Forested environments are subject to large and high intensity unplanned fire events, owing
to, among other factors, the high quantity and complex structure of fuel in these …

Understanding fire is essential to improving forest management strategies. More specifically,
an accurate knowledge of the spatial distribution of fuels is critical when analyzing …

Surface fuel information is an essential input for models of fire behaviour and fire effects.
However, spatially explicit, continuous information on surface fuel loads and fuelbed depth …

Within the realms of both wildland and prescribed fire, an understanding of how fire severity
and forest structure interact is critical for improving fuels treatment effectiveness, quantifying …

Improved forest management plans require a better understanding of wildfire risk and
behavior to enhance the conservation of biodiversity and plan effective risk mitigation …

Improved fire management of savannas and open woodlands requires better understanding
of the fundamental connection between fuel heterogeneity, variation in fire behaviour and …

Space and airborne sensors have been used to map area burned, assess characteristics of
active fires, and characterize post-fire ecological effects. Confusion about fire intensity, fire …

Wildfire plays an important role in ecosystem dynamics, land management, and global
processes. Understanding the dynamics associated with wildfire, such as risks, spatial …

The distribution of fuels is recognised as a key driver of wildland fire behaviour. However,
our understanding of how fuel density heterogeneity affects fire behaviour is limited because …

Landscape fires show large variability in the amount of biomass or fuel consumed per unit
area burned. Fuel consumption (FC) depends on the biomass available to burn and the …
