Fire Land use Guinea savanna Size class distribution Woody species 1. Introduction The structure, composition and function of savannas are dependent on the interplay of climatic and edaphic factors (N’Datchoh et al., 2015; Veenendaal et al., 2018). However, humans have predominantly influenced ...
That's why you should stay informed about the Air Quality Index (AQI) during wildfires.The higher the pollutant levels in the air, the higher the number on the index goes. It runs from 0 to 500 and is color-coded to indicate when the air is more or less harmful to humans. Readings ...
Due to anthropogenic climate change and historic fire suppression, wildfire frequency and severity are increasing across the western United States. Whereas the indirect effects of fire on wildlife via habitat ... Authors:Jessalyn Ayars, Robert L. Emmet, Sarah B. Bassing, Olivia V. Sanderfoot, Sie...
fire seasons5,6. Broad ownership categories can serve as a surrogate for forest management goals, practices, and policy preferences by individuals7, and much of the push and pull between humans, forests, and wildfire can be interpreted through the lens of landscape patterns of ownership, where ...
The extent to which humans have polluted environmental reservoirs over centuries or millennia is often expressed in terms of enrichment factors. Natural archives such as lake and peat sediments and ice cores have been used to estimate Hg enrichment in deposition, and by inference in the atmosphere....
In addition, such effects can accelerate the rate of genetic changes on X- or Z-linked genomic regions (i.e. the faster-X theory)3, which can also contribute to Haldane's and Coyne's empir- ical patterns. Namely, under the faster-X theory, exposure of recessive mutations to selection ...
Sleepiness was assessed in a field setting using the ESS from 11 randomly selected fire departments in the Midwestern United States. ESS, EDS Majority of firefighters scored in the normal range of ESS on both on-duty and off-duty days. Firefighters who reported EDS while at work were much mo...
The psychological effects of bushfires that devastated areas of South Australia on Ash Wednesday 1983 are described. We emphasise the need to assess the various components of a disaster to understand its immediate and long-term impact. In the inventory phase, much of the symptomatic disturbance is...
