Overall the health costs of the 2019–2020 Australian fires were close to US$1.5 billion58, a number comparable to one estimate of the annual acute health impacts from wildfire smoke in Canada59. We have modelled forest fire only, and any increases in fire risk that extend to peatlands ...
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...
For that reason, is necessary arises models for the risk of forest fires in areas with low response capacity and high level of poverty like San Ger贸nimo district, specifically in the Andean community of Picol Orcopungio, because these wildfires can break out in there. The ...

Forest fire risk mapping is a basic method for planning and preventing forest fires. The objective of this work is to show the potential of using Geographic Information Systems for planning measures to prevent and fight forest fire fragm... PHS Mota,BP Reis,KS Zatelli,... - 《Australian Jo...
Overview: Researchers are integrating 14-day weather projections with models of fire risk and firefighting resource needs. A proposed model will express the change in risk associated with borrowing or releasing fire fighting resources between jurisdictions in Canada. DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.1.2829.0961 年份...

There was variability within the burned forests, and each forest included burned patches that experienced high severity fires as well as patches with low severity fires. Prior to the fires, both forests were dominated by larch and interspersed with a small proportion of birch. We performed ...
which caused the conversion of small patches into large patches and reduced forest fragmentation. In contrast, more frequent fires, caused by climate change in Canada, Far East Russia, the Brazilian Amazon, tropical Africa and coastal Australia (Supplementary Fig.5) have resulted in remarkable forest...
However, not all trends are positive. While forests in most states continue to be carbon sinks, forests in some Rocky Mountain states have recently become carbon sources due to the effects of drought, insect and disease epidemics, and forest fires. ...
