lightning flashes are proposed to be the main igniters of lightning-ignited wildfires (LIW) …

Wildfire causes environmental, economic, and human problems or losses. This study
reviewed wildfires induced by lightning strikes. This review focuses on the investigations of …

Wildfires are a major natural hazard that lead to deforestation, carbon emissions, and loss of
human and animal lives every year. Effective predictions of wildfire occurrence and burned …

Southern European countries rely largely on fire suppression and ignition prevention to
manage a growing wildfire problem. We explored a more wholistic, long-term approach …

Lightning flashes with continuing currents are characterized by high energy transfer to
ground that produces severe damage to electric power systems. Novel space-based optical …

Lightning is the major cause of natural ignition of wildfires worldwide and produces the
largest wildfires in some regions. Lightning strokes produce about 5% of forest fires in the …

Lightning is the most important natural wildfire ignition source worldwide. However,
identifying the specific lightning causing a forest fire is a challenging task. The goal of this …

Abstract Context Wildfires in temperate Central Europe have traditionally been perceived as
a mere consequence of human activity without any relevance to natural forest development …

Accurate estimation of potential wildfire behavior characteristics (PWBC) can improve
wildfire danger assessment. However, wildfire behavior has been estimated by most fire …

Holdover fires are usually associated with lightning-ignited wildfires (LIWs), which can
experience a smoldering phase or go undetected for several hours, days or even weeks …
