Fire Response Strategies Open Coexistence Opportunities in Fire-prone Heathlands
Fire is known to be an important factor in many ecological systems [Whelan 1995]. In plant communities, the combined effects of opening up space, burning biomass, and releasing nutrients to the soil offer a variety changing environmental conditions. When burns are relatively frequent, and a stable burning regime has persisted on evolutionary time scales, many species develop specific responses ...
متن کاملVision-Statistical Characteristics of Fire and Spatial- Temporal Changes based on Fire Detection using Probabilistic Model
Automated fire detection is an active research topic in computer vision. In this paper, it proposes vision based approach for identifying fire in videos. Computer vision-based fire detection algorithms are usually applied in closed-circuit television surveillance scenarios with controlled background. This method can be applied not only to surveillance but also to automatic video classification ...
متن کاملEstimating the Fire Interval Distribution for Los Angeles County, California using Spatial-Temporal Fire History Data
In this paper a new method is described for estimating the fire interval distribution of a region using spatial-temporal fire history data. In Los Angeles County, California, detailed information on fires has been available through the use of geographic information systems (GIS) technology. The proposed estimator is applied to GIS data covering the years 1878–1996 and it is shown that fuel age ...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of avian and small-mammal response to fire severity and fire surrogate treatments in U.S. fire-prone forests.
Management in fire-prone ecosystems relies widely upon application of prescribed fire and/or fire surrogate (e.g., forest thinning) treatments to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem function. Recently, published literature examining wildlife response to fire and fire management has increased rapidly. However, none of this literature has been synthesized quantitatively, precluding assessment of ...
متن کاملThe Carbon Conundrum — Fire and Fuel Management in Fire-prone Forests
Natural resource managers face a conundrum: when do fire management activities increase sources or sinks of greenhouse gases? This extension note describes forest carbon (C) dynamics and approaches for dealing with carbon stocks and flows while managing for fire and a full range of natural resource values. In addressing climate change, we need to understand the relationships between fire manage...
