Wildfires annually burn extensive areas in the Amazonia. Still, more is needed to know
about the complex combination of triggering socioeconomic factors and environmental …

Wildfire behaviour depends on complex interactions between fuels, topography and
weather, over a wide range of scales, being important for fire research and management …

Background Complex interactions between fuel structure and fire substantially affect fire
spread and spatial variability in fire behaviour. Heterogeneous arrangement of the fuel …

The hemi-boreal zone, marking North America's southern boreal forest boundary, has
evolved post-glaciation, hosting diverse ecosystems including mixed forests with savannas …

The growing threats posed by wildfires in Southern Europe are calling for the development

Background. Directly after snowmelt, northern grasslands typically have highly flammable
fuel-beds consisting of 100% grass litter. With green-up, the addition of high-moisture foliage …

Driving wind and slope of terrain can increase the rate of surface fire propagation. Previous
physical modelling under higher driving wind (3–12.5 m/s) on slopes (Innocent et al., IJWF …

Driven by increased human activities in rural-urban interfaces, the construction of residential
or commercial buildings in these areas is experiencing a notable growing trend. In …

Background Long-term farmland abandonment has increased fuel build-up in many Euro-
Mediterranean mountainous regions. The high fuel hazard in these landscapes, combined …

Over the years, the Cape Peninsula has seen a rise in the number of fires that occur
seasonally. This study aimed to investigate the extent of fire spread and associated …
