Evaluating dNBR and CBI for Fire Severity Estimation in Fennoscandian Boreal Surface Fires
Fire severity—the magnitude of ecological change induced by fire—plays a critical role in shaping post-fire recovery dynamics, carbon cycling, and forest management decisions. In Fennoscandian boreal forests, however, accurate severity estimation using remote sensing remains challenging due to …

Long-term Fuel and Vegetation Responses to Mechanical Mastication in northern California and southern Oregon
… land use and changes in climate have altered fire behavior and severity in fire-prone ecosystems of western North America. A variety of fuels treatments are used to abate fire hazard, restore ecosystem processes, and increase forest resilience. Mechanical fuels treatments are increasingly used …

The 2006 Warm Fire: effects on habitat and prey species of the northern goshawk
Reductions in the frequency of fire in Southwestern ponderosa pine and mixed-conifer forests since initiation of forest management early in 20th century changed the composition and structure of the forest habitats of the northern goshawks (Accipiter gentilis), a food-limited species of conservation …

Fire, climate, and forest structure in ponderosa pine forests of the Black Hills
… in ponderosa pine forests is that frequent surface fires maintained open, low-density forest stands composted primarily of old, large trees. However, this model may not apply uniformly to ponderosa pine forests in the Black Hills of southwestern South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming. …

The use of GIS for the development of a fully embedded predictive fire model
Fire is very important for maintaining balance in the ecosystems and is used by fire management across the world to regulate growth of vegetation in natural conservation areas. However, improper management of fire may lead to hazardous behaviour. Fire modelling tools are implemented to provide fire …
