  1. 1. 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.

  5. 4. Factors influencing the generation of carbon monoxide in fires partially suppressed through water mist application

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Haydn Lewis; [2020]
    Keywords : Fire safety engineering; water mist; fire suppression; carbon monoxide; water; combustion; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Fires in the built environment typically consist of diffusion flames with inefficient mixing of fuel and oxygen, resulting in a degree of incomplete combustion and the generation of carbon monoxide. Fire suppression systems, used to control the growth and spread of fire, influence the combustion reaction process. READ MORE

  6. 5. Fire effects in a landscape of fear : food availability and perceived predation risk as potential determinants of patch utilization by herbivore prey

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : David Kymmell; [2019]
    Keywords : landscape of fear; forest fire effects; herbivore prey; camera trapping;

    Abstract : Context: A major effect of climatic change is the global increase in forest fires, which potentially creates an increase in food availability for herbivorous species. Also vegetation density and the numbers of tree logs increase in burned sites, and this is thought to influence the perceived risk of herbivore prey species, which affects their anti‐predator behaviour and thereby the patch utilization.
