The final fire risk zone mapping was produced by integrating all the four criteria based on their weightage. Finally, a classified fire risk map for Wood Buffalo region is generated showing five fire risk classes (very low, low, moderate, high, and very high). The study indicates about ...
A conceptual system dynamic model of the impact of future climate change on fire risk in the Nova Scotian Acadian Forest Region (NS AFR) was developed, clarifying the influence of positive and negative drivers of future fire risk. Weights of relative importance for seven wildfire risk drivers id...
2,3. The average forest fire size in Canada, the USA and Australia has doubled or even tripled in recent decades4,5. In return, forest fires feed back to climate by modulating land–atmospheric carbon, nitrogen, aerosol, energy and water fluxes6,7,8. However...
forest fire risk under projected future climates. We find that climate change is projected to lead to widespread increases in risk, with at least 30 additional days above critical thresholds for fire activity in forest biomes on every continent by 2100 under rising emissions scenarios. Escalating ...
Background and objectives: Spatial prediction of fire risk and preparing the forest fire risk map across the natural areas are among the ways that can be used to prevent and to manage fire. The aim of this research was zonation of forest fire risk in Golestan National Park using non-parametr...
Thus, studying the interaction between forest resilience and fire is critical to understanding post-fire vegetation response in the face of increasing fire risk in northern high latitude forest ecosystems (Mack et al., 2021). Boreal forest is typically a fire-adapted biome, having evolved in ...
calculating fire danger. The CFFDRS provides the necessary tools for fire agencies and forest managers to estimate the potential danger and risk of wildfires. It has since evolved to have various subsystems but continues to be the system used to assess the risk of forest fires in Canada today...
(This article belongs to the Section Natural Hazards and Risk Management) Download keyboard_arrow_down Browse Figures Versions Notes Abstract This study explored, for the first time, the drivers shaping large fire size and high severity of forest fires classified as level-2 in Spain, which ...
Moreover, filters such as “natural caused fires”, “risk assessment”, and “year of publication” were used. Systems and indices included in the current study were divided into two groups: (1) the ad hoc fire systems indices; and (2) the indirect indicators. The first one consists of...
Rainforests are also threatened by climate change, which is contributing to droughts in parts of the Amazon and Southeast Asia. Drought causes die-offs of trees and dries out leaf litter, increasing the risk of forest fires, which are often set by land developers, ranchers, plantation owners, ...
