Spotting ignition of larch (Larix gmelinii) fuel bed by different firebrands

Guang Yang et al.

Summary: The study found that ignition probability is greatly influenced by moisture content and wind speed, while packing ratio has minimal effect. Cones have the highest ignition probability, followed by large twigs and small twigs. Ignition probability is also affected by the shape and size of firebrands.

Predicting ignitability from firebrands in mature wet eucalypt forests

J. G. Cawson et al.

Summary: Forest ignitability varies spatially and temporally depending on fuel moisture. Wetter forests act as barriers to the spread of wildfires, but become prime locations for large wildfires when they dry out. Our study found that in-forest vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is the strongest predictor of ignition and sustained ignition in wet eucalypt forests, and could be used to predict wildfire risk.

Leaf traits predict global patterns in the structure and flammability of forest litter beds

Jamie E. Burton et al.

Summary: This study identified key leaf and litter traits that influence different components of litter bed flammability, showing consistent effects across a wide range of taxa and biomes. These traits contribute to developing trait-based models for predicting surface wildfire behavior, which can accommodate future shifts in plant species composition due to altered fire regimes and climate change.

Darker, cooler, wetter: forest understories influence surface fuel moisture

Bianca J. Pickering et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of understorey vegetation on near-surface microclimate, finding that wet forests with dense understorey vegetation had lower air temperatures and higher humidities near the surface, while dry forests with less understorey vegetation had higher air temperatures and lower humidities near the surface. These differences significantly affected the predicted fuel moisture levels.

Quantifying the effect of mastication on flaming and smouldering durations in eucalypt forests and woodlands under laboratory conditions

J. G. Cawson et al.

Summary: Mechanical mastication as a wildfire mitigation technique is becoming increasingly popular, but few studies quantify its effects on fire behavior. The higher fuel loads in masticated fuel beds result in increased burning durations, but the effects on combustion duration are likely to be short-lived as fuel loads decline significantly over time.
