Objective
This study aimed to establish the prevalence and to identify predictors of insomnia, nightmares and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in wildfire survivors.
Method
A total of 126 (23 males, 102 females, and 1 nonbinary individual, Mage = 52 years, SD = 14.4)…

Combustibles, topography, and weather factors are the three essential factors affecting forest fire behavior, and current forest fire spread models need to consider weather factors fully. This paper proposes a forest fire spread method based on environmental weather factors to…

Tropical peat swamp forests contain diverse plant communities that support many endangered flora and fauna species. These forests are increasingly threatened by disturbances such as drainage, logging, and subsequent fire, yet little is known about tree species recovery from…

This paper performs analysis of Instagram posts for the 2018–2019 Tasmanian wildfires to identify the key ways that locations were visually and textually represented. It identifies key themes and it looks at visual and photographic forms and genres typical of the survey. The…

Forests mitigate climate change by sequestering massive amounts of carbon, but recent increases in wildfire activity are threatening carbon storage. Currently, our understanding of wildfire impacts on forest resilience and the mechanisms controlling post-fire recovery remains…

The wildfire prediction model is crucial for accurate rescue and rapid evacuation. Existing models mainly adopt regular grids or fire perimeters to describe the wildfire landscape. However, these models have difficulty in explicitly demonstrating the local spread details,…

Fire risk assessment on the wildland–urban interface (WUI) and adjoined urban areas is crucial to prevent human losses and structural damages. One of many interacting and dynamic factors influencing the structure and function of fire-prone ecosystems is vegetation ignitability,…

In Mediterranean hinterlands, land abandonment has led to the encroachment of woody vegetation prone to fire. The resulting alternation between vegetation closure and sudden opening modifies the composition of avifauna. We first conducted a stratified sampling of the avifauna in…

The increase of wildfire incidence in highly populated areas significantly enhances the risk for ecosystems and human lives, activities and infrastructures. In central and southern Italy, recent decades’ fire records indicate that 2007 and 2017 were extreme years in terms of the…

The FARSITE (Fire Area Simulator) is a fire growth model that spatially projects fire perimeters and behavior over complex landscapes. The model uses spatial data themes from a geographic information system (GIS) along with weather and wind data to propagate fire as a spreading…
