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. [1]R&D Hot Topic: Forest Carbon Status and ...
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...
BlueSky (BS): The BlueSky Western Canada Wildfire Smoke Forecasting Framework (http://firesmoke.ca) uses current data to generate hourly forecasts of PM2.5 concentrations from forest fires up to 60 h in advance with a spatial resolution of 4 km. Like FireWork, it is a complex forecasting sys...
A forest fire is any unplanned fire in the forest environment that may occur due to natural forces or human actions. Uncontrolled forest fires in vegetation are usually higher than 6 feet (1.8 m). These fires often reach the proportions of a major conflagration and often result from combusti...
Over the last century, fire exclusion has caused dramatic structural and compositional changes to southern New England forests, highlighting the need to reintroduce fires into the historically pyrogenic landscape to study the response. We investigated the effects of a single overstory thinning and midsto...
Tree-related microhabitats (hereafter, “TreMs”) are key components of forest biodiversity but they are still poorly known in North American hardwood forests. The spatial patterns of living trees bearing TreMs (hereafter, “TreM-trees”) also remain to
It has been applied to various forest species in different countries such as Australia, Finland, Brazil, Canada, Spain, New Zealand, China, South Africa, and the United States as shown in Table 4. While much work has been done on the 3-PG model in plantations, it has also performed well...
In Northwest Argentina, timber extraction and man-caused fires threaten the sustainability of Southern Andean Yungas forests. In this region, we evaluated, in relation to a reference unburned forest, the effects of close and distant fire-disturbed patches on bird assemblages, exploring also ...
