Sentence examples for wildfire intensity from inspiring English sources
There is ample evidence, although largely anecdotal, that surface, ladder and canopy fuel treatments mitigate wildfire intensity and burn severity and avoid crown fire in maritime pine stands.
Strategically placed landscape treatments (SPLATS) are being used to reduce density of trees, shrubs, and surface fuels to limit wildfire intensity and spread, but may negatively impact fishers (Pekania pennanti).
Forest managers have already been struggling to determine whether the massive number of dead trees will increase wildfire intensity and/or severity, what the near- and long-term effects on forest communities will be and how land management agencies should respond.
The C + NVC model is primarily used to examine the relationship of prescribed burning practices relative to future suppression costs, and shows that prescribed burning (within the current or recent fire seasons) decreases wildfire intensity, and thus increases the probability of successful suppression (Fernandes and Botelho 2003; Florec et al. 2012).
Wildfire intensity increases during daytime hours.
'Wildfire Intensity' is a qualitative descriptor of the wildfire parameterizations used in the forest growth model.
At the current rate of industrial and agricultural emissions, the carbon and other greenhouse gases in the planet's atmosphere are predicted to influence climate and weather patterns in chaotic ways, such as a major increase in wildfires, hurricane intensity, food shortages, heat waves and coastal flooding events.
Increasing wildfire extent and intensity would affect human safety, livelihoods, and landscapes.
Our goal was to assess differences in reducing wildfire size and intensity using fuel-load and burn-probability based treatment prioritization approaches.
In prioritizing fuel reduction treatments, we propose using burn probability to account for the effects of spatially related factors that can affect wildfire size and intensity.
However, wildfire size and intensity are not only related to fuel loads but also to a wide range of other spatially related factors such as topography, weather and human activity.
