Examining Atmospheric and Ecological Drivers of Wildfires, Modeling Wildfire Occurrence in the Southwest United States, and Using Atmospheric Sounding Observations to Verify National Weather Service Spot Forecasts
… examine atmospheric and ecological drivers of wildfire for the Southwest Area (SWA) (Arizona, New Mexico, west Texas, and Oklahoma panhandle) to better equip operational fire meteorologists and managers to make informed decisions on wildfire potential in this region. The verification analysis …

An evaluation of historical fire occurrence, drought, and the El Niño southern oscillation in the greater Cross Timbers region, U.S.A
A concern over wildfire occurrence, and its relationship to drought and a changing climate has brought increased focus to the interface between the public and fire. Multiple factors, including an increase in fuel loading from decades of continuous fire suppression, changes in land use and …

Improving integrated wildfire management in the Fynbos Biome of South Africa using information on synoptic-scale atmospheric features that promote wildfires
Wildfire, an essential element for the Fynbos Biome of South Africa, can be a threat to property and human life if it is not well managed. Despite many studies on the dynamics and management of wildfire, the role of the atmosphere in inducing regional circulations that promote widespread wildfire …

The effects of grass invasion and fire severity on Acacia koa regeneration
With spreading invasive grass increasing wildfire occurrence worldwide, there is a need for a better understanding of the relationships between native trees, fire, and grass so that land managers can increase their forested landscapes’ fire resilience. One challenge to this line of inquiry is that …

Fire-on-Fire Interactions in Three Large Wilderness Areas
Current knowledge about wildfire occurrence is not complete. Fire researchers and managers hold the assumption that previous wildfires affect subsequent wildfires; however, research regarding the interactions of large wildfires at their common boundaries is missing from the literature. This …

Spatiotemporal Distribution of Siberian Wildfires and Impacts from Meteorological and Climatic Factors
Wildfire is a major disturbance affecting carbon cycling, land–atmosphere energy exchange, and ecological security in high-latitude ecosystems. Siberia is one of the most fire-prone regions in the high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, and the spatiotemporal variability of its wildfire activity …
