Fire is a fundamental biophysical process shaping ecosystems globally, yet it presents significant challenges for scientific investigation, particularly at landscape scales. Landscape scale prescribed fires offer a valuable opportunity for advancing fire science through comprehensive interdisciplinary research experiments with the ability to investigate ecosystems prior to, during and after fires. This collection deals with the co-production of management-relevant science between fire managers and researchers with a focus on state-of-the art measurements of 3D fuels, fire behavior and smoke dynamics to inform and improve the development of next-generation fuels, fire and smoke models.
