Abstract: The surface-area-to-volume ratio (SAV) is a significant parameter in vegetation description, although different researchers have presented diverging estimates for forest litter. However, considering litter as a unique entity and disregarding the SAV of its components… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Operational forest fire danger rating systems rely on the recent evolution of meteorological variables to estimate dead fuel condition. Further combining the latter with meteorological and environmental variables, they predict fire occurrence and spread.… read more here.
