3. 2. Influence of forest mires on wildfire : a landscape analysis of the 2014 Västmanland forest fire

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : Andreas Souropetsis; [2022]
   Keywords : Forest fire; Mires fuel composition; Aerial photo interpretation;

   Abstract : Forest fire is a major natural disturbance that influence forest ecosystem structure and composition at both the stand and landscape level. In boreal Fennoscandia fire frequency has been very low over the last c.150 years due to effective fire suppression, although occasionally high-intensity fires escape initial attack and grow big.

   Author : Tanja Cernosa; [2020]
   Keywords : Fire behaviour; Intermediate-scale facade tests; cone calorimeter; stone wool; phenolic foam; WRB; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In the last few years, the implementation of well-ventilated façades in buildings increased due to their improved energy performance. However, their double-wall construction due to the limited airflow within an air cavity represents a significant fire risk, since the flames that spread into the air cavity can elongate up to ten times.
