Investigating intended evacuation from wildfires in the wildland-urban interface: application of a bivariate probit model

With evidence of increasing wildfire risks in wildland-urban interface zones in the U.S. West and elsewhere, understanding intended evacuation behavior is a growing issue for community planners. This research investigates intended evacuation behavior due to wildfire risks, using…

Seed germination of herbaceous and woody species of the Sudanian savanna-woodland in response to heat shock and smoke

Fire-related cues (smoke and heat) contribute largely to changes in vegetation communities in fire prone habitats. The germination responses of seeds of species from Combretaceae, Leguminosae and Poaceae to smoke, heat or their interaction were examined. Half of the seed batch…
