It is well-known that these activities play a critical role in fire occurrence in the boreal forest. In Ontario, Canada, on average, two-thirds of all forest fires were caused by humans over the 1976 to 1999 period [7]; while, in the Siberian boreal forest, human-caused fires are ...
To revert this, an innovative GHG emission risk model has been developed and implemented in a pilot forest area. This model considers geospatial variables to build up emission vulnerability based on potential fire severity and resistance of a landscape, value at risk and the hazard of a fire ...
