Abstract: Key messageThe collective analysis of a relatively large number of wildfire observations documented in conifer forests, dry eucalypt forests and temperate shrublands revealed that the forward rate of fire spread is roughly 10% of the… read more here.

Abstract: The problem of averaging the kinetics of two-stage decaying system subject to dichotomous fluctuations in the forward rate is solved exactly. It is shown that the temporal behavior of system’s populations is fourexponential, given finite… read more here.
