One of the primary variables affecting ignition and spread of wildfire is fuel moisture content
(FMC). Live FMC (LFMC) is responsive to long term climate and plant adaptations to …

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

Fire occurrence, which results from the presence of an ignition source and the conditions for
a fire to spread, is an essential component of fire risk assessment. In this paper, we present …

Increasing wildfire activity in recent decades, partially related to extended droughts, along
with concern over potential impacts of future climate change on fire activity has resulted in …

Fires contribute substantial emissions of trace gases and particles to the atmosphere. These
emissions can impact air quality and even climate. We have developed a modeling …

We present a probability-based model for estimating fire risk. Risk is defined using three
probabilities: the probability of fire occurrence; the conditional probability of a large fire given …

The work of conservation biology has grown from local studies of single species into a
discipline concerned with mapping and managing biodiversity on a global scale. Remote …

Understanding fire is essential to improving forest management strategies. More specifically,
an accurate knowledge of the spatial distribution of fuels is critical when analyzing …

The relations between disturbance regime and landscape patterns have been developed
from a theoretical perspective, but few studies have tested these relations when forces …
