Results of validation of the fire risk map showed that 80% of the actual fires were located in the very high and high risk areas in fire risk map. It can show the acceptable accuracy of the fire risk model and map obtained from fuzzy AHP in this study. The obtained fire risk map can...
The supply of timber from a forest will be affected by harvesting activities as well as natural disturbances (insect outbreaks, fires, etc.). These reductions in forested area, growth, and quality will undoubtedly affect the sustained yield from a forest (Runyon, 1991). Although simulation ...
Because forest fires are increasing in frequency and intensity as the global climate changes (Flannigan et al., 2005, Wotton et al., 2010), we expect increasing public health impacts from smoke over the coming decades. In addition to acute PM2.5 exposures, forest fire smoke may also play a...
Carbon storage in dead wood increased, but this was largely offset by a decrease in live biomass. Substantial losses of live above-ground carbon are attributed to fire and drought, such as the widespread fires in northern Siberia in 2012 and extreme drought in eastern Siberia in 2015. These ...
A key element of the region’s success is the reintroduction of periodic fire. Frequent, low-intensity fires have an overall positive effect on longleaf pine during its various life stages due to numerous adaptations that facilitate fire spread in addition to protective traits, such as a grass-...

(*The LiDAR study sites are marked on the map in green) 5 Malone Fire Tower One of the biggest legacies of the PRF is the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) that was established there. This system is used widely across Canada and globally to manage forest fires. Take ...
3.1. Forest age map The forest age map of Hunan Province in 2021 at 30-m spatial resolution (Fig. 2) integrates the disturbed forest map for 1986–2021 and the non-disturbed forest age map for 2019. It should be noted that we updated the non-disturbed forest age map for 2021 based...
intensity fires have become more common in recent years due to disruption of the historical fire regime64. In addition, forestry is a large industry in the province, with approximately 136,000 ha of the province harvested accounting for ~ 54 million cubic metres of volume of wood in 2021...
