For decades detection and monitoring of forest and other wildland fires has relied heavily on
aircraft (and satellites). Technical advances and improved affordability of both sensors and …

Sažetak Forest roads play a key-role in fire fighting activities. In fact, all ground-based
activities are strictly related to the presence of forest roads as access to fire edge. In spite of …

Fire suppression is the primary management response to wildfires in many areas globally.
By removing less-extreme wildfires, this approach ensures that remaining wildfires burn …

Wildland fire is a critical process in forests of the western United States (US). Variation in fire
behavior, which is heavily influenced by fuel loading, terrain, weather, and vegetation type …

We provide an empirical, global test of the varying constraints hypothesis, which predicts
systematic heterogeneity in the relative importance of biomass resources to burn and …

Widespread fire activity taxes suppression resources and can compound wildfire hazards.
We examine the geographic synchronicity of fire danger across western United States …

This simulation research was conducted in order to develop a large-fire risk assessment
system for the contiguous land area of the United States. The modeling system was applied …

Understanding the spatial patterns of fire occurrence and its response to climate change is
vital to fire risk mitigation and vegetation management. Focusing on boreal forests in …

There is an imperative for fire agencies to quantify the potential for prescribed burning to
mitigate risk to life, property and environmental values while facing changing climates. The …

Available data show that future changes in global change drivers may lead to an increasing
impact of fires on terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. Yet, fire regime changes in highly …
