Fire, Fuel Composition and Resilience Threshold in Subalpine Ecosystem
BACKGROUND Forecasting the effects of global changes on high altitude ecosystems requires an understanding of the long-term relationships between biota and forcing factors to identify resilience thresholds. Fire is a crucial forcing factor: both fuel build-up from land-abandonment in European mountains, and more droughts linked to global warming are likely to increase fire risks. METHODS To a...
متن کاملThe Keystone Fire Brigade 2003
The Keystone Fire Brigade is a robotic rescue team that has previously competed in competitions at Robocup (Fukuoka, 2002; Padua 2003), AAAI (Edmonton, 2002), and IJCAI (Acapulco, 2003). The key elements of our approach are an emphasis on vision, a fully autonomy solution, and an implementation on inexpensive robot bases. This paper describes the version of the team that competed at IJCAI in 20...

متن کاملWRF-Fire Simulation of Lateral Fire Spread in the Bendora Fire on 18 January 2003
On the afternoon of 18 January 2003, a number of separate fires located to the west of Canberra, Australia, began major runs under extreme fire weather conditions, and impacted upon the city. These events were well documented by a range of instruments, including a multispectral line-scanning instrument attached to an aircraft. Analysis of the data collected revealed that a number of the fires h...
متن کاملMixed-severity fire regimes: lessons and hypotheses from the Klamath-Siskiyou Ecoregion
Although mixed-severity fires are among the most widespread disturbances influencing western North American forests, they remain the least understood. A major question is the degree to which mixed-severity fire regimes are simply an ecological intermediate between lowand high-severity fire regimes, versus a unique disturbance regime with distinct properties. The Klamath-Siskiyou Mountains of so...
