DUET-Distribution of Understory using Elliptical Transport: A mechanistic model of leaf litter and herbaceous spatial distribution based on tree canopy structure

Jenna S. McDanold et al.

Summary: Heterogeneity in surface fuels, influenced by tree leaf and needle litter accumulation, is important for understanding fire behavior and ecosystem dynamics. A new model called DUET is presented, which estimates variation in surface fuels by considering tree species characteristics, wind data, and location-specific features. The model simulates spatial distributions of leaf litter and grass growth, and sets moisture levels based on relative humidity. This model provides inputs for testing the impact of fuel spatial heterogeneity on fire behavior using process-based models.

Operationalizing the use of TLS in forest inventories: The R package FORTLS

Juan Alberto Molina-Valero et al.

Summary: Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) devices have great potential for Forest Inventories (FIs) due to their ability to rapidly and automatically register high resolution point clouds. However, the lack of algorithms for processing acquired data, particularly in the single-scan mode, has hindered the operational use of TLS in FI. To overcome this obstacle, the FORTLS package has been developed to automate the processing of single-scan TLS point cloud data for forestry purposes, including features that deal with occlusions. These features improve the efficiency of data acquisition and post-processing, making TLS more valuable for operational use in FIs.

Modeling Low Intensity Fires: Lessons Learned from 2012 RxCADRE

Rodman R. Linn et al.

Summary: Coupled fire-atmosphere models are increasingly used to study low-intensity fires, such as prescribed fires. This study highlights the critical need to include variable wind fields as inputs in modeling marginal fire conditions. It also emphasizes the complexities in comparing physics-based model results against observations in marginal burning conditions.

Traditional field metrics and terrestrial LiDAR predict plant richness in southern pine forests

C. T. Anderson et al.

Summary: Terrestrial LiDAR is a promising tool for accurate and consistent forest structure measurement, showing potential to address drawbacks of traditional methods. Hybrid models combining LiDAR with traditional sampling accurately predict species richness in certain community types, indicating the technology's potential to improve forest structure-richness relationship studies.

Sensitivity of Grass Fires Burning in Marginal Conditions to Atmospheric Turbulence

Alexandra K. Jonko et al.

Summary: Atmospheric forcing and interactions between fire and atmosphere are primary drivers of wildland fire behavior. The atmosphere is known to be a chaotic system that, although deterministic, is very sensitive to small perturbations to initial conditions. Fire behavior is shown to be sensitive to small variations in atmospheric turbulence, highlighting the need for ensemble simulations to capture both expected fire behavior and uncertainties associated with it.

A simplified and affordable approach to forest monitoring using single terrestrial laser scans and transect sampling

Scott Pokswinski et al.

Summary: Integrating Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) methods into forest monitoring strategies can standardize data collection, improve efficiency, and easily adapt to new environmental measurements. This new method simplifies extraction of forestry, fuels, and ecological vegetation variables from a single TLS point cloud, streamlines data collection process, and produces data suitable for models and decision support frameworks.

Effects of fuel spatial distribution on wildland fire behaviour

Adam L. Atchley et al.

Summary: Fuel density heterogeneity has a significant impact on fire behavior, with increased density and heterogeneity leading to decreased fire spread and burned area, while large characteristic length scales of spatial fuel density result in increased fire spread and area burned.
