Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1007/s10021-019-00385-7
Abstract: In densely populated fire-prone regions, interactions between global change drivers, such as land-cover changes and climate change, may increase the frequency and severity of wildfires impacting forest ecosystems, thus diminishing their capability of provisioning key… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apm.2018.11.049
Abstract: Abstract Efficient and effective wildland fire response requires interregional coordination of suppression resources. We developed a mathematical model to examine how scarce resources are shared. Best-fit models describe regional resource allocation according to driving risk… read more here.
