Forested environments are subject to large and high intensity unplanned fire events, owing
to, among other factors, the high quantity and complex structure of fuel in these …

Wildfires have been systematically studied from the early 1950s, with significant progress in
the applied computational methodologies during the 21st century. However, modern …

Abstract In recent years, Unoccupied Aircraft Systems (UAS) have been used to capture
information on forest structure in unprecedented detail. Pioneering studies in this field have …

Background Assessments of fuel (vegetation) are needed to predict fire behaviour. Broad
visual methods support quick in-field management decisions but can be too imprecise to …

Fuel hazard estimates are vital for the prediction of fire behaviour and planning fuel
treatment activities. Previous literature has highlighted the potential of Terrestrial Laser …

Environmental gradients or biophysical parameters such as climate, topography and
geology drive landscape-scale vegetation structure, species distribution and productivity …

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the causative agent of porcine enzootic pneumonia, a

Wildfire is a major threat to the environment, and this threat is aggravated by different
climatic and socioeconomic factors. The availability of detailed, reliable mapping and …

Characteristics describing below canopy vegetation are important for a range of forest
