Uncertainty and risk in wildland fire management: a review

MP Thompson, DE Calkin - Journal of environmental management, 2011 - Elsevier
Wildland fire management is subject to manifold sources of uncertainty. Beyond the
unpredictability of wildfire behavior, uncertainty stems from inaccurate/missing data, limited …

Simulating dynamic and mixed-severity fire regimes: a process-based fire extension for LANDIS-II

BR Sturtevant, RM Scheller, BR Miranda… - Ecological …, 2009 - Elsevier
Fire regimes result from reciprocal interactions between vegetation and fire that may be
further affected by other disturbances, including climate, landform, and terrain. In this paper …
