Common disturbances include timber harvesting and fires, which are slightly less common than in other forested regions in Alberta. Ecology varies from mesic to wetland areas and features some of the most productive timber-producing areas in Alberta [28]. Figure 1. Map of the Slave Lake study ...

Rain is in the forecast tomorrow for the southern half of the region. Ontario has increased the maximum fines for individuals and corporations for starting forest fires. Increased Fines for Starting a Forest Fire Planning to have a campfire? Here are some tips on how to safely enjoy your ...
Forest fires exhibit considerable spatial heterogeneity with respect to fire severity with obvious implications for carbon losses to the atmosphere, and yet fire severity is poorly quantified at the landscape level. In this study we evaluated the impacts of including estimates of fire severity on ...
In a study of communities impacted by drought in the forest zone of Cameroon, Bele et al. (2013b) identified adaptive strategies such as community-created firebreaks to protect their forests and farms from forest fires, the culture of maize and other vegetables in dried swamps, diversifying inc...
In Ontario, for example, the Pulpwood Conservation Act of 1929 required all pulpwood companies to plan their future management on a sustained yield basis. Sustained yield forestry is one of the dominant themes in tropical forest management as well, although the complexity of these forests has ...
These models are more computationally and operationally complex than empirical models because they require temporally and spatially resolved information about fires, fuels, and meteorological conditions. One strength of deterministic models is their ability to forecast surface PM2.5 concentrations at high ...
A long short-term memory convolutional neural network model, in combination with the gray wolf optimization algorithm, was introduced by Wang et al. [15] to forecast the spread of fires using infrared images captured by UAVs. This approach yields relatively precise predictions in a timely manner,...
