International Journal of Wildland Fire - 20th Anniversary Year

             

A major benefit of IAWF membership is free online access to all published research.

The fourth issue of the International Journal of Wildland Fire in this anniversary year has as its feature paper, “Relative importance of weather and climate on wildfire growth in interior Alaska,” which shows that fire growth in the boreal Alaskan interior is shown to be primarily a response to post-ignition meteorological conditions rather than conditions that were a precursor to ignition.

The following papers are in this issue:

• “Defining fire spread event days for fire-growth modeling,” Justin Podur and B. Mike Wotton;

• “Relative importance of weather and climate on wildfire growth in interior Alaska,” John T. Abatzoglou and Crystal A. Kolden;

• “Mapping burned area in Alaska using MODIS data: a data limitations-driven modification to the regional burned area algorithm,” Tatiana V. Loboda, Elizabeth E. Hoy, Louis Giglio and Eric S. Kasischke;

• “Spatially explicit forecasts of large wildland fire probability and suppression costs for California,” Haiganoush K. Preisler, Anthony L. Westerling, Krista M. Gebert, Francisco Munoz-Arriola and Thomas P. Holmes;

• “The transferability of a dNBR-derived model to predict burn severity across 10 wildland fires in western Canada,” Nicholas O. Soverel, Nicholas C. Coops, Daniel D.B. Perrakis, Lori D. Daniels and Sarah E. Gergel;

• “Determinants of inter-annual variation in the area burnt in a semiarid African savanna,” C.M. Mulqueeny, P.S. Goodman and T.G. O'Connor;

• “Determinants of spatial variation in fire return period in a semiarid African savanna,” T.G. O'Connor, C.M. Mulqueeny and P.S. Goodman;

• “Fire and carbon dynamics under climate change in southeastern Australia: insights from FullCAM and FIRESCAPE modeling,” Karen J. King, Robert M. de Ligt and Geoffrey J. Cary;

• “Regional signatures of future fire weather over eastern Australia from global climate models,” Hamish G. Clarke, Peter L. Smith and Andrew J. Pitman;

• “Effect of repeated fires on land-cover change on peatland in southern Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, from 1973 to 2005,” Agata Hoscilo, Susan E. Page, Kevin J. Tansey and John O. Rieley;

• “Influences of moisture content, mineral content and bulk density on smouldering combustion of ponderosa pine duff mounds,” Emily C. Garlough and Christopher R. Keyes;

• “Abiotic and biotic influences on Bromus tectorum invasion and Artemisia tridentata recovery after fire,” Lea Condon, Peter J. Weisberg and Jeanne C. Chambers;

• “Great tit (Parus major) breeding in fire-prone oak woods: differential effects of post-fire conditions on reproductive stages,” Enrico Bellia, Daniela Campobello and Maurizio Sarà;

• “The art of learning: wildfire, amenity migration and local environmental knowledge,” Christine Eriksen and Timothy Prior.
