Background
Smoke from wildfires is a growing public health risk due to the enormous amount of smoke-related pollution that is produced and can travel thousands of kilometers from its source. While many studies have documented the physical health harms of wildfire smoke, less is…

Aims
Plant–soil feedback (PSF) is an important mechanism controlling plant growth, vegetation dynamics, and longer-term and larger-scale patterns of plant community diversity. We know that feedback between plants and soil biota depends on several external factors, such as…

Bacterial communities associated with vegetation-soil interfaces have important roles in terrestrial ecosystems. These bacterial communities, studied almost exclusively in unburnt ecosystems or those affected by rare, high-intensity wildfires, have been understudied in fire-…

This study investigates experimentally the fuel bed width effect on concurrent flame spread over discrete fuels. Two representative configurations, dense arrays spaced 3 mm and loose arrays spaced 6 mm, are concerned herein. Regular birch rod arrays were designed by varying five…

Manifestations of biotopic and interannual variability in the bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus) were assessed in biotopes that appeared after windfall followed by forest fire in the territory of the Visim Nature Reserve (the Middle Urals). The methods of geometric…

Context
Treeless areas in forested landscapes are an enduring ecological puzzle globally. A fire-mediated alternative stable state (FMASS) model has been proposed to explain mosaics of forest and sedgeland in Tasmania, whereby shifts in fire frequency change vegetation and soil…

Levels of fire activity and severity that are unprecedented in the instrumental record have recently been observed in forested regions around the world. Using a large sample of daily fire events and hourly climate data, here we show that fire activity in all global forest biomes…

The economic value of fuel treatments: a review of the recent literature for fuel treatment planning
This review synthesizes the scientific literature on fuel treatment economics published since 2013 with a focus on its implications for land managers and policy makers. We review the literature on whether fuel treatments are financially viable for land management agencies at the…

The growing complexity and duration of wildland fires continues to challenge the capability and expertise of U.S. Forest Service agency administrators, fire managers and the wildfire response system as a whole. As wildfires become more complex and the risk to firefighters, the…
