Quantifying Fire Cycle from Dendroecological Records Using Survival Analyses
Quantifying fire regimes in the boreal forest ecosystem is crucial for understanding the past and present dynamics, as well as for predicting its future dynamics. Survival analyses have often been used to estimate the fire cycle in eastern Canada because they make it possible to take into account the censored information that is made prevalent by the typically long fire return intervals and the...
متن کاملQuantifying the threshold frost hardiness for over-wintering survival of wheat in Iran, using simulation
The value of frost tolerance in wheat is increased with decreasing the temperature in late autumn and/or early winter (phase I, acclimation), then shows plateau state for a period with the coldest temperature (II), finally appears to decrease with warming the temperature (III, de-acclimation). This study was aimed to determine the threshold frost hardiness in wheat for avoiding ...
متن کاملReconstructing Fire Records from Ground-Based Routine Aerosol Monitoring
Long-term fire records are important to understanding the trend of biomass burning and its interactions with air quality and climate at regional and global scales. Traditionally, such data have been compiled from ground surveys or satellite remote sensing. To obtain aerosol information during a fire event to use in analyzing air quality, we propose a new method of developing a long-term fire re...
متن کاملQuantifying Extinction Probabilities from Sighting Records: Inference and Uncertainties
Methods are needed to estimate the probability that a population is extinct, whether to underpin decisions regarding the continuation of a invasive species eradication program, or to decide whether further searches for a rare and endangered species could be warranted. Current models for inferring extinction probability based on sighting data typically assume a constant or declining sighting rat...
متن کاملFire history in western Patagonia from paired tree-ring fire-scar and charcoal records
Fire history reconstructions are typically based on tree ages and tree-ring fire scars or on charcoal in sedimentary records from lakes or bogs, but rarely on both. In this study of fire history in western Patagonia (47–48 S) in southern South America (SSA) we compared three sedimentary charcoal records collected in bogs with tree-ring firescar data collected at 13 nearby sample sites. We exami...
