DOI: 10.1007/s10980-020-01173-8
Abstract: Proximity of landcover elements to each other will enable or constrain fire spread. Assessments of potential fire propagation across landscapes typically involve empirical or simulation models that estimate probabilities based on complex interactions among biotic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-64411-0
Abstract: Children are particularly vulnerable to landscape fire sourced fine particulate matter (LFS PM2.5), yet evidence on its health effects remains limited. Here we show that short-term exposure to LFS PM2.5 is associated with increased hospital… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.69298
Abstract: Background: Landscape fire smoke (LFS) has been associated with reduced birthweight, but evidence from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is rare. Methods: Here, we present a sibling-matched case–control study of 227,948 newborns to identify an… read more here.
