Maps: captions must credit all sources used to produce the map: base map if used (e.g., Google Map attribution guidelines), and data plotted on the map (e.g., geological units and contacts, shape file data, boundary file data, data from other studies). List map projection (e.g., ...
burn severity index of comparison sites. Dashed lines indicate linear fit (y = 0.0.05 x + 0.70, p < 0.001, R2adj = 0.22). (C) Bray-Curtis dissimilarity to unburned sites (within the same vegetation community and the same soil horizon type) for fungi in uplands vs. burn severity ...
Indeed, the FWI was designed as a regional danger rating system and a meaningful interpretation of the FWI values can only come from the comparison with the range of possible historical values in that area. This historical information is very valuable and it is encapsulated in the reanalysis ...
Comparison of the forest composition and dynamics characterizing the five potential vegetation types reveals a dominance of the early-successional stage (S2) for a period of approximately 10 to 80–110 years after the last fire. During this period, all successional stages are present in the landsca...

3. the field of view from a forest fire ranger's tower can be mapped before the tower is built, without visiting the site; 4. the location of microwave relay towers depending upon line-of-sight propagation will be assisted by this method. ...
Although a relatively clear successional pattern from deciduous to coniferous composition relating to time-since-fire was observed, Pinus banksiana stands showed an erratic distribution not related to succession but possibly to the pre-fire stand composition. A comparison with forest cover maps produced ...
The Canadians fought their way through rubble-covered narrow streets, booby-trapped houses, machine-gun fire, and concealed landmines throughout the town. As the CBC described it, Ortona was a battle in the “courtyard of hell.” The Canadians were successful in the end, but at a cost of...
