Earth science will be a breeze once you master these essential terms. This comprehensive vocabulary list covers core topics like weather and climate, natural disasters, ecology and conservation, plate tectonics, types of rock, the geologic time scale, oceanography, and more. Best of all, you can...
Summary Given the wide range of definitions of and approaches to wildfire residuals in the scientific literature, confusion can exist in terms of terminology and how the reported findings depend on that terminology. The first goal of this chapter is to arrive at robust and generic definitions for...
Wildfire, uncontrolled fire in a forest, grassland, brushland, or cropland. The terms forest fire, brush fire, etc., may be used to describe specific types of wildfires; their usage varies according to the characteristics of the fire and the region in wh
The underlying logic and biophysical basis of definitions of defensible space has received surprisingly limited investigation. Reviews on the defensible space are scarce and focus predominantly on house design, construction building regulations58,59, or framing it as a core component mitigation on the br...
Extraordinary Wildfire Events Most of the two million wildfire events [1] registered every year worldwide are small in terms of burnt area. However, some become very large incidents that have significant ecological and socio-economic impacts. Examples of the latter include events in China 1987; ...
In terms of the approaches used to isolate wildfire-specific PM2.5, when comparing the imputation and seasonal interpolation estimates, we find that the latter might yield larger values in some instances since the non-smoke background considers a seasonal median and thus can be lower than the ...
Hence, we call for the common use of terms and the avoidance of geographical jargon in scientific literature. Importantly, this call for standardization does not imply a diminishment of terminological diversity. Oversimplification of the issue leads to communication with a broader audience, whereas ...
Bushfires occur during the hot, dry season, making them highly predictable in terms of seasonality. Whereas, wildfires can be more variable, influenced by local weather conditions and human activities across different continents. 7 The term "bushfire" is commonly used in Australian English to descri...

We searched peer-reviewed publications on the topic of wildfire smoke and cardiovascular health covering the period between 1980 and 2020. Terms including “forest fire smoke”, “wildfire smoke”, “biomass smoke”, “wildland fire smoke”, “peat fire smoke”, “wood smoke”, and “prescribed...
