As climate change makes wildfires more frequent, scientists are racing to understand how animals suffer.
There are three weather ingredients that can affect wildfires: Temperature Wind Moisture As mentioned before, temperature affects the sparking of wildfires, because heat is one of the three pillars of the fire triangle. The sticks, trees and underbrush on the ground receive radiant heat from the ...
short-term exposure, given the previously intermittent and infrequent nature of wildfires. Research on wildfire smoke reflects this, with most studies focused on the influence of exposure over days to weeks on acute health outcomes...
which in turn are likely to affect their immune systems and exposure to pathogens. However, little work has yet been conducted on the effects of wildfires on wildlife disease. This research gap is rapidly growing in importance because wildfires are becoming globally more common and more severe,...
Temperature: The ambient temperature can affect the rate of decomposition, and up to a point, increasing temperature makes enzymatic processes much snappier. The process continues until all that's left of the insect is its hard exoskeleton. (Unlike humans and other vertebrates, who have an intern...
How does the ozone layer affect life on Earth? How do CFCs cause the ozone layer to break down? How do wildfires affect the ozone layer? How does burning fossil fuels affect the ozone layer? How do volcanic eruptions affect the ozone layer?
Fire, smoke, and ash–always an unwelcome prelude to harvest. So, how do wildfires affect wine? It’s that time of the year again in the West. Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, and western Canada are all getting hit hard by late summer wildfires. Locals are calling it “The Fifth...
How is plant reproduction benefited by wildfires? What is the difference between the replacement fertility rate (RFR) and the total fertility rate (TFR)? How can genetic testing be beneficial, and how far should we take it? What is a CAFO? How do these operations benefit the community? Desc...
2.We already know that salt can lead to heart disease.But could it also affect our mind?Scientists found that a high-salt diet caused cognitive impairments in mice and it could produce the same effect on humans. Costantino Iadecola,director of the Feil Family Brain and Mind Research the Ins...
This study examines the convergence between traditional and scientific knowledge regarding the use of fire and its potential to trigger wildfires, with possible impacts on ecosystems and human well-being. The ... Authors:Vinicio Carrión-Paladines, Liliana Correa-Quezada, Huayra Valdiviezo Malo, Jonatha...
