Three-dimensional wildland fuel mapping with remote sensing and machine learning
… affected by climate, weather, topography, and fuel. The amount and arrangement of fuels are of particular interest because they can be directly controlled by managers to manage present-day fire risk and influence future response to fire. Existing fuel maps have a coarse resolution that limits …

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
Wildland fuel loading estimates are utilized by natural resource managers today for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to the approximation of fire behavior and potential fire effects. Standing and dead trees, downed woody material, litter (Oi Horizon), and duff (Oe+Oa Horizons) …

Building a better burn: Fuel characterization and fire effects in silvicultural systems in the southern United States
… influenced by the arrangement and composition of wildland fuels, which influence wildland fire behavior and effects. Fire regime alterations influence shifts in stand dynamics via multiple processes, including tree mortality and or regeneration. Over time, these alterations to stand composition …

SEASONAL FLAMMABILITY COMPARISONS OF NATIVE AND EXOTIC PLANTS IN THE POST OAK SAVANNAH, BLACKLAND PRAIRIE, AND PINEYWOODS ECOREGIONS OF TEXAS
… insight into the fundamental thermal behavior of wildland fuels can aid in fire behavior prediction and development of fire-resistant plant lists. This study focused on estimating seasonal and regional flammability characteristics of five evergreen species: yaupon (<em>Ilex vomitoria</em>), …
