Gradient 3, with the highest elevation, had the greatest number of fires and also presented the largest area of fire event clustering. These results contribute to the knowledge of the spatial distribution of forest fires in Mexico and are of value to appropriate decision-making for effective fire...
The emissions of NOx (defined as NO (nitric oxide) + NO2 (nitrogen dioxide)) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN), per unit amount of fuel burned, from fires in the pine forests that dominate the mountains surrounding Mexico City (MC) are about 2 times higher than normally observed for forest ...

Using the 2000-2011 CONAFOR databases, a spatiotemporal analysis of the occurrence of forest fires in Durango, one of the most affected States in Mexico, was conducted. The Moran's index was used to determine a spatial distribution pattern; also, an analysis of seasonal and temporal autocorrelat...
Studies from other relict sites such as nature reserves in Mexico or the USA have all shown some recent alterations associated with industrialized society. At Pino Gordo, fires recurred frequently at the three study sites, with a composite mean fire interval of 1.9 years (all fires) to 7.6 ...
from surface and ground fires. A bigforestfire may crown—that is, spread rapidly through the topmost branches of the trees before involving undergrowth or the forest floor. As a result, violent blowups are common in forest fires, and they may assume the characteristics of afirestorm.See...
Forest fires are one of the major threats to the environment, to socio-economic activity and also to human life. Throughout history several generations have attempted to understand the role played by fire in the forest and to manage it. The scientific community with its contribution to the unde...
Other causes frequently associated with the transformations are forest fires and illegal logging. Forest deterioration and fragmentation were estimated in 1994 as affecting 22.2 million hectares. Tenure conditions of Mexico's forest are unusual in international terms: 80% of the forests are property of...
New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham tweeted on Tuesday that he will "continue working to hold the federal government accountable for making New Mexicans whole" after the USFS's negligence. The U.S. Forest Service conducts about 4,500 prescribed fires each year, according to a New York ...
