Ornament is dangerous : a wildfire hazard center for Los Angeles
There is no such thing as an unadorned building. While the the role and relevance of ornament in architecture has been criticized for centuries, its position has been, for the most part, supported as essential to architecture. In his seminal work On the Art of Building in Ten Books, Alberti wrote, …

Heterogeneity of Stand Structure, Fuels, and Wildfire Hazard in Dry and Moist Old-Growth Ponderosa Pine Forests: Case Studies from Western Montana
… ecological function and remediate catastrophic wildfire hazards in old-growth ponderosa pine stands throughout the western United States. However, stand heterogeneity has been inadequately addressed in restoration and fuel treatment planning. In response, we analyzed two old-growth ponderosa …

Long-term Effects of Prescribed Fire and Fire Surrogate Treatments on Southern Appalachian Mountain Forest Soil Chemistry
As a response to rising wildfire hazard and forest structure and composition concerns, the National Fire and Fire Surrogate Study was established in 2000 to determine how fuel reduction and ecosystem restoration techniques might affect ecosystem properties and processes across the United States. …

Deadwood Dynamics: A Case Study at Prince William Forest Park, Virginia
… amount and structure may influence potential wildfire hazard by altering combustible DWM mass and creating fuel structures that increase fire intensity and spread. Deadwood is also critical to carbon storage and nutrient cycling and may vary based upon the size classes of individual deadwood …

Soil burn severity and climatic analysis of post-wildfire soil hydraulic properties from across the western continental United States
… development and generation of rainfall-runoff hazards like flash flooding and debris flows in recently burned areas. However, infiltration capacity is spatially and temporally variable, which makes its prediction challenging, particularly in burned environments. The extent of fire-prone areas …

A Fire Simulation Model for Heterogeneous Environments Using the Level Set Method
<p>Wildfire hazard and its destructive consequences have become a growing issue around the world especially in the context of global warming. An effective and efficient fire simulation model will make it possible to predict the fire spread and assist firefighters in the process of controlling the …

Wildland fuel loading estimates along a gradient of forest cover types and landscape factors in Harpers Ferry National Historic Park, West Virginia and Rock Creek Park, Virginia, USA
… They have also vocalized concern about potential wildfire hazard in these forests. Studies of these essential ecosystem components in the eastern United States suggest that downed woody material, litter, and duff accumulation may be significantly related to landform and edaphic factors. …
