We analyzed the relative fire regimes by looking at the pattern of fire return interval for each model in each of the suppression areas and in the WUI. Finally, we examined how tree species composition (by biomass) changed under each climate scenario. To understand changes in the forest compos...
We identify and dis- cuss several implementation challenges in the context of East and Southern Africa's recent history, population growth, and climatic changes, to highlight the barriers for bottom-up CBFiM from being realized in SBEA projects implemented in this region, providing ...
Changes to fire regimes threaten biodiversity worldwide and emphasize the need to understand the ecological consequences of fire management. For fire management to effectively protect biodiversity, it is essential to have ecologicallyrelevant metrics to plan and evaluate management interventions. Here, we ...
While the negative impacts of fuel accumulation are commonly recognized as an indirect consequence of fire suppression, integrating the impacts of the suppression bias would improve our understanding of fire-human relationships, and ongoing changes in fire activity. Part of the solution to coexisting ...

As of 2023, the use of prescribed fire to manage ecosystems accounts for more than 50% of area burned annually across the United States. Prescribed fire is carried out when meteorological conditions, including temperature, humidity, and wind speed are ap
• Align with recent changes to the Ontario Building Code (OBC), which is a companion regulation to the OFC. As the OBC sets requirements for new construction, and the OFC applies to existing buildings, changes to the OFC typically follow changes to the OBC. • Strengthen fire safety in...
Fire Safety Regulations 2022 Fire doors and their hardware play an invaluable role in the safety of our built environment As such, in January 2023, The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, under Regulation 10, made it a legal requirement for all responsible persons of multi-occupied ...
2015). In contrast, the positive correlation observed in the northern Cerrado, characterized by recent land use changes and predominant row crops like soybean and sugarcane (MapBiomas Project 2023), highlights the susceptibility of these areas to fire. As land use expands, so does the extent of...
As such, higher-severity fire may be an important tool in restoring fire-adapted communities where low-severity fire lacks the ability to produce meaningful forest structure and community changes. However, NNIP proliferation in high-severity burn areas can undermine the restoration benefits we observed...
