Over the past ten years, the cost of managing fires, such as suppression and control, has ranged from $500 million to $1 billion annually in Canada (Simon et al., 2022), whereas the average annual burned area of forest is roughly 2.5 million hectares (https://cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/...
This is the first of its kind work on the assessment of forest burnt area and fire hotspots of Myanmar using Landsat OLI data and spatial statistics tool. Burnt area analysis indicates 15.2% of vegetation area was affected by fires in 2017. Analysis of burnt area at state level indicates ...
Thus, the early discovery and forecasting of forest fires are both urgent and necessary for forest fire control, and they have become one of the nation’s interests. Forest fires and the resultant smoke-haze are not relatively new experiences in Malaysia. Despite improved management, wildfires ...
The effects of forest fires on tree recruitment dynamics in tropical forests is important for predicting forest dynamics and ecosystem function in Southeast Asia. To our knowledge, no studies have examined the effects of fire intensity on community-level
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, ...
Methodology for the discrimination of areas affected by forest fires using satellite images and spatial statistics[J] . L. Bohórquez,I. Gómez,F. Santa.Procedia Environmental Sciences . 2011Bohorquez, L., Gomez, I., & Santa, F. (2011). Methodology for the discrimination of areas affected by...
Thus, the development of the different types of forest habitats that we see today is mainly due to natural processes and fires rather than human planning. The outcome is that these forests create a mosaic of heterogeneous habitats with high structural diversity of vegetation (Schall et al. 2018...
Although these two sites were in close proximity to one another and may have burned during the same fire events, they were analyzed separately because they were separated by a major river (the North Fork of the Malheur River) that may have impeded the spread of many historical fires. Fire ...
A legacy of past fires is evident in the form of blackened basal hollows found throughout the southern range of the coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens [D. Don] Endl.) forest. A deeper look reveals cambial scars dating back centuries, telling a story of low- to moderate-intensity fires that...
Under typical conditions, tree mortality will occur mostly as quasi-random events in which dead trees will be found isolated and diffused across the landscape (Larson et al., 2015, Hurst et al., 2012). Under more intense environmental constraints (e.g. fires, insect, drought), tree ...
