The effects of management on long‐term carbon stability in a southeastern U.S. forest matrix under extreme fire weather
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2631
Abstract: How fire interacts with an ecosystem is driven by forest structure, fuel bed heterogeneity, topography, and weather. The juxtaposition of two distinct vegetation types with divergent properties can further influence the effects of fire on… read more here.

Evaluation of fire weather forecasts using PM2.5 sensitivity analysis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Atmospheric Environment"
DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosenv.2016.09.010
Abstract: Abstract Fire weather forecasts are used by land and wildlife managers to determine when meteorological and fuel conditions are suitable to conduct prescribed burning. In this work, we investigate the sensitivity of ambient PM 2.5… read more here.

Climate Change Increases the Potential for Extreme Wildfires
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Geophysical Research Letters"
DOI: 10.1029/2019gl083699
Abstract: Pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb) wildfires cause devastation in many regions globally. Given that fire‐atmosphere coupling is associated with pyroCbs, future changes in coincident high index values of atmospheric instability and dryness (C‐Haines) and near‐surface fire weather are… read more here.
