Wildfire plays an important role in ecosystem dynamics, land management, and global
processes. Understanding the dynamics associated with wildfire, such as risks, spatial …

Research into post-wildfire effects began in the United States more than 70years ago and
only later extended to other parts of the world. Post-wildfire responses are typically transient …

Fire transforms fuels (ie biomass, necromass, soil organic matter) into materials with different
chemical and physical properties. One of these materials is ash, which is the particulate …

Several recent papers have suggested replacing the terminology of fire intensity and fire
severity. Part of the problem with fire intensity is that it is sometimes used incorrectly to …

Deciphering significant sedimentological processes from a set of sediment samples is an
important step in reconstructing environmental changes. One approach going beyond …

Background Increases in fire activity and changes in fire regimes have been documented in
recent decades across the western United States. Climate change is expected to continue to …

Hyperspectral sensors enable the study of the chemical properties of scene materials
remotely for the purpose of identification, detection, and chemical composition analysis of …

Fire is a widespread Earth system process with important carbon and climate feedbacks.
Multispectral remote sensing has enabled mapping of global spatiotemporal patterns of fire …

Wildland fires dramatically affect forest ecosystems, altering the loss of their biodiversity and
their sustainability. In addition, they have a strong impact on the global carbon balance and …

Comprehensive assessment of ecological change after fires have burned forests and
rangelands is important if we are to understand, predict and measure fire effects. We …
