FOREST fires -- Prevention & controlAIRTANKERS (Forest fire control)FOREST firesAERONAUTICS in forest fire controlThe Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) operates a fleet of nine CL-215 airtankers for forest fire control. The aircraft are based at a small number of airpor...
As a result, fires can be more effectively contained, limiting the amount of area affected, which can keep communities safe and reduce the economic impact of wildfires. Forest fire prevention is another key part of reducing the impact of wildfires. The CFFDRS can calculate when fire danger ...
This paper presents a quantitative assessment of adaptation options in the context of forest fires in Europe under projected climate change. A standalone fire model (SFM) based on a state-of-the-art large-scale forest fire modelling algorithm is used to explore fuel removal through prescribed bur...
Considering that the formulation of fire danger index helps in the planning of prevention and combat activities, revealing, in advance, the probability of occurrence and spread of forest fires. This work aimed to adjust and to validate the Formula de Monte Alegre for areas of eucalypt cultivation...

in perturbated sites can promote reforestation and may provide economic incentives. These authors suggest that reforestation with T. melanosporum-inoculated seedlings can be successful after forest fires and they confirm the competitiveness of this fungus within the ectomycorrhizal community in these soils...
