Levoglucosan and its isomers in terrestrial sediment as a molecular markers provide direct evidence for the low-temperature fire during the mid-Holocene in the northern Shandong peninsula of China

Tan, Yuan, Gu, Han, Mao, Tan, Wu, Han
Black carbon and charcoal's limitation in detecting low-temperature fires could be a major obstacle in observing paleofire. To reconstruct a low-temperature fire pattern and vegetation changes in the Changyi in the northern Shandong Peninsula over…

Mapping opportunities for the use of land management strategies to address fire risk in Europe

Neidermeier, Zagaria, Pampanoni, West, Verburg
Many parts of Europe face increasing challenges managing wildfires. Although wildfire is an integral part of certain ecosystems, fires in many places are becoming larger and more intense, driven largely by climate change, land abandonment, and…

Multiple stories, multiple marginalities: the labor-intensive forest and fire stewardship workforce in Oregon

Davis, Wilmsen, Machado, Alessi
Latino/a/x workers perform labor-intensive forestry and fire stewardship work in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, but are not well recognized in research and practice about wildfire governance. This industry has pervasive issues of unsafe working…

Quantification of the spatial resilience of the Spanish rural landscape to fire occurrence analysed using the SISPARES network of plots

Rescia, Gómez Menéndez, González Lodares, Quero
Context: In Spain, fire is a tool used for management in rural landscapes but also wildfires can play a disruptive socio-ecological role. Therefore, its spatial structure analysis and spatial resilience quantification to wildfire is useful for…

Reconnecting fire culture of aboriginal communities with contemporary wildfire risk management

Atkinson, Montiel-Molina
This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the transition towards a new paradigm of wildfire risk management in Victoria that incorporates Aboriginal fire knowledge. We show the suitability of cultural burning in the transformed landscapes…

Right-way fire in Australia's spinifex deserts: an approach for measuring management success when fire activity varies substantially through space and time

Ruscalleda-Alvarez, Cliff, Catt, Holmes, Burrows, Paltridge, Russell-Smith, Schubert, See, Legge
Indigenous Australians used fire in spinifex deserts for millennia. These practices mostly ceased following European colonisation, but many contemporary Indigenous groups seek to restore ‘right-way fire’ practices, to meet inter-related social,…

Surface mechanical effects of wildfires on rocks in climbing areas

Yeste-Lizán, Gomez-Heras, García-Rodríguez, Pérez-López, Carcavilla, Ortega-Becerril
Wildfires are widely recognized as a cause of mechanical damage to rocks. Nevertheless, previous research has neglected how wildfires might impact sport climbing areas. In Spain, two large wildfires affected two climbing areas between 2020 and 2021…

System-level feedbacks of active fire regimes in large landscapes

Povak, Hessburg, Salter, Gray, Prichard
Background: Climate is a main driver of fire regimes, but recurrent fires provide stabilizing feedbacks at several spatial scales that can limit fire spread and severity-potentially contributing to a form of self-regulation. Evaluating the strength…

Territories in transition: how social contexts influence wildland fire adaptive capacity in rural northwestern European Mediterranean areas

Uyttewaal, Prat-Guitart, Ludwig, Kroeze, Langer
Background: Rural and semi-rural areas are complex and dynamic social-ecological systems, many of which have experienced profound impacts from wildland fires, particularly this decade. Under uncertain climate change conditions, these areas require…
