Furthermore, unlike other shrub species such as R. glabra that may increase with fire, S. orbiculatus density and expansion appears to be hindered by regular fire but further research is needed on other seasonal applications and intensities of fire (Hajny et al. [2011]).
— Thinning forests without also burning accumulated brush and deadwood may increase forest fire damage rather than reduce it, researchers at the Forest Service reported in two recent studies.
TRNS, via its amplification of subthreshold oscillatory activity by stochastic resonance, may increase neural firing synchronization within stimulated regions [ 28].
Management interventions may include increasing fire using heterogenous management regimes40, or through rewilding savannas with historical herbivory pressures11,21, and diversifying herbivore functional guilds by incorporating more browsers18.
Fires may act as a homogenizing agent of vegetation and, therefore, could further contribute to increase fire hazard.
The easement program may increase options for fire management by preserving large landscapes.
Neuronal ramping activity preceding a decision has been interpreted in terms of drift diffusion, but existing models fail to capture how emphasizing speed over accuracy may increase the peak firing rates at the moment of decision [ 43].
However without safety precautions, these customary religious observances may increase the risk for fires and fire-related injuries".
Harvey L. Pitt, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, may be under increasing fire in Washington, where Democratic leaders accuse him of having been too soft on corporate wrongdoing.
A further observed impact of recent environmental change is an increase in forest growth in many areas (i.e. Phillips et al., 1998; Hasenauer et al., 1999; Nemani et al., 2003), which may lead to increased fire hazard due to changing fuel loads (Lenihan et al., 1998) and depleted soil moisture.
