The wildland-urban interface in the United States
Radeloff, Hammer, Stewart, Fried, Holcomb, McKeefry
The wildland-urban interface (WUI) is the area where houses meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland vegetation. The WUI is thus a focal area for human-environment conflicts, such as the destruction of homes by wildfires, habitat fragmentation…
