A second-order impact model for forest fire regimes.
We present a very simple "impact" model for the description of forest fires and show that it can mimic the known characteristics of wild fire regimes in savannas, boreal forests, and Mediterranean forests. Moreover, the distribution of burned biomasses in model generated fires resemble those of burned areas in numerous large forests around the world. The model has also the merits of being the f...
متن کاملA Neutral Model for Low-Severity Fire Regimes
Climate, topography, fuel loadings, and human activities all affect spatial and temporal patterns of fire occurrence. Because fire occurrence is a stochastic process, an understanding of baseline variability is necessary in order to identify constraints on surface fire regimes. With a suitable null, or neutral, model, characteristics of natural fire regimes estimated from fire history data can ...
متن کاملThe impact of fire on the forest and plants diversity in Iranian Oak forest
Fire, as a natural ecological disturbance factor in forest, this study located in the Marivan region, Northern Zagros forest, and western Iranian state of Kurdistan. In each burned and unburned area 30 circle sample plot (1000 m2) were collected by randomized–systematic method in the 100×200 m net (in total 60 plots). In every sample plot the kind of species, number of tree, the heig...
متن کاملDesign of a Model Reference Adaptive Controller Using Modified MIT Rule for a Second Order System
Sometimes conventional feedback controllers may not perform well online because of the variation in process dynamics due to nonlinear actuators, changes in environmental conditions and variation in the character of the disturbances. To overcome the above problem, this paper deals with the designing of a controller for a second order system with Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) scheme usi...
متن کاملGeographic Variation in Mixed-Conifer Forest Fire Regimes in California
This paper reviews recent research from California on geographic variability in mixed conifer (MC) forest fire regimes. MC forests are typically described as having experienced primarily frequent, low to moderate severity burns prior to fire suppression that created a mosaic of vegetation patches with variable structure. Research throughout California generally supports this view, but recent re...
