Land cover, more than monthly fire weather, drives fire-size distribution in Southern Québec forests: Implications for fire risk management
Fire activity in North American forests is expected to increase substantially with climate change. This would represent a growing risk to human settlements and industrial infrastructure proximal to forests, and to the forest products industry. We modelled fire size distributions in southern Québec as functions of fire weather and land cover, thus explicitly integrating some of the biotic intera...
متن کاملClimate, landowner residency, and land cover predict local scale fire activity in the Western Amazon
The incidence of escaped agricultural fire has recently been increasing in the Western Amazon, driven by climate variability, land use change, and changes in patterns of residency and land occupation. Preventing and mitigating the negative impacts of fire in the Amazon require a comprehensive understanding not only of what the drivers of fire activity are, but also how these drivers interact an...
متن کاملLand cover change interacts with drought severity to change fire regimes in Western Amazonia.
Fire is becoming a pervasive driver of environmental change in Amazonia and is expected to intensify, given projected reductions in precipitation and forest cover. Understanding of the influence of post-deforestation land cover change on fires in Amazonia is limited, even though fires in cleared lands constitute a threat for ecosystems, agriculture, and human health. We used MODIS satellite dat...
متن کاملLand cover validation game
Land cover data constitutes highly useful information to monitor the extension and status of land resources, hence it has been realized how important it is to have accurate land cover data. Here, an interactive WebGIS is built in order to validate GlobeLand30 global land cover data. The Game with a Purpose (GWAP) human-based computation technique is adopted. The system is based on crowdsourcing...
متن کاملDo we need land-cover data to model species distributions in Europe?
It is widely accepted that distributions of plants and animals are broadly constrained by their physiological tolerances to climatic factors (Woodward, 1987, 1990). This generalization is held to be true for species at a variety of spatial scales (Whittaker et al., 2001), although there is a wide recognition that the importance of climate is best expressed at large spatial scales (Rahbek & Grav...
