By establishing linkages between the longest duration of fire-conducive weather spell and fire activity parameters, this study projected annual area burned (AAB), annual number of fires (ANF), and annual maximum fire size (MFS) into the future. We found that even though the rates of change ...
"What we have are fires that might have occurred anyway," Peter Gleick,a US climate scientist,told Time. "But the extent,the severity(严重程度) and the intensity(强度,烈度) of these fires are far worse than them otherwise would have been without the fingerprints of climate change."...
but characterizing and understanding such changes have been challenging from a long-term and global perspective. By analyzing water extent variations observed from four-decade Landsat imagery, we here provide a global attribution of the recent changes in river regime...
There are currently around 34,000 trackable objects in orbit around the Earth with many of them concentrated in a narrow band below 2000 km altitude. The Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee has designated this band, commonly called Low Earth Orbit, as a protected region because of i...
Public perceptions of natural disturbance in Canada’s national parks: The case of the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) In national parks, MPB has the potential to impact visual quality and safety of visitors, and to spread beyond park boundaries to the industrial forest ......
. Swidden-related intentional combustion is one of the main causes of vegetation fires in the tropics, and it receives international concern in the context of the REDD scheme [4]. However, only a few exploratory studies are currently reported to detect and measure the extent and changes of ...
