But in the far North, some forest fires just don't die. They are thought of as“zombie(僵尸)fires”.“Zombie fires" usually sleep underground in winter. Covered by snow, they smoke through the cold. Fueled by carbon-rich peat(泥炭) and soil in the North, most of these hidden fires ...
forest fires serves as the action to improve the forest. There are several tangible as well as intangible losses due to forest fires, and they cause an environmental threat to the affected area. Some of the important SLFM actions for the prevention and control of forest fires were identified ...
vegetation (generally coarse and weedy) or with savannas, which usually appear after tropical forests are clear-cut, owing to irrational exploitation, forest fires, and other factors. An unusual type of tropical vegetation—the mangrove forest—is found in coastal areas that are flooded periodically...
First, the factors affecting the occurrence and spread of forest fires are selected to train the classifier; then, the trained classifier is used to compute the probability of fire occurrence of each cell in the study area. Most studies of this nature focus on using a new ensemble algorithm ...
Forest-grassland mosaic ecosystems can exhibit alternative stables states, whereby under the same environmental conditions, the ecosystem could equally well reside either in one state or another, depending on the initial conditions. We develop a mathemat
Vegetation shift and laurophyllisation: the possible role of forest fires. In: Klotzli, F., Walther, G.R. (Eds.), Conference on Recent Shifts in Vegetation Boundaries of Deciduous Forests, Especially due to General Global Warming. Birkenhauser, Basel, pp. 69-84....
North Korean citizens were also urged to thoroughly check and repair power lines and cut down branches of trees near them as soon as possible to prevent fires caused by power accidents. In addition, the newspaper ordered that “monitoring and control projects should be carried out,” and tha...
The initial reports about local fires in April and May were not terrifying. In spring, residents usually burn old grass which results in local fires in the suburbs of Moscow and neighbouring regions. Also, as usual, forest fires began to occur in the Siberian part of Russia. The first signs...
The impacts of abiotic factors – both natural and human initiated - on forest ecology are quite well known. For instance, in some dry forested regions of the Western USA, both naturally and human ignited fires may have shaped vast areas, creating a mosaic of forest and non-forest landscapes...
Incident Commanders (IC) at the Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) are challenged to handle forest fires and at the same time address the forest owners’ needs; this stipulates a need for collaboration, information, and communication. Hence, the aim of this study was to explore and describe the...
