Our study area resides in the Okanogan Highlands of north central Washington State in an area that fully encompasses the 2006 Tripod Complex fire (Fig.1). Knowing that many wildfires originate from outside of a landscape of interest, we established a full rectangular bounding extent by adding a...
The regular burning of the wetland (note that in general, South Africa is prone to wildfires) may be one of the reasons for this spread. The Colbyn Valley Wetland experiences fires (sometimes twice a year) on a regular basis and they kill fauna, damage the flora and the wooden fences. ...
Across the globe, human activities have been gaining importance relatively to climate and ecology as the main controls on fire regimes and consequently human activity became an important driver of the frequency, extent and intensity of vegetation burning
