Wildfres afect countries worldwide as global warming increases the probability of their appearance. Monitoring vast areas of forests can be challenging due to the lack of resources and information. Additionally, early de...

Wildfires are natural hazards that threaten ecosystems, communities, and economies, and they have shown a significant increase in frequency and intensity in recent years. Accurate wildfire spread prediction is critical f...

Ferocious wildfires have already destroyed more than one million hectares this year in the Corrientes province of Argentina — including more than half of Iberá National Park, where a crucial rewilding project is under...

Wildfires are among the most destructive natural disasters and pose significant risks to ecosystems, infrastructure, and human lives. This study focuses on wildfire susceptibility mapping in Los Angeles County, a region ...

The increasing frequency and severity of wildfires necessitates advanced methods for effective surveillance and management, as traditional ground-based techniques often struggle to adapt to rapidly changing fire behavior...

In 2023, Canada experienced its most severe wildfire season on record, burning over 7.8 million hectares and releasing unprecedented carbon emissions surpassing the country’s previous record by several fold. These fire...

Abstract The Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM; ∼56 Ma) was a period of extreme global warming associated with a massive influx of isotopically light carbon into the ocean–atmosphere system. The burning of Pa...

Fire modelling is used by engineers and scientists to understand and to predict possible fire behaviour. Empirical, semi-empirical, and physical models have been developed to predict wildfire behaviour. Any of these can ...

Wildfires pose a grave danger and threat to both human health and the environment, which is why early detection of wildfires is crucial. In this study, a convolutional neural network, which is a deep learning technique f...

Introduction: Large wildfires were historically absent in the forests of Tierra del Fuego, southern Argentina. This has changed in recent decades as humans have increased ignition sources, and warmer, drier periods have ...

Abstract The Early Permian witnessed the first icehouse‐to‐greenhouse turnover of the vegetated Earth, yet its climate dynamics remain enigmatic. Here, we used mercury (Hg) isotopes from pelagic and continental succe...

The Eocene-Oligocene transition (EOT) is typically interpreted as a time of drastic global cooling and drying associated with massive growth of a glacial icecap in Antarctica and the shift to an "icehouse" climate. The e...

En los ecosistemas de montaña, la distribución de la vegetación a lo largo del gradiente altitudinal fue tradicionalmente interpretada en términos de la temperatura decreciente desde la base hacia arriba; pero los fu...

Among the many natural disturbances that affect Canada's boreal and temperate forest biomes, wildfire has the greatest impact on forest productivity, landscape structure, timber supply and greenhouse gas emissions. Fire ...

Altered fire regimes are a global challenge, increasingly exacerbated by climate change, which modifies fire weather and prolongs fire seasons. These changing conditions heighten the vulnerability of ecosystems and human...

Abstract Human settlements are increasingly being impacted by urban fires initiated by wildfires. Metrics such as area burned and number of structures destroyed are important, but research often overlooks the socio-ecolo...

Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a ubiquitous atmospheric constituent, originating from primary emissions (natural and anthropogenic) and secondary production via the oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In addition to ...

Fil: Vorraber, Leslie Bárbara. Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria; Argentina. Los bosques de pehuén (Araucaria araucana) se encuentran de manera exclusiva en el noroeste de la Patagonia. Estos bosques revis...

El fuego ha sido un factor recurrente en el área de distribución de Araucaria araucana (Molina) K. Koch. La presencia de carbón en registros polínicos y sedimentarios que cubren los últimos 44.000 años sugiere que ...

Stylosanthes hippocampoides, a native legume forage species, was first studied by our research team in 2016 to assess genetic variability in natural populations in northeastern Argentina. Recurrent fires in the following...

ABSTRACT Wildland fires can be responsible for negative impacts on the environment, causing damage to the fauna and flora and increasing the release of greenhouse gases. In the state of Amazonas, wildland fires represent...
