Extensive nonstand-replacing fires of low and high intensity dominate the fire regime in larch- and pine-dominated forests, mostly in Scandinavia and Russia, while stand-replacing fires of high intensity predominate in the spruce forests of Canada (Rogers et al., 2015). The mean fire return ...
the effects of both factors, which means that impact of one factor reduces (by affecting the same components of ecosystems) the possibility for negative influence of another one. The gradual increase in nitrogen deposition from 1.5 to 3.0 kg ha−1year−1for northern taiga and from 3.0 to ...
In order to specify the type of land cover where the burned areas were identified, the results were subsequently overlaid with the land cover maps of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry from 2013 to 2017. These land cover maps show the spatial extent of 22 classes of land cover, which...
particularly when interacting with communities, have been dire and have resulted in substantial socio-economic losses all over the world2,3. In North America, most notably was the 2016 Mcmurray fire in which the fire burned through 1,500,000 acres, causing destruction...
Researchers used the RF method in a forestry study in China and, like us, concluded that vegetation type, slope, and aspect are less important than proximity to towns, temperature, and precipitation54. Another research group studied flood susceptibility along the Pearl River in China using the DM...

Satellite-derived fire burned area proportion in China is comparable to the annual rate of 0.57% forest being burned in Canada, one of the fire-prone regions in the world (Stinson et al., 2011; Stocks et al., 2002). On the other hand, except for GFED4.1s that revealed a slightly ...

There are still many limitations to forest fire spread forecasting, and more experiments should be done to renew the parameters in the formula. From a meteorological point of view, the wind is an important factor affecting the spread of forest fires, but the current temporal and spatial ...
