in community protection settings to alter the natural structure of dominant boreal conifer …

The spatial pattern of surface fuelbeds in fire-dependent ecosystems are rarely captured
using long-standing fuel sampling methods. New techniques, both field sampling and …

Abstract Background Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) ecosystems are recognized as
biodiversity hotspots, and their sustainability is tightly coupled to a complex nexus of …

Predictive accuracy in wildland fire behavior is contingent on a thorough understanding of
the 3D fuel distribution. However, this task is complicated by the complex nature of fuel forms …
