Global warming is expected to alter wildfire potential and fire season severity, but the magnitude and location of change is still unclear. Here, we show that climate largely determines present fire-prone regions and their fire season. We categorize thes
Here, we show that fire severity, geologic substrate, and ecosystem type influence landscape-scale production of Cr(VI) in particulates during recent wildfires. We find that Cr(VI) concentrations were highest in soils derived from metal-rich geologies, including (ultra)mafic rocks and their metam...

The most common stated objective of fuel breaks is to facilitate safe, efficient fire suppression actions and reduce the size and intensity of wildland fires.Abstract Fuel breaks for wildland fire management a moat or a drawbridge for ecosystem fire restoration (th Symposium on Fire and Forest ...
These fuels are representative of the Mediterranean ecosystem and have very different shapes and surface-to-volume ratios. Calorimetry was performed using the FM-global fire propagation apparatus (FPA). To better understand the effects of transport in the fuel beds, the standard sample holder was ...
with fire presence as an area affected by wildfire. We used the MODIS Active Fire dataset because it provides the longest consistent spatially explicit global time series information of fire. However, MODIS active fire data have some limitations, for example caused by the wide sensor swath of 2...
