To control and use wildland fires safely and effectively depends on creditable assessments
of fire potential, including the propensity for crowning in conifer forests. Simulation studies …

Wildland fire risk assessment and fuel management planning on federal lands in the US are
complex problems that require state‐of‐the‐art fire behavior modeling and intensive …

Crown fire endangers fire fighters and can have severe ecological consequences.
Prediction of fire behavior in tree crowns is essential to informed decisions in fire …

The burning of two species of pine needles: Pinus halepensis and Pinus pinaster, was
studied to characterize the behavior of the forest floor in wildland fires. These fuels are …

Quantifying the effects of mountain pine beetle (MPB)-caused tree mortality on potential
crown fire hazard has been challenging partly because of limitations in current operational …

We analyzed wildfire exposure for key social and ecological features on the national forests
in Oregon and Washington. The forests contain numerous urban interfaces, old growth …

Simard et al.(2011) have produced a comprehensive data set and analysis concerning
mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae)-caused mortality and associated …

This paper presents a study to assess the influence of pine needle layer characteristics on
combustion for three pine species of the Mediterranean region of France. It identifies the key …

An experimental study of the burning rates of small-scale forest fuel layers composed of
maritime pine needles is carried out by using the FM-Global Fire Propagation Apparatus …
