Global change has been accompanied by recent increases in the frequency and intensity of
various ecological disturbances (eg, fires, floods, cyclones), both natural and anthropogenic …

Smoldering combustion is the slow, low temperature, flameless burning of porous fuels and
is the most persistent type of combustion phenomena. It is especially common in porous …

Coarse woody debris serves many functions in forest ecosystem processes and has
important implications for fire management as it affects air quality, soil heating and carbon …

Smouldering is the slow, low-temperature, flameless form of combustion of a condensed
fuel. It poses safety and environmental hazards and allows novel technological application …

This work presents the dynamics of fire occurrences, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,
forest clearing, and degradation in the Brazilian Amazon during the period 2006–2019 …

A kinetic model of smouldering of pine wood is determined by thermo-gravimetric analysis
(TGA), describing the reactions of wood pyrolysis, wood oxidation and char oxidation …

Fuel consumption specifies the amount of vegetative biomass consumed during wildland
fire. It is a two-stage process of pyrolysis and combustion that occurs simultaneously and at …

Smouldering, a slow, persistent, and flameless form of combustion has only been observed
in few fire experiments of mass timber compartments. Smouldering is a phenomenon well …

This chapter reviews the utilization of self-sustaining smouldering combustion as a treatment
for solid or liquid waste, embedded in a porous matrix. Smouldering has been identified as …

In-situ X-ray computed tomography (XCT) imaging is employed to investigate the smoldering
dynamics of biomass at the sub-millimeter scale. This technique provides simultaneous and …
