Incidences of dry spells, droughts, forest fires, heatwaves, flash floods, and disease outbreaks are increasing along with slow-onset risk [120]. Floods are of particular importance, as they destroy crocodile nests. Muggers freely cross the Nepalese–Indian border, making their management an ...
[40], the leakage current is the main cause of fires on poles, which may result in wildfires. When an insulator is contaminated, there may be an increase in leakage current until there is a disruptive failure [41]. The contamination accumulates over time and becomes embedded in the surface...
in mainland Portugal. To achieve this objective, six planted stands located in the north and centre of the country were chosen, which were considered representative of the distribution of the species in the country and the most extreme south-western location in Europe. The height and diameter at...
Ecosystems are frequently disturbed by fires that have an important impact on the soil environment and the composition of soil organisms. In order to provide a baseline for the current research and identify trends on the effects of wildland fire on soil
Spatially explicit data also aid in assessing risks such as forest fires, pests, diseases, and illegal activities, thus allowing proactive measures to mitigate them. Typically, information on forest resources is obtained through National Forest Inventories (NFIs). Data collected in NFI field sample ...
Here, we can use the analyzes presented in [84], in which data from the American governmental agencies NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board), BTS (Bureau of Transportation Statistics), and the Recalls.gov website were used. The data (Table 7) indicate that the largest number of fires ...
This technology can support different types of services under the smart waste management system, including smart bins and drop-off containers that interact with users, and video surveillance units [104] equipped with machine learning capabilities for detecting nearby fires [104]. Beyond mere collection...
