We explored the relationship of the McArthur fire danger classes with the satellite-derived daily burned area The findings suggest that satellite-derived daily burned area may not be a suitable metric for informing McArthur fire danger classes across Australia because it can be subjected to lagged detection.

This work analyses human-caused and natural wildfire behaviour in Galicia (Spain) through non-parametric inference techniques for point processes. Our results show that both spatial and spatiotemporal distribution and dependence structure of fires depend on their cause, suggesting a need for different models to predict arson, negligence and natural fire hazard.

Through sensitivity analyses and by comparing with real-world fire perimeters for the 2018 Camp Fire, the performance and challenges of wildland fire simulation with the WRF-Fire simulation platform are investigated.

Significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions were only achieved with full rewetting. Unconstrained availability of livelihood alternatives will not lead to full rewetting where drained peatland cultivation supports the incumbent livelihood. Livelihood alternatives displacing drained peatland cultivation are essential for sustained reduction in fire risk and GHG emissions.

This study aimed to evaluate how post-fire masticated slash depth affected vegetation regeneration to provide information for forest management planning. The masticated slash depth did not have significant effects on vegetation cover or species diversity 2.5 years after treatments. A lower slash depth favoured pine regeneration.

A larch-dominated forest exhibited density-dependent post-fire mortality patterns at short distances and increased aggregation among surviving trees post-fire. A widely used USA tree mortality model performed acceptably for this species. This study could potentially inform management strategies for conifer forests with similar structures and fire regimes.

The role of live vegetation in altering fire behaviour is increasingly being recognised. To accurately represent the exposure of a live plant to an approaching fire front, a replicable and precise method of testing flammability was developed. It provides a more realistic representation of plant flammability in the natural environment.
