A comparison of landscape fuel treatment strategies to mitigate wildland fire risk in the urban interface and preserve old forest structure
TL;DR: In this paper, fuel reduction treatments on a 16,000 ha study area in Oregon, US, examine tradeoffs between placing fuel treatments near residential structures within an urban interface, versus treating stands in the adjacent wildlands to meet forest health and ecological restoration goals.
Simulation of Long-Term Landscape-Level Fuel Treatment Effects on Large Wildfires
TL;DR: In this article, a simulation system was developed to explore how fuel treatments placed in topologically random and optimal spatial patterns affect the growth and behaviour of large fires when implemented at different rates over the course of five decades.
Journal ArticleDOI
Broadband, red-edge information from satellites improves early stress detection in a New Mexico conifer woodland
Jan U. H. Eitel,Lee A. Vierling,Marcy E. Litvak,Dan S. Long,Urs Schulthess,Alan A. Ager,Dan J. Krofcheck,Leo Stoscheck +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed a temporally dense time series of 22 RapidEye scenes of a pinon-juniper woodland in central New Mexico acquired before and after stress was induced by girdling.

A review of recent advances in risk analysis for wildfire management
Carol Miller,Alan A. Ager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent advances in quantifying and integrating these individual components of fire risk is presented, and several necessary and fruitful directions for future research and development in wildfire risk analysis are suggested.
