Wildlife and Fire: Perspectives and Effects
Grassmick, Sanderlin, Tingley
In January, the Southwest Fire Science Consortium, USDA Forest Service, Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Center, and many other partners hosted a two-day workshop on the intersection of wildlife and fire. Based on the needs identified in the…

BARA: cellular automata simulation of multidimensional smouldering in peat with horizontally varying moisture contents
Purnomo, Christensen, Fernandez-Anez, Rein
Background: Smouldering peatland wildfires can last for months and create a positive feedback for climate change. These flameless, slow-burning fires spread horizontally and vertically and are strongly influenced by peat moisture content. Most…

Current and future patterns of global wildfire based on deep neural networks
Zhang, Wang, Yang, Liu
Global climate change and extreme weather has a profound impact on wildfire, and it is of great importance to explore wildfire patterns in the context of global climate change for wildfire prevention and management. In this paper, a wildfire spatial…

Assessing changes in global fire regimes
Sayedi
Background: The global human footprint has fundamentally altered wildfire regimes, creating serious consequences for human health, biodiversity, and climate. However, it remains difficult to project how long-term interactions among land use,…

Climate limits vegetation green-up more than slope, soil erodibility, and immediate precipitation following high-severity wildfire
Crockett, Hurteau
Background: In the southwestern United States, post-fire vegetation recovery is increasingly variable in forest burned at high severity. Many factors, including temperature, drought, and erosion, can reduce post-fire vegetation recovery rates. Here…
