Abstract Knowledge of the causes of forest fires, and of the main driving factors of ignition, is
an indispensable step towards effective fire prevention policies. This study analyses the …

Forest fires may have devastating consequences for the environment and for human lives.
The prediction of forest fires is vital for preventing their occurrence. Currently, there are fewer …

An intact forest landscape (IFL) is a seamless mosaic of forest and naturally treeless
ecosystems with no remotely detected signs of human activity and a minimum area of 500 …

Predicting and map** fire susceptibility is a top research priority in fire-prone forests
worldwide. This study evaluates the abilities of the Bayes Network (BN), Naïve Bayes (NB) …

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 …

Over the last decades, the different issues regarding the expansion of the wildland-urban
interface (WUI)-particularly those related to fires-have spread around the world with …

Growing human and ecological costs due to increasing wildfire are an urgent concern in
policy and management, particularly given projections of worsening fire conditions under …

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 …

Natural disturbances play a key role in ecosystem dynamics and are important factors for
