Sentence examples for moisture fire from inspiring English sources

In fact, Dr. Tilman wrote, diversity must now be added to the list of factors that generally shape ecosystems and govern their functioning, along with climate, soil type, moisture, fire and storm.

Exposed to the destructive agencies of light, moisture, fire, general wear and tear, and changes in fashion, paintings on walls have little chance of surviving for more than a few hundred years.

Based upon the findings of the studies reviewed, these materials have strengths and weaknesses and their use is strictly dependent upon the given structural situation as well as upon specific requirements of thermal, moisture, fire and sound protection.

The standard FWI system tracks only daily levels of fuel moisture and fire behavior potential; however, because some elements of the fire environment vary significantly throughout the day, elements of the AFM system provide ways of adjusting some outputs (i.e., fine fuel moisture code (FFMC), initial spread index (ISI), and fire weather index (FWI)) at different times of day (Van Wagner 1977).

Remote monitoring of spatial and temporal surface soil moisture in fire disturbed boreal forest ecosystems with ERS SAR imagery.

Thus, this raster calculation of FWI system outputs has more applications than simply mapping spatial fuel moisture or fire potential outputs.

This paper evaluates the characteristics of several natural fibre composites exposed to moisture, thermal, fire, and ultraviolet degradation through an extensive literature review.

The FWI system is strictly a weather-based system providing six main output indices representing fuel moisture and fire behavior potential (Fig. 2) in a mature pine forest fuel type on level terrain.

The interaction between soil moisture and fire effects can inform management decisions regarding where to combine prescribed burning with intensive invasive control measures such as torching, hand pulling, and herbicide application.

These estimates don't necessarily reflect emissions of toxic substances, though, because emissions vary according to factors such as the type of vegetation burned, moisture content, fire temperature, wind conditions, how "aged" the smoke is, and time of year.

This simplicity does mean that the described LMU method may not be appropriate for all wildlife species or ecological processes, but is more suited to those closely associated with soil moisture and fire intensity.
