The increasing global concern about wildfires, mostly caused by people, has triggered the
development of human-caused fire occurrence models in many countries. The premise is …

Risk analysis evolved out of the need to make decisions concerning highly stochastic
events, and is well suited to analyse the timing, location and potential effects of wildfires …

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 …

This simulation research was conducted in order to develop a large-fire risk assessment
system for the contiguous land area of the United States. The modeling system was applied …

Understanding the spatial patterns of fire occurrence and its response to climate change is
vital to fire risk mitigation and vegetation management. Focusing on boreal forests in …

Wildland fire scientists and land managers working in fire-prone areas require spatial
estimates of wildfire potential. To fulfill this need, a simulation-modelling approach was …

As wildland fire activity continues to surge across the western US, it is increasingly important
that we understand and quantify the environmental drivers of fire and how they vary across …

Despite the ubiquity of invasive organisms and their often deleterious effects on native flora
and fauna, the consequences of biological invasions for human health and the ecological …

Fire size and fire severity are two crucial parameters for describing fire regimes that reflect
spatial heterogeneities of fire spread behavior and its interaction with the environment …

Identifying the relative importance of human and environmental drivers on fire occurrence in
different regions and scales is critical for a sound fire management. Nevertheless, studies …
