Forest fires are emitting substantial amounts of greenhouse gases and particulate matter into the atmosphere than assumed in state climate targets. It can play an important role in combustible environments, such as shrublands, grasslands, and forests, and contribute to climate change. Thus, forest fire, and climate change is intertwined concepts. A...
peer reviewed / Human-induced fire is one of the most important determinants of forest cover and change in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Yet its impact on forest cover and forest cover change remains unclear, as fires in Africa generally do not spread over very large area. This is particularly the case in the Democratic Republic of...

Disturbances such as fire play a critical role in forest ecosystems. However, anthropogenic fires can profoundly impact forests to the point of destabilizing ecosystems. In addition, fires have legacy effects on environments which may be observed in forests for decades after the fire is extinguished. Thus, understanding the extent of historic fires...

Like other ecosystems, burnt peatlands will run into natural regeneration, characterized by pioneer plants’ presence as a succession process guard. However, annual burnt peatlands can complicate vegetation growth, including the pioneer's presence. Besides that, it is unknown what kind of grow pioneers are, so the research aims to find out the pione...
Research into pyrogenic carbon emissions in the temperate belt of the Russian Federation has traditionally focused on the impact of forest fires. Nevertheless, ecosystems in which wildfires also make a significant contribution to anthropogenic CO2 emissions are poorly studied. We evaluated the carbon emissions of fires in the non-forest ecosystems ...
Although Aerial Vehicle images are a viable tool for observing large-scale patterns of fires and their impacts, its application is limited by the complex optical georeferencing procedure due to the lack of distinctive visual features in forest environments. For this reason, an exploratory study on rough and flat terrains was conducted to use and va...
Results are presented from the 2021 test run of active fire detection using the Visual Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument, that is currently onboard the polar satellites Suomi-NPP and NOAA-20. The test is performed by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency and the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, in cooperation w...

本研究旨在探讨女性在灾害中所做的工作 以及男性和女性如何看待并讨论女性的工作。这些模式在火灾后流传的故事中得到了证明。这项研究基于对参与瑞典森林大火的31名志愿者的回顾性采访 重点关注了女性在火灾期间支持工作的故事。结果表明 当女性遵循传统规范时 她们会受到赞扬 但当她们执行被认为是男性编码的任务时 她们会遭到诋毁。这些故事揭示了关于女性的规范。通过关注女性的年龄和衣着 直接或间接地质疑她们的能力和权威。这些规范也可以通过描述女性在做她们应该做的事情时所受到的积极关注而体现出来。.

Understanding fire regimes is central to fire management. In our study, we analyzed the fire weather and forest fire regime of China using fire data from satellite remote sensing and statistics from 2000 to 2020. The fire weather index system was calculated from observed weather data for 2007 to 2017. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, we ...
Wildland fires, increasing in recent decades in the Mediterranean region due to climate change, can contribute to PM levels and composition. This study aimed to investigate biological effects of PM2.5 (Ø
