DOI: 10.1016/j.fuel.2020.117342
Abstract: Abstract During wildland fires, which include both planned (prescribed fire) and unplanned (wildfire) fires, live and dead plants may be subject to both radiative and convective heat transfer mechanisms. In this study, the pyrolysis of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2019.02.019
Abstract: Several types of shrubs and oak inducing high wildland fire risk in the South of Europe were evaluated for their potential valorization through torrefaction. Biomasses were firstly characterized in terms of macromolecular and elemental composition.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.1c00847
Abstract: Wildland firefighters are exposed to smoke-containing particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while suppressing wildfires. From 2015 to 2017, the U.S. Forest Service conducted a field study collecting breathing zone measurements of PM4… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.8b05430
Abstract: Seasonal-mean concentrations of particulate matter with diameters smaller than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) have been decreasing across the United States (US) for several decades, with large reductions in spring and summer in the eastern US. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/wf16153
Abstract: Wildland firefighters must assess potential fire behaviour in order to develop appropriate strategies and tactics that will safely meet objectives. Fire danger indices integrate surface weather conditions to quantify potential variations in fire spread rates… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/wf17004
Abstract: The absence of a comprehensive and accurate database on fire occurrence means that some proportion of wildfires is not reported. This paper examines wildfires reported in the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) database and… read more here.

Wildland fires behaviour: wind effect versus Byram’s convective number and consequences upon the regime of propagation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "International Journal of Wildland Fire"
DOI: 10.1071/wf18014
Abstract: With fuel moisture content and slope, wind velocity (U W) is one of the major physical parameters that most affects the behaviour of wildland fires. The aim of this short paper was to revisit the… read more here.
