Key message Wildfire danger and burnt areas should increase over the century in southern
Europe, owing to climate warming. Fire-prone area expansion to the north and to …

Purpose This paper reviews the most recent literature related to the use of remote sensing
(RS) data in wildland fire management. Recent Findings Studies dealing with pre-fire …

The realm of wildland fire science encompasses both wild and prescribed fires. Most of the
research in the broader field has focused on wildfires, however, despite the prevalence of …

Fire is an integral component of ecosystems globally and a tool that humans have
harnessed for millennia. Altered fire regimes are a fundamental cause and consequence of …

Wildfires are a global crisis, but current fire models fail to capture vegetation response to
changing climate. With drought and elevated temperature increasing the importance of …

This paper presents a review of concepts related to wildfire risk assessment, including the
determination of fire ignition and propagation (fire danger), the extent to which fire may …

Wildland fire, which includes both planned (prescribed fire) and unplanned (wildfire) fires, is
an important component of many ecosystems. During wildland fires, low heating rate …

Globally, fire regimes are being altered by changing climatic conditions. New fire regimes
have the potential to drive species extinctions and cause ecosystem state changes, with a …

Abstract Live Fuel Moisture Content (LFMC) is a critical variable affecting fire ignition,
behavior and severity in many ecosystems. Although the use of meteorological drought …

Prescribed (ie, controlled) burning is a common practice used in many vegetation types in
the world to accomplish a wide range of land management objectives including wildfire risk …
