A fact often overlooked is that large-scale wildfires, although occurring infrequently, are
responsible for the overwhelming majority of fire-related suppression costs, economic …

Abstract Purpose of Review The search for causal mechanisms in fire ecology has been
slow to progress for two main reasons. First, many fire ecology investigations often occur …

The realm of wildland fire science encompasses both wild and prescribed fires. Most of the
research in the broader field has focused on wildfires, however, despite the prevalence of …

Fire is an integral component of ecosystems globally and a tool that humans have
harnessed for millennia. Altered fire regimes are a fundamental cause and consequence of …

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 …

The FireFlux II experiment was conducted in a tall grass prairie located in south-east Texas
on 30 January 2013 under a regional burn ban and high fire danger conditions. The goal of …

The time-mean and time-varying smoke and velocity structure of a wildfire convective plume
is examined using a high-resolution scanning Doppler lidar. The mean plume is shown to …

The lack of independent, quality-assured field data prevents scientists from effectively
evaluating and advancing wildland fire models. To rectify this, scientists and technicians …

With fuel moisture content and slope, wind velocity (UW) is one of the major physical
parameters that most affects the behaviour of wildland fires. The aim of this short paper was …

In recent years, forest fires have become an important issue in Central Europe. To model the
probability of the occurrence of forest fires in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship of Poland …
