To control and use wildland fires safely and effectively depends on creditable assessments
of fire potential, including the propensity for crowning in conifer forests. Simulation studies …

Declining forest health attributed to associations between extensive bark beetle-caused tree
mortality, accumulations of hazardous fuels, wildfire, and climate change have catalyzed …

The degree of accuracy in model predictions of rate of spread in wildland fires is dependent
on the model's applicability to a given situation, the validity of the model's relationships, and …

Wildland fires have an irreplaceable role in sustaining many of our forests, shrublands and
grasslands. They can be used as controlled burns or occur as free-burning wildfires, and …

Fire safety in urban areas is gaining more attention along with the rapid development of
urbanization and the increasing complexity of urban structures. Many fire spread models …

Reliable and accurate models of the speed of a wildfire front as it moves across the
landscape are essential for the timely prediction of its propagation, to devise suitable …

Eucalypts, especially blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus), have been extensively planted in
Portugal and nowadays dominate most of its forest landscapes. Large-scale forestation …

Understanding the spatial pattern of fire is essential for Mediterranean vegetation
management. Fire-risk maps are typically constructed at coarse resolutions using vegetation …

Key message The collective analysis of a relatively large number of wildfire observations
documented in conifer forests, dry eucalypt forests and temperate shrublands revealed that …

Hypotheses that megafires, very large, high‐impact fires, are caused by either climate effects
such as drought or fuel accumulation due to fire exclusion with accompanying changes to …
