Forecasting fire risk with machine learning and dynamic information derived from satellite vegetation index time-series
Fire risk mapping–mapping the probability of fire occurrence and spread–is essential for pre-
fire management as well as for efficient firefighting efforts. Most fire risk maps are generated …

Mid-term and scaling effects of forest residue mulching on post-fire runoff and soil erosion
Mulching is an effective post-fire soil erosion mitigation treatment. Experiments with forest
residue mulch have demonstrated that it increased ground cover to 70% and reduced runoff …
