One of the primary variables affecting ignition and spread of wildfire is fuel moisture content
(FMC). Live FMC (LFMC) is responsive to long term climate and plant adaptations to …

In recent years, advances in computational power have led to an increase in attempts to
model the behaviour of wildland fires and to simulate their spread across landscape. The …

Abstract Aim The aims were:(1) to identify the environmental drivers of interannual variation
in wildfire extent and severity;(2) to examine temporal trends in climatic potential for large …

The 7 February 2009 wildfires in south-eastern Australia burned over 450,000 ha and
resulted in 173 human fatalities. The Kilmore East fire was the most significant of these fires …

The worldwide “wildfire” problem is headlined by the loss of human lives and homes, but it
applies generally to any adverse effects of unplanned fires, as events or regimes, on a wide …

Fire is pivotal to the functioning of ecosystems in Australia, affecting the distribution and
abundance of the continent's unique and highly diverse range of plants and animals …

Modified, more severe fire regimes are developing in the Mediterranean basin as a result of
changes in land use and climate. Current fire management privileges fire suppression and …

Fire has been part of the natural environment of south-eastern Australia for tens of millions of
years. Aboriginal people used fire selectively, with skill, for many reasons. The removal of …

Many forest types globally have been subject to an increase in the frequency of, and area
burnt by, high‐severity wildfire. Here we explore the role that previous disturbance has …

This paper describes the development of two empirical models to predict the potential
spread of an established line of fire in dry eucalypt forest with a shrubby understorey. These …
