Effectiveness depends on the participation of those employees who are at increased risk of ill health. HealthPlus Health Quotient is an incentive/disincentive approach to health promotion. The employer's contribution to the employee cafeteria-plan benefit package is adjusted on the basis of an annual health risk appraisal. We evaluated whether this financial incentive/disincentive predicted participation in health promotion activities, and whether participation improved future health risk and productivity. In the first year, participation was proportional to overall health risk (P < 0.01). Participation in targeted programs was proportional to levels of body fat, cholesterol, and blood pressure. Participation in activity-related health promotion was proportional to prior-year activity or fitness scores. Health promotion participants improved their subsequent-year health risk more than did non-participants. Participation was associated with reduced illness-related absenteeism and (although inconsistently) with medical claims paid and short-term disability.",,,Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine,,,Wolters Kluwer,"1076-2752, 1536-5948","Absenteeism; Adult; Aged; Disabled Persons; Employee Incentive Plans; Female; Financing, Personal; Health Promotion; Health Status; Humans; Job Satisfaction; Male; Middle Aged; Occupational Health Services; Physical Fitness; Risk Factors; Workers' Compensation; Workload",2000-12,2000,,2000-12,42,12,1148-1155,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Stein, Aryeh D.; Shakour, Sana Khoury; Zuidema, Roy A.","Stein, Aryeh D.

The number of all types of injuries, including back injuries, decreased between 1991 and 1995. The number of back injuries decreased from nine in 1987 to four in 1992 and was zero in 1993. Although there are inadequate data to provide power for a significant result, other criteria suggest a causal relationship. The results are consistent with the few published studies that suggest a decrease in the number of injuries in association with exercise and perhaps with modification of psychosocial risk factors. Calculations suggest a cost savings of over $800,000 and a return on investment of $2.51, as well as avoidance of pain and injury.",,,Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine,,,Wolters Kluwer,"1076-2752, 1536-5948",Back Injuries; Cost-Benefit Analysis; Health Promotion; Humans; Occupational Diseases; Occupational Health Services; Petroleum; Program Evaluation; United States,1999-09,1999,,1999-09,41,9,813-820,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Maniscalco, Peggie; Lane, Rebecca; Welke, Michelle; Mitchell, John H.; Husting, Lee","Maniscalco, Peggie (From the Department of Health Services, BP Amoco Corporation, Warrenville, Ill.

Career firefighters (n = 10) walked on a treadmill (3·5 km · h−1, 10% grade) for 15 min in three different clothing configurations. On separate days subjects wore: (a) ‘station blues’, (b) a hip boot configuration of firefighting gear, and (c) the current ‘NFPA 1500 standard’ gear. Physiological, psychophysical, and psychological measurements were recorded pre-exercise (5 min), during exercise (15 min), and during post-exercise recovery (10min). Repeated measures ANOVA revealed significant main effects for condition, time, and interaction (p < 0·001) for heart rate (HR), rectal temperature, mean skin temperature, oxygen consumption, breathing distress, thermal sensations, and affect. Furthermore, post hoc analyses revealed that all variables were significantly higher in the NFPA 1500 standard versus the hip boot or the station blues clothing configurations. These data suggest that the current NFPA 1500 standard configuration results in greater physiological and psychobiological stress at a given workload.",,,Ergonomics,,,Taylor & Francis,"0014-0139, 1366-5847",,1995-10,1995,,1995-10,38,10,2065-2077,Closed,Article,Research Article,"SMITH, D.

To address these questions, we collected data from patients with confirmed myocardial infarction on their activities one hour before the onset of myocardial infarction and during control periods.
METHODS: Interviews with 1228 patients conducted an average of four days after myocardial infarction provided data on their usual annual frequency of physical activity and the time, type, and intensity of physical exertion in the 26 hours before the onset of myocardial infarction. We compared the observed frequency of heavy exertion (6 or more metabolic equivalents) with the expected values using two types of self-matched analyses based on a new case-crossover study design. The low frequency of heavy exertion during the control periods was validated by data from a population-based control group of 218 subjects.
RESULTS: Of the patients, 4.4 percent reported heavy exertion within one hour before the onset of myocardial infarction. The estimated relative risk of myocardial infarction in the hour after heavy physical exertion, as compared with less strenuous physical exertion or none, was 5.9 (95 percent confidence interval, 4.6 to 7.7), Among people who usually exercised less than one, one to two, three to four, or five or more times per week, the respective relative risks were 107 (95 percent confidence interval, 67 to 171), 19.4 (9.9 to 38.1), 8.6 (3.6 to 20.5), and 2.4 (1.5 to 3.7). Thus, increasing levels of habitual physical activity were associated with progressively lower relative risks. The induction time from heavy exertion to the onset of myocardial infarction was less than one hour, and symptoms usually began during the activity.
CONCLUSIONS: Heavy physical exertion can trigger the onset of acute myocardial infarction, particularly in people who are habitually sedentary. Improved understanding of the mechanisms by which heavy physical exertion triggers the onset of myocardial infarction and the manner in which regular exertion protects against it would facilitate the design of new preventive approaches.","Presented in part at the 64th Annual Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association, Anaheim, Calif., November 11-14, 1991.

Previous studies have suggested a higher risk of cardiac events in association with exertion.
METHODS: Consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction were identified by recording all admissions to our hospital in Berlin and by monitoring a general population of 330,000 residents in Augsburg, Germany. Information on the circumstances of each infarction was obtained by means of standardized interviews. The data analysis included a comparison of patients with matched controls and a case-crossover comparison (one in which each patient serves as his or her own control) of the patient's usual frequency of exertion with the last episode of exertion before the onset of myocardial infarction.
RESULTS: From January 1989 through December 1991, 1194 patients (74 percent of whom were men; mean age [+/- SD], 61 +/- 9 years) completed the interview 13 +/- 6 days after infarction. We found that 7.1 percent of the case patients had engaged in physical exertion (> or = 6 metabolic equivalents) at the onset of infarction, as compared with 3.9 percent of the controls at the onset of the control event. For the patients as compared with the matched controls, the adjusted relative risk of having engaged in strenuous physical activity at the onset of infarction or the control event was 2.1 (95 percent confidence interval, 1.1 to 3.6). The case-crossover comparison yielded a similar relative risk of 2.1 (95 percent confidence interval, 1.6 to 3.1) for having engaged in strenuous physical activity within one hour before myocardial infarction. Patients whose frequency of regular exercise was less than four and four or more times per week had relative risks of 6.9 and 1.3, respectively (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: A period of strenuous physical activity is associated with a temporary increase in the risk of having a myocardial infarction, particularly among patients who exercise infrequently. These findings should aid in the identification of the triggering mechanisms for myocardial infarction and improve prevention of this common and serious disorder.","Supported in part by grants from the Schwarz Pharma Company and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Wi 957/2-1).

To address this issue, 50 apparently healthy men with angiographically proven CAD and asymptomatic exercise-induced ST depression have been followed prospectively for 15 years in the Oslo Ischemia Study. Fourteen men died. The initial presenting clinical event in these 14 men was chest pain in 4 (30%)--but in only 1 case was it recognized as typical angina--silent myocardial infarction in 5 (35%) and sudden death in 5 (35%). Thirty-six men survived, with 19 developing symptoms. Overall, chest pain was the first clinical event in 22 of the total of 33 men with symptoms (66%), whereas myocardial infarction occurred in 6 (18%) and sudden death in 5 (16%). Although chest pain occurred in 22 men, it was clinically diagnosed as typical angina pectoris in only 6.

BACKGROUND: A higher frequency of onset of acute myocardial infarction has been reported in the morning with a peak in the 1st 3 h after awakening. This observation suggests that the onset of infarction may be triggered by activity in the morning and at other times of the day.
METHODS: The clinical history of the 3,339 patients entered into the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction phase II study was analyzed to determine characteristics predicting a higher frequency of infarction between 6 AM and noon, and onset of infarction during exertion.
RESULTS: A higher proportion (34.4%) of infarctions began in the morning (6 AM to noon) compared with other times of the day. Characteristics independently predicting a higher frequency between 6 AM to noon were no beta-adrenergic blocking agent use in the 24 h before infarction, no discomfort other than the index pain in the preceding 48 h, occurrence of the infarction on a weekday and no history of current smoking. In 18.7% of patients, infarction occurred during moderate or marked physical activity. Independent predictors of exertion-related infarction included male gender, no history of current smoking, white race, no use of calcium channel blocking agents or nitrates in the preceding 24 h, the absence of either chest pain at rest in the 3 weeks before infarction or any pain in the preceding 48 h, the absence of new onset angina and the presence of exertional pain in the preceding 3 weeks. Compared with patients whose infarction occurred at rest or during mild activity, those with exertion-related infarction had fewer coronary vessels with > or = 60% stenosis (p = 0.002) and were more likely to have an occluded infarct-related vessel after thrombolytic therapy (p = 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Further study of the timing and activity at onset of infarction may provide insight into the pathophysiologic mechanisms causing acute myocardial infarction and provide clues to preventive measures.",,,Journal of the American College of Cardiology,,,Elsevier,"0735-1097, 1558-3597",Analysis of Variance; Circadian Rhythm; Humans; Myocardial Infarction; Physical Exertion; Prognosis; Regression Analysis; Thrombolytic Therapy; Time Factors,1992-11,1992,,1992-11,20,5,1049-1055,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Tofler, Geoffrey H.; Muller, James E.; Stone, Peter H.; Forman, Sandra; Solomon, Rachel E.; Knatterud, Genell L.; Braunwald, Eugene","Tofler, Geoffrey H.

Cases were classified according to their activity at the time of cardiac arrest and the amount of their habitual vigorous activity. From interviews with wives of a random sample of healthy men, we estimated the amount of time members of the community spent in vigorous activity. Among men with low levels of habitual activity, the relative risk of cardiac arrest during exercise compared with that at other times was 56 (95 per cent confidence limits, 23 to 131). The risk during exercise among men at the highest level of habitual activity was also elevated, but only by a factor of 5 (95 per cent confidence limits, 2 to 14). However, among the habitually vigorous men, the overall risk of cardiac arrest--i.e., during and not during vigorous activity--was only 40 per cent that of the sedentary men (95 per cent confidence limits, 0.23 to 0.67). Although the risk of primary cardiac arrest is transiently increased during vigorous exercise, habitual vigorous exercise is associated with an overall decreased risk of primary cardiac arrest.","Supported by a grant (HL 26208–02) from the National Institutes of Health and a grant from the Graduate School Research Fund of the University of Washington.

This study was designed to look at the exertion levels that fire fighters attain during a fire fighting exercise when using (1) no self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), (2) light SCBA, and (3) heavy SCBA. Exertion levels were measured as a function of the heart rate increase relative to the maximum predicted heart rate determined by a standard treadmill exercise test. Five fire fighters wore electrocardiographic monitors during a routine fire fighting exercise. Heart rates increased rapidly to 70% to 80% of maximum within the first minute and then plateaued at 90% to 100% until the attack on the fire was completed. There was no significant difference between exertion levels when using no SCBA, light SCBA, and heavy SCBA (split-plot analysis of variance, p greater than .25). These results suggest that fire fighters attain an intense level of physical activity quickly and maintain that level as long as they are actively engaged in fighting fire. These results also suggest that regardless of the weight of the SCBA, if employed, fire fighters exert themselves from 85% to 100% of their maximum and adjust their work output to maintain that near-maximal level.",,,Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine,,,Wolters Kluwer,"1076-2752, 1536-5948","Adult; Electrocardiography; Equipment Design; Fires; Heart Rate; Humans; Male; Occupational Medicine; Physical Exertion; Ventilators, Mechanical",1983-03,1983,,1983-03,25,3,215,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Manning, James E.; Griggs, Thomas R.","Manning, James E.

,pub.1107997277,10.1257/jep.32.4.53,,,,The Cost of Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions,"Most countries, including the United States, have an array of greenhouse gas mitigation policies, which provide subsidies or restrictions typically aimed at specific technologies or sectors. Such climate policies range from automobile fuel economy standards, to gasoline taxes, to mandating that a certain amount of electricity in a state comes from renewables, to subsidizing solar and wind electrical generation, to mandates requiring the blending of biofuels into the surface transportation fuel supply, to supply-side restrictions on fossil fuel extraction. This paper reviews the costs of various technologies and actions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Our aim is twofold. First, we seek to provide an up-to-date summary of costs of actions that can be taken now using currently available technology. These costs focus on expenditures and emissions reductions over the life of a project compared to some business-as-usual benchmark—for example, replacing coal-fired electricity generation with wind, or weatherizing a home. We refer to these costs as static because they are costs over the life of a specific project undertaken now, and they ignore spillovers. Our second aim is to distinguish between dynamic and static costs and to argue that some actions taken today with seemingly high static costs can have low dynamic costs, and vice versa. We make this argument at a general level and through two case studies, of solar panels and of electric vehicles, technologies whose costs have fallen sharply. Under the right circumstances, dynamic effects will offer a justification for policies that have high costs according to a myopic calculation.",,,Journal of Economic Perspectives,,,American Economic Association,"0895-3309, 1944-7965",,2018-11-01,2018,,2018-11-01,32,4,53-72,All OA; Gold,Article,Research Article,"Gillingham, Kenneth; Stock, James H.","Gillingham, Kenneth (Kenneth Gillingham is Associate Professor of Economics, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut.

,pub.1025706435,10.1016/j.gloplacha.2015.02.004,,,,Global estimates of boreal forest carbon stocks and flux,"The boreal ecosystem is an important global reservoir of stored carbon and a haven for diverse biological communities. The natural disturbance dynamics there have historically been driven by fire and insects, with human-mediated disturbances increasing faster than in other biomes globally. Previous research on the total boreal carbon stock and predictions of its future flux reveal high uncertainty in regional patterns. We reviewed and standardised this extensive body of quantitative literature to provide the most up-to-date and comprehensive estimates of the global carbon balance in the boreal forest. We also compiled century-scale predictions of the carbon budget flux. Our review and standardisation confirmed high uncertainty in the available data, but there is evidence that the region's total carbon stock has been underestimated. We found a total carbon store of 367.3 to 1715.8 Pg (1015 g), the mid-point of which (1095 Pg) is between 1.3 and 3.8 times larger than any previous mean estimates. Most boreal carbon resides in its soils and peatlands, although estimates are highly uncertain. We found evidence that the region might become a net carbon source following a reduction in carbon uptake rate from at least the 1980s. Given that the boreal potentially constitutes the largest terrestrial carbon source in the world, in one of the most rapidly warming parts of the globe (Walsh, 2014), how we manage these stocks will be influential on future climate dynamics.","Part of this work was funded through Future Forests, a multi-disciplinary research programme supported by the Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research, the Swedish Forestry Industry, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Umeå University, and the Forestry Research Institute of Sweden.

,pub.1008462149,10.1038/ngeo2352,,,,Influence of tree species on continental differences in boreal fires and climate feedbacks,"Wildfires are common in boreal forests around the globe and strongly influence ecosystem processes. However, North American forests support more high-intensity crown fires than Eurasia, where lower-intensity surface fires are common. These two types of fire can result in different net effects on climate as a consequence of their contrasting impacts on terrestrial albedo and carbon stocks. Here we use remote-sensing imagery, climate reanalysis data and forest inventories to evaluate differences in boreal fire dynamics between North America and Eurasia and their key drivers. Eurasian fires were less intense, destroyed less live vegetation, killed fewer trees and generated a smaller negative shortwave forcing. As fire weather conditions were similar across continents, we suggest that different fire dynamics between the two continents resulted from their dominant tree species. In particular, species that have evolved to spread and be consumed by crown fires as part of their life cycle dominate North American boreal forests. In contrast, tree species that have evolved to resist and suppress crown fires dominate Eurasian boreal forests. We conclude that species-level traits must be considered in global evaluations of the effects of fire on emissions and climate.","This work was financially supported by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Using forest inventory data and long-term ecosystem carbon studies, we estimate a total forest sink of 2.4 ± 0.4 petagrams of carbon per year (Pg C year(-1)) globally for 1990 to 2007. We also estimate a source of 1.3 ± 0.7 Pg C year(-1) from tropical land-use change, consisting of a gross tropical deforestation emission of 2.9 ± 0.5 Pg C year(-1) partially compensated by a carbon sink in tropical forest regrowth of 1.6 ± 0.5 Pg C year(-1). Together, the fluxes comprise a net global forest sink of 1.1 ± 0.8 Pg C year(-1), with tropical estimates having the largest uncertainties. Our total forest sink estimate is equivalent in magnitude to the terrestrial sink deduced from fossil fuel emissions and land-use change sources minus ocean and atmospheric sinks.","Acknowledgments: This study is the major output of two workshops at Peking Univ. and Princeton Univ.

,pub.1008462149,10.1038/ngeo2352,,,,Influence of tree species on continental differences in boreal fires and climate feedbacks,"Wildfires are common in boreal forests around the globe and strongly influence ecosystem processes. However, North American forests support more high-intensity crown fires than Eurasia, where lower-intensity surface fires are common. These two types of fire can result in different net effects on climate as a consequence of their contrasting impacts on terrestrial albedo and carbon stocks. Here we use remote-sensing imagery, climate reanalysis data and forest inventories to evaluate differences in boreal fire dynamics between North America and Eurasia and their key drivers. Eurasian fires were less intense, destroyed less live vegetation, killed fewer trees and generated a smaller negative shortwave forcing. As fire weather conditions were similar across continents, we suggest that different fire dynamics between the two continents resulted from their dominant tree species. In particular, species that have evolved to spread and be consumed by crown fires as part of their life cycle dominate North American boreal forests. In contrast, tree species that have evolved to resist and suppress crown fires dominate Eurasian boreal forests. We conclude that species-level traits must be considered in global evaluations of the effects of fire on emissions and climate.","This work was financially supported by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Using forest inventory data and long-term ecosystem carbon studies, we estimate a total forest sink of 2.4 ± 0.4 petagrams of carbon per year (Pg C year(-1)) globally for 1990 to 2007. We also estimate a source of 1.3 ± 0.7 Pg C year(-1) from tropical land-use change, consisting of a gross tropical deforestation emission of 2.9 ± 0.5 Pg C year(-1) partially compensated by a carbon sink in tropical forest regrowth of 1.6 ± 0.5 Pg C year(-1). Together, the fluxes comprise a net global forest sink of 1.1 ± 0.8 Pg C year(-1), with tropical estimates having the largest uncertainties. Our total forest sink estimate is equivalent in magnitude to the terrestrial sink deduced from fossil fuel emissions and land-use change sources minus ocean and atmospheric sinks.","Acknowledgments: This study is the major output of two workshops at Peking Univ. and Princeton Univ.

,pub.1027288887,10.1056/nejmoa060357,17377158,,,Emergency Duties and Deaths from Heart Disease among Firefighters in the United States,"BACKGROUND: Heart disease causes 45% of the deaths that occur among U.S. firefighters while they are on duty. We examined duty-specific risks of death from coronary heart disease among on-duty U.S. firefighters from 1994 to 2004.
METHODS: We reviewed summaries provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the deaths of all on-duty firefighters between 1994 and 2004, except for deaths associated with the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Estimates of the proportions of time spent by firefighters each year performing various duties were obtained from a municipal fire department, from 17 large metropolitan fire departments, and from a national database. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for death from coronary heart disease during specific duties were calculated from the ratios of the observed odds to the expected odds, with nonemergency duties as the reference category.
RESULTS: Deaths from coronary heart disease were associated with suppressing a fire (32.1% of all such deaths), responding to an alarm (13.4%), returning from an alarm (17.4%), engaging in physical training (12.5%), responding to nonfire emergencies (9.4%), and performing nonemergency duties (15.4%). As compared with the odds of death from coronary heart disease during nonemergency duties, the odds were 12.1 to 136 times as high during fire suppression, 2.8 to 14.1 times as high during alarm response, 2.2 to 10.5 times as high during alarm return, and 2.9 to 6.6 times as high during physical training. These odds were based on three estimates of the time that firefighters spend on their duties.
CONCLUSIONS: Certain emergency firefighting duties were associated with a risk of death from coronary heart disease that was markedly higher than the risk associated with nonemergency duties. Fire suppression was associated with the highest risk, which was approximately 10 to 100 times as high as that for nonemergency duties.","Supported in part by grants from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (T42/CCT122961-02, to Dr. Kales) and the Massachusetts Public Employees Retirement Administration Commission (to Dr. Kales).

SCD is a catastrophic complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and may be the first manifestation of this disease. HCM is an inherited intrinsic disease of the myocardium characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy without chamber dilatation, in the absence of either a systemic or other cardiac disease, which may cause a similar magnitude of hypertrophy. HCM may be a clinically silent disease. Indeed, the pathologist may be the first to encounter a case of HCM at autopsy. HCM has wide-ranging implications for affected families, who will require cardiac screening and genetic counselling even if mutations are not known. Therefore, prompt and accurate diagnosis of HCM is vital.

We sought to identify occupational and personal risk factors associated with on-duty CHD death.MethodsWe performed a case-control study, selecting 52 male firefighters whose CHD deaths were investigated by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. We selected two control populations: 51 male firefighters who died of on-duty trauma; and 310 male firefighters examined in 1996/1997, whose vital status and continued professional activity were re-documented in 1998.ResultsThe circadian pattern of CHD deaths was associated with emergency response calls: 77% of CHD deaths and 61% of emergency dispatches occurred between noon and midnight. Compared to non-emergency duties, fire suppression (OR = 64.1, 95% CI 7.4–556); training (OR = 7.6, 95% CI 1.8–31.3) and alarm response (OR = 5.6, 95% CI 1.1–28.8) carried significantly higher relative risks of CHD death. Compared to the active firefighters, the CHD victims had a significantly higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in multivariate regression models: age ≥ 45 years (OR 6.5, 95% CI 2.6–15.9), current smoking (OR 7.0, 95% CI 2.8–17.4), hypertension (OR 4.7, 95% CI 2.0–11.1), and a prior diagnosis of arterial-occlusive disease (OR 15.6, 95% CI 3.5–68.6).ConclusionsOur findings strongly support that most on-duty CHD fatalities are work-precipitated and occur in firefighters with underlying CHD. Improved fitness promotion, medical screening and medical management could prevent many of these premature deaths.","Supported by research grant OH03729 from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.

,pub.1045328431,10.4278/0890-1171-15.5.296,11502012,,,Financial Impact of Health Promotion Programs: A Comprehensive Review of the Literature,"PURPOSE: The purpose of this review is to summarize the literature on the ability of health promotion programs to reduce employee-related health care expenditures and absenteeism. SEARCH PROCESS: Using key words in a literature-searching program, a comprehensive search was conducted on the following databases: MEDLINE, Embase, HealthSTAR. SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, SciSearch, ERIC, and ABI Inform.
STUDY INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION CRITERIA: All data-based studies that appeared in peer reviewed journals in the English language. Theses, dissertations, or presentation abstracts that were not published in peer reviewed journals were excluded. The initial search identified 196 studies, but only 72 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review.
DATA EXTRACTION METHODS: Summary tables were created that include design classification, subject size, results, and other key information for each study.
DATA SYNTHESIS: Both the nature of the findings and the overall quality of the literature were evaluated in an attempt to answer two questions: Do individuals or populations with high health risks have worse financial outcomes than individuals or populations with low health risks? Do health promotion programs improve financial outcomes?
MAJOR CONCLUSIONS: There are good correlational data to suggest that high levels of stress, excessive body weight, and multiple risk factors are associated with increased health care costs and illness-related absenteeism. The associations between seat belt use, cholesterol, diet, hypertension, and alcohol abuse and absenteeism and health care expenditures are either mixed or unknown. Health promotion programs are associated with lower levels of absenteeism and health care costs, and fitness programs are associated with reduced health care costs.",,,American Journal of Health Promotion,,,SAGE Publications,"0890-1171, 2168-6602",Absenteeism; Cost Control; Cost-Benefit Analysis; Employer Health Costs; Health Expenditures; Health Promotion; Health Services Research; Humans; Occupational Health Services; Program Evaluation; United States; Workplace,2001-05-01,2001,2001-05-01,2001-05,15,5,296-320,Closed,Article,Review Article,"Aldana, S G","Aldana, S G (College of Health and Human Performance, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah 84602-2214, USA.)","Aldana, S G (Brigham Young University)","Aldana, S G (Brigham Young University)",Brigham Young University,grid.253294.b,Provo,Utah,United States,,,,,,383,12,6.85,66.34,44,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1045328431,42 Health Sciences; 4203 Health Services and Systems; 4206 Public Health,Clinical Research; Health Services; Prevention,,,,,"A03 Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy",3 Good Health and Well Being,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
,pub.1032349442,10.1056/nejm199312023292301,8232456,,,Triggering of Acute Myocardial Infarction by Heavy Physical Exertion -- Protection against Triggering by Regular Exertion,"BACKGROUND: Despite anecdotal evidence suggesting that heavy physical exertion can trigger the onset of acute myocardial infarction, there have been no controlled studies of the risk of myocardial infarction during and after heavy exertion, the length of time between heavy exertion and the onset of symptoms (induction time), and whether the risk can be modified by regular physical exertion. To address these questions, we collected data from patients with confirmed myocardial infarction on their activities one hour before the onset of myocardial infarction and during control periods.
METHODS: Interviews with 1228 patients conducted an average of four days after myocardial infarction provided data on their usual annual frequency of physical activity and the time, type, and intensity of physical exertion in the 26 hours before the onset of myocardial infarction. We compared the observed frequency of heavy exertion (6 or more metabolic equivalents) with the expected values using two types of self-matched analyses based on a new case-crossover study design. The low frequency of heavy exertion during the control periods was validated by data from a population-based control group of 218 subjects.
RESULTS: Of the patients, 4.4 percent reported heavy exertion within one hour before the onset of myocardial infarction. The estimated relative risk of myocardial infarction in the hour after heavy physical exertion, as compared with less strenuous physical exertion or none, was 5.9 (95 percent confidence interval, 4.6 to 7.7), Among people who usually exercised less than one, one to two, three to four, or five or more times per week, the respective relative risks were 107 (95 percent confidence interval, 67 to 171), 19.4 (9.9 to 38.1), 8.6 (3.6 to 20.5), and 2.4 (1.5 to 3.7). Thus, increasing levels of habitual physical activity were associated with progressively lower relative risks. The induction time from heavy exertion to the onset of myocardial infarction was less than one hour, and symptoms usually began during the activity.
CONCLUSIONS: Heavy physical exertion can trigger the onset of acute myocardial infarction, particularly in people who are habitually sedentary. Improved understanding of the mechanisms by which heavy physical exertion triggers the onset of myocardial infarction and the manner in which regular exertion protects against it would facilitate the design of new preventive approaches.","Presented in part at the 64th Annual Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association, Anaheim, Calif., November 11-14, 1991.

,pub.1026313776,10.1056/nejm199312023292302,8232457,,,Physical Exertion as a Trigger of Acute Myocardial Infarction,"BACKGROUND: It is controversial whether the onset of myocardial infarction occurs randomly or is precipitated by identifiable stimuli. Previous studies have suggested a higher risk of cardiac events in association with exertion.
METHODS: Consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction were identified by recording all admissions to our hospital in Berlin and by monitoring a general population of 330,000 residents in Augsburg, Germany. Information on the circumstances of each infarction was obtained by means of standardized interviews. The data analysis included a comparison of patients with matched controls and a case-crossover comparison (one in which each patient serves as his or her own control) of the patient's usual frequency of exertion with the last episode of exertion before the onset of myocardial infarction.
RESULTS: From January 1989 through December 1991, 1194 patients (74 percent of whom were men; mean age [+/- SD], 61 +/- 9 years) completed the interview 13 +/- 6 days after infarction. We found that 7.1 percent of the case patients had engaged in physical exertion (> or = 6 metabolic equivalents) at the onset of infarction, as compared with 3.9 percent of the controls at the onset of the control event. For the patients as compared with the matched controls, the adjusted relative risk of having engaged in strenuous physical activity at the onset of infarction or the control event was 2.1 (95 percent confidence interval, 1.1 to 3.6). The case-crossover comparison yielded a similar relative risk of 2.1 (95 percent confidence interval, 1.6 to 3.1) for having engaged in strenuous physical activity within one hour before myocardial infarction. Patients whose frequency of regular exercise was less than four and four or more times per week had relative risks of 6.9 and 1.3, respectively (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: A period of strenuous physical activity is associated with a temporary increase in the risk of having a myocardial infarction, particularly among patients who exercise infrequently. These findings should aid in the identification of the triggering mechanisms for myocardial infarction and improve prevention of this common and serious disorder.","Supported in part by grants from the Schwarz Pharma Company and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Wi 957/2-1).

BACKGROUND: A higher frequency of onset of acute myocardial infarction has been reported in the morning with a peak in the 1st 3 h after awakening. This observation suggests that the onset of infarction may be triggered by activity in the morning and at other times of the day.
METHODS: The clinical history of the 3,339 patients entered into the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction phase II study was analyzed to determine characteristics predicting a higher frequency of infarction between 6 AM and noon, and onset of infarction during exertion.
RESULTS: A higher proportion (34.4%) of infarctions began in the morning (6 AM to noon) compared with other times of the day. Characteristics independently predicting a higher frequency between 6 AM to noon were no beta-adrenergic blocking agent use in the 24 h before infarction, no discomfort other than the index pain in the preceding 48 h, occurrence of the infarction on a weekday and no history of current smoking. In 18.7% of patients, infarction occurred during moderate or marked physical activity. Independent predictors of exertion-related infarction included male gender, no history of current smoking, white race, no use of calcium channel blocking agents or nitrates in the preceding 24 h, the absence of either chest pain at rest in the 3 weeks before infarction or any pain in the preceding 48 h, the absence of new onset angina and the presence of exertional pain in the preceding 3 weeks. Compared with patients whose infarction occurred at rest or during mild activity, those with exertion-related infarction had fewer coronary vessels with > or = 60% stenosis (p = 0.002) and were more likely to have an occluded infarct-related vessel after thrombolytic therapy (p = 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Further study of the timing and activity at onset of infarction may provide insight into the pathophysiologic mechanisms causing acute myocardial infarction and provide clues to preventive measures.",,,Journal of the American College of Cardiology,,,Elsevier,"0735-1097, 1558-3597",Analysis of Variance; Circadian Rhythm; Humans; Myocardial Infarction; Physical Exertion; Prognosis; Regression Analysis; Thrombolytic Therapy; Time Factors,1992-11,1992,,1992-11,20,5,1049-1055,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Tofler, Geoffrey H.; Muller, James E.; Stone, Peter H.; Forman, Sandra; Solomon, Rachel E.; Knatterud, Genell L.; Braunwald, Eugene","Tofler, Geoffrey H.

Cases were classified according to their activity at the time of cardiac arrest and the amount of their habitual vigorous activity. From interviews with wives of a random sample of healthy men, we estimated the amount of time members of the community spent in vigorous activity. Among men with low levels of habitual activity, the relative risk of cardiac arrest during exercise compared with that at other times was 56 (95 per cent confidence limits, 23 to 131). The risk during exercise among men at the highest level of habitual activity was also elevated, but only by a factor of 5 (95 per cent confidence limits, 2 to 14). However, among the habitually vigorous men, the overall risk of cardiac arrest--i.e., during and not during vigorous activity--was only 40 per cent that of the sedentary men (95 per cent confidence limits, 0.23 to 0.67). Although the risk of primary cardiac arrest is transiently increased during vigorous exercise, habitual vigorous exercise is associated with an overall decreased risk of primary cardiac arrest.","Supported by a grant (HL 26208–02) from the National Institutes of Health and a grant from the Graduate School Research Fund of the University of Washington.

Previously, we located a gene defect that was responsible for autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy and conduction-system disease on chromosome 1p1-q21, where nuclear-envelope proteins lamin A and lamin C are encoded by the LMNA (lamin A/C) gene. Mutations in the head or tail domain of this gene cause Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, a childhood-onset disease characterized by joint contractures and in some cases by abnormalities of cardiac conduction during adulthood.
METHODS: We evaluated 11 families with autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy and conduction-system disease. Sequences of the lamin A/C exons were determined in probands from each family, and variants were confirmed by restriction-enzyme digestion. The genotypes of the family members were ascertained.
RESULTS: Five novel missense mutations were identified: four in the alpha-helical-rod domain of the lamin A/C gene, and one in the lamin C tail domain. Each mutation caused heritable, progressive conduction-system disease (sinus bradycardia, atrioventricular conduction block, or atrial arrhythmias) and dilated cardiomyopathy. Heart failure and sudden death occurred frequently within these families. No family members with mutations had either joint contractures or skeletal myopathy. Serum creatine kinase levels were normal in family members with mutations of the lamin rod but mildly elevated in some family members with a defect in the tail domain of lamin C.
CONCLUSIONS: Genetic defects in distinct domains of the nuclear-envelope proteins lamin A and lamin C selectively cause dilated cardiomyopathy with conduction-system disease or autosomal dominant Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. Missense mutations in the rod domain of the lamin A/C gene provide a genetic cause for dilated cardiomyopathy and indicate that this intermediate filament protein has an important role in cardiac conduction and contractility.","Supported by the Stanley J.

BACKGROUND: Despite several previous reports on families with DCM, most cases are still believed to be sporadic, and specific clinical findings of the familial form are not well defined.
METHODS: In 445 consecutive patients with angiographically proven DCM, we obtained detailed family histories to construct pedigrees and examined 970 first- and second-degree family members.
RESULTS: Familial DCM was confirmed in 48 (10.8%) of the 445 index patients and was suspected in 108 (24.2%). The 156 patients with suspected or confirmed familial disease were younger at the time of diagnosis (p < 0.03) and more often revealed electrocardiographic changes (p = 0.0003) than patients with nonfamilial disease. Among the families of the 48 index patients with confirmed familial disease, five phenotypes of familial DCM could be identified: 1) DCM with muscular dystrophy; 2) juvenile DCM with a rapid progressive course in male relatives without muscular dystrophy; 3) DCM with segmental hypokinesia of the left ventricle; 4) DCM with conduction defects; and 5) DCM with sensorineural hearing loss.
CONCLUSIONS: Up to 35% of patients with DCM may have an inherited disorder. Distinct clinical phenotypes can be observed in some families, suggesting a common molecular cause of the disease.","AcknowledgementsWe thank Frank Brenn, Per Barlin and Andreas Benz for technical assistance and Erich Kuhn, MD and Han Peter Vosberg, MD for helpful discussions and suggestions.

,pub.1035639438,10.1136/hrt.73.5.417,7786655,PMC483856,,Familial dilated cardiomyopathy in the United Kingdom.,"OBJECTIVES: To determine the frequency and mode of inheritance of familial dilated cardiomyopathy in the United Kingdom.
BACKGROUND: Two recent prospective studies have suggested that familial forms of dilated cardiomyopathy are common but have been limited by selective screening methods, inadequate diagnostic criteria, and low rates of ascertainment.
METHODS: Prospective screening study of 236 relatives from 40 families of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Screening consisted of clinical examination, 12 lead electrocardiogram, and two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography. Relatives with systemic hypertension and other cardiac diseases were excluded from the study. All echocardiograms were performed by an experienced echocardiographer who was blinded to clinical information. Relatives were classified as having dilated cardiomyopathy, left ventricular enlargement (method of Henry), depressed fractional shortening, or as being normal. Relatives with abnormal investigations underwent further evaluation as appropriate.
RESULTS: Twenty five cases of dilated cardiomyopathy were identified and came from 10 (25%) of the 40 families screened. Pedigree analysis was most consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance and variable penetrance (65-95%). Of the remaining apparently healthy relatives, 37 (18%) were found to have left ventricular enlargement and nine (4%) depressed fractional shortening; these values were significantly higher than those observed in 239 healthy controls (24 (10%), P = 0.02 and one (0.4%), P = 0.01, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with dilated cardiomyopathy commonly have an affected family member and a high proportion of apparently healthy relatives with minor echocardiographic abnormalities. Segregation analysis suggests that familial dilated cardiomyopathy is the result of the transmission of a rare autosomal dominant gene. Further studies are currently underway to characterise the molecular basis of familial dilated cardiomyopathy and identify early disease within these families.",,,Heart,,,BMJ,"1355-6037, 1468-201X, 0007-0769","Adolescent; Adult; Cardiomyopathy, Dilated; Child; Echocardiography, Doppler; Electrocardiography; Female; Genes, Dominant; Humans; Male; Mass Screening; Middle Aged; Pedigree; Prospective Studies",1995-05-01,1995,1995-05-01,1995-05-01,73,5,417,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Keeling, P.

A population-based study.,"OBJECTIVE: To describe the prognosis of individuals with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in a population-based sample and to compare this with the prognosis of patients in a previous referral center case series of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
DESIGN: Cohort study.
SETTING: Population-based in Olmsted County, Minnesota.
PATIENTS: Forty residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy initially diagnosed between 1975 and 1984 who were followed through 1 July 1989 and 104 patients from a Mayo Clinic referral case series from 1960 to 1973.
MEASUREMENTS: Survival for the population-based cohort at 1 year and 5 years.
RESULTS: Survival at 1 year differed dramatically between the population-based cohort and the referral case series at 1 year (95% compared with 69%, respectively) and at 5 years (80% compared with 36%, respectively) (P less than 0.001). Long-term survival for the population-based cohort was nonetheless impaired when compared with an age- and sex-matched cohort, that is, the 1980 Minnesota white population (8-year survival: observed, 58% compared with expected, 83%; P less than 0.001). Among community patients, older age (adjusted Cox model hazard ratio for 10-year increase in age, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.08 to 2.35) and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (adjusted hazard ratio for 10% decrease, 1.90; CI, 1.04 to 3.50) were independently associated with impaired survival.
CONCLUSIONS: These population-based data challenge the clinical perception of the clinical course of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy based on referral practice prognostic studies and suggest that the clinical course of this condition may be more favorable than previously recognized.",,,Annals of Internal Medicine,,,American College of Physicians,"1056-8751, 1539-8560, 0003-4819, 1539-3704","Cardiomyopathy, Dilated; Female; Follow-Up Studies; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Prognosis; Referral and Consultation; Risk Factors; Survival Rate",1992-07-15,1992,,1992-07-15,117,2,117-23,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Sugrue, D D; Rodeheffer, R J; Codd, M B; Ballard, D J; Fuster, V; Gersh, B J","Sugrue, D D (Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.); Rodeheffer, R J (); Codd, M B (); Ballard, D J (); Fuster, V (); Gersh, B J ()",,"Sugrue, D D (Mayo Clinic); Rodeheffer, R J (); Codd, M B (); Ballard, D J (); Fuster, V (); Gersh, B J ()",Mayo Clinic,grid.66875.3a,Rochester,Minnesota,United States,National Heart Lung and Blood Institute; National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases,US Federal Funders; NIH - National Institutes of Health; ICRP - International Cancer Research Partnership,United States; United States,grant.2462500; grant.2530096,R01AR030582; R01HL024326,163,3,4.45,,9,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1073696661,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 3202 Clinical Sciences,Cardiovascular; Clinical Research; Heart Disease; Rare Diseases,Cardiovascular,4.2 Evaluation of markers and technologies,,,A01 Clinical Medicine,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Recognizing the economic implications of IDC, the increasing incidence, and the limited information on pathogenesis and prognosis, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute convened a workshop on the Prevalence and Etiology of Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy on June 13 to 14, 1991. The difficulties of studying the disease were reviewed, including its relatively low prevalence, its potentially pluricausal nature, and the fact that it is often a diagnosis of exclusion. Still, it presents significant challenges to the cardiovascular scientific community, since the mechanism of myocardial damage and related etiologic and prognostic factors are virtually unknown. The development of more reliable measures of immune-mediated damage and noninvasive measures of impaired cardiac function present new research opportunities in this disorder. Standardized diagnostic criteria for use in observational and interventional trials were developed, and priorities for future research were proposed. Population-based registries and nested case-control studies, where feasible, are appropriate study designs for tracking incidence and prevalence, and for identifying risk factors, respectively. Interventional studies should focus on secondary prevention, through modifying immune-mediated damage in clinically evident dilated cardiomyopathy, and through prevention of sudden death in patients with the disorder. Primary prevention trials must await the identification of modifiable risk factors and of appropriate and effective interventions.",,,The American Journal of Cardiology,,,Elsevier,"0002-9149, 1879-1913","Cardiomyopathy, Dilated; Humans; Incidence; Prevalence",1992-06,1992,,1992-06,69,17,1458-1466,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Manolio, Teri A.; Baughman, Kenneth L.; Rodeheffer, Richard; Pearson, Thomas A.; Bristow, J.David; Michels, Virginia V.; Abelmann, Walter H.; Harlan, William R.","Manolio, Teri A.

Most cases are believed to be sporadic, and familial dilated cardiomyopathy is usually considered to be a rare and distinct disorder. We studied the proportion of cases of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy that were familial in a large sequential series of patients whose first-degree relatives were investigated regardless of whether these relatives had cardiac symptoms.
METHODS: We studied relatives of 59 index patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy of obtaining a family history and performing a physical examination, electrocardiography, and two-dimensional, M-mode, and Doppler echocardiography. A total of 315 relatives were examined.
RESULTS: Eighteen relatives from 12 families were shown to have dilated cardiomyopathy. Thus, 12 of the 59 index patients (20.3 percent) had familial disease. There was no difference in age, sex, severity of disease, exposure to selected environmental factors, or electrocardiographic or echocardiographic features between the index patients with familial disease and those with nonfamilial disease. A noteworthy finding was that 22 of 240 healthy relatives (9.2 percent) with normal ejection fractions had increased left ventricular diameters during systole or diastole (or both), as compared with 2 of 112 healthy control subjects (1.8 percent) who were studied separately.
CONCLUSIONS: Dilated cardiomyopathy was found to be familial in at least one in five of the patients in this study, a considerably higher percentage than in previous reports. This finding has important implications for family screening and provides direction for further investigation into the causes and natural history of dilated cardiomyopathy.","Supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health (R01 HL36879) and the Minnesota Heart Association.

The following parameters were independent predictors of mortality: first symptom: pulmonary oedema, peripheral oedema, syncope; duration of symptoms at the time of inclusion; end systolic left ventricular volume; end diastolic left ventricular diameter; pulmonary artery systolic pressure; and their combination had the most accurate predictive value for death. A quantitative score (s) was calculated and used to define three subgroups: A:s less than or equal to 4.5; B: 4.5 less than s less than 6; C:s greater than or equal to 6.

The average (SD) interval from the onset of symptoms to death was 4.1 (3.7) years. One year and five year mortality rates were 27.8% and 57.4% respectively. Most of the deaths occurred within two years of diagnosis. The only difference between survivors and those who died was in the severity of left ventricular dysfunction at the time of referral. Significant differences between survivors and non-survivors were found for left ventricular end diastolic pressure (17.3 versus 23.4 mm Hg), left ventricular end systolic volume (87.4 versus 128.9 ml/m2), left ventricular end diastolic volume (130.7 versus 173.2 ml/m2), and ejection fraction (32.8 versus 25.4%). The duration of previous symptoms, preceding virus infection, positive family history, recent pregnancy, or heavy alcohol intake did not seem to influence prognosis. Nor did treatment, which was similar in both groups with a quarter of the patients receiving vasodilators. Patients with dilated cardiomyopathy have a high mortality irrespective of treatment.

Twenty-one percent of the patients had a history of excessive consumption of alcohol, 20 percent had had a severe influenza-like syndrome within 60 days before the appearance of cardiac manifestations and 8 percent had had rheumatic fever without involvement of cardiac valves several years before; thus, possible etiologic risk factors of infectious-immunologic type may be important. Eighty patients (77 percent) had an accelerated course to death, with two thirds of the deaths occurring within the first 2 years. Twenty-four patients (23 percent) survived, and 18 of them had clinical improvement and a normal or reduced heart size. Univariate analysis at the time of diagnosis revealed three factors that were highly predictive (p less than 0.01) of the clinical course: age, cardiothoracic ratio on chest roentgenography and cardiac index.

Indeed, the precise language used to describe these diseases is profoundly important. A new contemporary and rigorous classification of cardiomyopathies (with definitions) is proposed here. This reference document affords an important framework and measure of clarity to this heterogeneous group of diseases. Of particular note, the present classification scheme recognizes the rapid evolution of molecular genetics in cardiology, as well as the introduction of several recently described diseases, and is unique in that it incorporates ion channelopathies as a primary cardiomyopathy.","The American Heart Association makes every effort to avoid any actual or potential conflicts of interest that may arise as a result of an outside relationship or a personal, professional, or business interest of a member of the writing panel.

,pub.1045328431,10.4278/0890-1171-15.5.296,11502012,,,Financial Impact of Health Promotion Programs: A Comprehensive Review of the Literature,"PURPOSE: The purpose of this review is to summarize the literature on the ability of health promotion programs to reduce employee-related health care expenditures and absenteeism. SEARCH PROCESS: Using key words in a literature-searching program, a comprehensive search was conducted on the following databases: MEDLINE, Embase, HealthSTAR. SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, SciSearch, ERIC, and ABI Inform.
STUDY INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION CRITERIA: All data-based studies that appeared in peer reviewed journals in the English language. Theses, dissertations, or presentation abstracts that were not published in peer reviewed journals were excluded. The initial search identified 196 studies, but only 72 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review.
DATA EXTRACTION METHODS: Summary tables were created that include design classification, subject size, results, and other key information for each study.
DATA SYNTHESIS: Both the nature of the findings and the overall quality of the literature were evaluated in an attempt to answer two questions: Do individuals or populations with high health risks have worse financial outcomes than individuals or populations with low health risks? Do health promotion programs improve financial outcomes?
MAJOR CONCLUSIONS: There are good correlational data to suggest that high levels of stress, excessive body weight, and multiple risk factors are associated with increased health care costs and illness-related absenteeism. The associations between seat belt use, cholesterol, diet, hypertension, and alcohol abuse and absenteeism and health care expenditures are either mixed or unknown. Health promotion programs are associated with lower levels of absenteeism and health care costs, and fitness programs are associated with reduced health care costs.",,,American Journal of Health Promotion,,,SAGE Publications,"0890-1171, 2168-6602",Absenteeism; Cost Control; Cost-Benefit Analysis; Employer Health Costs; Health Expenditures; Health Promotion; Health Services Research; Humans; Occupational Health Services; Program Evaluation; United States; Workplace,2001-05-01,2001,2001-05-01,2001-05,15,5,296-320,Closed,Article,Review Article,"Aldana, S G","Aldana, S G (College of Health and Human Performance, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah 84602-2214, USA.)","Aldana, S G (Brigham Young University)","Aldana, S G (Brigham Young University)",Brigham Young University,grid.253294.b,Provo,Utah,United States,,,,,,383,12,6.85,66.34,44,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1045328431,42 Health Sciences; 4203 Health Services and Systems; 4206 Public Health,Clinical Research; Health Services; Prevention,,,,,"A03 Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy",3 Good Health and Well Being,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Effectiveness depends on the participation of those employees who are at increased risk of ill health. HealthPlus Health Quotient is an incentive/disincentive approach to health promotion. The employer's contribution to the employee cafeteria-plan benefit package is adjusted on the basis of an annual health risk appraisal. We evaluated whether this financial incentive/disincentive predicted participation in health promotion activities, and whether participation improved future health risk and productivity. In the first year, participation was proportional to overall health risk (P < 0.01). Participation in targeted programs was proportional to levels of body fat, cholesterol, and blood pressure.

However, the role of physical activity in precipitating or preventing sudden death has not been assessed prospectively in a large number of subjects.
METHODS: We used a prospective, nested case-crossover design within the Physicians' Health Study to compare the risk of sudden death during and up to 30 minutes after an episode of vigorous exertion with that during periods of lighter exertion or none. We then evaluated whether habitual vigorous exercise modified the risk of sudden death that was associated with vigorous exertion. In addition, the relation of vigorous exercise to the overall risk of sudden death and nonsudden death from coronary heart disease was assessed.
RESULTS: During 12 years of follow-up, 122 sudden deaths were confirmed among the 21,481 male physicians who were initially free of self-reported cardiovascular disease and who provided information on their habitual level of exercise at base line. The relative risk of-sudden death during and up to 30 minutes after vigorous exertion was 16.9 (95 percent confidence interval, 10.5 to 27.0; P<0.001). However, the absolute risk of sudden death during any particular episode of vigorous exertion was extremely low (1 sudden death per 1.51 million episodes of exertion). Habitual vigorous exercise attenuated the relative risk of sudden death that was associated with an episode of vigorous exertion (P value for trend=0.006). The base-line level of exercise was not associated with the overall risk of subsequent sudden death.
CONCLUSIONS: These prospective data from a study of U.S. male physicians suggest that habitual vigorous exercise diminishes the risk of sudden death during vigorous exertion.","Supported by grants (CA-40360 and HL-34595) from the National Institutes of Health.

BACKGROUND: Abnormal blood pressure response to exercise has been proposed as a marker for hemodynamic instability and increased risk for disease-related mortality in highly selected patient populations with HCM.
METHODS: The study population comprised 126 patients (aged 42+/-14 years) who underwent maximal symptom-limited cycloergometer exercise testing as part of the standard evaluation at our institution, and who were followed systematically for 4.7+/-3.7 years after testing.
RESULTS: Of the 126 study patients, 98 (78%) had a normal blood pressure response during exercise, whereas the other 28 (22%) had ABPR, including nine with hypotension and 19 with failed blood pressure rise. During the follow-up period, nine patients (7%) died of HCM-related causes (three suddenly and six heart failure-related), of whom four had ABPR. In those patients aged < or =50 years, survival analysis after exercise testing showed a significantly increased risk for cardiovascular mortality associated with ABPR compared with a normal exercise response (p = 0.04), with an odds ratio of 4.5 (95% confidence interval: 1.1, 20.1). However, ABPR showed low positive predictive accuracy for cardiovascular mortality (i.e., 14%), whereas negative predictive accuracy was high (i.e., 95%).
CONCLUSIONS: A hypotensive blood pressure response during exercise occurred in over 20% of a community-based patient cohort with HCM, and was associated with adverse long-term prognosis in patients <50 years old. However, the positive predictive accuracy of this blood pressure response is too low to justify modifications of clinical management or to allow identification of the high-risk patient based solely on an abnormal test result. By virtue of its high negative predictive accuracy for HCM-related mortality, the blood pressure response to exercise appears to be most valuable (in conjunction with the absence of other well recognized risk factors) as a screening test for the identification of low-risk subsets of patients.",,,Journal of the American College of Cardiology,,,Elsevier,"0735-1097, 1558-3597","Adult; Aged; Blood Pressure; Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic; Echocardiography, Doppler; Exercise; Female; Follow-Up Studies; Humans; Italy; Male; Middle Aged; Odds Ratio; Population Surveillance; Prognosis; Prospective Studies; Reproducibility of Results; Survival Rate",1999-06,1999,,1999-06,33,7,2044-2051,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Olivotto, Iacopo; Maron, Barry J; Montereggi, Alessio; Mazzuoli, Francesco; Dolara, Alberto; Cecchi, Franco","Olivotto, Iacopo (Cardiologia di S.Luca and Medicina Generale III, Ospedale di Careggi, Florence, Italy); Maron, Barry J (Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA); Montereggi, Alessio (Cardiologia di S.Luca and Medicina Generale III, Ospedale di Careggi, Florence, Italy); Mazzuoli, Francesco (Cardiologia di S.Luca and Medicina Generale III, Ospedale di Careggi, Florence, Italy); Dolara, Alberto (Cardiologia di S.Luca and Medicina Generale III, Ospedale di Careggi, Florence, Italy); Cecchi, Franco (Cardiologia di S.Luca and Medicina Generale III, Ospedale di Careggi, Florence, Italy)","Maron, Barry J (Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation)","Olivotto, Iacopo (Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Careggi); Maron, Barry J (Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation); Montereggi, Alessio (Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Careggi); Mazzuoli, Francesco (Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Careggi); Dolara, Alberto (Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Careggi); Cecchi, Franco (Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Careggi)",Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Careggi; Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation,grid.24704.35; grid.480845.5,Florence; Minneapolis,; Minnesota,Italy; United States,,,,,,229,18,3.74,,27,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1037683781,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 3201 Cardiovascular Medicine and Haematology; 3202 Clinical Sciences,Cardiovascular; Clinical Research; Heart Disease; Pediatric; Pediatric Cardiomyopathy; Physical Activity; Prevention; Rare Diseases,Cardiovascular,4.2 Evaluation of markers and technologies,,,A01 Clinical Medicine,3 Good Health and Well Being,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

This exploratory study measures CO concentration within the breathing zone of chainsaw operators during motor-manual operations, and discusses the potential influences on CO exposure levels. A CO monitoring instrument was paired with a concurrent video recording of task activities to enable correlation of exact working operations to critical exposure levels. Multiple streams of meteorological data were also collected from sensors worn by the eight professional tree fellers/log makers. Time-weighted averages were applied to investigate levels of CO exposure during a nominal 1-hr monitoring period. The differing task demands and environment were found to influence worker exposure to CO, supporting previous research.

The effectiveness of vibration-reducing (VR) gloves for reducing hand transmitted vibration to the fingers has not been sufficiently examined.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to examine tool-specific performance of VR gloves for reducing finger-transmitted vibrations in three orthogonal directions (3D) from powered hand tools.
METHODS: A transfer function method was used to estimate the tool-specific effectiveness of four typical VR gloves. The transfer functions of the VR glove fingers in three directions were either measured in this study or during a previous study using a 3D laser vibrometer. More than seventy vibration spectra of various tools or machines were used in the estimations.
RESULTS: When assessed based on frequency-weighted acceleration, the gloves provided little vibration reduction. In some cases, the gloves amplified the vibration by more than 10%, especially the neoprene glove. However, the neoprene glove did the best when the assessment was based on unweighted acceleration. The neoprene glove was able to reduce the vibration by 10% or more of the unweighted vibration for 27 out of the 79 tools. If the dominant vibration of a tool handle or workpiece was in the shear direction relative to the fingers, as observed in the operation of needle scalers, hammer chisels, and bucking bars, the gloves did not reduce the vibration but increased it.
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirmed that the effectiveness for reducing vibration varied with the gloves and the vibration reduction of each glove depended on tool, vibration direction to the fingers, and finger location. VR gloves, including certified anti-vibration gloves do not provide much vibration reduction when judged based on frequency-weighted acceleration. However, some of the VR gloves can provide more than 10% reduction of the unweighted vibration for some tools or workpieces. Tools and gloves can be matched for better effectiveness for protecting the fingers.",,,Occupational Ergonomics,,"Michele Oliver, Tammy Eger",IOS Press,"1359-9364, 1875-9092",,2016,2016,,2016,13,1,23-44,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Welcome, Daniel E.; Dong, Ren G.; Xu, Xueyan S.; Warren, Christopher; McDowell, Thomas W.","Welcome, Daniel E.

This commentary describes some of the issues that surround the classification of AV gloves, the assessment of their effectiveness and their applicability in the workplace. The available information shows that AV gloves are unreliable as devices for controlling HTV exposures. Other means of vibration control, such as using alternative production techniques, low-vibration machinery, routine preventative maintenance regimes, and controlling exposure durations are far more likely to deliver effective vibration reductions and should be implemented. Furthermore, AV gloves may introduce some adverse effects such as increasing grip force and reducing manual dexterity. Therefore, one should balance the benefits of AV gloves and their potential adverse effects if their use is considered.",,This publication and the work it describes were funded by the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).,Annals of Work Exposures and Health,,,Oxford University Press (OUP),"2398-7308, 2398-7316, 0003-4878, 1475-3162","Arm Injuries; Biomechanical Phenomena; Gloves, Protective; Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome; Humans; Models, Theoretical; Occupational Exposure; Vibration",2014-11-07,2014,2014-11-07,2015-03,59,2,127-141,All OA; Bronze,Article,Other Journal Content,"Hewitt, Sue; Dong, Ren G.; Welcome, Daniel E.; McDowell, Thomas W.","Hewitt, Sue (Health and Safety Laboratory, Harpur Hill, Buxton, Derbyshire, SK17 9JN, UK;); Dong, Ren G.

However, there are few studies directly linking occupational exposures to respiratory effects in this population. Our objective was to characterize wildland fire fighting occupational exposures and assess their associations with cross-shift changes in lung function. We studied 17 members of the Alpine Interagency Hotshot Crew with environmental sampling and pulmonary function testing during a large wildfire. We characterized particles by examining size distribution and mass concentration, and conducting elemental and morphological analyses. We examined associations between cross-shift lung function change and various analytes, including levoglucosan, an indicator of wood smoke from burning biomass. The levoglucosan component of the wildfire aerosol showed a predominantly bimodal size distribution: a coarse particle mode with a mass median aerodynamic diameter about 12 μm and a fine particle mode with a mass median aerodynamic diameter < 0.5 μm. Levoglucosan was found mainly in the respirable fraction and its concentration was higher for fire line construction operations than for mop-up operations. Larger cross-shift declines in forced expiratory volume in one second were associated with exposure to higher concentrations of respirable levoglucosan (p < 0.05). Paired analyses of real-time personal air sampling measurements indicated that higher carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations were correlated with higher particulate concentrations when examined by mean values, but not by individual data points. However, low CO concentrations did not provide reliable assurance of concomitantly low particulate concentrations. We conclude that inhalation of fine smoke particles is associated with acute lung function decline in some wildland firefighters. Based on short-term findings, it appears important to address possible long-term respiratory health issues for wildland firefighters. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.

METHODS: A taxonomy of psychosocial constructs was developed using existing taxonomies and criteria regarding the malleability, actionability, and validity of constructs. Panel members identified measures for each construct based on their expertise and experience. Measures were selected on the basis of the following criteria: practicality, brevity, validity, availability of existing data, and lack of confounds between psychosocial constructs and outcomes.
RESULTS: The panel came to a consensus in recommending 24 measures representing 22 constructs.
CONCLUSIONS: It is important that the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health regularly evaluates its methodologies to ensure it is in line with current best practices. The measures identified will be used modularly in the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health fieldwork depending on the nature of the evaluation request, industry type, and worker population.",,,Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine,,,Wolters Kluwer,"1076-2752, 1536-5948","Humans; Interpersonal Relations; National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, U.S.; Organizational Culture; Stress, Psychological; Surveys and Questionnaires; United States; Work; Workload",2012-03,2012,,2012-03,54,3,350-355,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Wiegand, Douglas M.; Chen, Peter Y.; Hurrell, Joseph J.; Jex, Steve; Nakata, Akinori; Nigam, Jeannie A.; Robertson, Michelle; Tetrick, Lois E.","Wiegand, Douglas M.

Traditional theories assume that tinnitus is triggered by cochlear damage, but many tinnitus patients present with a normal audiogram, i.e., with no direct signs of cochlear damage. Here, we report that in human subjects with tinnitus and a normal audiogram, auditory brainstem responses show a significantly reduced amplitude of the wave I potential (generated by primary auditory nerve fibers) but normal amplitudes of the more centrally generated wave V. This provides direct physiological evidence of ""hidden hearing loss"" that manifests as reduced neural output from the cochlea, and consequent renormalization of neuronal response magnitude within the brainstem. Employing an established computational model, we demonstrate how tinnitus could arise from a homeostatic response of neurons in the central auditory system to reduced auditory nerve input in the absence of elevated hearing thresholds.",,"This study was supported by the British Tinnitus Association.

DESIGN: A survey completed when joining the wellness center. Setting . Employee wellness center.
SUBJECTS: Survey that inquired about stress, health behaviors, and quality of life of more than 13,000 employees joining a wellness center.
MEASURES: A series of questions about current health status and health behaviors.
ANALYSIS: Two-sample t-tests assuming unequal variances.
RESULTS: A total of 2147 of these employees reported having high stress levels. Employees with high stress levels had statistically significant lower quality of life, more fatigue, and poorer health compared with employees with low stress levels. In terms of their ability and motivation to participate in wellness programs, the high-stress employees were also less active and had less healthy nutritional habits, less support, and less confidence in their ability to be active. They also reported having more health problems, including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, and overweight.
CONCLUSIONS: It appears that employees with high stress levels--those who might most benefit from participation in wellness programs--may experience the greatest difficulty participating actively in wellness programs because of their lack of support, low confidence, and numerous health problems. Perhaps offering tailored stress reduction programs for these employees would be beneficial.",,,American Journal of Health Promotion,,,SAGE Publications,"0890-1171, 2168-6602","Adaptation, Psychological; Adult; Data Collection; Fatigue; Female; Health Behavior; Health Promotion; Health Status; Humans; Life Style; Male; Nutritional Status; Occupational Health; Psychometrics; Quality of Life; Risk Assessment; Self Report; Social Marketing; Stress, Psychological",2011-09-01,2011,2011-09-01,2011-09,26,1,21-25,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Clark, Matthew M.; Warren, Beth A.; Hagen, Philip T.; Johnson, Bruce D.; Jenkins, Sarah M.; Werneburg, Brooke L.; Olsen, Kerry D.","Clark, Matthew M.

A questionnaire might be a cheaper alternative.
AIMS: To develop a questionnaire to help determine the prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in the vernacular (language) of a developing country and to validate it against an audiometric standard.
METHODS: A questionnaire was developed, translated and administered in a face-to-face interview. Otoscopic examination was followed by conventional pure-tone audiometry (at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 kHz) for both ears of each respondent. The questionnaire responses were compared to the audiometric standard.
RESULTS: Two hundred and fifty workers from three companies (two printing and one woodworking) participated in this study. The sensitivity of the hearing loss questionnaire in detecting noise-induced hearing loss was 32%, while its specificity was 79%. There was an evidence to suggest good agreement (r = 0.523) between the total number of years worked in noisy jobs and NIHL (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The questionnaire developed in this study was found to have an unacceptably low sensitivity for noise-induced hearing loss and therefore cannot be a valid substitute for audiometry. Pure tone industrial audiometry needs to be used more widely than currently in developing countries.",,,Occupational Medicine,,,Oxford University Press (OUP),"0962-7480, 1471-8405","Adult; Cross-Sectional Studies; Female; Hearing Loss, Noise-Induced; Humans; Male; Mass Screening; Middle Aged; Occupational Diseases; Prevalence; Reproducibility of Results; Sensitivity and Specificity; Surveys and Questionnaires; United Kingdom; Young Adult",2011-08-16,2011,2011-08-16,2011-09-01,61,6,416-421,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Rosso, M.; Agius, R.; Calleja, N.","Rosso, M.

A mechanistic link clarifying the intermediate steps between the experience of stress and the development of CVD would support this association. We sought to examine the role of perceived stress as a factor associated with disturbed sleep with the goal of providing an explanation for the stress-CVD connection. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of data recorded by subjects at entry to our CVD prevention program. Data collection included questionnaire surveys, anthropometrics, and a CVD-relevant laboratory panel. Of 350 consecutively enrolled subjects (mean age 54.4 ± 12.4 [SD] years, 138 men, 39%), 165 (47%) scored above the mean for stress measures. These high-stress subjects displayed an increased cardiovascular risk profile including elevated body mass index (mean ± SD 31.1 ± 5.9 vs. 29.0 ± 5.9, r(s) = 0.175), increased waist circumference (102 ± 17 cm vs. 98 ± 14, r(s) = 0.135), and elevated high-sensitivity serum C-reactive protein (0.384 mg/dl vs. 0.356, r(s) = 0.109). High-stress subjects also demonstrated greater daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale: 10.4 ± 5.0 vs. 7.8 ± 4.8, r(s) < 0.316), greater fatigue (fatigue scale: 5.4 ± 2.2 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4, r(s) = 0.484), poorer sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index: 8.5 ± 4.4 vs. 5.9 ± 4.0, r(s) = 0.416), and shorter sleep duration (20 min less/24 h, r(s) = negative 0.177) with a higher risk for sleep apnea (60% at high risk vs. 40%, p = 0.003) than low-stress subjects. High stress was associated with significant disturbances in sleep duration and sleep quality. Stress levels also correlated with daytime consequences of disturbed sleep. The stress-sleep connection may be an important mechanistic mediator of the association between stress and CVD.",This study was supported by the Henry M.

,pub.1052830544,10.1016/j.ergon.2010.05.004,,,,Effects of gloves on the total grip strength applied to cylindrical handles,"The major objectives of this study were to establish an alternative method for measuring the effects of gloves on the grip strength applied to cylindrical handles and to quantify the strength reduction due to the use of typical anti-vibration (AV) gloves. Different from previous studies that measure the grip force in a specific plane, the alternative method measures the total contact force normal to a cylindrical handle; the total grip strength is defined as the total contact force measured when a subject applies a power grip to the handle with his/her maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) effort. Two instrumented cylindrical handles (30 and 40mm) were used in this study. Ten subjects participated in the experiment. Four types of AV gloves and two types of non-AV gloves were used in the experiment. Compared with bare-handed trials, each of the four anti-vibration gloves reduced the grip strength by more than 29%, regardless of handle size. One of the non-AV gloves also largely reduced the grip strength (≥25%) whereas the grip strength reduction of the other one was less than 10%. The gloves also influenced the grip force distribution pattern around the circumference of the cylindrical handles. The results suggest that the thickness of a glove is one of the major factors associated with these effects.Relevance to industryGlove use is generally recommended to keep the hands warm and dry and to protect them from many other hazards, provided this is consistent with safe and effective tool operation. However, a user of thicker, stiffer gloves, such as some AV gloves, could be trading one health risk for another. Knowledge of the effects of gloves on grip strength can help workers, managers, and safety professionals make informed decisions about glove selection and use in the workplace. This knowledge may also lead to work glove improvements.",,,International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics,,,Elsevier,"0169-8141, 1872-8219",,2010-09,2010,,2010-09,40,5,574-583,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Wimer, Bryan; McDowell, Thomas W.; Xu, Xueyan S.; Welcome, Daniel E.; Warren, Christopher; Dong, Ren G.","Wimer, Bryan (Engineering & Control Technology Branch, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 1095 Willowdale Road, Morgantown, MS L-2027, WV 26505, USA); McDowell, Thomas W.

It has been postulated that wood dust exposure may increase the risk of work-related asthma. The objective of this study was to assess, through a meta-analysis, the risk of developing work-related asthma associated with wood dust exposure. A systematic search of the literature was performed. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied and a quality scale used to measure the quality of the included studies was developed. Using standard meta-analysis techniques, studies were pooled using both random and fixed effects models. Nineteen studies were included which consisted of three cohort studies, twelve case-control studies and four mortality studies. The pooled relative risk (RR) of asthma among workers exposed to wood dust was 1.53 (95% CI 1.25-1.87). When the analysis was restricted to studies carried out on Caucasian populations, the pooled RR was 1.59 (95% CI 1.26-2.00) while the pooled RR of studies on Asian populations was 1.15 (95% CI 0.92-1.44).

METHODS: A total of 9,275 currently employed workers aged > or =16 years were included in the weighted analysis. Hazardous workplace noise exposure was defined as self-reported exposure to noise at their current job that was so loud that the respondent had to speak in a raised voice to be heard. Industry and occupation were determined based on the respondent's current place and type of work.
RESULTS: Twenty-two million US workers (17%) reported exposure to hazardous workplace noise. The weighted prevalence of workplace noise exposure was highest for mining (76%, SE = 7.0) followed by lumber/wood product manufacturing (55%, SE = 2.5). High-risk occupations included repair and maintenance, motor vehicle operators, and construction trades. Overall, 34% of the estimated 22 million US workers reporting hazardous workplace exposure reported non-use of HPDs. The proportion of noise-exposed workers who reported non-use of HPDs was highest for healthcare and social services (73.7%, SE = 8.1), followed by educational services (55.5%).

Seventy-one forestry workers were active over the entire follow up period, while 57 retired after 1–8 years from the initial investigation.ResultsThe initial prevalence and the cumulative incidence of VWF over the follow up period were 26.6 and 11.7%, respectively. In the retired workers, the new cases of VWF occurred before their retirement, that is when they were still active. There were no significant changes in FSBP%10° in the active forestry workers over the follow up period. A significant increased in FSBP%10° (i.e. improvement) was observed in the retired workers at the end of the follow up. FSBP%10° at the cross-sectional investigation was significantly lower in the forestry workers who developed VWF during the follow up than in those who never experienced finger blanching over the study period.ConclusionThe findings of this follow up study suggest that forestry workers with work experience limited to AV chain saws are still at risk of developing VWF. Cessation of vibration exposure in the retired workers was associated with a beneficial effect on the cold response of digital arteries. Cold-induced digital arterial hyperresponsiveness at the initial investigation was a predictive factor for the onset of VWF over time.",,,International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health,,,Springer Nature,"0340-0131, 1432-1246",Adult; Cold Temperature; Cross-Sectional Studies; Fingers; Forestry; Humans; Incidence; Male; Microcirculation; Middle Aged; Occupational Diseases; Occupational Exposure; Peripheral Vascular Diseases; Prevalence; Time Factors; Vibration,2007-07-21,2007,2007-07-21,2008-02,81,4,401-408,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Bovenzi, Massimo","Bovenzi, Massimo (Clinical Unit of Occupational Medicine, Department of Public Health Sciences, University of Trieste, Centro Tumori, Via della Pietà 19, 34129, Trieste, Italy)","Bovenzi, Massimo (University of Trieste)","Bovenzi, Massimo (University of Trieste)",University of Trieste,grid.5133.4,Trieste,,Italy,,,,,,37,6,0.74,6.2,3,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1018337908,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 3202 Clinical Sciences,,Cardiovascular,,,,B12 Engineering,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Musculoskeletal component has not been delineated yet. In the present follow-up study, we evaluated the prevalence of HAVS and the cumulative exposure to vibration among a cohort of forestry workers. Special interest was given to numbness and musculoskeletal disorders of upper extremity and neck in forestry workers. Methods: A follow-up study starting from 1976 was conducted among forestry workers in Suomussalmi in Finland. Total exposure of hand-arm vibration was recorded during 11 cross-sectional surveys. The last study was carried out in 1995. The lifetime dose of vibration energy was calculated. A cohort of 52 forest workers participated to all 11 cross-sectional surveys 1976–1995. HAVS and musculoskeletal disorders were evaluated. Results: The prevalence of active vibration white finger (VWF) decreased from 13 to 4% in the cross-sectional study. In the cohort VWF decreased from 17 to 8% and numbness increased from 23 to 40%. Rotator cuff syndrome (P=0.034) and epicondylitis (P=0.004) associated with numbness. Regional neck pain was diagnosed in 38% of workers and associated with low back pain. In modeling VWF, the lifelong vibration energy (OR 1.03, CI 1.01–1.05), and smoking (OR 7.36, CI 1.07–50.76) were significant. Numbness was modeled by pain in upper extremities (OR 12.43, CI 2.42–63.80) and neck pain (5.97, CI 1.25–28.39), not by lifelong vibration energy. Right rotator cuff syndrome was modeled by age (OR 2.58, CI 1.04–6.41) and lifelong vibration energy (OR 1.04, CI 1.00–1.07). Conclusions: The prevalence of VWF constantly decreased. Numbness did not follow the vibration exposure profile. Numbness also associated with upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders. Hand-arm vibration associated with the right rotator cuff syndrome in forestry workers.","The authors wish to acknowledge the provision of financial assistance by the Finnish National Board of Forestry and by North Karelian Hospital and by Forestry Workers Fund in Finland.

The European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) is a multinational survey designed to compare the prevalence of asthma in subjects aged 20 to 44 years throughout European countries. In each center a representative sample completed a self-administered screening questionnaire composed of nine dichotomous items. We propose a method for constructing a score for the ECRHS screening questionnaire and we validate the method with reference to the clinical diagnosis available for the Italian centers. Clinical diagnosis was made by a group of medical experts after examining the responses to a standardized clinical interview, respiratory function tests, and allergy tests. Before constructing a summary score, the number of latent factors/dimensions explaining correlations among the observed items was recognized. We identified only one factor/dimension underlying the screening questionnaire, so a summary score was determined by the Homogeneity Analysis by Alternating Least Square (HOMALS). Using best Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) threshold the diagnostic test of the score had sensitivity and specificity of 75.1 and 80.1%, respectively. The method of scoring is easily reproducible, and has the advantage of optimizing information recoded by the questionnaire.","AcknowledgementsWe wish to thank the reviewers for their kind suggestions and the Italian group of ECHRS for making the research data available.

DESIGN: Self reported health, minor psychiatric morbidity, physiological measures, and health related behaviours were determined in 931 women and 2429 men who responded to a question on job insecurity in 1995/96 and again in 1997/99. Self reported health status, clinical screening measures, and health related behaviours for participants whose job security had changed or who remained insecure were compared with those whose jobs had remained secure.
SETTING: Prospective cohort study, Whitehall II, all participants were white collar office workers in the British Civil Service on entry to the study.
MAIN RESULTS: Self reported morbidity was higher among participants who lost job security. Among those who gained job security residual negative effects, particularly in the psychological sphere were observed. Those exposed to chronic job insecurity had the highest self reported morbidity. Changes in the physiological measures were limited to an increase in blood pressure among women who lost job security and a decrease in body mass index among women reporting chronic job insecurity. There were no significant differences between any of the groups for alcohol over the recommended limits or smoking.
CONCLUSION: Loss of job security has adverse effects on self reported health and minor psychiatric morbidity, which are not completely reversed by removal of the threat and which tend to increase with chronic exposure to the stressor.","We thank all participating civil service departments and their welfare, personnel, and establishment officers; the Occupational Health and Safety Agency; the Council of Civil Service Unions; all participating civil servants in the Whitehall II study; and all members of the Whitehall II study team.

Allergic dermatoses, caused by wood dusts, diagnosed at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health during 1976-1999 are reported here. 16 had allergic contact dermatitis and, 2 had contact urticaria. 9 men (3 cabinet makers, 3 joiners, 1 carpenter, 1 knifemaker and 1 machinist) were mainly exposed to tropical hardwoods. 1 man had dermatitis caused by western red cedar. 5 patients, 3 men and 2 women, were exposed to Finnish pine or spruce dusts, and 1 man to aspen. 7 also had rhinitis, 4 asthma or dyspnoea and 3 conjunctivitis. On patch testing, 10 men reacted to 9 different wood dusts, including teak (5), palisander (3), jacaranda (2), mahogany (2), walnut (2) and obeche (1). Reactions to wood allergens, including lapachol (2), deoxylapachol (1), (R)-3,4-dimethoxydahlbergione (2), 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (1), mansonone A (2) and salicyl alcohol (1), were noted in 4 cases.

METHODS: The chain saw operators and 195 control workers never exposed to hand transmitted vibration were interviewed with health and workplace assessment questionnaires. The diagnosis of vibration induced white finger (VWF) was made on the basis of subjective symptoms of finger blanching and the results of a cold test with plethysmographic measurement of systolic blood pressure of the finger. Vibration was measured on a representative sample of AV and non-AV chain saws. Daily vibration exposure was assessed as eight hour energy equivalent frequency weighted acceleration (A(8)). A lifetime vibration dose was estimated for each of the forestry workers.
RESULTS: The overall prevalence of VWF among the forestry workers was 23.4%. The diagnosis of VWF was made in 13.4% of the forestry workers who handled only AV chain saws and in 51.7% of those who had also operated non-AV chain saws in the past. Raynaud's phenomenon was found in 2.6% of the controls. In the forestry workers, the risk for VWF showed positive increments with each increment of vibration dose, suggesting a monotonic dose-response relation. The responsiveness to cold in the digital arteries of the forestry workers was also found to increase with increasing vibration dose and severity of VWF. The estimated relation between VWF and vibration exposure showed that the expected prevalence of VWF increased almost linearly to either A(8) (with exposure duration unchanged) or the number of years of exposure (with equivalent acceleration unchanged).
CONCLUSIONS: In this study of VWF among forestry workers, the estimated dose-response relation showed that if the magnitude of vibration acceleration is doubled, the total duration of exposure should be halved to produce an equivalent effect. On the basis of the assessment of vibration exposure, the estimated risk for VWF in the study population was found to be lower than that predicted by the international standard ISO 5349. These findings suggest a revision of the risk estimates for VWF currently provided by ISO 5349.",,,Occupational and Environmental Medicine,,,BMJ,"1351-0711, 1470-7926","Case-Control Studies; Cold Temperature; Constriction, Pathologic; Fingers; Forestry; Humans; Ischemia; Middle Aged; Occupational Diseases; Occupational Exposure; Vibration",1995-11-01,1995,1995-11-01,1995-11,52,11,722,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Bovenzi, M; Franzinelli, A; Mancini, R; Cannavà, M G; Maiorano, M; Ceccarelli, F","Bovenzi, M (Institute of Occupational Health, University of Trieste, Italy.); Franzinelli, A (Institute of Occupational Health, University of Trieste, Italy.); Mancini, R (Institute of Occupational Health, University of Trieste, Italy.); Cannavà, M G (Institute of Occupational Health, University of Trieste, Italy.); Maiorano, M (Institute of Occupational Health, University of Trieste, Italy.); Ceccarelli, F (Institute of Occupational Health, University of Trieste, Italy.)",,"Bovenzi, M (University of Trieste); Franzinelli, A (University of Trieste); Mancini, R (University of Trieste); Cannavà, M G (University of Trieste); Maiorano, M (University of Trieste); Ceccarelli, F (University of Trieste)",University of Trieste,grid.5133.4,Trieste,,Italy,,,,,,55,4,2.5,,9,https://oem.bmj.com/content/oemed/52/11/722.full.pdf,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1043884110,"35 Commerce, Management, Tourism and Services; 3505 Human Resources and Industrial Relations; 42 Health Sciences; 4202 Epidemiology; 4206 Public Health",,,,,,B12 Engineering,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

DATA SOURCES: During April 2007, we searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, SportDiscus, CINAHL, and Cochrane Reviews databases as well as ProQuest for theses and dissertations to identify research studies evaluating whole-body cooling treatments without limits. Key words were cooling, cryotherapy, water immersion, cold-water immersion, ice-water immersion, icing, fanning, bath, baths, cooling modality, heat illness, heat illnesses, exertional heatstroke, exertional heat stroke, heat exhaustion, hyperthermia, hyperthermic, hyperpyrexia, exercise, exertion, running, football, military, runners, marathoner, physical activity, marathoning, soccer, and tennis.
DATA SYNTHESIS: Two independent reviewers graded each study on the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. Seven of 89 research articles met all inclusion criteria and a minimum score of 4 out of 10 on the PEDro scale.
CONCLUSIONS: After an extensive and critical review of the available research on whole-body cooling for the treatment of exertional hyperthermia, we concluded that ice-water immersion provides the most efficient cooling. Further research comparing whole-body cooling modalities is needed to identify other acceptable means. When ice-water immersion is not possible, continual dousing with water combined with fanning the patient is an alternative method until more advanced cooling means can be used. Until future investigators identify other acceptable whole-body cooling modalities for exercise-induced hyperthermia, ice-water immersion and cold-water immersion are the methods proven to have the fastest cooling rates.",,,Journal of Athletic Training,,,Journal of Athletic Training/NATA,"1062-6050, 1938-162X",Acute Disease; Body Temperature Regulation; Cryotherapy; Evidence-Based Practice; Exercise; Fever; Humans; Physical Exertion,2009-01-01,2009,,2009-01-01,44,1,84-93,All OA; Bronze,Article,Review Article,"McDermott, Brendon P.; Casa, Douglas J.; Ganio, Matthew S.; Lopez, Rebecca M.; Yeargin, Susan W.; Armstrong, Lawrence E.; Maresh, Carl M.","McDermott, Brendon P.

Search terms included heatstroke, sunstroke, and heat stress disorders.ResultsFourteen articles reported populations subjected to cooling treatment for classic or exertional heatstroke and included data on cooling time, neurologic morbidity, or mortality. Five additional articles described invasive monitoring with central venous or pulmonary artery catheters. The four clinical trials and 15 observational studies covered a total of 556 patients. A careful analysis of the results obtained indicated that the cooling method based on conduction, namely immersion in iced water, was effective among young people, military personnel, and athletes with exertional heatstroke. There was no evidence to support the superiority of any one cooling technique in classic heatstroke. The effects of non-invasive, evaporative, or conductive-based cooling techniques, singly or combined, appeared to be comparable. No evidence of a specific endpoint temperature for safe cessation of cooling was found. The circulatory alterations in heatstroke were due mostly to a form of distributive shock associated with relative or absolute hypovolemia. Myocardial failure was found to be rare.ConclusionA systematic review of the literature failed to identify reliable clinical data on the optimum treatment of heatstroke. Nonetheless, the findings of this study could serve as a framework for preliminary recommendations in cooling and hemodynamic management of heatstroke until more evidence-based data are generated.","This work was supported in part by the World Health Organization (WHO), Regional Office for Europe, and the EuroHEAT project cofinanced by DG Sanco (Directorate General for Health and Consumer Affairs).

,pub.1032397976,10.1249/mss.0b013e31802fa199,17473783,,,Exertional Heat Illness during Training and Competition,"Exertional heat illness can affect athletes during high-intensity or long-duration exercise and result in withdrawal from activity or collapse during or soon after activity. These maladies include exercise associated muscle cramping, heat exhaustion, or exertional heatstroke. While certain individuals are more prone to collapse from exhaustion in the heat (i.e., not acclimatized, using certain medications, dehydrated, or recently ill), exertional heatstroke (EHS) can affect seemingly healthy athletes even when the environment is relatively cool. EHS is defined as a rectal temperature greater than 40 degrees C accompanied by symptoms or signs of organ system failure, most frequently central nervous system dysfunction. Early recognition and rapid cooling can reduce both the morbidity and mortality associated with EHS. The clinical changes associated with EHS can be subtle and easy to miss if coaches, medical personnel, and athletes do not maintain a high level of awareness and monitor at-risk athletes closely. Fatigue and exhaustion during exercise occur more rapidly as heat stress increases and are the most common causes of withdrawal from activity in hot conditions. When athletes collapse from exhaustion in hot conditions, the term heat exhaustion is often applied. In some cases, rectal temperature is the only discernable difference between severe heat exhaustion and EHS in on-site evaluations. Heat exhaustion will generally resolve with symptomatic care and oral fluid support. Exercise associated muscle cramping can occur with exhaustive work in any temperature range, but appears to be more prevalent in hot and humid conditions. Muscle cramping usually responds to rest and replacement of fluid and salt (sodium). Prevention strategies are essential to reducing the incidence of EHS, heat exhaustion, and exercise associated muscle cramping.",,,Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0195-9131, 1530-0315","Competitive Behavior; Heat Exhaustion; Heat Stress Disorders; Humans; Motor Activity; Physical Endurance; Physical Exertion; Risk Factors; Societies, Medical; Sports; Sports Medicine; United States",2007-03,2007,,2007-03,39,3,556-572,All OA; Bronze,Article,Review Article,"Armstrong, Lawrence E; Casa, Douglas J; Millard-Stafford, Mindy; Moran, Daniel S; Pyne, Scott W; Roberts, William O","Armstrong, Lawrence E (); Casa, Douglas J (); Millard-Stafford, Mindy (); Moran, Daniel S (); Pyne, Scott W (); Roberts, William O ()",,"Armstrong, Lawrence E (); Casa, Douglas J (); Millard-Stafford, Mindy (); Moran, Daniel S (); Pyne, Scott W (); Roberts, William O ()",,,,,,,,,,,866,122,20.03,145.04,116,https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Fulltext/2007/03000/Exertional_Heat_Illness_during_Training_and.20.aspx,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1032397976,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 3202 Clinical Sciences; 42 Health Sciences,Clinical Research; Physical Activity,,,,,"C24 Sport and Exercise Sciences, Leisure and Tourism",,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The thermoneutral test (TN, 14 degree C, 45% rh) was performed before traveling to the tropical area (Martinique, FWI). The tropical tests were performed 2, 8, and 14 days after arrival (32.9 degree C, 78% rh). During each trial, we measured tympanic temperature, sweat rate, body mass loss, heart rate (HR), and performance. The results showed that 1). the mean tympanic temperature was greater in T2 (P <.001), T8 (P <.01) and T14 (P <.01) than in TN and significantly lower in T14 than in T2 (P <.05); 2). the mean sweat rate was significantly greater (P <.001) in T2, T8 and T14 than in TN and significantly greater (P <.05) in T8 and T14 than in T2; 3). the body mass loss after trials was significantly greater (P <.001) in T2, T8 and T14 than in TN and significantly greater (P <.05) in T8 and T14 than in T2; 4). the mean HR and HR at rest were significantly higher (P <.005) in T2 than in TN, T8, T14 and the mean HR was significantly lower (P <.05) in T14 than in the other trials; and 5). the performance time was significantly lower in T2 (P < 0.02), T8 (P < 0.03) and T14 (P < 0.05) than in TN. We concluded that 14 days of exposure to tropical climate led to changes in physiological parameters but were still insufficient to ensure complete acclimatization in well-trained athletes.

The committee also recommends that the diagnosis of heat-related death be based on a history of exposure to high ambient temperature and the reasonable exclusion of other causes of hyperthermia. The diagnosis may be established from the circumstances surrounding the death, investigative reports concerning environmental temperature, and/or measured antemortem body temperature at the time of collapse. In cases where the measured antemortem body temperature at the time of collapse was > or = 105 degrees F (> or = 40.6 degrees C), the cause of death should be certified as heat stroke or hyperthermia. Deaths may also be certified as heat stroke or hyperthermia with lower body temperatures when cooling has been attempted prior to arrival at the hospital and/or when there is a clinical history of mental status changes and elevated liver and muscle enzymes.

The participant (24 years old, 173 cm, 70 kg, and 3 years firefighting experience) experienced heat exhaustion following 7 hours of high ambient temperatures and arduous work on the fire line during the month of August. At the time of the heat-related incident (HRI), core temperature was 40.1 °C (104.2 °F) and skin temperature was 34.4 °C (93.9 °F). His work output averaged 1067 counts·min(-1) (arbitrary units for measuring activity) for the 7 hours prior to the HRI, a very high rate of work over an extended time period during wildfire suppression. In the 2.5 hours leading up to the heat incident, he was exposed to a mean ambient temperature of 44.6 °C (112.3 °F), with a maximum temperature of 59.7 °C (139.5 °F). He consumed an average of 840 mL·h(-1) in the 7 hours leading up to the incident and took an average of 24 ± 11 drinks·h(-1) (total of 170 drinks). The combined effects of a high work rate and high ambient temperatures resulted in an elevated core temperature and a higher volume and frequency of drinking than typically seen in this population, ultimately ending in heat exhaustion and removal from the fire line. The data demonstrate that heat-related incidents can occur even with aggressive fluid intake during wildland fire suppression.","Research funded by the United States Forest Service (USFS) and Mineral Resources (manufacturers of Elete).

DATA SOURCES: During April 2007, we searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, SportDiscus, CINAHL, and Cochrane Reviews databases as well as ProQuest for theses and dissertations to identify research studies evaluating whole-body cooling treatments without limits. Key words were cooling, cryotherapy, water immersion, cold-water immersion, ice-water immersion, icing, fanning, bath, baths, cooling modality, heat illness, heat illnesses, exertional heatstroke, exertional heat stroke, heat exhaustion, hyperthermia, hyperthermic, hyperpyrexia, exercise, exertion, running, football, military, runners, marathoner, physical activity, marathoning, soccer, and tennis.
DATA SYNTHESIS: Two independent reviewers graded each study on the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. Seven of 89 research articles met all inclusion criteria and a minimum score of 4 out of 10 on the PEDro scale.
CONCLUSIONS: After an extensive and critical review of the available research on whole-body cooling for the treatment of exertional hyperthermia, we concluded that ice-water immersion provides the most efficient cooling. Further research comparing whole-body cooling modalities is needed to identify other acceptable means. When ice-water immersion is not possible, continual dousing with water combined with fanning the patient is an alternative method until more advanced cooling means can be used. Until future investigators identify other acceptable whole-body cooling modalities for exercise-induced hyperthermia, ice-water immersion and cold-water immersion are the methods proven to have the fastest cooling rates.",,,Journal of Athletic Training,,,Journal of Athletic Training/NATA,"1062-6050, 1938-162X",Acute Disease; Body Temperature Regulation; Cryotherapy; Evidence-Based Practice; Exercise; Fever; Humans; Physical Exertion,2009-01-01,2009,,2009-01-01,44,1,84-93,All OA; Bronze,Article,Review Article,"McDermott, Brendon P.; Casa, Douglas J.; Ganio, Matthew S.; Lopez, Rebecca M.; Yeargin, Susan W.; Armstrong, Lawrence E.; Maresh, Carl M.","McDermott, Brendon P.

Search terms included heatstroke, sunstroke, and heat stress disorders.ResultsFourteen articles reported populations subjected to cooling treatment for classic or exertional heatstroke and included data on cooling time, neurologic morbidity, or mortality. Five additional articles described invasive monitoring with central venous or pulmonary artery catheters. The four clinical trials and 15 observational studies covered a total of 556 patients. A careful analysis of the results obtained indicated that the cooling method based on conduction, namely immersion in iced water, was effective among young people, military personnel, and athletes with exertional heatstroke. There was no evidence to support the superiority of any one cooling technique in classic heatstroke. The effects of non-invasive, evaporative, or conductive-based cooling techniques, singly or combined, appeared to be comparable. No evidence of a specific endpoint temperature for safe cessation of cooling was found. The circulatory alterations in heatstroke were due mostly to a form of distributive shock associated with relative or absolute hypovolemia. Myocardial failure was found to be rare.ConclusionA systematic review of the literature failed to identify reliable clinical data on the optimum treatment of heatstroke. Nonetheless, the findings of this study could serve as a framework for preliminary recommendations in cooling and hemodynamic management of heatstroke until more evidence-based data are generated.","This work was supported in part by the World Health Organization (WHO), Regional Office for Europe, and the EuroHEAT project cofinanced by DG Sanco (Directorate General for Health and Consumer Affairs).

,pub.1032397976,10.1249/mss.0b013e31802fa199,17473783,,,Exertional Heat Illness during Training and Competition,"Exertional heat illness can affect athletes during high-intensity or long-duration exercise and result in withdrawal from activity or collapse during or soon after activity. These maladies include exercise associated muscle cramping, heat exhaustion, or exertional heatstroke. While certain individuals are more prone to collapse from exhaustion in the heat (i.e., not acclimatized, using certain medications, dehydrated, or recently ill), exertional heatstroke (EHS) can affect seemingly healthy athletes even when the environment is relatively cool. EHS is defined as a rectal temperature greater than 40 degrees C accompanied by symptoms or signs of organ system failure, most frequently central nervous system dysfunction. Early recognition and rapid cooling can reduce both the morbidity and mortality associated with EHS. The clinical changes associated with EHS can be subtle and easy to miss if coaches, medical personnel, and athletes do not maintain a high level of awareness and monitor at-risk athletes closely. Fatigue and exhaustion during exercise occur more rapidly as heat stress increases and are the most common causes of withdrawal from activity in hot conditions. When athletes collapse from exhaustion in hot conditions, the term heat exhaustion is often applied. In some cases, rectal temperature is the only discernable difference between severe heat exhaustion and EHS in on-site evaluations. Heat exhaustion will generally resolve with symptomatic care and oral fluid support. Exercise associated muscle cramping can occur with exhaustive work in any temperature range, but appears to be more prevalent in hot and humid conditions. Muscle cramping usually responds to rest and replacement of fluid and salt (sodium). Prevention strategies are essential to reducing the incidence of EHS, heat exhaustion, and exercise associated muscle cramping.",,,Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0195-9131, 1530-0315","Competitive Behavior; Heat Exhaustion; Heat Stress Disorders; Humans; Motor Activity; Physical Endurance; Physical Exertion; Risk Factors; Societies, Medical; Sports; Sports Medicine; United States",2007-03,2007,,2007-03,39,3,556-572,All OA; Bronze,Article,Review Article,"Armstrong, Lawrence E; Casa, Douglas J; Millard-Stafford, Mindy; Moran, Daniel S; Pyne, Scott W; Roberts, William O","Armstrong, Lawrence E (); Casa, Douglas J (); Millard-Stafford, Mindy (); Moran, Daniel S (); Pyne, Scott W (); Roberts, William O ()",,"Armstrong, Lawrence E (); Casa, Douglas J (); Millard-Stafford, Mindy (); Moran, Daniel S (); Pyne, Scott W (); Roberts, William O ()",,,,,,,,,,,866,122,20.03,145.04,116,https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Fulltext/2007/03000/Exertional_Heat_Illness_during_Training_and.20.aspx,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1032397976,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 3202 Clinical Sciences; 42 Health Sciences,Clinical Research; Physical Activity,,,,,"C24 Sport and Exercise Sciences, Leisure and Tourism",,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

METHODS: This study documents heat illness hospitalizations and deaths for the U.S. Army from 1980 through 2002. Hospitalization data were obtained from the Total Army Injury Health Outcomes Database (TAIHOD) coded according to the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM). North Atlantic Treaty Organization Standardization Agreement codes were searched for heat injuries in an effort to detect cases that were not found during the ICD-9-CM search.
RESULTS: Five-thousand two-hundred forty-six soldiers were hospitalized, and 37 died due to heat illness. Our results indicate: 1) approximately 60% reduction in hospitalization rates (fewer heat exhaustion cases) over the 22-yr period; 2) fivefold increase in heat stroke hospitalization rates (1.8 per 100,000 in 1980 to 14.5 per 100,000 in 2001); 3) heat stroke cases were associated with dehydration (17%), rhabdomyolysis (25%), and acute renal failure (13%); 4) lower hospitalizations rates among African and Hispanic Americans compared with Caucasians (incidence density ratio, 0.76 [95% confidence interval, 0.71-0.82]; 5) greater rates of hospitalizations and heat strokes among recruits from northern than southern states (incidence density ratio, 1.69 [95% confidence interval, 1.42-1.90]; and 6) greater rates of hospitalizations and heat strokes among women than men (incidence density ratio, 1.18 [95% confidence interval, 1.09-1.27]).
CONCLUSIONS: Exertional heat illness continues to be a military problem during training and operations. Whereas the hospitalization rate of heat illness is declining, heat stroke has markedly increased.",,,Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0195-9131, 1530-0315",Adolescent; Adult; Ethnicity; Female; Heat Stress Disorders; Hospitalization; Humans; Male; Military Personnel; Racial Groups; Risk Factors; United States,2005-08,2005,,2005-08,37,8,1338-1334,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"CARTER, ROBERT; CHEUVRONT, SAMUEL N.; WILLIAMS, JEFFREY O.; KOLKA, MARGARET A.; STEPHENSON, LOU A.; SAWKA, MICHAEL N.; AMOROSO, PAUL J.","CARTER, ROBERT (United States Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, Natick, MA; and Social Sectors Development Strategies, Inc., Natick, MA); CHEUVRONT, SAMUEL N.

The thermoneutral test (TN, 14 degree C, 45% rh) was performed before traveling to the tropical area (Martinique, FWI). The tropical tests were performed 2, 8, and 14 days after arrival (32.9 degree C, 78% rh). During each trial, we measured tympanic temperature, sweat rate, body mass loss, heart rate (HR), and performance. The results showed that 1). the mean tympanic temperature was greater in T2 (P <.001), T8 (P <.01) and T14 (P <.01) than in TN and significantly lower in T14 than in T2 (P <.05); 2). the mean sweat rate was significantly greater (P <.001) in T2, T8 and T14 than in TN and significantly greater (P <.05) in T8 and T14 than in T2; 3). the body mass loss after trials was significantly greater (P <.001) in T2, T8 and T14 than in TN and significantly greater (P <.05) in T8 and T14 than in T2; 4). the mean HR and HR at rest were significantly higher (P <.005) in T2 than in TN, T8, T14 and the mean HR was significantly lower (P <.05) in T14 than in the other trials; and 5). the performance time was significantly lower in T2 (P < 0.02), T8 (P < 0.03) and T14 (P < 0.05) than in TN.

METHODS: Seventeen wildland firefighters (from three Interagency Hot Shot crews, N = 8 men, height = 177 +/- 7 cm, weight = 74.6 +/- 6.4 kg, age = 24.5 +/- 1.8 yr; N = 9 women, height = 170 +/- 7 cm, weight = 65.2 +/- 8.0 kg, age = 25.0 +/- 1.3 yr) served as subjects. Before wildland fire suppression, each subject was given an oral dose of 2H2O and H218O (approximately 0.23 g 2H2O.kg estimated TBW-1 and 0.39 g H218O.kg estimated TBW-1). Urine samples were collected between 0400 and 0600 daily. TEE was calculated using the two-point method for days 1-3 and 1-5, with the TEE for days 4-5 calculated by extrapolation. Urine samples from other crew members not participating in the DLW protocol were collected at the same times and used to adjust calculations of isotopic elimination for background shifts.
RESULTS: TEE was 17.4 +/- 3.7 and 17.5 +/- 6.9 MJ.d-1 during days 1-3 and 4-5, respectively. The energy expenditure associated with physical activity (EEA) was 8.8 +/- 3.0 and 8.9 +/- 6.1 MJ.d-1 for days 1-3 and 4-5, respectively.
CONCLUSION: The current data demonstrate consistently high daily energy expenditure in the wildland firefighter. These data also demonstrate that the doubly labeled water methodology is an appropriate methodology for the measure of TEE during unpredictable field operations if adjustments are made for changes in background enrichment and elevated water turnover.",,,Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0195-9131, 1530-0315","Adult; Calorimetry, Indirect; Energy Intake; Energy Metabolism; Female; Fires; Humans; Male; Physical Exertion; Sex Factors; Work",2002-06,2002,,2002-06,34,6,1048-1054,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"RUBY, BRENT C.; SHRIVER, TIM C.; ZDERIC, THEODORE W.; SHARKEY, BRIAN J.; BURKS, CATHERINE; TYSK, SONJA","RUBY, BRENT C.

EHS is thought to coincide with previously healthy, highly motivated, and relatively untrained individuals exerting in hot environments for long periods.
PURPOSE: To establish this notion, the present study was aimed to follow the trends in the incidence of EHS in the period 1988-1996.
METHODS: During these years, 150 cases of male soldiers (age = 20+/-3 yr) were reported to our institute as suffering from heat illnesses. According to the files, 82 cases were definitely diagnosed as EHS.
RESULTS: More than 50% of the cases occurred during the first 6 months in service. Most of the cases occurred during the summer season (June-September), but 30% of the cases occurred during the spring. EHS was not related to time in the day. Many cases occurred during the night or early morning, even under mild heat load. Forty percent of the cases occurred during very short activities, and about 60% occurred already during the first 2 h of exercise. The results were discussed in view of the regulations which prevail in the Israeli army.
CONCLUSIONS: It seems that almost all EHS cases occurred when regulations were not strictly followed.",,,Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0195-9131, 1530-0315",Heat Stroke; Humans; Incidence; Israel; Male; Military Personnel; Physical Education and Training; Physical Exertion; Seasons,1999-02,1999,,1999-02,31,2,224-228,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"EPSTEIN, YORAM; MORAN, DANIEL S.; SHAPIRO, YAIR; SOHAR, EZRA; SHEMER, JOSHUA","EPSTEIN, YORAM (IDF Institute of Military Physiology and the Heller Institute of Medical Research, Sheba Medical Center, Tel-Hashomer, Sackler School of Medicine Tel Aviv University, ISRAEL); MORAN, DANIEL S.

Activity Distribution, Energy Expenditure, and Productivity of Men Suppressing Free-Running Wildland Fires With Hand Tools","Timed-activity studies were made of four crews while they attempted to suppress well-developed experimental bushfires of intensities commonly faced by handtool crews, and also while they built fireline in the same way without fire, during three summers in Australian eucalypt forests. Fireline construction with rakehoes (including step up) occupied, on average, 63% of the crew's time. Firefighters raked for 38 seconds followed by 10 seconds of step up, thus obtaining frequent brief rests for the arm muscles involved in raking. Energy expenditure (EE) of all fire-suppression activities averaged 516 W, equivalent to a relative work load (RWL) of 45% of the men's maximum work capacity. Pulmonary ventilation averaged 55 (range 38-83) 1 min-1 during raking and 40 (range 23-73) 1 min-1 during all activities. Each firefighter built 1.90 m2 of fireline per minute of raking, and 1.21 m2 min-1 over the whole period of the attack. Each hour the six men engaged in fireline construction built and held 436 m2, i.e. 512 metres of fireline 0.85 metres wide. Individuals consistently differed twofold in their self-chosen levels of raking EE and RWL and threefold in productivity and efficiency (productivity per unit EE), whereas average raking EE did not differ between crews, nor between attacks with and without fire.

The committee also recommends that the diagnosis of heat-related death be based on a history of exposure to high ambient temperature and the reasonable exclusion of other causes of hyperthermia. The diagnosis may be established from the circumstances surrounding the death, investigative reports concerning environmental temperature, and/or measured antemortem body temperature at the time of collapse. In cases where the measured antemortem body temperature at the time of collapse was > or = 105 degrees F (> or = 40.6 degrees C), the cause of death should be certified as heat stroke or hyperthermia. Deaths may also be certified as heat stroke or hyperthermia with lower body temperatures when cooling has been attempted prior to arrival at the hospital and/or when there is a clinical history of mental status changes and elevated liver and muscle enzymes.

However, the effects of such adaptations on energy metabolism have not been widely studied. To determine daily energy requirement at extreme altitude, energy expenditure (EE) was measured by doubly labeled water (DLW) and energy intake-balance (IB) methods in five men and one woman while climbing between 5,900 and 8,046 m over a 7-day period. Energy intakes were determined by dietary record (13.8 +/- 2.0 MJ/day). Change in body energy stores, estimated from differences in body weight, skinfold thickness, limb circumference, and isotope-dilution techniques, was -5.1 +/- 1.6 MJ/day. DLW (19.4 +/- 1.2 MJ/day) and IB (18.9 +/- 2.7 MJ/day) measurements of EE provided similar estimates of group mean EE. These results suggest that IB and DLW techniques can yield comparable estimates of group mean EE at extreme altitude.

This manuscript reviews previous findings regarding recovery from EH and presents original research involving the heat acclimation ability of 10 prior EH patients (PH) and 5 control subjects. Heat acclimation, by definition, distinguishes heat-intolerant from heat-tolerant prior heatstroke patients. Nine PH exhibited normal heat acclimation adaptations (40.1 degrees C, 7 d, 90 min.d-1), thermoregulation, sweat gland function, whole-body sodium and potassium balance, and blood values at 61 +/- 7 d after EH. One PH (subject A) did not adapt to exercise in the heat, was defined heat intolerant, but subsequently was declared heat tolerant (11.5 months post-EH). Three PH exhibited large, unexpected increases in serum CPK levels, which resolved upon subsequent testing, and were probably related to their detrained state and the exercise which they performed. It was concluded that: 1) sleep loss and generalized fatigue were the most common predisposing factors for PH; 2) recovery from EH was idiosyncratic and may require up to 1 year in severe cases; 3) PH were not hereditarily heat intolerant, prior to EH; 4) no measured variable predicted recovery from EH, or heat acclimation responses; 5) heat intolerance occurs in a small percentage of prior heatstroke patients, and may be transient or persistent.",,,Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0195-9131, 1530-0315","Acclimatization; Adaptation, Physiological; Adult; Clinical Trials as Topic; Heat Exhaustion; Hot Temperature; Humans; Male; Time Factors",1990-02,1990,,1990-02,22,1,36,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Armstrong, L E; De Luca, J P; Hubbard, R W","Armstrong, L E (Heat Research Division, U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, Natick, MA 01760-5007.); De Luca, J P (); Hubbard, R W ()",,"Armstrong, L E (US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine); De Luca, J P (); Hubbard, R W ()",US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine,grid.420094.b,Natick,Massachusetts,United States,,,,,,175,4,5.62,,18,https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Abstract/1990/02000/Time_course_of_recovery_and_heat_acclimation.7.aspx,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1013911300,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 3202 Clinical Sciences,Clinical Research,,,,,"C24 Sport and Exercise Sciences, Leisure and Tourism",,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Each subject received an oral isotope dose sufficient to raise isotope levels by 200-250 (18O) and 100-120 ppm (2H). The experimental period was 7 days. Concurrently, a factorial estimate of the energy expenditure of the platoon was conducted. Also, a food intake-energy balance study was conducted for the platoon. Mean daily energy expenditure by the doubly labeled water method was 4,750 kcal (range 4,152-5,394 kcal). The factorial estimate of mean daily energy expenditure was 4,535 kcal. Because of inherent inaccuracies in the food intake-energy balance technique, we were able to conclude only that energy expenditure, as measured by this method, was greater than the estimated mean daily intake of 4,040 kcal.

A SHE (Occupational) is a disease, disability, or untimely death which is occupationally related and whose occurrence may: 1) provide the impetus for epidemiologic or industrial hygiene studies; or 2) serve as a warning signal that materials substitution, engineering control, personal protection, or medical care may be required. The present SHE(O) list encompasses 50 disease conditions that are linked to the workplace. Only those conditions are included for which objective documentation of an associated agent, industry, and occupation exists in the scientific literature.

,pub.1006148640,10.1071/wf05089,,,,"A critical assessment of the Burning Index in Los Angeles County, California","The Burning Index (BI) is commonly used as a predictor of wildfire activity. An examination of data on the BI and wildfires in Los Angeles County, California, from January 1976 to December 2000 reveals that although the BI is positively associated with wildfire occurrence, its predictive value is quite limited. Wind speed alone has a higher correlation with burn area than BI, for instance, and a simple alternative point process model using wind speed, relative humidity, precipitation and temperature well outperforms the BI in terms of predictive power. The BI is generally far too high in winter and too low in fall, and may exaggerate the impact of individual variables such as wind speed or temperature during times when other variables, such as precipitation or relative humidity, render the environment ill suited for wildfires.","Our sincerest gratitude to Larry Bradshaw at the USDA Forest Service for so generously providing us with the weather station data and helping us process it and generate the corresponding BI values.

,pub.1003123564,10.1249/mss.0b013e31821ece12,21681120,,,2011 Compendium of Physical Activities,"PURPOSE: The Compendium of Physical Activities was developed to enhance the comparability of results across studies using self-report physical activity (PA) and is used to quantify the energy cost of a wide variety of PA. We provide the second update of the Compendium, called the 2011 Compendium.
METHODS: The 2011 Compendium retains the previous coding scheme to identify the major category headings and specific PA by their rate of energy expenditure in MET. Modifications in the 2011 Compendium include cataloging measured MET values and their source references, when available; addition of new codes and specific activities; an update of the Compendium tracking guide that links information in the 1993, 2000, and 2011 compendia versions; and the creation of a Web site to facilitate easy access and downloading of Compendium documents. Measured MET values were obtained from a systematic search of databases using defined key words.
RESULTS: The 2011 Compendium contains 821 codes for specific activities. Two hundred seventeen new codes were added, 68% (561/821) of which have measured MET values. Approximately half (317/604) of the codes from the 2000 Compendium were modified to improve the definitions and/or to consolidate specific activities and to update estimated MET values where measured values did not exist. Updated MET values accounted for 73% of all code changes.
CONCLUSIONS: The Compendium is used globally to quantify the energy cost of PA in adults for surveillance activities, research studies, and, in clinical settings, to write PA recommendations and to assess energy expenditure in individuals. The 2011 Compendium is an update of a system for quantifying the energy cost of adult human PA and is a living document that is moving in the direction of being 100% evidence based.",,,Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0195-9131, 1530-0315",Activities of Daily Living; Adult; Clinical Coding; Data Collection; Energy Metabolism; Female; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Motor Activity; Young Adult,2011-08,2011,,2011-08,43,8,1575-1581,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"AINSWORTH, BARBARA E.; HASKELL, WILLIAM L.; HERRMANN, STEPHEN D.; MECKES, NATHANAEL; BASSETT, DAVID R.; TUDOR-LOCKE, CATRINE; GREER, JENNIFER L.; VEZINA, JESSE; WHITT-GLOVER, MELICIA C.; LEON, ARTHUR S.","AINSWORTH, BARBARA E.

The success of bystander-deployed automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in public settings suggests that this may be the more common initial rhythm when out-of-hospital cardiac arrest occurs in public. We conducted a study to determine whether the location of the arrest, the type of arrhythmia, and the probability of survival are associated.
METHODS: Between 2005 and 2007, we conducted a prospective cohort study of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in adults in 10 North American communities. We assessed the frequencies of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia and of survival to hospital discharge for arrests at home as compared with arrests in public.
RESULTS: Of 12,930 evaluated out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, 2042 occurred in public and 9564 at home. For cardiac arrests at home, the incidence of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia was 25% when the arrest was witnessed by emergency-medical-services (EMS) personnel, 35% when it was witnessed by a bystander, and 36% when a bystander applied an AED. For cardiac arrests in public, the corresponding rates were 38%, 60%, and 79%. The adjusted odds ratio for initial ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia in public versus at home was 2.28 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.96 to 2.66; P < 0.001) for bystander-witnessed arrests and 4.48 (95% CI, 2.23 to 8.97; P<0.001) for arrests in which bystanders applied AEDs. The rate of survival to hospital discharge was 34% for arrests in public settings with AEDs applied by bystanders versus 12% for arrests at home (adjusted odds ratio, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.03 to 5.99; P = 0.04).
CONCLUSIONS: Regardless of whether out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are witnessed by EMS personnel or bystanders and whether AEDs are applied by bystanders, the proportion of arrests with initial ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia is much greater in public settings than at home. The incremental value of resuscitation strategies, such as the ready availability of an AED, may be related to the place where the arrest occurs.",,,New England Journal of Medicine,,,Massachusetts Medical Society,"0028-4793, 1533-4406","Age Factors; Aged; Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; Comorbidity; Defibrillators; Emergency Treatment; Female; Heart Arrest; Hospitalization; Humans; Incidence; Logistic Models; Male; Middle Aged; Prospective Studies; Survival Rate; Tachycardia, Ventricular; Time Factors; Ventricular Fibrillation; Volunteers",2011-01-27,2011,,2011-01-27,364,4,313-321,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Weisfeldt, Myron L; Everson-Stewart, Siobhan; Sitlani, Colleen; Rea, Thomas; Aufderheide, Tom P; Atkins, Dianne L; Bigham, Blair; Brooks, Steven C; Foerster, Christopher; Gray, Randal; Ornato, Joseph P; Powell, Judy; Kudenchuk, Peter J; Morrison, Laurie J","Weisfeldt, Myron L (Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21287, USA. mlw5@jhmi.edu); Everson-Stewart, Siobhan (); Sitlani, Colleen (); Rea, Thomas (); Aufderheide, Tom P (); Atkins, Dianne L (); Bigham, Blair (); Brooks, Steven C (); Foerster, Christopher (); Gray, Randal (); Ornato, Joseph P (); Powell, Judy (); Kudenchuk, Peter J (); Morrison, Laurie J ()",,"Weisfeldt, Myron L (Johns Hopkins University); Everson-Stewart, Siobhan (); Sitlani, Colleen (); Rea, Thomas (); Aufderheide, Tom P (); Atkins, Dianne L (); Bigham, Blair (); Brooks, Steven C (); Foerster, Christopher (); Gray, Randal (); Ornato, Joseph P (); Powell, Judy (); Kudenchuk, Peter J (); Morrison, Laurie J ()",Johns Hopkins University,grid.21107.35,Baltimore,Maryland,United States,Canadian Institutes of Health Research; National Heart Lung and Blood Institute,ICRP - International Cancer Research Partnership; US Federal Funders; NIH - National Institutes of Health,Canada; United States,grant.2691823; grant.2691824; grant.2691829; grant.2691821; grant.2691820; grant.2691826; grant.2691828; grant.2691827; grant.2691822; grant.2691819; grant.2691825,U01HL077871; U01HL077872; U01HL077908; U01HL077866; U01HL077865; U01HL077881; U01HL077887; U01HL077885; U01HL077867; U01HL077863; U01HL077873,0,0,,,,https://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJMoa1010663?articleTools=true,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1004846235,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 3202 Clinical Sciences; 42 Health Sciences,Cardiovascular; Clinical Research; Emergency Care; Heart Disease,Cardiovascular,,,,"A02 Public Health, Health Services and Primary Care",,,,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
,pub.1023985526,10.1161/circoutcomes.109.889576,20123673,,,Predictors of Survival From Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest,"BACKGROUND: Prior studies have identified key predictors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but differences exist in the magnitude of these findings. In this meta-analysis, we evaluated the strength of associations between OHCA and key factors (event witnessed by a bystander or emergency medical services [EMS], provision of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR], initial cardiac rhythm, or the return of spontaneous circulation). We also examined trends in OHCA survival over time.
METHODS AND RESULTS: An electronic search of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, Cochrane DSR, DARE, ACP Journal Club, and CCTR was conducted (January 1, 1950 to August 21, 2008) for studies reporting OHCA of presumed cardiac etiology in adults. Data were extracted from 79 studies involving 142 740 patients. The pooled survival rate to hospital admission was 23.8% (95% CI, 21.1 to 26.6) and to hospital discharge was 7.6% (95% CI, 6.7 to 8.4). Stratified by baseline rates, survival to hospital discharge was more likely among those: witnessed by a bystander (6.4% to 13.5%), witnessed by EMS (4.9% to 18.2%), who received bystander CPR (3.9% to 16.1%), were found in ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia (14.8% to 23.0%), or achieved return of spontaneous circulation (15.5% to 33.6%). Although 53% (95% CI, 45.0% to 59.9%) of events were witnessed by a bystander, only 32% (95% CI, 26.7% to 37.8%) received bystander CPR. The number needed to treat to save 1 life ranged from 16 to 23 for EMS-witnessed arrests, 17 to 71 for bystander-witnessed, and 24 to 36 for those receiving bystander CPR, depending on baseline survival rates. The aggregate survival rate of OHCA (7.6%) has not significantly changed in almost 3 decades.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall survival from OHCA has been stable for almost 30 years, as have the strong associations between key predictors and survival. Because most OHCA events are witnessed, efforts to improve survival should focus on prompt delivery of interventions of known effectiveness by those who witness the event.",,,Circulation Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes,,,Wolters Kluwer,"1941-7713, 1941-7705","Aged; Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; Delivery of Health Care; Emergency Medical Services; Heart Arrest; Humans; Middle Aged; Odds Ratio; Patient Admission; Patient Discharge; Publication Bias; Regression Analysis; Risk Assessment; Risk Factors; Survival Analysis; Tachycardia, Ventricular; Time Factors; Treatment Outcome; Ventricular Fibrillation",2009-11-10,2009,2009-11-10,2010-01,3,1,63-81,All OA; Bronze,Article,Review Article,"Sasson, Comilla; Rogers, Mary A.M.; Dahl, Jason; Kellermann, Arthur L.","Sasson, Comilla (From the Departments of Emergency Medicine (C.S.) and Internal Medicine (M.A.M.R.), University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; the University of Rochester (J.D.), NY; and the Department of Emergency Medicine (A.L.K.), Emory University, Atlanta, Ga.); Rogers, Mary A.M.

We examined duty-specific risks of death from coronary heart disease among on-duty U.S. firefighters from 1994 to 2004.
METHODS: We reviewed summaries provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the deaths of all on-duty firefighters between 1994 and 2004, except for deaths associated with the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Estimates of the proportions of time spent by firefighters each year performing various duties were obtained from a municipal fire department, from 17 large metropolitan fire departments, and from a national database. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for death from coronary heart disease during specific duties were calculated from the ratios of the observed odds to the expected odds, with nonemergency duties as the reference category.
RESULTS: Deaths from coronary heart disease were associated with suppressing a fire (32.1% of all such deaths), responding to an alarm (13.4%), returning from an alarm (17.4%), engaging in physical training (12.5%), responding to nonfire emergencies (9.4%), and performing nonemergency duties (15.4%). As compared with the odds of death from coronary heart disease during nonemergency duties, the odds were 12.1 to 136 times as high during fire suppression, 2.8 to 14.1 times as high during alarm response, 2.2 to 10.5 times as high during alarm return, and 2.9 to 6.6 times as high during physical training. These odds were based on three estimates of the time that firefighters spend on their duties.
CONCLUSIONS: Certain emergency firefighting duties were associated with a risk of death from coronary heart disease that was markedly higher than the risk associated with nonemergency duties. Fire suppression was associated with the highest risk, which was approximately 10 to 100 times as high as that for nonemergency duties.","Supported in part by grants from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (T42/CCT122961-02, to Dr. Kales) and the Massachusetts Public Employees Retirement Administration Commission (to Dr. Kales).

We sought to identify occupational and personal risk factors associated with on-duty CHD death.MethodsWe performed a case-control study, selecting 52 male firefighters whose CHD deaths were investigated by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. We selected two control populations: 51 male firefighters who died of on-duty trauma; and 310 male firefighters examined in 1996/1997, whose vital status and continued professional activity were re-documented in 1998.ResultsThe circadian pattern of CHD deaths was associated with emergency response calls: 77% of CHD deaths and 61% of emergency dispatches occurred between noon and midnight. Compared to non-emergency duties, fire suppression (OR = 64.1, 95% CI 7.4–556); training (OR = 7.6, 95% CI 1.8–31.3) and alarm response (OR = 5.6, 95% CI 1.1–28.8) carried significantly higher relative risks of CHD death. Compared to the active firefighters, the CHD victims had a significantly higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in multivariate regression models: age ≥ 45 years (OR 6.5, 95% CI 2.6–15.9), current smoking (OR 7.0, 95% CI 2.8–17.4), hypertension (OR 4.7, 95% CI 2.0–11.1), and a prior diagnosis of arterial-occlusive disease (OR 15.6, 95% CI 3.5–68.6).ConclusionsOur findings strongly support that most on-duty CHD fatalities are work-precipitated and occur in firefighters with underlying CHD. Improved fitness promotion, medical screening and medical management could prevent many of these premature deaths.","Supported by research grant OH03729 from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.

,pub.1021386263,10.1001/jama.285.9.1193,11231750,,,Improving Survival From Sudden Cardiac Arrest: The Role of the Automated External Defibrillator,"CONTEXT: Sudden cardiac death is a major public health problem in the United States, and improving survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has been the subject of intense study. Early defibrillation has been shown to be critical to improving survival. Use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) has become an important component of emergency medical systems, and recent advances in AED technology have allowed expansion of AED use to nontraditional first responders and the lay public.
OBJECTIVES: To examine advancements in AED technology, review the impact of AEDs on time to defibrillation and survival, and explore the future role of AEDs in the effort to improve survival following sudden cardiac arrest.
DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE was searched for articles from 1966 through December 2000 (Medical Subject Headings: electric countershock, heart arrest, resuscitation, emergency medical services; keywords: automatic external defibrillator, automated external defibrillator, public access defibrillation). Reference lists of relevant articles, news releases, and product information from manufacturers were also reviewed.
STUDY SELECTION: Initial MEDLINE search produced 4816 articles, from which 101 articles were selected for referencing based on having been published in a peer-reviewed journal and on relevance to the subject of the manuscript as determined by all 5 authors.
DATA EXTRACTION: All studies were critically reviewed for relevance, accuracy, and quality of data and study design by all authors.
DATA SYNTHESIS: Recent advances in AED technology and design have resulted in marked simplification of AED operation, improvements in accuracy and effectiveness, and reductions in cost. Use of AEDs by first responders and laypersons has reduced time to defibrillation and improved survival from sudden cardiac arrest in several communities. Initial studies of the cost-effectiveness of AED use in comparison with other commonly used treatments are favorable.
CONCLUSION: The AED represents an efficient method of delivering defibrillation to persons experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and its use by both traditional and nontraditional first responders appears to be safe and effective. The rapidly expanding role of AEDs in traditional emergency medical systems is supported by the literature, and initial studies of public access to defibrillation offer hope that further improvements in survival after sudden cardiac death can be achieved.",,,JAMA,,,American Medical Association (AMA),"0098-7484, 1538-3598","Cost-Benefit Analysis; Death, Sudden, Cardiac; Electric Countershock; Emergency Medical Services; Heart Arrest; Humans; Public Sector; Resuscitation; Survival Analysis",2001-03-07,2001,,2001-03-07,285,9,1193-1200,Closed,Article,Review Article,"Marenco, J P; Wang, P J; Link, M S; Homoud, M K; Estes, N A","Marenco, J P (New England Cardiac Arrhythmia Center, Division of Cardiology, New England Medical Center, 750 Washington St, Boston, MA 02111, USA. nestes@lifespan.org); Wang, P J (); Link, M S (); Homoud, M K (); Estes, N A ()",,"Marenco, J P (Tufts Medical Center); Wang, P J (); Link, M S (); Homoud, M K (); Estes, N A ()",Tufts Medical Center,grid.67033.31,Boston,Massachusetts,United States,,,,,,0,0,,,,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1021386263,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 42 Health Sciences; 4203 Health Services and Systems,Cardiovascular; Emergency Care; Heart Disease,Cardiovascular,,,,"A03 Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy",,,,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

However, the role of physical activity in precipitating or preventing sudden death has not been assessed prospectively in a large number of subjects.
METHODS: We used a prospective, nested case-crossover design within the Physicians' Health Study to compare the risk of sudden death during and up to 30 minutes after an episode of vigorous exertion with that during periods of lighter exertion or none. We then evaluated whether habitual vigorous exercise modified the risk of sudden death that was associated with vigorous exertion. In addition, the relation of vigorous exercise to the overall risk of sudden death and nonsudden death from coronary heart disease was assessed.
RESULTS: During 12 years of follow-up, 122 sudden deaths were confirmed among the 21,481 male physicians who were initially free of self-reported cardiovascular disease and who provided information on their habitual level of exercise at base line. The relative risk of-sudden death during and up to 30 minutes after vigorous exertion was 16.9 (95 percent confidence interval, 10.5 to 27.0; P<0.001). However, the absolute risk of sudden death during any particular episode of vigorous exertion was extremely low (1 sudden death per 1.51 million episodes of exertion). Habitual vigorous exercise attenuated the relative risk of sudden death that was associated with an episode of vigorous exertion (P value for trend=0.006). The base-line level of exercise was not associated with the overall risk of subsequent sudden death.
CONCLUSIONS: These prospective data from a study of U.S. male physicians suggest that habitual vigorous exercise diminishes the risk of sudden death during vigorous exertion.","Supported by grants (CA-40360 and HL-34595) from the National Institutes of Health.

Frequency of active coronary lesions, inactive coronary lesions, and myocardial infarction.","BACKGROUND: The reported frequency of active coronary lesions (plaque rupture and coronary thrombosis) in sudden death due to coronary artery atherosclerosis (sudden coronary death) has varied from < 20% to > 80% of cases in previous series. In hearts lacking an active coronary lesion, sudden death has usually been attributed to a healed myocardial infarction. The purpose of the present study was to determine the frequency of active and inactive coronary lesions and myocardial infarction in individuals with sudden coronary death.
METHODS AND RESULTS: The hearts of persons who died as a result of sudden coronary death underwent perfusion-fixation and postmortem angiography. An active coronary lesion was defined as a disrupted plaque, luminal fibrin/platelet thrombus, or both. We defined an inactive lesion as having a cross-sectional luminal stenosis of > or = 75% with neither plaque disruption nor luminal thrombus. Ninety hearts were examined (from 72 men and 18 women; mean age at the time of death, 51 +/- 10 years). Acute myocardial infarction was present in 19 (21% [acute myocardial infarction only in 9, both acute and healed myocardial infarction in 10]), healed myocardial infarction only in 37 (41%), and no myocardial infarction in 34 (38%). Active coronary lesions were identified in 51 (57%): acute thrombi plus disrupted plaques in 27, acute thrombi only in 21, and disrupted plaques only in 3. In hearts with acute myocardial infarction, active coronary lesions were significantly more prevalent than in hearts with only healed myocardial infarction or hearts lacking an acute or a healed myocardial infarction (89%, 46%, and 50%, respectively; P < .005). Hearts without acute or healed myocardial infarction and without active lesions were similar to hearts with active lesions with respect to heart weight and severity of epicardial coronary disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Acute changes in coronary plaque morphology (thrombus, plaque disruption, or both) were found in 57% of cases of sudden coronary death. In hearts with myocardial scars and no acute infarction, active coronary lesions were identified in 46% of cases. Neither myocardial infarction (acute or healed) nor an active coronary lesion was present in 19% of hearts.",,,Circulation,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0009-7322, 1524-4539","Coronary Angiography; Coronary Artery Disease; Coronary Thrombosis; Coronary Vessels; Death, Sudden, Cardiac; Female; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Myocardial Infarction; Myocardium; Risk Factors",1995-10,1995,,1995-10,92,7,1701-9,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Farb, Andrew; Tang, Anita L.; Burke, Allen P.; Sessums, Laura; Liang, Youhui; Virmani, Renu","Farb, Andrew (From the Department of Cardiovascular Pathology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Washington, DC.); Tang, Anita L.

To address these questions, we collected data from patients with confirmed myocardial infarction on their activities one hour before the onset of myocardial infarction and during control periods.
METHODS: Interviews with 1228 patients conducted an average of four days after myocardial infarction provided data on their usual annual frequency of physical activity and the time, type, and intensity of physical exertion in the 26 hours before the onset of myocardial infarction. We compared the observed frequency of heavy exertion (6 or more metabolic equivalents) with the expected values using two types of self-matched analyses based on a new case-crossover study design. The low frequency of heavy exertion during the control periods was validated by data from a population-based control group of 218 subjects.
RESULTS: Of the patients, 4.4 percent reported heavy exertion within one hour before the onset of myocardial infarction. The estimated relative risk of myocardial infarction in the hour after heavy physical exertion, as compared with less strenuous physical exertion or none, was 5.9 (95 percent confidence interval, 4.6 to 7.7), Among people who usually exercised less than one, one to two, three to four, or five or more times per week, the respective relative risks were 107 (95 percent confidence interval, 67 to 171), 19.4 (9.9 to 38.1), 8.6 (3.6 to 20.5), and 2.4 (1.5 to 3.7). Thus, increasing levels of habitual physical activity were associated with progressively lower relative risks. The induction time from heavy exertion to the onset of myocardial infarction was less than one hour, and symptoms usually began during the activity.
CONCLUSIONS: Heavy physical exertion can trigger the onset of acute myocardial infarction, particularly in people who are habitually sedentary. Improved understanding of the mechanisms by which heavy physical exertion triggers the onset of myocardial infarction and the manner in which regular exertion protects against it would facilitate the design of new preventive approaches.","Presented in part at the 64th Annual Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association, Anaheim, Calif., November 11-14, 1991.

,pub.1026313776,10.1056/nejm199312023292302,8232457,,,Physical Exertion as a Trigger of Acute Myocardial Infarction,"BACKGROUND: It is controversial whether the onset of myocardial infarction occurs randomly or is precipitated by identifiable stimuli. Previous studies have suggested a higher risk of cardiac events in association with exertion.
METHODS: Consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction were identified by recording all admissions to our hospital in Berlin and by monitoring a general population of 330,000 residents in Augsburg, Germany. Information on the circumstances of each infarction was obtained by means of standardized interviews. The data analysis included a comparison of patients with matched controls and a case-crossover comparison (one in which each patient serves as his or her own control) of the patient's usual frequency of exertion with the last episode of exertion before the onset of myocardial infarction.
RESULTS: From January 1989 through December 1991, 1194 patients (74 percent of whom were men; mean age [+/- SD], 61 +/- 9 years) completed the interview 13 +/- 6 days after infarction. We found that 7.1 percent of the case patients had engaged in physical exertion (> or = 6 metabolic equivalents) at the onset of infarction, as compared with 3.9 percent of the controls at the onset of the control event. For the patients as compared with the matched controls, the adjusted relative risk of having engaged in strenuous physical activity at the onset of infarction or the control event was 2.1 (95 percent confidence interval, 1.1 to 3.6). The case-crossover comparison yielded a similar relative risk of 2.1 (95 percent confidence interval, 1.6 to 3.1) for having engaged in strenuous physical activity within one hour before myocardial infarction. Patients whose frequency of regular exercise was less than four and four or more times per week had relative risks of 6.9 and 1.3, respectively (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: A period of strenuous physical activity is associated with a temporary increase in the risk of having a myocardial infarction, particularly among patients who exercise infrequently. These findings should aid in the identification of the triggering mechanisms for myocardial infarction and improve prevention of this common and serious disorder.","Supported in part by grants from the Schwarz Pharma Company and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Wi 957/2-1).

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Informed consent was obtained under an institutional review board-approved protocol. Multiple sequential chest radiographs obtained between 1955 and 2004 in 84 workers exposed to amphiboles associated with vermiculite in the town of Libby, Montana, were studied. A panel of three NIOSH B readers reviewed each worker's longitudinal chest radiograph series in reverse chronologic order and achieved a consensus reading for each radiograph. Measures of exposure were compared between workers with and those without progression of parenchymal and pleural abnormalities.
RESULTS: Because of the way the study was designed, all subjects had pleural (n = 84) and/or parenchymal (n = 26) abnormalities on the most recent chest radiograph. Compared with other investigations that used different methods, this investigation revealed shorter latency periods (defined as the interval between date of hire and date of earliest radiographic detection) for circumscribed pleural plaque (median latency, 8.6 years) and pleural calcification (median latency, 17.5 years). Pleural abnormalities progressed in 64 workers, while parenchymal abnormalities progressed in 14. No significant differences were found with regard to measures of exposure between workers with and those without progression.
CONCLUSION: The latency period for the development of pleural plaques may be shorter than previously reported. Early plaques are subtle and may not be detectable except at retrospective review.",,,Radiology,,,Radiological Society of North America (RSNA),"0033-8419, 1527-1315","Adult; Asbestos, Amphibole; Disease Progression; Humans; Logistic Models; Male; Middle Aged; Montana; Occupational Diseases; Occupational Exposure; Pleural Diseases; Radiography, Thoracic; Retrospective Studies; Statistics, Nonparametric",2010-06,2010,,2010-06,255,3,924-933,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Larson, Theodore C; Meyer, Cristopher A; Kapil, Vikas; Gurney, Jud W; Tarver, Robert D; Black, Charles B; Lockey, James E","Larson, Theodore C (Division of Health Studies, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, 4770 Buford Hwy NE, MS F57, Atlanta, GA 30341, USA. thl3@cdc.gov); Meyer, Cristopher A (); Kapil, Vikas (); Gurney, Jud W (); Tarver, Robert D (); Black, Charles B (); Lockey, James E ()",,"Larson, Theodore C (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry); Meyer, Cristopher A (); Kapil, Vikas (); Gurney, Jud W (); Tarver, Robert D (); Black, Charles B (); Lockey, James E ()",Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry,grid.453168.d,Atlanta,Georgia,United States,,,,,,38,4,1.31,6.79,3,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1001614537,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 3202 Clinical Sciences,,,,,,"A03 Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy",,,,,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Asbestos-contaminated Libby vermiculite was used in loose-fill attic insulation that remains in millions of homes in the United States, Canada, and other countries.
OBJECTIVE: This report describes asbestos-related occupational respiratory disease mortality among workers who mined, milled, and processed the Libby vermiculite.
METHODS: This historical cohort mortality study uses life table analysis methods to compare the age-adjusted mortality experience through 2001 of 1,672 Libby workers to that of white men in the U.S. population.
RESULTS: Libby workers were significantly more likely to die from asbestosis [standardized mortality ratio (SMR) = 165.8; 95% confidence interval (CI), 103.9-251.1], lung cancer (SMR = 1.7; 95% CI, 1.4-2.1), cancer of the pleura (SMR = 23.3; 95% CI, 6.3-59.5), and mesothelioma. Mortality from asbestosis and lung cancer increased with increasing duration and cumulative exposure to airborne tremolite asbestos and other amphibole fibers.
CONCLUSIONS: The observed dose-related increases in asbestosis and lung cancer mortality highlight the need for better understanding and control of exposures that may occur when homeowners or construction workers (including plumbers, cable installers, electricians, telephone repair personnel, and insulators) disturb loose-fill attic insulation made with asbestos-contaminated vermiculite from Libby, Montana.",,,Environmental Health Perspectives,,,Environmental Health Perspectives,"0091-6765, 1552-9924","Aged; Aluminum Silicates; Asbestos, Amphibole; Asbestosis; Cohort Studies; Humans; Lung Neoplasms; Male; Mesothelioma; Middle Aged; Mining; Montana; Occupational Exposure; Pleural Neoplasms; Retrospective Studies",2007-01-03,2007,2007-01-03,2007-04,115,4,579-585,All OA; Gold,Article,Research Article,"Sullivan, Patricia A.","Sullivan, Patricia A.

The amphibole-rich rock is the suspected cause of an abnormally high number of asbestos-related diseases reported in the residents of Libby, and in former mine and mill workers. The amphibole-rich samples were analyzed to determine composition and morphology of both fibrous and non-fibrous amphiboles. Sampling was carried out across the accessible portions of the deposit to obtain as complete a representation of the distribution of amphibole types as possible. The range of amphibole compositions, determined from electron probe microanalysis and X-ray diffraction analysis, indicates the presence of winchite, richterite, tremolite, and magnesioriebeckite. The amphiboles from Vermiculite Mountain show nearly complete solid solution between these end-member compositions. Magnesio-arfvedsonite and edenite may also be present in low abundance. An evaluation of the textural characteristics of the amphiboles shows the material to include a complete range of morphologies from prismatic crystals to asbestiform fibers. The morphology of the majority of the material is intermediate between these two varieties. All of the amphiboles, with the possible exception of magnesioriebeckite, can occur in fibrous or asbestiform habit.

We initiated a medical testing program in response to reports of respiratory illness in the community. The purpose of this analysis was to identify and quantify asbestos-related radiographic abnormalities among persons exposed to vermiculite in Libby and to examine associations between these outcomes and participants' self-reported exposures. A cross-sectional interview and medical testing were conducted in Libby from July through November 2000 and from July through September 2001. A total of 7,307 persons who had lived, worked, or played in Libby for at least 6 months before 31 December 1990 completed the interview. Of those, 6,668 participants > or = 18 years of age received chest radiographs to assess the prevalence of pleural and interstitial abnormalities. We observed pleural abnormalities in 17.8% of participants and interstitial abnormalities in < 1% of participants undergoing chest radiography. We examined 29 occupational, recreational, household, and other exposure pathways in the analysis. The prevalence of pleural abnormalities increased with increasing number of exposure pathways, ranging from 6.7% for those who reported no apparent exposures to 34.6% for those who reported > or = 12 pathways.

Mortality,"The vermiculite ore and concentrate of a mine and mill located near Libby, Montana was found to be contaminated with a fiber of the tremolite/acetinolite series. A study was conducted to estimate the exposure-response relationship for mortality for 575 men who had been hired prior to 1970 and employed at least 1 year at the Montana site. Individual cumulative fiber exposure (fiber-years) was calculated. Results indicated that mortality from nonmalignant respiratory disease (NMRD) and lung cancer was significantly increased compared to the U.S. white male population. For those workers more than 20 years since hire, the standard mortality rate (SMR) for lung cancer (ICDA 162-163) was 84.7, 225.1, 109.3, and 671.3 for less than 50, 50-99, 100-399, and more than 399 fiber-years respectively. Corresponding results for NMRD (ICDA 460-519) were 327.8, 283.5, 0, and 278.4. Based on a linear model for greater than 20 years since hire, the estimated percentage increase in lung cancer mortality risk was 0.6% for each fiber-year of exposure. At 5 fiber-years, the estimated percentage was 2.9% from an unrestricted (nonthreshold) linear model and 0.6% from a survival model.",,,American Journal of Industrial Medicine,,,Wiley,"0271-3586, 1097-0274","Aluminum Silicates; Asbestos, Amphibole; Humans; Lung Neoplasms; Male; Mesothelioma; Minerals; Mining; Montana; Occupational Diseases; Silicon Dioxide; Smoking; Time Factors",1987-01,1987,2007-01-11,1987-01,11,1,15-26,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Amandus, H.

It is generally accepted that CAD is the most common cause of SCD in adults, but the frequency of cardiomegaly as a primary or contributing cause is less known.
METHODS: We retrospectively studied the cardiac findings of all cases of adult SCD attributed to cardiomegaly, severe atherosclerosis, or both, in the absence of specific cardiomyopathy. Association between findings and risk factors was studied.
RESULTS: There were 484 sudden cardiac deaths, of which 402 met study criteria. Mean age was 49 ± 13 years, with 289 men and 159 African Americans (AAs). Cardiomegaly with presumed hypertensive, multifactorial or unknown cause, was the sole arrhythmogenic substrate in 38% of men and 49% of women (p = 0.003); CAD was the sole cause of SCD in 19% of men and 26% of women, and mixed CAD + cardiomegaly the cause of death in 43% of men and 25% of women. Cardiomegaly was associated by univariate analysis with younger age (46 ± 12 years versus 53 ± 14 for CAD, p < 0.0001), AA race (p = 0.004), and body mass index (p < 0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: Among adults with a mean age of about 50 years, cardiomegaly is a frequent cause of sudden cardiac death, and is highly associated with obesity. Cardiomegaly is also frequent in SCD with severe CAD. The causes and classification of cardiomegaly in patients without specific cardiomyopathy, and in patients with and without hypertension or coronary disease need to be better studied.",,,Pathology,,,Elsevier,"0031-3025, 1465-3931","Adult; Arrhythmias, Cardiac; Atherosclerosis; Cardiomegaly; Cause of Death; Comorbidity; Death, Sudden, Cardiac; Female; Humans; Male; Maryland; Middle Aged; Obesity; Retrospective Studies; Survival Rate",2012-04,2012,,2012-04,44,3,187-191,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Tavora, Fabio; Zhang, Y.; Zhang, M.; Li, L; Ripple, M.; Fowler, D.; Burke, Allen","Tavora, Fabio (Federal University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil); Zhang, Y.

,pub.1004439983,10.1007/s12350-011-9482-9,22130965,,,Use of cardiac radionuclide imaging to identify patients at risk for arrhythmic sudden cardiac death,"Sudden cardiac death (SCD) accounts for about ½ of all cardiovascular deaths, in most cases the result of a lethal ventricular arrhythmia. Patients considered at risk are often treated with an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD), but current criteria for device use, based largely on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), leads to many patients receiving ICDs that they do not use, and many others not receiving ICDs but who suffer SCD. Thus, better methods of identifying patients at risk for SCD are needed, and radionuclide imaging offers much potential. Recent work has focused on imaging of cardiac autonomic innervation. (123)I-mIBG, a norepinephrine analog, is the tracer most studied, and a variety of positron emission tomographic tracers are also under investigation. Radionuclide autonomic imaging may identify at-risk patients with ischemic coronary artery disease, particularly following myocardial infarction and in the setting of hibernating myocardium. Most studies have been done in the setting of congestive heart failure (CHF), with a recent large multicenter study of patients with advanced disease, typically at high risk of SCD, showing that (123)I-mIBG can identify a low risk subgroup with an extremely low incidence of lethal ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac death, therefore, perhaps not requiring an ICD. Cardiac neuronal imaging has been shown to be better predictive of lethal arrhythmias/cardiac death than LVEF and New York Heart Association class, as well as various ECG parameters. Autonomic imaging will likely play an important role in the advancement of cardiac molecular imaging.",,,Journal of Nuclear Cardiology,,,Elsevier,"1071-3581, 1532-6551","3-Iodobenzylguanidine; Death, Sudden, Cardiac; Humans; Radionuclide Imaging; Radiopharmaceuticals; Ventricular Dysfunction, Left",2012-02,2012,,2012-02,19,1,142-152,Closed,Article,Review Article,"Kelesidis, Iosif; Travin, Mark I.","Kelesidis, Iosif (Department of Nuclear Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, 111 East-210th Street, 10467-2490, Bronx, NY, USA; Division of Cardiology/Department of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY, USA); Travin, Mark I.

,pub.1003123564,10.1249/mss.0b013e31821ece12,21681120,,,2011 Compendium of Physical Activities,"PURPOSE: The Compendium of Physical Activities was developed to enhance the comparability of results across studies using self-report physical activity (PA) and is used to quantify the energy cost of a wide variety of PA. We provide the second update of the Compendium, called the 2011 Compendium.
METHODS: The 2011 Compendium retains the previous coding scheme to identify the major category headings and specific PA by their rate of energy expenditure in MET. Modifications in the 2011 Compendium include cataloging measured MET values and their source references, when available; addition of new codes and specific activities; an update of the Compendium tracking guide that links information in the 1993, 2000, and 2011 compendia versions; and the creation of a Web site to facilitate easy access and downloading of Compendium documents. Measured MET values were obtained from a systematic search of databases using defined key words.
RESULTS: The 2011 Compendium contains 821 codes for specific activities. Two hundred seventeen new codes were added, 68% (561/821) of which have measured MET values. Approximately half (317/604) of the codes from the 2000 Compendium were modified to improve the definitions and/or to consolidate specific activities and to update estimated MET values where measured values did not exist. Updated MET values accounted for 73% of all code changes.
CONCLUSIONS: The Compendium is used globally to quantify the energy cost of PA in adults for surveillance activities, research studies, and, in clinical settings, to write PA recommendations and to assess energy expenditure in individuals. The 2011 Compendium is an update of a system for quantifying the energy cost of adult human PA and is a living document that is moving in the direction of being 100% evidence based.",,,Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0195-9131, 1530-0315",Activities of Daily Living; Adult; Clinical Coding; Data Collection; Energy Metabolism; Female; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Motor Activity; Young Adult,2011-08,2011,,2011-08,43,8,1575-1581,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"AINSWORTH, BARBARA E.; HASKELL, WILLIAM L.; HERRMANN, STEPHEN D.; MECKES, NATHANAEL; BASSETT, DAVID R.; TUDOR-LOCKE, CATRINE; GREER, JENNIFER L.; VEZINA, JESSE; WHITT-GLOVER, MELICIA C.; LEON, ARTHUR S.","AINSWORTH, BARBARA E.

,pub.1004846235,10.1056/nejmoa1010663,21268723,PMC3062845,,Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias after Cardiac Arrest in Public versus at Home,"BACKGROUND: The incidence of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia as the first recorded rhythm after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has unexpectedly declined. The success of bystander-deployed automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in public settings suggests that this may be the more common initial rhythm when out-of-hospital cardiac arrest occurs in public. We conducted a study to determine whether the location of the arrest, the type of arrhythmia, and the probability of survival are associated.
METHODS: Between 2005 and 2007, we conducted a prospective cohort study of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in adults in 10 North American communities. We assessed the frequencies of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia and of survival to hospital discharge for arrests at home as compared with arrests in public.
RESULTS: Of 12,930 evaluated out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, 2042 occurred in public and 9564 at home. For cardiac arrests at home, the incidence of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia was 25% when the arrest was witnessed by emergency-medical-services (EMS) personnel, 35% when it was witnessed by a bystander, and 36% when a bystander applied an AED. For cardiac arrests in public, the corresponding rates were 38%, 60%, and 79%. The adjusted odds ratio for initial ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia in public versus at home was 2.28 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.96 to 2.66; P < 0.001) for bystander-witnessed arrests and 4.48 (95% CI, 2.23 to 8.97; P<0.001) for arrests in which bystanders applied AEDs. The rate of survival to hospital discharge was 34% for arrests in public settings with AEDs applied by bystanders versus 12% for arrests at home (adjusted odds ratio, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.03 to 5.99; P = 0.04).
CONCLUSIONS: Regardless of whether out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are witnessed by EMS personnel or bystanders and whether AEDs are applied by bystanders, the proportion of arrests with initial ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia is much greater in public settings than at home. The incremental value of resuscitation strategies, such as the ready availability of an AED, may be related to the place where the arrest occurs.",,,New England Journal of Medicine,,,Massachusetts Medical Society,"0028-4793, 1533-4406","Age Factors; Aged; Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; Comorbidity; Defibrillators; Emergency Treatment; Female; Heart Arrest; Hospitalization; Humans; Incidence; Logistic Models; Male; Middle Aged; Prospective Studies; Survival Rate; Tachycardia, Ventricular; Time Factors; Ventricular Fibrillation; Volunteers",2011-01-27,2011,,2011-01-27,364,4,313-321,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Weisfeldt, Myron L; Everson-Stewart, Siobhan; Sitlani, Colleen; Rea, Thomas; Aufderheide, Tom P; Atkins, Dianne L; Bigham, Blair; Brooks, Steven C; Foerster, Christopher; Gray, Randal; Ornato, Joseph P; Powell, Judy; Kudenchuk, Peter J; Morrison, Laurie J","Weisfeldt, Myron L (Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21287, USA. mlw5@jhmi.edu); Everson-Stewart, Siobhan (); Sitlani, Colleen (); Rea, Thomas (); Aufderheide, Tom P (); Atkins, Dianne L (); Bigham, Blair (); Brooks, Steven C (); Foerster, Christopher (); Gray, Randal (); Ornato, Joseph P (); Powell, Judy (); Kudenchuk, Peter J (); Morrison, Laurie J ()",,"Weisfeldt, Myron L (Johns Hopkins University); Everson-Stewart, Siobhan (); Sitlani, Colleen (); Rea, Thomas (); Aufderheide, Tom P (); Atkins, Dianne L (); Bigham, Blair (); Brooks, Steven C (); Foerster, Christopher (); Gray, Randal (); Ornato, Joseph P (); Powell, Judy (); Kudenchuk, Peter J (); Morrison, Laurie J ()",Johns Hopkins University,grid.21107.35,Baltimore,Maryland,United States,Canadian Institutes of Health Research; National Heart Lung and Blood Institute,ICRP - International Cancer Research Partnership; US Federal Funders; NIH - National Institutes of Health,Canada; United States,grant.2691823; grant.2691824; grant.2691829; grant.2691821; grant.2691820; grant.2691826; grant.2691828; grant.2691827; grant.2691822; grant.2691819; grant.2691825,U01HL077871; U01HL077872; U01HL077908; U01HL077866; U01HL077865; U01HL077881; U01HL077887; U01HL077885; U01HL077867; U01HL077863; U01HL077873,0,0,,,,https://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJMoa1010663?articleTools=true,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1004846235,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 3202 Clinical Sciences; 42 Health Sciences,Cardiovascular; Clinical Research; Emergency Care; Heart Disease,Cardiovascular,,,,"A02 Public Health, Health Services and Primary Care",,,,,,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

In this meta-analysis, we evaluated the strength of associations between OHCA and key factors (event witnessed by a bystander or emergency medical services [EMS], provision of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR], initial cardiac rhythm, or the return of spontaneous circulation). We also examined trends in OHCA survival over time.
METHODS AND RESULTS: An electronic search of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, Cochrane DSR, DARE, ACP Journal Club, and CCTR was conducted (January 1, 1950 to August 21, 2008) for studies reporting OHCA of presumed cardiac etiology in adults. Data were extracted from 79 studies involving 142 740 patients. The pooled survival rate to hospital admission was 23.8% (95% CI, 21.1 to 26.6) and to hospital discharge was 7.6% (95% CI, 6.7 to 8.4). Stratified by baseline rates, survival to hospital discharge was more likely among those: witnessed by a bystander (6.4% to 13.5%), witnessed by EMS (4.9% to 18.2%), who received bystander CPR (3.9% to 16.1%), were found in ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia (14.8% to 23.0%), or achieved return of spontaneous circulation (15.5% to 33.6%). Although 53% (95% CI, 45.0% to 59.9%) of events were witnessed by a bystander, only 32% (95% CI, 26.7% to 37.8%) received bystander CPR. The number needed to treat to save 1 life ranged from 16 to 23 for EMS-witnessed arrests, 17 to 71 for bystander-witnessed, and 24 to 36 for those receiving bystander CPR, depending on baseline survival rates. The aggregate survival rate of OHCA (7.6%) has not significantly changed in almost 3 decades.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall survival from OHCA has been stable for almost 30 years, as have the strong associations between key predictors and survival. Because most OHCA events are witnessed, efforts to improve survival should focus on prompt delivery of interventions of known effectiveness by those who witness the event.",,,Circulation Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes,,,Wolters Kluwer,"1941-7713, 1941-7705","Aged; Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; Delivery of Health Care; Emergency Medical Services; Heart Arrest; Humans; Middle Aged; Odds Ratio; Patient Admission; Patient Discharge; Publication Bias; Regression Analysis; Risk Assessment; Risk Factors; Survival Analysis; Tachycardia, Ventricular; Time Factors; Treatment Outcome; Ventricular Fibrillation",2009-11-10,2009,2009-11-10,2010-01,3,1,63-81,All OA; Bronze,Article,Review Article,"Sasson, Comilla; Rogers, Mary A.M.; Dahl, Jason; Kellermann, Arthur L.","Sasson, Comilla (From the Departments of Emergency Medicine (C.S.) and Internal Medicine (M.A.M.R.), University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; the University of Rochester (J.D.), NY; and the Department of Emergency Medicine (A.L.K.), Emory University, Atlanta, Ga.); Rogers, Mary A.M.

,pub.1027288887,10.1056/nejmoa060357,17377158,,,Emergency Duties and Deaths from Heart Disease among Firefighters in the United States,"BACKGROUND: Heart disease causes 45% of the deaths that occur among U.S. firefighters while they are on duty. We examined duty-specific risks of death from coronary heart disease among on-duty U.S. firefighters from 1994 to 2004.
METHODS: We reviewed summaries provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the deaths of all on-duty firefighters between 1994 and 2004, except for deaths associated with the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Estimates of the proportions of time spent by firefighters each year performing various duties were obtained from a municipal fire department, from 17 large metropolitan fire departments, and from a national database. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for death from coronary heart disease during specific duties were calculated from the ratios of the observed odds to the expected odds, with nonemergency duties as the reference category.
RESULTS: Deaths from coronary heart disease were associated with suppressing a fire (32.1% of all such deaths), responding to an alarm (13.4%), returning from an alarm (17.4%), engaging in physical training (12.5%), responding to nonfire emergencies (9.4%), and performing nonemergency duties (15.4%). As compared with the odds of death from coronary heart disease during nonemergency duties, the odds were 12.1 to 136 times as high during fire suppression, 2.8 to 14.1 times as high during alarm response, 2.2 to 10.5 times as high during alarm return, and 2.9 to 6.6 times as high during physical training. These odds were based on three estimates of the time that firefighters spend on their duties.
CONCLUSIONS: Certain emergency firefighting duties were associated with a risk of death from coronary heart disease that was markedly higher than the risk associated with nonemergency duties. Fire suppression was associated with the highest risk, which was approximately 10 to 100 times as high as that for nonemergency duties.","Supported in part by grants from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (T42/CCT122961-02, to Dr. Kales) and the Massachusetts Public Employees Retirement Administration Commission (to Dr. Kales).

We sought to identify occupational and personal risk factors associated with on-duty CHD death.MethodsWe performed a case-control study, selecting 52 male firefighters whose CHD deaths were investigated by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. We selected two control populations: 51 male firefighters who died of on-duty trauma; and 310 male firefighters examined in 1996/1997, whose vital status and continued professional activity were re-documented in 1998.ResultsThe circadian pattern of CHD deaths was associated with emergency response calls: 77% of CHD deaths and 61% of emergency dispatches occurred between noon and midnight. Compared to non-emergency duties, fire suppression (OR = 64.1, 95% CI 7.4–556); training (OR = 7.6, 95% CI 1.8–31.3) and alarm response (OR = 5.6, 95% CI 1.1–28.8) carried significantly higher relative risks of CHD death. Compared to the active firefighters, the CHD victims had a significantly higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in multivariate regression models: age ≥ 45 years (OR 6.5, 95% CI 2.6–15.9), current smoking (OR 7.0, 95% CI 2.8–17.4), hypertension (OR 4.7, 95% CI 2.0–11.1), and a prior diagnosis of arterial-occlusive disease (OR 15.6, 95% CI 3.5–68.6).ConclusionsOur findings strongly support that most on-duty CHD fatalities are work-precipitated and occur in firefighters with underlying CHD. Improved fitness promotion, medical screening and medical management could prevent many of these premature deaths.","Supported by research grant OH03729 from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.

METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients with recent onset of DCM (< or =9 months) and an ejection fraction < or =30% were randomly assigned to the implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or control. The primary end point of the trial was all-cause mortality at 1 year of follow-up. The trial was terminated after the inclusion of 104 patients because the all-cause mortality rate at 1 year did not reach the expected 30% in the control group. In August 2000, the vital status of all patients was updated by contacting patients, relatives, or local registration offices. One hundred four patients were enrolled in the trial: Fifty were assigned to ICD therapy and 54 to the control group. Mean follow-up was 22.8+/-4.3 months, on the basis of investigators' follow-up. After 1 year, 6 patients were dead (4 in the ICD group and 2 in the control group). No sudden death occurred during the first and second years of follow-up. In August 2000, after a mean follow-up of 5.5+/-2.2 years, 30 deaths had occurred (13 in the ICD group and 17 in the control group). Cumulative survival was not significantly different between the two groups (93% and 80% in the control group versus 92% and 86% in the ICD group after 2 and 4 years, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: This trial did not provide evidence in favor of prophylactic ICD implantation in patients with DCM of recent onset and impaired left ventricular ejection fraction.","This study was supported by a grant from Guidant, Giessen, Germany.",,Circulation,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0009-7322, 1524-4539","Cardiac Surgical Procedures;

,pub.1021386263,10.1001/jama.285.9.1193,11231750,,,Improving Survival From Sudden Cardiac Arrest: The Role of the Automated External Defibrillator,"CONTEXT: Sudden cardiac death is a major public health problem in the United States, and improving survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has been the subject of intense study. Early defibrillation has been shown to be critical to improving survival. Use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) has become an important component of emergency medical systems, and recent advances in AED technology have allowed expansion of AED use to nontraditional first responders and the lay public.
OBJECTIVES: To examine advancements in AED technology, review the impact of AEDs on time to defibrillation and survival, and explore the future role of AEDs in the effort to improve survival following sudden cardiac arrest.
DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE was searched for articles from 1966 through December 2000 (Medical Subject Headings: electric countershock, heart arrest, resuscitation, emergency medical services; keywords: automatic external defibrillator, automated external defibrillator, public access defibrillation). Reference lists of relevant articles, news releases, and product information from manufacturers were also reviewed.
STUDY SELECTION: Initial MEDLINE search produced 4816 articles, from which 101 articles were selected for referencing based on having been published in a peer-reviewed journal and on relevance to the subject of the manuscript as determined by all 5 authors.
DATA EXTRACTION: All studies were critically reviewed for relevance, accuracy, and quality of data and study design by all authors.
DATA SYNTHESIS: Recent advances in AED technology and design have resulted in marked simplification of AED operation, improvements in accuracy and effectiveness, and reductions in cost. Use of AEDs by first responders and laypersons has reduced time to defibrillation and improved survival from sudden cardiac arrest in several communities. Initial studies of the cost-effectiveness of AED use in comparison with other commonly used treatments are favorable.
CONCLUSION: The AED represents an efficient method of delivering defibrillation to persons experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and its use by both traditional and nontraditional first responders appears to be safe and effective. The rapidly expanding role of AEDs in traditional emergency medical systems is supported by the literature, and initial studies of public access to defibrillation offer hope that further improvements in survival after sudden cardiac death can be achieved.",,,JAMA,,,American Medical Association (AMA),"0098-7484, 1538-3598","Cost-Benefit Analysis; Death, Sudden, Cardiac; Electric Countershock; Emergency Medical Services; Heart Arrest; Humans; Public Sector; Resuscitation; Survival Analysis",2001-03-07,2001,,2001-03-07,285,9,1193-1200,Closed,Article,Review Article,"Marenco, J P; Wang, P J; Link, M S; Homoud, M K; Estes, N A","Marenco, J P (New England Cardiac Arrhythmia Center, Division of Cardiology, New England Medical Center, 750 Washington St, Boston, MA 02111, USA. nestes@lifespan.org); Wang, P J (); Link, M S (); Homoud, M K (); Estes, N A ()",,"Marenco, J P (Tufts Medical Center); Wang, P J (); Link, M S (); Homoud, M K (); Estes, N A ()",Tufts Medical Center,grid.67033.31,Boston,Massachusetts,United States,,,,,,0,0,,,,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1021386263,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 42 Health Sciences; 4203 Health Services and Systems,Cardiovascular; Emergency Care; Heart Disease,Cardiovascular,,,,"A03 Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy",,,,,,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

However, the role of physical activity in precipitating or preventing sudden death has not been assessed prospectively in a large number of subjects.
METHODS: We used a prospective, nested case-crossover design within the Physicians' Health Study to compare the risk of sudden death during and up to 30 minutes after an episode of vigorous exertion with that during periods of lighter exertion or none. We then evaluated whether habitual vigorous exercise modified the risk of sudden death that was associated with vigorous exertion. In addition, the relation of vigorous exercise to the overall risk of sudden death and nonsudden death from coronary heart disease was assessed.
RESULTS: During 12 years of follow-up, 122 sudden deaths were confirmed among the 21,481 male physicians who were initially free of self-reported cardiovascular disease and who provided information on their habitual level of exercise at base line. The relative risk of-sudden death during and up to 30 minutes after vigorous exertion was 16.9 (95 percent confidence interval, 10.5 to 27.0; P<0.001). However, the absolute risk of sudden death during any particular episode of vigorous exertion was extremely low (1 sudden death per 1.51 million episodes of exertion). Habitual vigorous exercise attenuated the relative risk of sudden death that was associated with an episode of vigorous exertion (P value for trend=0.006). The base-line level of exercise was not associated with the overall risk of subsequent sudden death.
CONCLUSIONS: These prospective data from a study of U.S. male physicians suggest that habitual vigorous exercise diminishes the risk of sudden death during vigorous exertion.","Supported by grants (CA-40360 and HL-34595) from the National Institutes of Health.

,pub.1029304458,10.1056/nejm199912023412302,10580070,,,Missense Mutations in the Rod Domain of the Lamin A/C Gene as Causes of Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Conduction-System Disease,"BACKGROUND: Inherited mutations cause approximately 35 percent of cases of dilated cardiomyopathy; however, few genes associated with this disease have been identified. Previously, we located a gene defect that was responsible for autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy and conduction-system disease on chromosome 1p1-q21, where nuclear-envelope proteins lamin A and lamin C are encoded by the LMNA (lamin A/C) gene. Mutations in the head or tail domain of this gene cause Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, a childhood-onset disease characterized by joint contractures and in some cases by abnormalities of cardiac conduction during adulthood.
METHODS: We evaluated 11 families with autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy and conduction-system disease. Sequences of the lamin A/C exons were determined in probands from each family, and variants were confirmed by restriction-enzyme digestion. The genotypes of the family members were ascertained.
RESULTS: Five novel missense mutations were identified: four in the alpha-helical-rod domain of the lamin A/C gene, and one in the lamin C tail domain. Each mutation caused heritable, progressive conduction-system disease (sinus bradycardia, atrioventricular conduction block, or atrial arrhythmias) and dilated cardiomyopathy. Heart failure and sudden death occurred frequently within these families. No family members with mutations had either joint contractures or skeletal myopathy. Serum creatine kinase levels were normal in family members with mutations of the lamin rod but mildly elevated in some family members with a defect in the tail domain of lamin C.
CONCLUSIONS: Genetic defects in distinct domains of the nuclear-envelope proteins lamin A and lamin C selectively cause dilated cardiomyopathy with conduction-system disease or autosomal dominant Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. Missense mutations in the rod domain of the lamin A/C gene provide a genetic cause for dilated cardiomyopathy and indicate that this intermediate filament protein has an important role in cardiac conduction and contractility.","Supported by the Stanley J.

A population-based study.,"OBJECTIVE: To describe the prognosis of individuals with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in a population-based sample and to compare this with the prognosis of patients in a previous referral center case series of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
DESIGN: Cohort study.
SETTING: Population-based in Olmsted County, Minnesota.
PATIENTS: Forty residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy initially diagnosed between 1975 and 1984 who were followed through 1 July 1989 and 104 patients from a Mayo Clinic referral case series from 1960 to 1973.
MEASUREMENTS: Survival for the population-based cohort at 1 year and 5 years.
RESULTS: Survival at 1 year differed dramatically between the population-based cohort and the referral case series at 1 year (95% compared with 69%, respectively) and at 5 years (80% compared with 36%, respectively) (P less than 0.001). Long-term survival for the population-based cohort was nonetheless impaired when compared with an age- and sex-matched cohort, that is, the 1980 Minnesota white population (8-year survival: observed, 58% compared with expected, 83%; P less than 0.001). Among community patients, older age (adjusted Cox model hazard ratio for 10-year increase in age, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.08 to 2.35) and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (adjusted hazard ratio for 10% decrease, 1.90; CI, 1.04 to 3.50) were independently associated with impaired survival.
CONCLUSIONS: These population-based data challenge the clinical perception of the clinical course of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy based on referral practice prognostic studies and suggest that the clinical course of this condition may be more favorable than previously recognized.",,,Annals of Internal Medicine,,,American College of Physicians,"1056-8751, 1539-8560, 0003-4819, 1539-3704","Cardiomyopathy, Dilated; Female; Follow-Up Studies; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Prognosis; Referral and Consultation; Risk Factors; Survival Rate",1992-07-15,1992,,1992-07-15,117,2,117-23,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Sugrue, D D; Rodeheffer, R J; Codd, M B; Ballard, D J; Fuster, V; Gersh, B J","Sugrue, D D (Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.); Rodeheffer, R J (); Codd, M B (); Ballard, D J (); Fuster, V (); Gersh, B J ()",,"Sugrue, D D (Mayo Clinic); Rodeheffer, R J (); Codd, M B (); Ballard, D J (); Fuster, V (); Gersh, B J ()",Mayo Clinic,grid.66875.3a,Rochester,Minnesota,United States,National Heart Lung and Blood Institute; National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases,US Federal Funders; NIH - National Institutes of Health; ICRP - International Cancer Research Partnership,United States; United States,grant.2462500; grant.2530096,R01AR030582; R01HL024326,163,3,4.45,,9,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1073696661,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 3202 Clinical Sciences,Cardiovascular; Clinical Research; Heart Disease; Rare Diseases,Cardiovascular,4.2 Evaluation of markers and technologies,,,A01 Clinical Medicine,,,,,,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The following parameters were independent predictors of mortality: first symptom: pulmonary oedema, peripheral oedema, syncope; duration of symptoms at the time of inclusion; end systolic left ventricular volume; end diastolic left ventricular diameter; pulmonary artery systolic pressure; and their combination had the most accurate predictive value for death. A quantitative score (s) was calculated and used to define three subgroups: A:s less than or equal to 4.5; B: 4.5 less than s less than 6; C:s greater than or equal to 6.

,pub.1021798468,10.1016/0002-9149(84)90029-8,6229998,,,Adult human valve dimensions and their surgical significance,"After cardiac valve replacement, some patients may show little improvement in functional status, in part because their prosthesis is restrictive. Guidelines were sought for valve replacement from measurements of valve circumference and calculated circularized orifice area in 160 postmortem hearts from adults with and without congestive cardiac failure. Multivariate analysis was used to relate valve area to age, sex, height, body surface area and cardiac failure. Only sex and cardiac failure were significantly related to valve area. Body surface area and other variables were poorly related to valve area. The mean (+/- standard deviation) circularized orifice area for adult male (M) and female (F) heart valves in the absence of cardiac failure were: Aortic, M 4.81 +/- 1.30, F 3.73 +/- 0.98; pulmonary, M 4.88 +/- 1.25, F 4.32 +/- 1.03; mitral, M 8.70 +/- 2.08, F 6.94 +/- 1.41; and tricuspid, M 11.9 +/- 2.72, F 9.33 +/- 2.02. In cardiac failure, atrioventricular valves enlarge (p less than 0.004). Guided by these dimensions, the surgeon can aim to insert a prosthesis of appropriate size. Comparison of these sizes with the manufacturer's calculated area for current prostheses shows that most mechanical valves and bioprostheses are potentially restrictive at rest. Improved prosthestic design, valve repair whenever possible, and anular enlargement procedures would be required to eliminate this size disparity.",,,The American Journal of Cardiology,,,Elsevier,"0002-9149, 1879-1913",Adolescent; Adult; Aged; Body Height; Body Surface Area; Cardiomegaly; Female; Heart Failure; Heart Valve Prosthesis; Heart Valves; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Organ Size; Prosthesis Design; Sex Factors,1984-02,1984,,1984-02,53,4,552-556,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Westaby, Steve; Karp, Robert B.; Blackstone, Eugene H.; Bishop, Sanford P.","Westaby, Steve (From the Departments of Surgery and Pathology, The University of Alabama in Birmingham, The Medical Center, Birmingham, Alabama, USA); Karp, Robert B.

Its acceptance has already been on rise in developing countries like India, where there is acute shortage of energy due to economic and other climatic reasons. Forecasting or predicting the future output of solar energy is a much needed step to integrate high insolation of solar energy to the nation's power grid. Due to the fluctuating nature of solar energy, an efficient use is possible depending on reliable forecast information and its availability in various time and spatial scales. The current status of forecasting of solar irradiance for energy generation proposes a review of solar radiation prediction and its application in a rapidly increasing economy like India.

This system detects fire by monitoring surrounding temperature, humidity and smoke. Once fire is detected, a warning message containing probable location of that fire is immediately sent to the responsible authority over cellular network. In order for the system to be more effective, communities living near forests or national parks can send warning messages through the same system to the responsible authority using their mobile handsets once they witness wildfire or illegal activities. For the system to be fully functional, the only requirement is the availability of cellular network coverage in forests or national parks to enable short message services to take place. The system prototype is developed using Arduino microcontroller, several sensors to detect temperature, relative humidity and smoke as well as wireless network connection modules. At the control center Telerivet messaging platform is used to design the messaging service.

Fires emit significant amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere. Studies have found that greenhouse gas emissions from forest fires strongly influence climate change. In the present study, the spatio-temporal patterns of forest fires were examined from 2004 to 2013 in Similipal Biosphere Reserve, Eastern Ghats of India. This study focuses on estimation of carbon emissions from forest fires based on IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. The total area affected under forest fire has been estimated as 23.7% in 2004, 11.5% in 2005, 24.8% in 2006, 23.5% in 2007 and 18% in 2008, 27.9% in 2009, 16.4% in 2010, 16.3% km2 in 2011, 27% km2 in 2012 and 14% in 2013. CO2 emissions were estimated for tropical vegetation types i.e. semi-evergreen, moist deciduous, dry deciduous, high-level Sal, low-level Sal forest, scrub, savannah and grasslands. The total carbon emissions from forest fires in Similipal vary from 0.93 to 1.58 CO2Tgyr−1 during the study. The mean annual rate of carbon emissions was observed to be 1.26 CO2Tgyr−1. Similarly, other trace gases like CO, CH4, N2O and NOx has also been calculated. This study is helpful in formulating conservation plans and thus helps in mitigating the impact of climate change. Considering the global significance of Biosphere Reserves in the conservation of biodiversity, more scientific studies are required to understand the impact of ongoing fire regimes.","AcknowledgmentsThe work has been carried out under national project “Inventorization and monitoring of biosphere reserves in India using remote sensing and GIS technology,” supported by the Ministry of Environment Forests and Climate Change (5/2011), Government of India.

It also addresses some of the shortcomings identified in existing literature by estimating the value of several intangible benefits, and disservices of forests ignored in most valuation studies, as well as the added value from intact forests as compared to from alternative landscapes. Using primary and secondary data, and economic valuation techniques the study shows that the total net benefits provided by the Nagarhole national park in Karnataka, India are considerable. The added value of benefits from the park is also higher as compared to from alternative landscapes considering just three ecosystem services. If these are factored in decision making it could strengthen the economic case for conserving forests in tropical countries such as India where there is immense pressure to divert forests for meeting development needs.","AcknowledgmentThis paper was initiated when the first author was a Visiting Professor in the department of Land Economy, University of Cambridge in 2014.

We examined if the globally widespread seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) can be placed as a single entity in this framework by analyzing environmental influences on fire extent in a structurally diverse SDTF landscape in the Western Ghats of southern India, representative of similar forests in monsoonal south and southeast Asia. We used logistic regression to model fire extent with factors that represent fuel load and fuel moisture at two levels-the overall landscape and within four defined moisture regimes (between 700 and1700 mm yr-1)-using a dataset of area burnt and seasonal rainfall from 1990 to 2010. The landscape scale model showed that the extent of fire in a given year within this SDTF is dependent on the combined interaction of seasonal rainfall and extent burnt the previous year. Within individual moisture regimes the relative contribution of these factors to the annual extent burnt varied-early dry season rainfall (i.e., fuel moisture) was the predominant factor in the wettest regime, while wet season rainfall (i.e., fuel load) had a large influence on fire extent in the driest regime. Thus, the diverse structural vegetation types associated with SDTFs across a wide range of rainfall regimes would have to be examined at finer regional or local scales to understand the specific environmental drivers of fire. Our results could be extended to investigating fire-climate relationships in STDFs of monsoonal Asia.","This project was funded by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, India (http://www.moef.nic.in) (grant recipient: RS).

The present study has classified forest types of India based on multi-season IRS Resourcesat-2 Advanced Wide Field Sensor (AWiFS) data. The study has characterized 29 land use/land cover classes including 14 forest types and seven scrub types. Hybrid classification approach has been used for the classification of forest types. The classification of vegetation has been carried out based on the ecological rule bases followed by Champion and Seth’s (1968) scheme of forest types in India. The present classification scheme has been compared with the available global and national level land cover products. The natural vegetation cover was estimated to be 29.36 % of total geographical area of India. The predominant forest types of India are tropical dry deciduous and tropical moist deciduous. Of the total forest cover, tropical dry deciduous forests occupy an area of 2,17,713 km2 (34.80 %) followed by 2,07,649 km2 (33.19 %) under tropical moist deciduous forests, 48,295 km2 (7.72 %) under tropical semi-evergreen forests and 47,192 km2 (7.54 %) under tropical wet evergreen forests. The study has brought out a comprehensive vegetation cover and forest type maps based on inputs critical in defining the various categories of vegetation and forest types. This spatially explicit database will be highly useful for the studies related to changes in various forest types, carbon stocks, climate-vegetation modeling and biogeochemical cycles.","The present work has been carried out as part of ISRO’s National Carbon Project.

While the warm phase of ENSO promotes drier and warmer than normal conditions across the region during winter and spring that favor widespread fire activity the following summer, a reduction in VLFs was found during the warm phase of ENSO during summer concurrent with the fire season. This paradox is primarily tied to an anomalous upper level trough over the western U.S. and positive anomalies in integrated water vapor that extend over the northwestern U.S. during summers when the warm phase of ENSO is present. Collectively, these features result in widespread increases in precipitation amount during the summer and a curtailment of periods of critically low‐fuel moistures that can carry wildfire.
Key Points    Warm ENSO summers limit the occurrence of very large wildfires   Increased summer precipitation during warm ENSO over interior northwest US   Summer ENSO‐precipitation relationships strengthened in recent decades","We are appreciative of the constructive feedback of two anonymous reviewers that improve the quality of this manuscript.

TDF covers approximately 146,000 km2 (4.4 %) of India, whereas according to the MODIS fire product about 2200 km2 (1.4 %) burns per year. As studies on wildfire effects upon ESs and biodiversity in Indian TDFs are rare we partly transferred findings from other (dry) forest areas to the environmental situation in India. In India (intentionally lit) wildfires have a very important connection to local livelihoods and the availability of non-wood forest products. Very important adverse long-term effects are the deterioration of forest ecosystems and soil degradation. The potential for TDF to regulate hydrological cycles is expected to be greater in the absence of fire than with it. A general judgment on the effect of fire on biodiversity is difficult as it depends on the community and species involved but a loss of biodiversity under regular burnings is apparent. Consequently, forest managers need sound knowledge regarding the interplay of wildfires and ecosystem behavior in general and more specific knowledge regarding the effects on taxa being considered for conservation efforts. Generally, much more research is needed to understand the trade-offs between the short-term benefits gained from forest provisioning services and long-term adverse effects.","We gratefully acknowledge financial support from the Indo-German Centre for Sustainability funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras.

,pub.1023293440,10.1111/btp.12219,,,,Regeneration of Juvenile Woody Plants after Fire in a Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest of Southern India,"Abstract Woody tree species in seasonally dry tropical forests are known to have traits that help them to recover from recurring disturbances such as fire. Two such traits are resprouting and rapid post‐fire growth. We compared survival and growth rates of regenerating small‐sized individuals (juveniles) of woody tree species after dry season fire (February–March) at eight adjacent pairs of burnt and unburnt transects in a seasonally dry tropical forest in southern India. Juveniles were monitored at 3‐mo intervals between August 2009 and August 2010. High juvenile survivorship (>95%) was observed in both burnt and unburnt areas. Growth rates of juveniles, analyzed at the community level as well as for a few species individually (especially fast‐growing ones), were distinctly higher in burnt areas compared to unburnt areas after a fire event, particularly during the pre‐monsoon season immediately after a fire. Rapid growth by juveniles soon after a fire may be due to lowered competition from other vegetative forms such as grasses, possibly aided by the availability of resources stored belowground.

A high (>50%) proportion of total income is earned in cash. Forest products contribute substantially to total income, with fuelwood as the most important forest product. Proximity to forest is associated with higher forest incomes as expected, but remote villages do not have higher forest incomes or lower cash incomes than less remote villages. Higher off-farm income is associated with better road access and higher income households generally.","AcknowledgmentsWe are grateful to the people in the research villages who warmly welcomed us.

We analyze the importance of ES derived with the help of fires from a tropical dry forest in Andhra Pradesh, India, and conclude that regular burning of the forest is crucial for local livelihoods. We highlight the importance of “fire-driven ecosystem services (FDES)” through investigating 557 rural households' livelihood spread across 14 villages in the Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh. Results show that regular forest burning procures valuable forest products like fuel wood and fodder grass, mainly serving domestic purposes.We discuss the tradeoffs that would result from an alteration of the existing fire scenario with respect to FDES, the likely impact on local economies, and possible management options.

,pub.1011226048,10.5194/bg-11-7305-2014,,,,Biomass burning fuel consumption rates: a field measurement database,"Abstract. Landscape fires show large variability in the amount of biomass or fuel consumed per unit area burned. Fuel consumption (FC) depends on the biomass available to burn and the fraction of the biomass that is actually combusted, and can be combined with estimates of area burned to assess emissions. While burned area can be detected from space and estimates are becoming more reliable due to improved algorithms and sensors, FC is usually modeled or taken selectively from the literature. We compiled the peer-reviewed literature on FC for various biomes and fuel categories to understand FC and its variability better, and to provide a database that can be used to constrain biogeochemical models with fire modules. We compiled in total 77 studies covering 11 biomes including savanna (15 studies, average FC of 4.6 t DM (dry matter) ha−1 with a standard deviation of 2.2), tropical forest (n = 19, FC = 126 ± 77), temperate forest (n = 12, FC = 58 ± 72), boreal forest (n = 16, FC = 35 ± 24), pasture (n = 4, FC = 28 ± 9.3), shifting cultivation (n = 2, FC = 23, with a range of 4.0–43), crop residue (n = 4, FC = 6.5 ± 9.0), chaparral (n = 3, FC = 27 ± 19), tropical peatland (n = 4, FC = 314 ± 196), boreal peatland (n = 2, FC = 42 [42–43]), and tundra (n = 1, FC = 40). Within biomes the regional variability in the number of measurements was sometimes large, with e.g. only three measurement locations in boreal Russia and 35 sites in North America. Substantial regional differences in FC were found within the defined biomes: for example, FC of temperate pine forests in the USA was 37% lower than Australian forests dominated by eucalypt trees. Besides showing the differences between biomes, FC estimates were also grouped into different fuel classes. Our results highlight the large variability in FC, not only between biomes but also within biomes and fuel classes. This implies that substantial uncertainties are associated with using biome-averaged values to represent FC for whole biomes. Comparing the compiled FC values with co-located Global Fire Emissions Database version 3 (GFED3) FC indicates that modeling studies that aim to represent variability in FC also within biomes, still require improvements as they have difficulty in representing the dynamics governing FC.","The workshop that led to this paper was sponsored by the EU FP7 COCOS project.

,pub.1021987225,10.1002/joc.4095,,,,Observed changes in southwest monsoon rainfall over India during 1901–2011,"ABSTRACT The trends and epochal variability of southwest monsoon over the country as a whole and four homogeneous regions are examined using monthly rainfall data (1901–2011) of 640 political districts of India. The district rainfall data is computed from station rainfall data. The same station data is used to analyse the trends in the frequency of rainfall events of different intensities for examining extreme rainfall events. The existence of the multidecadal epochal variability of rainfall is clearly established in the all‐India monsoon rainfall as well as monsoon rainfall over the four homogenous regions. However, over different homogenous regions, the phases of multidecadal variability are found to be different. Principal component analysis brings out Northeast India (NEI) rainfall as more dominant mode for all‐India rainfall. Significant decrease in southwest monsoon rainfall over NEI is observed during the post 1950 period. Decreasing trends are also observed over the monsoon core region during the post‐1950 period. Over these regions, monsoon rainfall has increased significantly during the pre‐1950 period. It has been shown that the decreasing trend in monsoon rainfall during the post 1950 period is the result of multidecadal epochal variability. Geographical regions that experienced significant changes in the frequency of days of rainfall with different intensities are also identified. Significant change/turning points are also detected in the southwest monsoon rainfall. Frequency of moderate rainfall events (5 mm ≤ daily rainfall < 100 mm) decreased significantly during the period 1951–2010 over the monsoon core region of India whereas no significant changes are observed in the frequencies of heavy (daily rainfall >100 mm) or very heavy rain (daily rainfall >150 mm) during the southwest monsoon season. Climatic shift or change point in monsoon rainfall in India is also detected by an established statistical test.",The authors are thankful to Director General of Meteorology of India Meteorological Department (IMD) for his kind permission for the publication of the paper. we also extend our sincere thanks to both the reviewers for their useful suggestions that helped to improve the paper.

We classified fire-affected areas into high, medium, low, and no-fire frequency classes based on government records. Tree species were unevenly distributed across fire frequency categories. Shrub density was maximum in zones of high fire frequency and minimum in low-frequency and no-fire zones. Lower tree density after fires indicated that regeneration of seedlings was reduced by fire. The population structure in the high-frequency zone was comprised of seedlings of size class (A) and saplings of size class (B), represented by Diospyros melanoxylon, Dalbergia sissoo, Shorea robusta and Tectona grandis. Younger and older trees were more abundant for Tectona grandis and Dalbargia sissoo after fire, whereas intermediate-aged trees were more abundant prefire, indicating that the latter age-class was thinned by the catastrophic effect of fire. The major contributing components of fuel load included duff litter and small woody branches and twigs on the forest floor. Total fuel load on the forest floor ranged from 2.2 to 3.38 Mg/ha. The net change in fuel load was positive in high- and medium-frequency fire zones and negative under low- and no-fire zones. Repeated fires, however, slowly reduced stand stability. An ecological approach is needed for fire management to restore the no-fire spatial and temporal structure of moist deciduous forests, their species composition and fuel loads. The management approach should incorporate participatory forest management.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the dominant driver of ongoing climate change and the principal emissions component of wildland fires, while black carbon and other aerosols found in fire emissions contribute to uncertainties in climate projections. Fire emissions research to date has been focused on developing knowledge for air pollution regulatory needs and for assessing global climate impacts. Quantifying wildland fire emissions is difficult because their amount and chemical composition vary greatly among fires depending on the amount and type of combusted fuel, its structure, arrangement, chemistry, and condition, and meteorological conditions during the fire. Prediction of potential future wildland fire emissions requires integration of complex interactions of climate, fire, and vegetation; e.g., inference about the direct effects of climate changes on vegetation (fuel) distribution, amount, and condition; direct effects on fire occurrence, behavior, and effects; and feedbacks of altered fire regimes to vegetation and the climate system. Proposed climate change mitigation strategies include management of forests for increased carbon sequestration, and because wildland fires are a key component of the carbon cycle, fire ecology, behavior, and fire effects must be accounted for in these strategies. An understanding of the complex relationships and feedbacks among climate, fire regimes, and fire emissions is needed to account for the importance of fire in the carbon cycle and wildfire and carbon feedbacks to the global climate system. Fire ecology and fire emissions science is thus a necessary component for adaptively managing landscapes and for accurately assessing the long-term effectiveness of carbon sequestration projects. This overview for a special issue on wildland fire emissions, carbon, and climate summarizes eight companion papers that describe the current state of knowledge, critical knowledge gaps, and importance of fire emissions for global climate and terrestrial carbon cycling.

Higher forest coverage on private and community lands as compared to government land indicates that traditional institutions effectively manage community forests in the region. The present study was conducted through a survey of literature and field work using participatory research tools viz., PRA exercises, group discussions and questionnaire interviews with key informants in northeast India. We categorized the institutions involved in conservation and management of forests into three major types: traditional, quasi-traditional and modern. Traditional institutions with hierarchal structure were found in all states and are intact and functional in the state of Meghalaya. Quasi-traditional institutions, a blend of traditional and modern institutions were prevalent in Nagaland while modern institutions have almost replaced traditional institutions in Mizoram. We recorded at least eleven types of community forests viz., group of village forest, village forest, restricted forest, sacred forest, clan forest, cemetery forest, regeneration forest, bamboo forest, recreation forest, village reserved forest and medicinal plantation in villages of three states. The tribal people, through long-term trial and error experiments, have developed an elaborate, functional and generally democratic system of conservation and management of forests and associated natural ecosystems. Several forest and natural resource management lessons can be learnt from the institutional structure and decision making system of the evolving and dynamic institutions of tribal communities of the region.",,,Journal of Forestry Research,,,Springer Nature,"1007-662X, 1993-0607",,2013-01-11,2013,2013-01-11,2013-03,24,1,179-186,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Tiwari, B.

To address this uncertainty, we conducted a meta-analysis of 139 published soil microbial responses to forest disturbances. These disturbances included abiotic (fire, harvesting, storm) and biotic (insect, pathogen) disturbances. We hypothesized that soil microbial biomass would decline following forest disturbances, but that abiotic disturbances would elicit greater reductions in microbial biomass than biotic disturbances. In support of this hypothesis, across all published studies, disturbances reduced soil microbial biomass by an average of 29.4%. However, microbial responses differed between abiotic and biotic disturbances. Microbial responses were significantly negative following fires, harvest, and storms (48.7, 19.1, and 41.7% reductions in microbial biomass, respectively). In contrast, changes in soil microbial biomass following insect infestation and pathogen-induced tree mortality were non-significant, although biotic disturbances were poorly represented in the literature. When measured separately, fungal and bacterial responses to disturbances mirrored the response of the microbial community as a whole. Changes in microbial abundance following disturbance were significantly positively correlated with changes in microbial respiration. We propose that the differential effect of abiotic and biotic disturbances on microbial biomass may be attributable to differences in soil disruption and organic C removal from forests among disturbance types. Altogether, these results suggest that abiotic forest disturbances may significantly decrease soil microbial abundance, with corresponding consequences for microbial respiration. Further studies are needed on the effect of biotic disturbances on forest soil microbial communities and soil C dynamics.","We thank the authors whose work was included in this meta-analysis.

We used an interview schedule with open-ended questions to solicit Soliga opinion on Lantana camara (lantana) invasion. The Soliga cited three reasons for lantana spread: its prolific fruit output and wide seed dispersal, change in fire management, and historical extraction of grass and bamboo. The Soliga believe that lantana invasion has had negative effects on the ecosystem and their livelihoods. Tabling scientific knowledge with local knowledge has improved our understanding of lantana invasion. The role of existing lantana in colonizing neighboring areas, and the response of native tree communities to lantana were common to both local and scientific sources. However, the Soliga view provides a more nuanced perspective of the lantana-fire relationship (contextually based on lantana density) with fires suppressing lantana when lantana density was low. This is contrary to views held by foresters and biologists, that fires are uniformly detrimental and promote lantana. Our study shows that examining Soliga observations has improved understanding of the invasion process and presents avenues for future lantana management.","Comments from Nitin Rai and three anonymous reviewers greatly improved the quality of this manuscript.

,pub.1018986089,10.1016/j.jaridenv.2011.11.008,,,,Stoichiometric response of dominant grasses to fire and mowing in a semi-arid grassland,"Prescribed burning and mowing are widely used grassland management strategies that potentially alter plant nutritional status, with consequent influences on community structure and ecosystem function. We evaluated the effects of annual burning and mowing on stoichiometric ratios (C:N, C:P, and N:P) of three dominant grasses (Leymus chinensis, Stipa grandis, and Cleistogenes squarrosa) in a semi-arid grassland in northern China. After treatments were applied for two years, both fire and mowing did not affect nutrient concentrations and stoichiometric ratios in green leaves. Fire reduced C:N and C:P in senesced leaves. There was no interaction between fire and mowing to affect stoichiometric ratios in green and senesced leaves. Averaged across the three grass species, fire reduced both N and P resorption efficiency. These results indicate that short-term (2-yr) annual burning and mowing would have limited effects on nutritional status of dominant grass species in this semi-arid grassland. Annual burning would lead to rapid nutrient cycling due to its positive effects on litter quality. These results suggest that prescribed burning may affect above- and below-ground processes of semi-arid grassland through changes in foliar stoichiometric ratios, and that the responses of green and senesced leaves to fire may differ greatly due to changes in nutrient resorption.",AcknowledgementsWe thank the staff of the Inner Mongolia Grassland Ecosystem Research Station (IMGERS) for facilitating this study.

,pub.1038144187,10.1071/wf10032,,,,Influences of forest roads on the spatial pattern of wildfire boundaries,"Although many studies have examined fire ignition and fire spread, the cessation of fire is largely unexplored at a landscape scale. Therefore, we sought to examine the effects of forest roads on fire boundary locations. We analysed six fires within the Wenatchee National Forest in Washington State. Geographic Information System datasets of fire boundaries and environmental variables were obtained from government agencies. Case points were sampled on the fire boundaries, and five matching control points were sampled inside the fire boundary for each case. Matched case–control logistic regression was performed to identify the environmental differences between each case and its set of control points. We found that for four of the fires, fire boundaries were significantly closer to roads than to random control points. Various terrain and vegetation attributes were also correlated with fire boundary locations. In the fires where road effects were significant, they had stronger effects than any of the other environmental constraints on fire boundary locations. These results suggest that road effects on fire cessation should be incorporated more explicitly into landscape-level assessment of wildfire risk and analyses of fuel treatment effectiveness.","We acknowledge support from the Geographic Information Science Center of Excellence, South Dakota State University, for research funding.

We examined the effects of grazing, fire, nitrogen addition, and watering treatments on the nutritional value of grass in a field experiment in the Northern Cape, South Africa. Surprisingly, water addition had no effect on grass quality and biomass in this dry savanna, perhaps because of the above-average rainfall during this study. Nitrogen addition resulted in increased levels of crude protein and biomass, as well as crude protein and gross energy in the early and late wet seasons, respectively. Grazing alone generally had little effect on grass quality, although grass in grazed plots had higher levels of crude protein (CP) in the late wet season and phosphorus (P) in the dry season. Grass biomass was greater in plots protected from grazing. There was more CP and P mass per unit area in fenced (ungrazed) plots during the wet season. Fire interacted with addition of nitrogen and grazing to increase grass quality. Soil nitrogen availability appears to be the most important factor affecting nutrient quality of grasses in the wet season in this semi-arid ecosystem.","AcknowledgementsWe thank the Ernest and Ethel Eriksen Trust (to KRM), Andrew W.

Tropical ecosystems are being converted to agricultural and other land uses at unprecedented rates. Land conversion and maintenance almost always rely on fire and, because of this, fire is now more prevalent in the tropics than anywhere else on Earth. Despite pervasive fire, human settlement and threatened biodiversity, there is little comprehensive information available on fire and its effects in tropical ecosystems. Tropical deforestation, especially in rainforests, has been widely documented for many years. Forests are cut down and allowed to dry before being burned to remove biomass and release nutrients to grow crops. However, fires do not always stop at the borders of cleared forests. Tremendously damaging fires are increasingly spreading into forests that were never evolutionarily prepared for wild fires. The largest fires on the planet in recent decades have occurred in tropical forests and burned millions of hectares in several countries. The numerous ecosystems of the tropics have differing levels of fire resistance, resilience or dependence. At present, there is little appreciation of the seriousness of the wild fire situation in tropical rainforests but there is even less understanding of the role that fire plays in the ecology of many fire adapted tropical ecosystems, such as savannas, grasslands and other forest types.",,,Springer Praxis Books,,,Springer Nature,,,2009,2009,,2009,,,,Closed,Edited Book,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0,0,,,,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1053214666,"30 Agricultural, Veterinary and Food Sciences; 3007 Forestry Sciences; 31 Biological Sciences; 41 Environmental Sciences; 4101 Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation; 4102 Ecological Applications",,,,,,C14 Geography and Environmental Studies,15 Life on Land,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Disturbances such as forest fires are almost annual events in deciduous ecosystems. This study considers variations in the regional fire regime that are related to vegetation type and past human disturbances in a landscape. Using a combination of remote-sensing data and GIS techniques, burnt areas were delineated in three different vegetation types, and various metrics of fire size were estimated. Belt transects were enumerated to assess the vegetation characteristics and fire effects in the landscape. Temporal trends suggest increasingly short fire return intervals (FRIs) across the landscape. In the dry deciduous forest the mean FRI is 6 years, in the tropical dry thorn forest mean FRI is 10 years, and in the tropical moist deciduous forest, mean FRI is 20 years. Tropical dry deciduous forests burned more frequently and had the most fires in any given year as well as the single largest fire (9,900 ha). In the tropical moist deciduous forests, tropical dry thorn forests, and tropical dry deciduous forests, 70%, 56%, and 30% respectively, have not burned during the seven years that were analyzed (1996, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005). Forest fires had significant impacts on species diversity and regeneration in both tropical dry and moist deciduous forests. The short FRI in tropical dry deciduous ecosystems, and increased susceptibility of tropical moist deciduous forests to fires run the risk of continued erosion of species composition, structure, and regeneration within these forests. The current precolonial policy of fire management must give way to a more people-centered policy that acknowledges the use of fire in the landscape if these forests are to be conserved.",,,Springer Praxis Books,Tropical Fire Ecology,,Springer Nature,,,2009,2009,,2009,,,335-354,Closed,Chapter,Research Chapter,"Kodandapani, Narendran; Cochrane, Mark A.; Sukumar, R.","Kodandapani, Narendran (Natural Resources Program, Grays Harbor College, 98520, Aberdeen, WA, USA); Cochrane, Mark A.

From a typical forestry management perspective, timber extraction has always been a priority. However, in the present day context and circumstances, where forest resources are rapidly being degraded in the Asian tropics, the issues involved are more about sustainable forestry for economic benefits (timber and non-timber forest products) to the society, and the conservation of biodiversity through a protected area network. An understanding of the ways in which forest resources are perceived by the forest dwellers on the one hand and by the forest managers on the other is critical for designing strategies for sustainable forestry in the Asian context. There is an increasing realization that today we need to move beyond formal knowledge based on silvicultural issues, and find appropriate linkages with traditional forest knowledge generated over generations by forest dwellers through an experiential process of trial and error. Strengthening linkages between knowledge systems using community participatory management approaches is now seen as critical for sustainable forestry.",,,Forest Ecology and Management,,,Elsevier,"0378-1127, 1872-7042",,2007-09,2007,,2007-09,249,1-2,91-99,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Ramakrishnan, P.S.","Ramakrishnan, P.S.

,pub.1025968099,10.1007/s11027-006-9043-8,,,,Development of the Indonesian and Malaysian Fire Danger Rating Systems,"Forest and land fires in Southeast Asia have many social, economic, and environmental impacts. Tropical peatland fires affect global carbon dynamics, and haze from peat fires has serious negative impacts on the regional economy and human health. To mitigate these fire-related problems, forest and land management agencies require an early warning system to assist them in implementing fire prevention and management plans before fire problems begin. Fire Danger Rating Systems (FDRS) were developed for Indonesia and Malaysia to provide early warning of the potential for serious fire and haze events. In particular, they identify time periods when fires can readily start and spread to become uncontrolled fires and time periods when smoke from smouldering fires will cause an unacceptably high level of haze. The FDRS were developed by adapting components of the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System, including the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) System and the Canadian Forest Fire Behavior Prediction (FBP) System, to local vegetation, climate, and fire regime conditions. A smoke potential indicator was developed using the Drought Code (DC) of the FWI System. Historical air quality analysis showed that the occurrence of severe haze events increased substantially when DC was above 400. An ignition potential indicator was developed using the Fine Fuel Moisture Code (FFMC) of the FWI System. Historical hot spot analysis, grass moisture, and grass ignition studies showed that fire occurrence and the ability for grass fires to start and spread dramatically increased when FFMC > 82. The Initial Spread Index (ISI) of the FWI System was used to develop a difficulty of control indicator for grassland fires, a fuel type that can exhibit high rates of spread and fire intensity. This ISI-based indicator was developed using the grass fuel model of the FBP System, along with a standard grass fuel load and curing level estimated from previous Indonesian studies. Very high fire intensity is expected in grasslands when ISI ≥ 6. To provide early warning, the FDRS identifies classes of increasing fire danger as the FFMC, DC, and ISI approach these key threshold values. The Indonesian FDRS is now operated nationally at the Indonesian Meteorological and Geophysical Agency. The Malaysian Meteorological Service operates the Malaysian FDRS and displays regional outputs for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The FDRS are being used by forestry, agriculture, environment, and fire and rescue agencies to develop and implement fire prevention, detection, and suppression plans.",,,Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change,,,Springer Nature,"1381-2386, 1573-1596",,2006-09-30,2006,2006-09-30,2006-12-15,12,1,165,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Groot, William J. de; Field, Robert D.; Brady, Michael A.; Roswintiarti, Orbita; Mohamad, Maznorizan","Groot, William J. de (Canadian Forest Service, 5320-122 St., T6H 3S5, Edmonton, AB, Canada); Field, Robert D.

Yet El Niño events have not always produced severe droughts. We show that El Niño events with the warmest sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the central equatorial Pacific are more effective in focusing drought-producing subsidence over India than events with the warmest SSTs in the eastern equatorial Pacific. The physical basis for such different impacts is established using atmospheric general circulation model experiments forced with idealized tropical Pacific warmings.

We use the new data set to analyze the global distribution of biomass burning using five different temporal metrics derived from 5 years of high‐quality satellite data acquired with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), on board NASA's Terra satellite. The global distributions of fire pixel density, peak month, season length, and annual periodicity are described. As part of our analysis we show, for the first time, the global distribution of the fire radiative power (FRP), a relatively new remotely sensed quantity. We find that low FRP tends to be associated with areas of cropland burning. In the tropics and much of the subtropics, low FRP is also associated with more heavily forested areas, while higher FRP tends to occur in areas of grassland burning. In boreal forests this trend is reversed, with higher FRP occurring in areas of greater tree cover. We next combine 3 years of Terra and Aqua MODIS observations to show that a strong diurnal fire cycle is prevalent at tropical and subtropical latitudes. We also consider the consistency of the fire time series recorded by the two MODIS instruments, and find the month of peak burning and fire season length observed by each to be in good agreement in most areas. However, significant discrepancies with respect to seasonality do occur in some relatively small areas, and are most pronounced in tropical rain forest.","We thank James Randerson, Eric Kasischke, and an anonymous reviewer for helpful technical suggestions.",,Journal of Geophysical Research,,,American Geophysical Union (AGU),"0148-0227, 2156-2202",,2006-06-10,2006,2006-06-10,2006-06,111,G2,,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Giglio, Louis; Csiszar, Ivan; Justice, Christopher O.","Giglio, Louis (Science Systems & Applications, Inc., Lanham, Maryland, USA; Department of Geography, University of Maryland at College Park, College Park, Maryland, USA); Csiszar, Ivan (Department of Geography, University of Maryland at College Park, College Park, Maryland, USA); Justice, Christopher O.

,pub.1010277187,10.1029/2005gb002547,,,,Emissions from open biomass burning in India: Integrating the inventory approach with high‐resolution Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) active‐fire and land cover data,"Climatological mean estimates of forest burning and crop waste burning based on broad assumptions of the amounts burned have so far been used for India in global inventories. Here we estimate open biomass burning representative of 1995–2000 from forests using burned area and biomass density specific for Indian ecosystems and crop waste burning as a balance between generation and known uses as fuel and fodder. High‐resolution satellite data of active fires and land cover classification from MODIS, both on a scale of 1 km × 1 km, were used to capture the seasonal variability of forest and crop waste burning and in conjunction with field reporting. Correspondence in satellite‐detected fire cycles with harvest season was used to identify types crop waste burned in different regions. The fire season in forest areas was from February to May, and that in croplands varied with geographical location, with peaks in April and October, corresponding to the two major harvest seasons. Spatial variability in amount of forest biomass burned differed from corresponding forest fire counts with biomass burned being largest in central India but fire frequency being highest in the east‐northeast. Unutilized crop waste and MODIS cropland fires were predominant in the western Indo‐Gangetic plain. However, the amounts of unutilized crop waste in the four regions were not strictly proportional to the fire counts. Fraction crop waste burned in fields ranged from 18 to 30% on an all‐India basis and had a strong regional variation. Open burning contributes importantly (about 25%) to black carbon, organic matter, and carbon monoxide emissions, a smaller amount (9–13%) to PM 2.5 (particulate mass in particles smaller than 2.5 micron diameter) and CO 2 emissions, and negligibly to SO 2 emissions (1%).

This review summarizes current knowledge and identifies research gaps focusing particularly on the contribution of research from the Mediterranean Basin, Australia and South Africa over the last two decades or so to the state of knowledge mostly built on research carried out in the USA.Wildfire-induced weathering rates have been reported to be high relative to other weathering processes in fire-prone terrain, possibly as much as one or two magnitudes higher than frost action, with important implications for cosmogenic-isotope dating of the length of rock exposure. Wildfire impacts on soil properties have been a major focus of interest over the last two decades. Fire usually reduces soil aggregate stability and can induce, enhance or destroy soil water repellency depending on the temperature reached and its duration. These changes have implications for infiltration, overland flow and rainsplash detachment. A large proportion of publications concerned with fire impacts have focused on post-fire soil erosion by water, particularly at small scales. These have shown elevated, sometimes extremely large post-fire losses before geomorphological stability is re-established. Soil losses per unit area are generally negatively related to measurement scale reflecting increased opportunities for sediment storage at larger scales. Over the last 20 years, there has been much improvement in the understanding of the forms, causes and timing of debris flow and landslide activity on burnt terrain. Advances in previously largely unreported processes (e.g. bio-transfer of sediment and wind erosion) have also been made.Post-fire hydrological effects have generally also been studied at small rather than large scales, with soil water repellency effects on infiltration and overland flow being a particular focus. At catchment scales, post-fire accentuated peakflow has received more attention than changes in total flow, reflecting easier measurement and the greater hazard posed by the former. Post-fire changes to stream channels occur over both short and long terms with complex feedback mechanisms, though research to date has been limited.Research gaps identified include the need to: (1) develop a fire severity index relevant to soil changes rather than to degree of biomass destruction; (2) isolate the hydrological and geomorphological impacts of fire-induced soil water repellency changes from other important post-fire changes (e.g. litter and vegetation destruction); (3) improve knowledge of the hydrological and geomorphological impacts of wildfire in a wider range of fire-prone terrain types; (4) solve important problems in the determination and analysis of hillslope and catchment sediment yields including poor knowledge about soil losses other than at small spatial and short temporal scales, the lack of a clear measure of the degradational significance of post-fire soil losses, and confusion arising from errors in and lack of scale context for many quoted post-fire soil erosion rates; and (5) increase the research effort into past and potential future hydrological and geomorphological changes resulting from wildfire.","AcknowledgementsWe wish to acknowledge funding from the EU (grants EV4V-0106-C TT, EV5V-0041 and FAIR 6CT98-4027) and NERC (Urgency Grant NER/A/S/2002/00143 and Advanced Fellowship NER/J/S/200200662 {SHD}), which has supported our research into the hydrological and geomorphological effects of wildfire both in the laboratory and in the field in Europe and Australia.

,pub.1061609583,10.1109/tgrs.2005.857328,,,,A Method to Derive Smoke Emission Rates From MODIS Fire Radiative Energy Measurements,"Present methods of emissions estimation from satellite data often use fire pixel counts, even though fire strengths and smoke emission rates can differ by some orders of magnitude between pixels. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) measurements of fire radiative energy (FRE) release rates $R_{\rm fre}$ range from less than 10 to more than 1700 MW per pixel at 1-km resolution. To account for the effect of such a wide range of fire strengths/sizes on smoke emission rates, we have developed direct linear relationships between the MODIS-measured $R_{\rm fre}$ and smoke aerosol emission rates $R_{\rm sa}$ (in kilograms per second), derived by analyzing MODIS measurements of aerosol spatial distribution around the fires with National Center for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research wind fields. We applied the technique to several regions around the world and derived a FRE-based smoke emission coefficient, $C_{e}$ (in kilograms per megajoule), which can be simply multiplied by $R_{\rm fre}$ to calculate $R_{\rm sa}$. This new coefficient $C_{e}$ is an excellent remote sensing parameter expressing the emission strength of different ecosystems and regions. Analysis of all 2002 MODIS data from Terra and Aqua satellites yielded $C_{e}$ values of 0.02–0.06 kg/MJ for boreal regions, 0.04–0.08 kg/MJ for both tropical forests and savanna regions, and 0.08–0.1 kg/MJ for Western Russian regions. These results are probably overestimated by about 50% because of uncertainties in some of the data, parameters, and assumptions involved in the computations. This 50% overestimation is comparable to uncertainties in traditional emission factors. However, our satellite method shows great promise for accuracy improvement, as better knowledge is gained about the sources of the uncertainties.","This work was supported in part by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Applications Directorate (Code YO) under Project 613-23-20: Air Quality Application—Fire Emissions.

We combined information from remote‐sensing imagery and ground maps of all fires in the Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary (MWLS) in the Western Ghats of India over 14 years (1989–2002). These spatial data on fire occurrence were integrated with maps of vegetation types found in the MWLS to examine fire conditions in each. We calculated the average fire‐return interval for each of the vegetation types individually and for the MWLS as a whole. Using vegetation data from the larger Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve and the entire Western Ghats region, we conservatively estimated fire‐frequency information for these larger regions. Because the MWLS does not contain tropical evergreen or montane forests, we were unable to estimate fire conditions in these forest types, which represent 31% of all Western Ghats vegetation cover. For the MWLS, all vegetation types had average fire‐return intervals of <7 years, and the sanctuary as a whole had a fire‐return interval of 3.3 years. Compared with a 13‐year MWLS fire data set from 1909–1921, this represents a threefold increase in fire frequency over the last 80 years. We estimated average fire‐return intervals of roughly 5 years for both the larger Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve and the entire Western Ghats region. Given other recent reports, the estimated fire frequencies for the Western Ghats forests outside protected reserves are conservative. We conclude that the current fire regime of the Western Ghats poses a severe and persistent conservation threat to forests both within and outside protected reserves. Resumen: La aceleración de procesos como la fragmentación de bosques e incendios forestales en paisajes bajo intensa presión humana hace imperativo cuantificar y comprender los efectos de estos procesos sobre la conservación de biodiversidad en estos paisajes. A partir de imágenes de sensores remotos y mapas combinamos información sobre todos los incendios en el Santuario Mudumalai de Vida Silvestre (SMVS) en las Ghats Occidentales a lo largo de 14 años (1989‐2002). Los datos espaciales de la ocurrencia de incendios fueron integrados con mapas de tipos de vegetación del SMVS para examinar las condiciones de fuego en cada uno. Calculamos el intervalo promedio de retorno de fuego individualmente para cada uno de los tipos de vegetación y en conjunto para el SMVS. Utilizando datos de vegetación de la Reserva de la Biosfera Nilgiri y de toda la región de las Ghats Occidentales conservadoramente estimamos información de frecuencia de incendios para estas regiones más extensas. Debido a que el SMVS no contiene bosques tropicales siempre verdes ni montanos, no pudimos estimar las condiciones de fuego en estos tipos de bosque, que representan el 31% de la cobertura vegetal de las Ghats Occidentales. Para el SMVS, todos los tipos de vegetación tuvieron intervalos promedio de retorno de fuego de <7 años, y el santuario como un todo tuvo un intervalo de retorno de fuego de 3.3 años. En comparación con un conjunto de datos sobre fuego de 13 años en el SMVS de 1909‐1921, esto representa un incremento de tres veces en la frecuencia de incendios en los últimos 80 años. Estimamos intervalos promedio de retorno de fuego de aproximadamente 5 años para Reserva de la Biosfera Nilgiri y de toda la región de las Ghats Occidentales. Dados otros reportes recientes, las estimaciones de frecuencias de incendios para bosques en las Ghats Occidentales afuera de reservas protegidas son conservadoras.

,pub.1005494185,10.1890/02-3051,,,,SPECIES COMPOSITION AND FIRE IN A DRY DECIDUOUS FOREST,"A century of annual burning of the understory of otherwise fire‐free deciduous tropical forest in central India has favored seven tree species that produce sprouts or suckers from root buds (root‐sprouters) over 37 species that produce sprouts basally from root crowns (root‐crown resprouters). Experiments over two years demonstrated that low‐intensity ground fires killed seedlings (<1 year old), resulting in a 30% decrease in seedling diversity in burned relative to unburned plots. Overall fire‐related mortality of seedlings was 74% for 17 root‐crown resprouters, compared to 63% for six root‐sprouters. Repeated‐measures ANOVA showed that the number of juvenile (>1 year old) stems of root‐sprouters increased in burned study plots but decreased in plots protected from fire. Annual burning by people favors species that repair damage by root sprouts. Root‐sprouting offers a means of occupying new ground with clonal ramets away from the original parental base. Over time, forests may become dominated by clonal root‐sprouters, in contrast to historical accounts of forest dominated by root‐crown resprouters that do not spread by clonal growth. If this process continues in the Mendha Forest in India, >80% of its tree diversity could be lost within 100–200 years.","We thank W. J. Platt, S. Balcomb, N. Cordeiro, P. Fine, N. Ingle, M.

Two possible reasons emerge from the analyses. A southeastward shift in the Walker circulation anomalies associated with ENSO events may lead to a reduced subsidence over the Indian region, thus favoring normal monsoon conditions. Additionally, increased surface temperatures over Eurasia in winter and spring, which are a part of the midlatitude continental warming trend, may favor the enhanced land-ocean thermal gradient conducive to a strong monsoon. These observations raise the possibility that the Eurasian warming in recent decades helps to sustain the monsoon rainfall at a normal level despite strong ENSO events.",,,Science,,,American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS),"0036-8075, 1095-9203",,1999-06-25,1999,,1999-06-25,284,5423,2156-2159,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Kumar, K.

It was intended to retrospectively look at wet and dry conditions using water balance techniques. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is a probability index that was developed to give a better representation of abnormal wetness and dryness than the Palmer indices. Before the user community will accept the SPI as an alternative to the Palmer indices, a standard method must be developed for computing the index. Standardization is necessary so that all users of the index will have a common basis for both spatial and temporal comparison of index values. If different probability distributions and models are used to describe an observed series of precipitation, then different SPI values may be obtained. This article describes the effect on the SPI values computed from different probability models as well as the effects on dry event characteristics. It is concluded that the Pearson Type III distribution is the “best” universal model, and that the reliability of the SPI is sample size dependent. It is also concluded that because of data limitations, SPIs with time scales longer than 24 months may be unreliable. An internet link is provided that will allow users to access Fortran 77 source code for calculating the SPI.",,,JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association,,,Wiley,"1093-474X, 1752-1688",,1999-04,1999,2007-06-08,1999-04,35,2,311-322,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Guttman, Nathaniel B.","Guttman, Nathaniel B.

The pine is a light-demanding, fire-adapted but fire-promoting species. The surface fires averaging once every 2 or 3 years cause substantial nitrogen losses in pine forest. Pine forest naturally occurs on the driest and rockiest slopes, and has spread greatly under the influence of cutting and burning, replacing oak forest in vast areas. Oak forest is non-inflammable but has suffered a good deal from fire spreading from the pine forest1. Deforestation has also accounted for loss of oak forest1–3, and although the replacement of oak by pine is common1,2, the reverse has not been observed.

In order for the system to be more effective, communities living near forests or national parks can send warning messages through the same system to the responsible authority using their mobile handsets once they witness wildfire or illegal activities. For the system to be fully functional, the only requirement is the availability of cellular network coverage in forests or national parks to enable short message services to take place. The system prototype is developed using Arduino microcontroller, several sensors to detect temperature, relative humidity and smoke as well as wireless network connection modules.

Fires emit significant amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere. Studies have found that greenhouse gas emissions from forest fires strongly influence climate change. In the present study, the spatio-temporal patterns of forest fires were examined from 2004 to 2013 in Similipal Biosphere Reserve, Eastern Ghats of India. This study focuses on estimation of carbon emissions from forest fires based on IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. The total area affected under forest fire has been estimated as 23.7% in 2004, 11.5% in 2005, 24.8% in 2006, 23.5% in 2007 and 18% in 2008, 27.9% in 2009, 16.4% in 2010, 16.3% km2 in 2011, 27% km2 in 2012 and 14% in 2013. CO2 emissions were estimated for tropical vegetation types i.e. semi-evergreen, moist deciduous, dry deciduous, high-level Sal, low-level Sal forest, scrub, savannah and grasslands. The total carbon emissions from forest fires in Similipal vary from 0.93 to 1.58 CO2Tgyr−1 during the study. The mean annual rate of carbon emissions was observed to be 1.26 CO2Tgyr−1. Similarly, other trace gases like CO, CH4, N2O and NOx has also been calculated. This study is helpful in formulating conservation plans and thus helps in mitigating the impact of climate change. Considering the global significance of Biosphere Reserves in the conservation of biodiversity, more scientific studies are required to understand the impact of ongoing fire regimes.","AcknowledgmentsThe work has been carried out under national project “Inventorization and monitoring of biosphere reserves in India using remote sensing and GIS technology,” supported by the Ministry of Environment Forests and Climate Change (5/2011), Government of India.

It also addresses some of the shortcomings identified in existing literature by estimating the value of several intangible benefits, and disservices of forests ignored in most valuation studies, as well as the added value from intact forests as compared to from alternative landscapes. Using primary and secondary data, and economic valuation techniques the study shows that the total net benefits provided by the Nagarhole national park in Karnataka, India are considerable. The added value of benefits from the park is also higher as compared to from alternative landscapes considering just three ecosystem services. If these are factored in decision making it could strengthen the economic case for conserving forests in tropical countries such as India where there is immense pressure to divert forests for meeting development needs.","AcknowledgmentThis paper was initiated when the first author was a Visiting Professor in the department of Land Economy, University of Cambridge in 2014.

We examined if the globally widespread seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) can be placed as a single entity in this framework by analyzing environmental influences on fire extent in a structurally diverse SDTF landscape in the Western Ghats of southern India, representative of similar forests in monsoonal south and southeast Asia. We used logistic regression to model fire extent with factors that represent fuel load and fuel moisture at two levels-the overall landscape and within four defined moisture regimes (between 700 and1700 mm yr-1)-using a dataset of area burnt and seasonal rainfall from 1990 to 2010. The landscape scale model showed that the extent of fire in a given year within this SDTF is dependent on the combined interaction of seasonal rainfall and extent burnt the previous year. Within individual moisture regimes the relative contribution of these factors to the annual extent burnt varied-early dry season rainfall (i.e., fuel moisture) was the predominant factor in the wettest regime, while wet season rainfall (i.e., fuel load) had a large influence on fire extent in the driest regime. Thus, the diverse structural vegetation types associated with SDTFs across a wide range of rainfall regimes would have to be examined at finer regional or local scales to understand the specific environmental drivers of fire. Our results could be extended to investigating fire-climate relationships in STDFs of monsoonal Asia.","This project was funded by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, India (http://www.moef.nic.in) (grant recipient: RS).

The present study has classified forest types of India based on multi-season IRS Resourcesat-2 Advanced Wide Field Sensor (AWiFS) data. The study has characterized 29 land use/land cover classes including 14 forest types and seven scrub types. Hybrid classification approach has been used for the classification of forest types. The classification of vegetation has been carried out based on the ecological rule bases followed by Champion and Seth’s (1968) scheme of forest types in India. The present classification scheme has been compared with the available global and national level land cover products. The natural vegetation cover was estimated to be 29.36 % of total geographical area of India. The predominant forest types of India are tropical dry deciduous and tropical moist deciduous. Of the total forest cover, tropical dry deciduous forests occupy an area of 2,17,713 km2 (34.80 %) followed by 2,07,649 km2 (33.19 %) under tropical moist deciduous forests, 48,295 km2 (7.72 %) under tropical semi-evergreen forests and 47,192 km2 (7.54 %) under tropical wet evergreen forests. The study has brought out a comprehensive vegetation cover and forest type maps based on inputs critical in defining the various categories of vegetation and forest types. This spatially explicit database will be highly useful for the studies related to changes in various forest types, carbon stocks, climate-vegetation modeling and biogeochemical cycles.","The present work has been carried out as part of ISRO’s National Carbon Project.

,pub.1035927257,10.1002/2015gl063428,,,,Seasonal reversal of the influence of El Niño–Southern Oscillation on very large wildfire occurrence in the interior northwestern United States,"Abstract Satellite‐mapped fire perimeters and the multivariate El Niño–Southern Oscillation index were used to examine the impact of concurrent El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phase on very large fire (VLF) occurrences over the intermountain northwestern United States (U.S.) from 1984 to 2012. While the warm phase of ENSO promotes drier and warmer than normal conditions across the region during winter and spring that favor widespread fire activity the following summer, a reduction in VLFs was found during the warm phase of ENSO during summer concurrent with the fire season. This paradox is primarily tied to an anomalous upper level trough over the western U.S. and positive anomalies in integrated water vapor that extend over the northwestern U.S. during summers when the warm phase of ENSO is present. Collectively, these features result in widespread increases in precipitation amount during the summer and a curtailment of periods of critically low‐fuel moistures that can carry wildfire.
Key Points    Warm ENSO summers limit the occurrence of very large wildfires   Increased summer precipitation during warm ENSO over interior northwest US   Summer ENSO‐precipitation relationships strengthened in recent decades","We are appreciative of the constructive feedback of two anonymous reviewers that improve the quality of this manuscript.

TDF covers approximately 146,000 km2 (4.4 %) of India, whereas according to the MODIS fire product about 2200 km2 (1.4 %) burns per year. As studies on wildfire effects upon ESs and biodiversity in Indian TDFs are rare we partly transferred findings from other (dry) forest areas to the environmental situation in India. In India (intentionally lit) wildfires have a very important connection to local livelihoods and the availability of non-wood forest products. Very important adverse long-term effects are the deterioration of forest ecosystems and soil degradation. The potential for TDF to regulate hydrological cycles is expected to be greater in the absence of fire than with it. A general judgment on the effect of fire on biodiversity is difficult as it depends on the community and species involved but a loss of biodiversity under regular burnings is apparent. Consequently, forest managers need sound knowledge regarding the interplay of wildfires and ecosystem behavior in general and more specific knowledge regarding the effects on taxa being considered for conservation efforts. Generally, much more research is needed to understand the trade-offs between the short-term benefits gained from forest provisioning services and long-term adverse effects.","We gratefully acknowledge financial support from the Indo-German Centre for Sustainability funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras.

Two such traits are resprouting and rapid post‐fire growth. We compared survival and growth rates of regenerating small‐sized individuals (juveniles) of woody tree species after dry season fire (February–March) at eight adjacent pairs of burnt and unburnt transects in a seasonally dry tropical forest in southern India. Juveniles were monitored at 3‐mo intervals between August 2009 and August 2010. High juvenile survivorship (>95%) was observed in both burnt and unburnt areas. Growth rates of juveniles, analyzed at the community level as well as for a few species individually (especially fast‐growing ones), were distinctly higher in burnt areas compared to unburnt areas after a fire event, particularly during the pre‐monsoon season immediately after a fire. Rapid growth by juveniles soon after a fire may be due to lowered competition from other vegetative forms such as grasses, possibly aided by the availability of resources stored belowground. Such an adaptation would allow a juvenile bank to be retained in the understory of a dry forest, from where individuals can grow to a possible fire‐tolerant size during favorable conditions.","We thank Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, for funding this study; Tamil Nadu Forest Department for research permissions; field assistants M.

Results show that regular forest burning procures valuable forest products like fuel wood and fodder grass, mainly serving domestic purposes.We discuss the tradeoffs that would result from an alteration of the existing fire scenario with respect to FDES, the likely impact on local economies, and possible management options.

,pub.1011226048,10.5194/bg-11-7305-2014,,,,Biomass burning fuel consumption rates: a field measurement database,"Abstract. Landscape fires show large variability in the amount of biomass or fuel consumed per unit area burned. Fuel consumption (FC) depends on the biomass available to burn and the fraction of the biomass that is actually combusted, and can be combined with estimates of area burned to assess emissions. While burned area can be detected from space and estimates are becoming more reliable due to improved algorithms and sensors, FC is usually modeled or taken selectively from the literature. We compiled the peer-reviewed literature on FC for various biomes and fuel categories to understand FC and its variability better, and to provide a database that can be used to constrain biogeochemical models with fire modules. We compiled in total 77 studies covering 11 biomes including savanna (15 studies, average FC of 4.6 t DM (dry matter) ha−1 with a standard deviation of 2.2), tropical forest (n = 19, FC = 126 ± 77), temperate forest (n = 12, FC = 58 ± 72), boreal forest (n = 16, FC = 35 ± 24), pasture (n = 4, FC = 28 ± 9.3), shifting cultivation (n = 2, FC = 23, with a range of 4.0–43), crop residue (n = 4, FC = 6.5 ± 9.0), chaparral (n = 3, FC = 27 ± 19), tropical peatland (n = 4, FC = 314 ± 196), boreal peatland (n = 2, FC = 42 [42–43]), and tundra (n = 1, FC = 40). Within biomes the regional variability in the number of measurements was sometimes large, with e.g. only three measurement locations in boreal Russia and 35 sites in North America. Substantial regional differences in FC were found within the defined biomes: for example, FC of temperate pine forests in the USA was 37% lower than Australian forests dominated by eucalypt trees. Besides showing the differences between biomes, FC estimates were also grouped into different fuel classes. Our results highlight the large variability in FC, not only between biomes but also within biomes and fuel classes. This implies that substantial uncertainties are associated with using biome-averaged values to represent FC for whole biomes. Comparing the compiled FC values with co-located Global Fire Emissions Database version 3 (GFED3) FC indicates that modeling studies that aim to represent variability in FC also within biomes, still require improvements as they have difficulty in representing the dynamics governing FC.","The workshop that led to this paper was sponsored by the EU FP7 COCOS project.

,pub.1021987225,10.1002/joc.4095,,,,Observed changes in southwest monsoon rainfall over India during 1901–2011,"ABSTRACT The trends and epochal variability of southwest monsoon over the country as a whole and four homogeneous regions are examined using monthly rainfall data (1901–2011) of 640 political districts of India. The district rainfall data is computed from station rainfall data. The same station data is used to analyse the trends in the frequency of rainfall events of different intensities for examining extreme rainfall events. The existence of the multidecadal epochal variability of rainfall is clearly established in the all‐India monsoon rainfall as well as monsoon rainfall over the four homogenous regions. However, over different homogenous regions, the phases of multidecadal variability are found to be different. Principal component analysis brings out Northeast India (NEI) rainfall as more dominant mode for all‐India rainfall. Significant decrease in southwest monsoon rainfall over NEI is observed during the post 1950 period. Decreasing trends are also observed over the monsoon core region during the post‐1950 period. Over these regions, monsoon rainfall has increased significantly during the pre‐1950 period. It has been shown that the decreasing trend in monsoon rainfall during the post 1950 period is the result of multidecadal epochal variability. Geographical regions that experienced significant changes in the frequency of days of rainfall with different intensities are also identified. Significant change/turning points are also detected in the southwest monsoon rainfall. Frequency of moderate rainfall events (5 mm ≤ daily rainfall < 100 mm) decreased significantly during the period 1951–2010 over the monsoon core region of India whereas no significant changes are observed in the frequencies of heavy (daily rainfall >100 mm) or very heavy rain (daily rainfall >150 mm) during the southwest monsoon season. Climatic shift or change point in monsoon rainfall in India is also detected by an established statistical test.",The authors are thankful to Director General of Meteorology of India Meteorological Department (IMD) for his kind permission for the publication of the paper. we also extend our sincere thanks to both the reviewers for their useful suggestions that helped to improve the paper.

We classified fire-affected areas into high, medium, low, and no-fire frequency classes based on government records. Tree species were unevenly distributed across fire frequency categories. Shrub density was maximum in zones of high fire frequency and minimum in low-frequency and no-fire zones. Lower tree density after fires indicated that regeneration of seedlings was reduced by fire. The population structure in the high-frequency zone was comprised of seedlings of size class (A) and saplings of size class (B), represented by Diospyros melanoxylon, Dalbergia sissoo, Shorea robusta and Tectona grandis. Younger and older trees were more abundant for Tectona grandis and Dalbargia sissoo after fire, whereas intermediate-aged trees were more abundant prefire, indicating that the latter age-class was thinned by the catastrophic effect of fire. The major contributing components of fuel load included duff litter and small woody branches and twigs on the forest floor. Total fuel load on the forest floor ranged from 2.2 to 3.38 Mg/ha. The net change in fuel load was positive in high- and medium-frequency fire zones and negative under low- and no-fire zones. Repeated fires, however, slowly reduced stand stability. An ecological approach is needed for fire management to restore the no-fire spatial and temporal structure of moist deciduous forests, their species composition and fuel loads. The management approach should incorporate participatory forest management. Use of controlled fire, fire lines and mapping of fire prone areas are fundamental principles of fire hazard reduction in these areas.",,,Journal of Forestry Research,,,Springer Nature,"1007-662X, 1993-0607",,2014-05-07,2014,2014-05-07,2014-12,25,4,857-866,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Kittur, B.

,pub.1009195932,10.1016/j.foreco.2013.12.014,,,,"Wildland fire emissions, carbon, and climate: Science overview and knowledge needs","Wildland fires have influenced the global carbon cycle for ∼420millionyears of Earth history, interacting with climate to define vegetation characteristics and distributions, trigger abrupt ecosystem shifts, and move carbon among terrestrial and atmospheric pools. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the dominant driver of ongoing climate change and the principal emissions component of wildland fires, while black carbon and other aerosols found in fire emissions contribute to uncertainties in climate projections. Fire emissions research to date has been focused on developing knowledge for air pollution regulatory needs and for assessing global climate impacts. Quantifying wildland fire emissions is difficult because their amount and chemical composition vary greatly among fires depending on the amount and type of combusted fuel, its structure, arrangement, chemistry, and condition, and meteorological conditions during the fire. Prediction of potential future wildland fire emissions requires integration of complex interactions of climate, fire, and vegetation; e.g., inference about the direct effects of climate changes on vegetation (fuel) distribution, amount, and condition; direct effects on fire occurrence, behavior, and effects; and feedbacks of altered fire regimes to vegetation and the climate system. Proposed climate change mitigation strategies include management of forests for increased carbon sequestration, and because wildland fires are a key component of the carbon cycle, fire ecology, behavior, and fire effects must be accounted for in these strategies. An understanding of the complex relationships and feedbacks among climate, fire regimes, and fire emissions is needed to account for the importance of fire in the carbon cycle and wildfire and carbon feedbacks to the global climate system. Fire ecology and fire emissions science is thus a necessary component for adaptively managing landscapes and for accurately assessing the long-term effectiveness of carbon sequestration projects. This overview for a special issue on wildland fire emissions, carbon, and climate summarizes eight companion papers that describe the current state of knowledge, critical knowledge gaps, and importance of fire emissions for global climate and terrestrial carbon cycling.

Higher forest coverage on private and community lands as compared to government land indicates that traditional institutions effectively manage community forests in the region. The present study was conducted through a survey of literature and field work using participatory research tools viz., PRA exercises, group discussions and questionnaire interviews with key informants in northeast India. We categorized the institutions involved in conservation and management of forests into three major types: traditional, quasi-traditional and modern. Traditional institutions with hierarchal structure were found in all states and are intact and functional in the state of Meghalaya. Quasi-traditional institutions, a blend of traditional and modern institutions were prevalent in Nagaland while modern institutions have almost replaced traditional institutions in Mizoram. We recorded at least eleven types of community forests viz., group of village forest, village forest, restricted forest, sacred forest, clan forest, cemetery forest, regeneration forest, bamboo forest, recreation forest, village reserved forest and medicinal plantation in villages of three states. The tribal people, through long-term trial and error experiments, have developed an elaborate, functional and generally democratic system of conservation and management of forests and associated natural ecosystems.

To address this uncertainty, we conducted a meta-analysis of 139 published soil microbial responses to forest disturbances. These disturbances included abiotic (fire, harvesting, storm) and biotic (insect, pathogen) disturbances. We hypothesized that soil microbial biomass would decline following forest disturbances, but that abiotic disturbances would elicit greater reductions in microbial biomass than biotic disturbances. In support of this hypothesis, across all published studies, disturbances reduced soil microbial biomass by an average of 29.4%. However, microbial responses differed between abiotic and biotic disturbances. Microbial responses were significantly negative following fires, harvest, and storms (48.7, 19.1, and 41.7% reductions in microbial biomass, respectively). In contrast, changes in soil microbial biomass following insect infestation and pathogen-induced tree mortality were non-significant, although biotic disturbances were poorly represented in the literature. When measured separately, fungal and bacterial responses to disturbances mirrored the response of the microbial community as a whole. Changes in microbial abundance following disturbance were significantly positively correlated with changes in microbial respiration. We propose that the differential effect of abiotic and biotic disturbances on microbial biomass may be attributable to differences in soil disruption and organic C removal from forests among disturbance types. Altogether, these results suggest that abiotic forest disturbances may significantly decrease soil microbial abundance, with corresponding consequences for microbial respiration. Further studies are needed on the effect of biotic disturbances on forest soil microbial communities and soil C dynamics.","We thank the authors whose work was included in this meta-analysis.

We used an interview schedule with open-ended questions to solicit Soliga opinion on Lantana camara (lantana) invasion. The Soliga cited three reasons for lantana spread: its prolific fruit output and wide seed dispersal, change in fire management, and historical extraction of grass and bamboo. The Soliga believe that lantana invasion has had negative effects on the ecosystem and their livelihoods. Tabling scientific knowledge with local knowledge has improved our understanding of lantana invasion. The role of existing lantana in colonizing neighboring areas, and the response of native tree communities to lantana were common to both local and scientific sources. However, the Soliga view provides a more nuanced perspective of the lantana-fire relationship (contextually based on lantana density) with fires suppressing lantana when lantana density was low. This is contrary to views held by foresters and biologists, that fires are uniformly detrimental and promote lantana. Our study shows that examining Soliga observations has improved understanding of the invasion process and presents avenues for future lantana management.","Comments from Nitin Rai and three anonymous reviewers greatly improved the quality of this manuscript.

,pub.1018986089,10.1016/j.jaridenv.2011.11.008,,,,Stoichiometric response of dominant grasses to fire and mowing in a semi-arid grassland,"Prescribed burning and mowing are widely used grassland management strategies that potentially alter plant nutritional status, with consequent influences on community structure and ecosystem function. We evaluated the effects of annual burning and mowing on stoichiometric ratios (C:N, C:P, and N:P) of three dominant grasses (Leymus chinensis, Stipa grandis, and Cleistogenes squarrosa) in a semi-arid grassland in northern China. After treatments were applied for two years, both fire and mowing did not affect nutrient concentrations and stoichiometric ratios in green leaves. Fire reduced C:N and C:P in senesced leaves. There was no interaction between fire and mowing to affect stoichiometric ratios in green and senesced leaves. Averaged across the three grass species, fire reduced both N and P resorption efficiency. These results indicate that short-term (2-yr) annual burning and mowing would have limited effects on nutritional status of dominant grass species in this semi-arid grassland. Annual burning would lead to rapid nutrient cycling due to its positive effects on litter quality. These results suggest that prescribed burning may affect above- and below-ground processes of semi-arid grassland through changes in foliar stoichiometric ratios, and that the responses of green and senesced leaves to fire may differ greatly due to changes in nutrient resorption.",AcknowledgementsWe thank the staff of the Inner Mongolia Grassland Ecosystem Research Station (IMGERS) for facilitating this study.

Therefore, we sought to examine the effects of forest roads on fire boundary locations. We analysed six fires within the Wenatchee National Forest in Washington State. Geographic Information System datasets of fire boundaries and environmental variables were obtained from government agencies. Case points were sampled on the fire boundaries, and five matching control points were sampled inside the fire boundary for each case. Matched case–control logistic regression was performed to identify the environmental differences between each case and its set of control points. We found that for four of the fires, fire boundaries were significantly closer to roads than to random control points. Various terrain and vegetation attributes were also correlated with fire boundary locations. In the fires where road effects were significant, they had stronger effects than any of the other environmental constraints on fire boundary locations. These results suggest that road effects on fire cessation should be incorporated more explicitly into landscape-level assessment of wildfire risk and analyses of fuel treatment effectiveness.","We acknowledge support from the Geographic Information Science Center of Excellence, South Dakota State University, for research funding.

Known as FIRESCOPE (Firefighting Resources of California Organized for Potential Emergencies), the complex development process produced these two major management systems that are now central to the Department of Homeland Security’s National Incident Management System (NIMS). Despite the prominence of NIMS, very little information is widely available regarding the original research and development of ICS and MACS. This paper explores the extensive product development and consensus process used to create ICS and MACS, plus the implementation process that propagated these landmark systems that continue to expand in prominence for incident management and coordination during emergencies and disasters.

We examined the effects of grazing, fire, nitrogen addition, and watering treatments on the nutritional value of grass in a field experiment in the Northern Cape, South Africa. Surprisingly, water addition had no effect on grass quality and biomass in this dry savanna, perhaps because of the above-average rainfall during this study. Nitrogen addition resulted in increased levels of crude protein and biomass, as well as crude protein and gross energy in the early and late wet seasons, respectively. Grazing alone generally had little effect on grass quality, although grass in grazed plots had higher levels of crude protein (CP) in the late wet season and phosphorus (P) in the dry season. Grass biomass was greater in plots protected from grazing. There was more CP and P mass per unit area in fenced (ungrazed) plots during the wet season. Fire interacted with addition of nitrogen and grazing to increase grass quality. Soil nitrogen availability appears to be the most important factor affecting nutrient quality of grasses in the wet season in this semi-arid ecosystem.","AcknowledgementsWe thank the Ernest and Ethel Eriksen Trust (to KRM), Andrew W.

Tropical ecosystems are being converted to agricultural and other land uses at unprecedented rates. Land conversion and maintenance almost always rely on fire and, because of this, fire is now more prevalent in the tropics than anywhere else on Earth. Despite pervasive fire, human settlement and threatened biodiversity, there is little comprehensive information available on fire and its effects in tropical ecosystems. Tropical deforestation, especially in rainforests, has been widely documented for many years. Forests are cut down and allowed to dry before being burned to remove biomass and release nutrients to grow crops. However, fires do not always stop at the borders of cleared forests. Tremendously damaging fires are increasingly spreading into forests that were never evolutionarily prepared for wild fires. The largest fires on the planet in recent decades have occurred in tropical forests and burned millions of hectares in several countries. The numerous ecosystems of the tropics have differing levels of fire resistance, resilience or dependence. At present, there is little appreciation of the seriousness of the wild fire situation in tropical rainforests but there is even less understanding of the role that fire plays in the ecology of many fire adapted tropical ecosystems, such as savannas, grasslands and other forest types.",,,Springer Praxis Books,,,Springer Nature,,,2009,2009,,2009,,,,Closed,Edited Book,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0,0,,,,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1053214666,"30 Agricultural, Veterinary and Food Sciences; 3007 Forestry Sciences; 31 Biological Sciences; 41 Environmental Sciences; 4101 Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation; 4102 Ecological Applications",,,,,,C14 Geography and Environmental Studies,15 Life on Land,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Disturbances such as forest fires are almost annual events in deciduous ecosystems. This study considers variations in the regional fire regime that are related to vegetation type and past human disturbances in a landscape. Using a combination of remote-sensing data and GIS techniques, burnt areas were delineated in three different vegetation types, and various metrics of fire size were estimated. Belt transects were enumerated to assess the vegetation characteristics and fire effects in the landscape. Temporal trends suggest increasingly short fire return intervals (FRIs) across the landscape. In the dry deciduous forest the mean FRI is 6 years, in the tropical dry thorn forest mean FRI is 10 years, and in the tropical moist deciduous forest, mean FRI is 20 years. Tropical dry deciduous forests burned more frequently and had the most fires in any given year as well as the single largest fire (9,900 ha). In the tropical moist deciduous forests, tropical dry thorn forests, and tropical dry deciduous forests, 70%, 56%, and 30% respectively, have not burned during the seven years that were analyzed (1996, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005). Forest fires had significant impacts on species diversity and regeneration in both tropical dry and moist deciduous forests. The short FRI in tropical dry deciduous ecosystems, and increased susceptibility of tropical moist deciduous forests to fires run the risk of continued erosion of species composition, structure, and regeneration within these forests. The current precolonial policy of fire management must give way to a more people-centered policy that acknowledges the use of fire in the landscape if these forests are to be conserved.",,,Springer Praxis Books,Tropical Fire Ecology,,Springer Nature,,,2009,2009,,2009,,,335-354,Closed,Chapter,Research Chapter,"Kodandapani, Narendran; Cochrane, Mark A.; Sukumar, R.","Kodandapani, Narendran (Natural Resources Program, Grays Harbor College, 98520, Aberdeen, WA, USA); Cochrane, Mark A.

From a typical forestry management perspective, timber extraction has always been a priority. However, in the present day context and circumstances, where forest resources are rapidly being degraded in the Asian tropics, the issues involved are more about sustainable forestry for economic benefits (timber and non-timber forest products) to the society, and the conservation of biodiversity through a protected area network. An understanding of the ways in which forest resources are perceived by the forest dwellers on the one hand and by the forest managers on the other is critical for designing strategies for sustainable forestry in the Asian context. There is an increasing realization that today we need to move beyond formal knowledge based on silvicultural issues, and find appropriate linkages with traditional forest knowledge generated over generations by forest dwellers through an experiential process of trial and error. Strengthening linkages between knowledge systems using community participatory management approaches is now seen as critical for sustainable forestry.",,,Forest Ecology and Management,,,Elsevier,"0378-1127, 1872-7042",,2007-09,2007,,2007-09,249,1-2,91-99,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Ramakrishnan, P.S.","Ramakrishnan, P.S.

,pub.1025968099,10.1007/s11027-006-9043-8,,,,Development of the Indonesian and Malaysian Fire Danger Rating Systems,"Forest and land fires in Southeast Asia have many social, economic, and environmental impacts. Tropical peatland fires affect global carbon dynamics, and haze from peat fires has serious negative impacts on the regional economy and human health. To mitigate these fire-related problems, forest and land management agencies require an early warning system to assist them in implementing fire prevention and management plans before fire problems begin. Fire Danger Rating Systems (FDRS) were developed for Indonesia and Malaysia to provide early warning of the potential for serious fire and haze events. In particular, they identify time periods when fires can readily start and spread to become uncontrolled fires and time periods when smoke from smouldering fires will cause an unacceptably high level of haze. The FDRS were developed by adapting components of the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System, including the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) System and the Canadian Forest Fire Behavior Prediction (FBP) System, to local vegetation, climate, and fire regime conditions. A smoke potential indicator was developed using the Drought Code (DC) of the FWI System. Historical air quality analysis showed that the occurrence of severe haze events increased substantially when DC was above 400. An ignition potential indicator was developed using the Fine Fuel Moisture Code (FFMC) of the FWI System. Historical hot spot analysis, grass moisture, and grass ignition studies showed that fire occurrence and the ability for grass fires to start and spread dramatically increased when FFMC > 82. The Initial Spread Index (ISI) of the FWI System was used to develop a difficulty of control indicator for grassland fires, a fuel type that can exhibit high rates of spread and fire intensity. This ISI-based indicator was developed using the grass fuel model of the FBP System, along with a standard grass fuel load and curing level estimated from previous Indonesian studies. Very high fire intensity is expected in grasslands when ISI ≥ 6. To provide early warning, the FDRS identifies classes of increasing fire danger as the FFMC, DC, and ISI approach these key threshold values. The Indonesian FDRS is now operated nationally at the Indonesian Meteorological and Geophysical Agency. The Malaysian Meteorological Service operates the Malaysian FDRS and displays regional outputs for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The FDRS are being used by forestry, agriculture, environment, and fire and rescue agencies to develop and implement fire prevention, detection, and suppression plans.",,,Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change,,,Springer Nature,"1381-2386, 1573-1596",,2006-09-30,2006,2006-09-30,2006-12-15,12,1,165,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Groot, William J. de; Field, Robert D.; Brady, Michael A.; Roswintiarti, Orbita; Mohamad, Maznorizan","Groot, William J. de (Canadian Forest Service, 5320-122 St., T6H 3S5, Edmonton, AB, Canada); Field, Robert D.

Yet El Niño events have not always produced severe droughts. We show that El Niño events with the warmest sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the central equatorial Pacific are more effective in focusing drought-producing subsidence over India than events with the warmest SSTs in the eastern equatorial Pacific. The physical basis for such different impacts is established using atmospheric general circulation model experiments forced with idealized tropical Pacific warmings.

We use the new data set to analyze the global distribution of biomass burning using five different temporal metrics derived from 5 years of high‐quality satellite data acquired with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), on board NASA's Terra satellite. The global distributions of fire pixel density, peak month, season length, and annual periodicity are described. As part of our analysis we show, for the first time, the global distribution of the fire radiative power (FRP), a relatively new remotely sensed quantity. We find that low FRP tends to be associated with areas of cropland burning. In the tropics and much of the subtropics, low FRP is also associated with more heavily forested areas, while higher FRP tends to occur in areas of grassland burning. In boreal forests this trend is reversed, with higher FRP occurring in areas of greater tree cover. We next combine 3 years of Terra and Aqua MODIS observations to show that a strong diurnal fire cycle is prevalent at tropical and subtropical latitudes. We also consider the consistency of the fire time series recorded by the two MODIS instruments, and find the month of peak burning and fire season length observed by each to be in good agreement in most areas. However, significant discrepancies with respect to seasonality do occur in some relatively small areas, and are most pronounced in tropical rain forest.","We thank James Randerson, Eric Kasischke, and an anonymous reviewer for helpful technical suggestions.",,Journal of Geophysical Research,,,American Geophysical Union (AGU),"0148-0227, 2156-2202",,2006-06-10,2006,2006-06-10,2006-06,111,G2,,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Giglio, Louis; Csiszar, Ivan; Justice, Christopher O.","Giglio, Louis (Science Systems & Applications, Inc., Lanham, Maryland, USA; Department of Geography, University of Maryland at College Park, College Park, Maryland, USA); Csiszar, Ivan (Department of Geography, University of Maryland at College Park, College Park, Maryland, USA); Justice, Christopher O.

Here we estimate open biomass burning representative of 1995–2000 from forests using burned area and biomass density specific for Indian ecosystems and crop waste burning as a balance between generation and known uses as fuel and fodder. High‐resolution satellite data of active fires and land cover classification from MODIS, both on a scale of 1 km × 1 km, were used to capture the seasonal variability of forest and crop waste burning and in conjunction with field reporting. Correspondence in satellite‐detected fire cycles with harvest season was used to identify types crop waste burned in different regions. The fire season in forest areas was from February to May, and that in croplands varied with geographical location, with peaks in April and October, corresponding to the two major harvest seasons. Spatial variability in amount of forest biomass burned differed from corresponding forest fire counts with biomass burned being largest in central India but fire frequency being highest in the east‐northeast. Unutilized crop waste and MODIS cropland fires were predominant in the western Indo‐Gangetic plain. However, the amounts of unutilized crop waste in the four regions were not strictly proportional to the fire counts. Fraction crop waste burned in fields ranged from 18 to 30% on an all‐India basis and had a strong regional variation. Open burning contributes importantly (about 25%) to black carbon, organic matter, and carbon monoxide emissions, a smaller amount (9–13%) to PM 2.5 (particulate mass in particles smaller than 2.5 micron diameter) and CO 2 emissions, and negligibly to SO 2 emissions (1%).

,pub.1003088704,10.1016/j.earscirev.2005.10.006,,,,Wildfire as a hydrological and geomorphological agent,"Wildfire can lead to considerable hydrological and geomorphological change, both directly by weathering bedrock surfaces and changing soil structure and properties, and indirectly through the effects of changes to the soil and vegetation on hydrological and geomorphological processes. This review summarizes current knowledge and identifies research gaps focusing particularly on the contribution of research from the Mediterranean Basin, Australia and South Africa over the last two decades or so to the state of knowledge mostly built on research carried out in the USA.Wildfire-induced weathering rates have been reported to be high relative to other weathering processes in fire-prone terrain, possibly as much as one or two magnitudes higher than frost action, with important implications for cosmogenic-isotope dating of the length of rock exposure. Wildfire impacts on soil properties have been a major focus of interest over the last two decades. Fire usually reduces soil aggregate stability and can induce, enhance or destroy soil water repellency depending on the temperature reached and its duration. These changes have implications for infiltration, overland flow and rainsplash detachment. A large proportion of publications concerned with fire impacts have focused on post-fire soil erosion by water, particularly at small scales. These have shown elevated, sometimes extremely large post-fire losses before geomorphological stability is re-established. Soil losses per unit area are generally negatively related to measurement scale reflecting increased opportunities for sediment storage at larger scales. Over the last 20 years, there has been much improvement in the understanding of the forms, causes and timing of debris flow and landslide activity on burnt terrain. Advances in previously largely unreported processes (e.g. bio-transfer of sediment and wind erosion) have also been made.Post-fire hydrological effects have generally also been studied at small rather than large scales, with soil water repellency effects on infiltration and overland flow being a particular focus. At catchment scales, post-fire accentuated peakflow has received more attention than changes in total flow, reflecting easier measurement and the greater hazard posed by the former. Post-fire changes to stream channels occur over both short and long terms with complex feedback mechanisms, though research to date has been limited.Research gaps identified include the need to: (1) develop a fire severity index relevant to soil changes rather than to degree of biomass destruction; (2) isolate the hydrological and geomorphological impacts of fire-induced soil water repellency changes from other important post-fire changes (e.g. litter and vegetation destruction); (3) improve knowledge of the hydrological and geomorphological impacts of wildfire in a wider range of fire-prone terrain types; (4) solve important problems in the determination and analysis of hillslope and catchment sediment yields including poor knowledge about soil losses other than at small spatial and short temporal scales, the lack of a clear measure of the degradational significance of post-fire soil losses, and confusion arising from errors in and lack of scale context for many quoted post-fire soil erosion rates; and (5) increase the research effort into past and potential future hydrological and geomorphological changes resulting from wildfire.","AcknowledgementsWe wish to acknowledge funding from the EU (grants EV4V-0106-C TT, EV5V-0041 and FAIR 6CT98-4027) and NERC (Urgency Grant NER/A/S/2002/00143 and Advanced Fellowship NER/J/S/200200662 {SHD}), which has supported our research into the hydrological and geomorphological effects of wildfire both in the laboratory and in the field in Europe and Australia.

,pub.1061609583,10.1109/tgrs.2005.857328,,,,A Method to Derive Smoke Emission Rates From MODIS Fire Radiative Energy Measurements,"Present methods of emissions estimation from satellite data often use fire pixel counts, even though fire strengths and smoke emission rates can differ by some orders of magnitude between pixels. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) measurements of fire radiative energy (FRE) release rates $R_{\rm fre}$ range from less than 10 to more than 1700 MW per pixel at 1-km resolution. To account for the effect of such a wide range of fire strengths/sizes on smoke emission rates, we have developed direct linear relationships between the MODIS-measured $R_{\rm fre}$ and smoke aerosol emission rates $R_{\rm sa}$ (in kilograms per second), derived by analyzing MODIS measurements of aerosol spatial distribution around the fires with National Center for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research wind fields. We applied the technique to several regions around the world and derived a FRE-based smoke emission coefficient, $C_{e}$ (in kilograms per megajoule), which can be simply multiplied by $R_{\rm fre}$ to calculate $R_{\rm sa}$. This new coefficient $C_{e}$ is an excellent remote sensing parameter expressing the emission strength of different ecosystems and regions. Analysis of all 2002 MODIS data from Terra and Aqua satellites yielded $C_{e}$ values of 0.02–0.06 kg/MJ for boreal regions, 0.04–0.08 kg/MJ for both tropical forests and savanna regions, and 0.08–0.1 kg/MJ for Western Russian regions. These results are probably overestimated by about 50% because of uncertainties in some of the data, parameters, and assumptions involved in the computations. This 50% overestimation is comparable to uncertainties in traditional emission factors. However, our satellite method shows great promise for accuracy improvement, as better knowledge is gained about the sources of the uncertainties.","This work was supported in part by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Applications Directorate (Code YO) under Project 613-23-20: Air Quality Application—Fire Emissions.

,pub.1021484489,10.1111/j.1523-1739.2004.00433.x,,,,"Conservation Threat of Increasing Fire Frequencies in the Western Ghats, India","Abstract: The acceleration of processes such as forest fragmentation and forest fires in landscapes under intense human pressures makes it imperative to quantify and understand the effects of these processes on the conservation of biodiversity in these landscapes. We combined information from remote‐sensing imagery and ground maps of all fires in the Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary (MWLS) in the Western Ghats of India over 14 years (1989–2002). These spatial data on fire occurrence were integrated with maps of vegetation types found in the MWLS to examine fire conditions in each. We calculated the average fire‐return interval for each of the vegetation types individually and for the MWLS as a whole. Using vegetation data from the larger Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve and the entire Western Ghats region, we conservatively estimated fire‐frequency information for these larger regions. Because the MWLS does not contain tropical evergreen or montane forests, we were unable to estimate fire conditions in these forest types, which represent 31% of all Western Ghats vegetation cover. For the MWLS, all vegetation types had average fire‐return intervals of <7 years, and the sanctuary as a whole had a fire‐return interval of 3.3 years. Compared with a 13‐year MWLS fire data set from 1909–1921, this represents a threefold increase in fire frequency over the last 80 years. We estimated average fire‐return intervals of roughly 5 years for both the larger Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve and the entire Western Ghats region. Given other recent reports, the estimated fire frequencies for the Western Ghats forests outside protected reserves are conservative. We conclude that the current fire regime of the Western Ghats poses a severe and persistent conservation threat to forests both within and outside protected reserves. Resumen: La aceleración de procesos como la fragmentación de bosques e incendios forestales en paisajes bajo intensa presión humana hace imperativo cuantificar y comprender los efectos de estos procesos sobre la conservación de biodiversidad en estos paisajes. A partir de imágenes de sensores remotos y mapas combinamos información sobre todos los incendios en el Santuario Mudumalai de Vida Silvestre (SMVS) en las Ghats Occidentales a lo largo de 14 años (1989‐2002). Los datos espaciales de la ocurrencia de incendios fueron integrados con mapas de tipos de vegetación del SMVS para examinar las condiciones de fuego en cada uno. Calculamos el intervalo promedio de retorno de fuego individualmente para cada uno de los tipos de vegetación y en conjunto para el SMVS. Utilizando datos de vegetación de la Reserva de la Biosfera Nilgiri y de toda la región de las Ghats Occidentales conservadoramente estimamos información de frecuencia de incendios para estas regiones más extensas. Debido a que el SMVS no contiene bosques tropicales siempre verdes ni montanos, no pudimos estimar las condiciones de fuego en estos tipos de bosque, que representan el 31% de la cobertura vegetal de las Ghats Occidentales. Para el SMVS, todos los tipos de vegetación tuvieron intervalos promedio de retorno de fuego de <7 años, y el santuario como un todo tuvo un intervalo de retorno de fuego de 3.3 años. En comparación con un conjunto de datos sobre fuego de 13 años en el SMVS de 1909‐1921, esto representa un incremento de tres veces en la frecuencia de incendios en los últimos 80 años. Estimamos intervalos promedio de retorno de fuego de aproximadamente 5 años para Reserva de la Biosfera Nilgiri y de toda la región de las Ghats Occidentales. Dados otros reportes recientes, las estimaciones de frecuencias de incendios para bosques en las Ghats Occidentales afuera de reservas protegidas son conservadoras. Concluimos que el actual régimen de fuego en las Ghats Occidentales constituye una amenaza severa y persistente a los bosques tanto dentro como afuera de reservas protegidas.","We thank colleagues at the Indian Institute of Science field station, Masinagudi, for their support especially during the fieldwork in the MWLS.

,pub.1005494185,10.1890/02-3051,,,,SPECIES COMPOSITION AND FIRE IN A DRY DECIDUOUS FOREST,"A century of annual burning of the understory of otherwise fire‐free deciduous tropical forest in central India has favored seven tree species that produce sprouts or suckers from root buds (root‐sprouters) over 37 species that produce sprouts basally from root crowns (root‐crown resprouters). Experiments over two years demonstrated that low‐intensity ground fires killed seedlings (<1 year old), resulting in a 30% decrease in seedling diversity in burned relative to unburned plots. Overall fire‐related mortality of seedlings was 74% for 17 root‐crown resprouters, compared to 63% for six root‐sprouters. Repeated‐measures ANOVA showed that the number of juvenile (>1 year old) stems of root‐sprouters increased in burned study plots but decreased in plots protected from fire. Annual burning by people favors species that repair damage by root sprouts. Root‐sprouting offers a means of occupying new ground with clonal ramets away from the original parental base. Over time, forests may become dominated by clonal root‐sprouters, in contrast to historical accounts of forest dominated by root‐crown resprouters that do not spread by clonal growth. If this process continues in the Mendha Forest in India, >80% of its tree diversity could be lost within 100–200 years.","We thank W. J. Platt, S. Balcomb, N. Cordeiro, P. Fine, N. Ingle, M.

Two possible reasons emerge from the analyses. A southeastward shift in the Walker circulation anomalies associated with ENSO events may lead to a reduced subsidence over the Indian region, thus favoring normal monsoon conditions. Additionally, increased surface temperatures over Eurasia in winter and spring, which are a part of the midlatitude continental warming trend, may favor the enhanced land-ocean thermal gradient conducive to a strong monsoon. These observations raise the possibility that the Eurasian warming in recent decades helps to sustain the monsoon rainfall at a normal level despite strong ENSO events.",,,Science,,,American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS),"0036-8075, 1095-9203",,1999-06-25,1999,,1999-06-25,284,5423,2156-2159,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Kumar, K.

It was intended to retrospectively look at wet and dry conditions using water balance techniques. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is a probability index that was developed to give a better representation of abnormal wetness and dryness than the Palmer indices. Before the user community will accept the SPI as an alternative to the Palmer indices, a standard method must be developed for computing the index. Standardization is necessary so that all users of the index will have a common basis for both spatial and temporal comparison of index values. If different probability distributions and models are used to describe an observed series of precipitation, then different SPI values may be obtained. This article describes the effect on the SPI values computed from different probability models as well as the effects on dry event characteristics. It is concluded that the Pearson Type III distribution is the “best” universal model, and that the reliability of the SPI is sample size dependent. It is also concluded that because of data limitations, SPIs with time scales longer than 24 months may be unreliable.

,pub.1010549834,10.1038/311054a0,,,,Replacement of oak forest with pine in the Himalaya affects the nitrogen cycle,"Pine and oak are the two predominant evergreen forests in the central and western Himalaya between altitudes 1,200 and 2,200 m. The pine is a light-demanding, fire-adapted but fire-promoting species. The surface fires averaging once every 2 or 3 years cause substantial nitrogen losses in pine forest. Pine forest naturally occurs on the driest and rockiest slopes, and has spread greatly under the influence of cutting and burning, replacing oak forest in vast areas. Oak forest is non-inflammable but has suffered a good deal from fire spreading from the pine forest1. Deforestation has also accounted for loss of oak forest1–3, and although the replacement of oak by pine is common1,2, the reverse has not been observed. Our studies indicate that the greater nutrient-conserving ability of pine and the creation of a nitrogen shortage makes it difficult for oak to re-invade areas occupied by pine4–8.",,,Nature,,,Springer Nature,"0028-0836, 1476-4687",,1984-09,1984,,1984-09,311,5981,54-56,Closed,Article,Letter To Editor,"Singh, J.

The participant (24 years old, 173 cm, 70 kg, and 3 years firefighting experience) experienced heat exhaustion following 7 hours of high ambient temperatures and arduous work on the fire line during the month of August. At the time of the heat-related incident (HRI), core temperature was 40.1 °C (104.2 °F) and skin temperature was 34.4 °C (93.9 °F). His work output averaged 1067 counts·min(-1) (arbitrary units for measuring activity) for the 7 hours prior to the HRI, a very high rate of work over an extended time period during wildfire suppression. In the 2.5 hours leading up to the heat incident, he was exposed to a mean ambient temperature of 44.6 °C (112.3 °F), with a maximum temperature of 59.7 °C (139.5 °F). He consumed an average of 840 mL·h(-1) in the 7 hours leading up to the incident and took an average of 24 ± 11 drinks·h(-1) (total of 170 drinks). The combined effects of a high work rate and high ambient temperatures resulted in an elevated core temperature and a higher volume and frequency of drinking than typically seen in this population, ultimately ending in heat exhaustion and removal from the fire line. The data demonstrate that heat-related incidents can occur even with aggressive fluid intake during wildland fire suppression.","Research funded by the United States Forest Service (USFS) and Mineral Resources (manufacturers of Elete).

DATA SOURCES: During April 2007, we searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, SportDiscus, CINAHL, and Cochrane Reviews databases as well as ProQuest for theses and dissertations to identify research studies evaluating whole-body cooling treatments without limits. Key words were cooling, cryotherapy, water immersion, cold-water immersion, ice-water immersion, icing, fanning, bath, baths, cooling modality, heat illness, heat illnesses, exertional heatstroke, exertional heat stroke, heat exhaustion, hyperthermia, hyperthermic, hyperpyrexia, exercise, exertion, running, football, military, runners, marathoner, physical activity, marathoning, soccer, and tennis.
DATA SYNTHESIS: Two independent reviewers graded each study on the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. Seven of 89 research articles met all inclusion criteria and a minimum score of 4 out of 10 on the PEDro scale.
CONCLUSIONS: After an extensive and critical review of the available research on whole-body cooling for the treatment of exertional hyperthermia, we concluded that ice-water immersion provides the most efficient cooling. Further research comparing whole-body cooling modalities is needed to identify other acceptable means. When ice-water immersion is not possible, continual dousing with water combined with fanning the patient is an alternative method until more advanced cooling means can be used. Until future investigators identify other acceptable whole-body cooling modalities for exercise-induced hyperthermia, ice-water immersion and cold-water immersion are the methods proven to have the fastest cooling rates.",,,Journal of Athletic Training,,,Journal of Athletic Training/NATA,"1062-6050, 1938-162X",Acute Disease; Body Temperature Regulation; Cryotherapy; Evidence-Based Practice; Exercise; Fever; Humans; Physical Exertion,2009-01-01,2009,,2009-01-01,44,1,84-93,All OA; Bronze,Article,Review Article,"McDermott, Brendon P.; Casa, Douglas J.; Ganio, Matthew S.; Lopez, Rebecca M.; Yeargin, Susan W.; Armstrong, Lawrence E.; Maresh, Carl M.","McDermott, Brendon P.

,pub.1046248507,10.1186/cc5910,17498312,PMC2206402,,Cooling and hemodynamic management in heatstroke: practical recommendations,"IntroductionAlthough rapid cooling and management of circulatory failure are crucial to the prevention of irreversible tissue damage and death in heatstroke, the evidence supporting the optimal cooling method and hemodynamic management has yet to be established.MethodsA systematic review of all clinical studies published in Medline (1966 to 2006), CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature) (1982 to 2006), and Cochrane Database was performed using the OVID interface without language restriction. Search terms included heatstroke, sunstroke, and heat stress disorders.ResultsFourteen articles reported populations subjected to cooling treatment for classic or exertional heatstroke and included data on cooling time, neurologic morbidity, or mortality. Five additional articles described invasive monitoring with central venous or pulmonary artery catheters. The four clinical trials and 15 observational studies covered a total of 556 patients. A careful analysis of the results obtained indicated that the cooling method based on conduction, namely immersion in iced water, was effective among young people, military personnel, and athletes with exertional heatstroke. There was no evidence to support the superiority of any one cooling technique in classic heatstroke. The effects of non-invasive, evaporative, or conductive-based cooling techniques, singly or combined, appeared to be comparable. No evidence of a specific endpoint temperature for safe cessation of cooling was found. The circulatory alterations in heatstroke were due mostly to a form of distributive shock associated with relative or absolute hypovolemia. Myocardial failure was found to be rare.ConclusionA systematic review of the literature failed to identify reliable clinical data on the optimum treatment of heatstroke. Nonetheless, the findings of this study could serve as a framework for preliminary recommendations in cooling and hemodynamic management of heatstroke until more evidence-based data are generated.","This work was supported in part by the World Health Organization (WHO), Regional Office for Europe, and the EuroHEAT project cofinanced by DG Sanco (Directorate General for Health and Consumer Affairs).

,pub.1032397976,10.1249/mss.0b013e31802fa199,17473783,,,Exertional Heat Illness during Training and Competition,"Exertional heat illness can affect athletes during high-intensity or long-duration exercise and result in withdrawal from activity or collapse during or soon after activity. These maladies include exercise associated muscle cramping, heat exhaustion, or exertional heatstroke. While certain individuals are more prone to collapse from exhaustion in the heat (i.e., not acclimatized, using certain medications, dehydrated, or recently ill), exertional heatstroke (EHS) can affect seemingly healthy athletes even when the environment is relatively cool. EHS is defined as a rectal temperature greater than 40 degrees C accompanied by symptoms or signs of organ system failure, most frequently central nervous system dysfunction. Early recognition and rapid cooling can reduce both the morbidity and mortality associated with EHS. The clinical changes associated with EHS can be subtle and easy to miss if coaches, medical personnel, and athletes do not maintain a high level of awareness and monitor at-risk athletes closely. Fatigue and exhaustion during exercise occur more rapidly as heat stress increases and are the most common causes of withdrawal from activity in hot conditions. When athletes collapse from exhaustion in hot conditions, the term heat exhaustion is often applied. In some cases, rectal temperature is the only discernable difference between severe heat exhaustion and EHS in on-site evaluations. Heat exhaustion will generally resolve with symptomatic care and oral fluid support. Exercise associated muscle cramping can occur with exhaustive work in any temperature range, but appears to be more prevalent in hot and humid conditions. Muscle cramping usually responds to rest and replacement of fluid and salt (sodium). Prevention strategies are essential to reducing the incidence of EHS, heat exhaustion, and exercise associated muscle cramping.",,,Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0195-9131, 1530-0315","Competitive Behavior; Heat Exhaustion; Heat Stress Disorders; Humans; Motor Activity; Physical Endurance; Physical Exertion; Risk Factors; Societies, Medical; Sports; Sports Medicine; United States",2007-03,2007,,2007-03,39,3,556-572,All OA; Bronze,Article,Review Article,"Armstrong, Lawrence E; Casa, Douglas J; Millard-Stafford, Mindy; Moran, Daniel S; Pyne, Scott W; Roberts, William O","Armstrong, Lawrence E (); Casa, Douglas J (); Millard-Stafford, Mindy (); Moran, Daniel S (); Pyne, Scott W (); Roberts, William O ()",,"Armstrong, Lawrence E (); Casa, Douglas J (); Millard-Stafford, Mindy (); Moran, Daniel S (); Pyne, Scott W (); Roberts, William O ()",,,,,,,,,,,866,122,20.03,145.04,116,https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Fulltext/2007/03000/Exertional_Heat_Illness_during_Training_and.20.aspx,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1032397976,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 3202 Clinical Sciences; 42 Health Sciences,Clinical Research; Physical Activity,,,,,"C24 Sport and Exercise Sciences, Leisure and Tourism",,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

METHODS: This study documents heat illness hospitalizations and deaths for the U.S. Army from 1980 through 2002. Hospitalization data were obtained from the Total Army Injury Health Outcomes Database (TAIHOD) coded according to the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM). North Atlantic Treaty Organization Standardization Agreement codes were searched for heat injuries in an effort to detect cases that were not found during the ICD-9-CM search.
RESULTS: Five-thousand two-hundred forty-six soldiers were hospitalized, and 37 died due to heat illness. Our results indicate: 1) approximately 60% reduction in hospitalization rates (fewer heat exhaustion cases) over the 22-yr period; 2) fivefold increase in heat stroke hospitalization rates (1.8 per 100,000 in 1980 to 14.5 per 100,000 in 2001); 3) heat stroke cases were associated with dehydration (17%), rhabdomyolysis (25%), and acute renal failure (13%); 4) lower hospitalizations rates among African and Hispanic Americans compared with Caucasians (incidence density ratio, 0.76 [95% confidence interval, 0.71-0.82]; 5) greater rates of hospitalizations and heat strokes among recruits from northern than southern states (incidence density ratio, 1.69 [95% confidence interval, 1.42-1.90]; and 6) greater rates of hospitalizations and heat strokes among women than men (incidence density ratio, 1.18 [95% confidence interval, 1.09-1.27]).
CONCLUSIONS: Exertional heat illness continues to be a military problem during training and operations. Whereas the hospitalization rate of heat illness is declining, heat stroke has markedly increased.",,,Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0195-9131, 1530-0315",Adolescent; Adult; Ethnicity; Female; Heat Stress Disorders; Hospitalization; Humans; Male; Military Personnel; Racial Groups; Risk Factors; United States,2005-08,2005,,2005-08,37,8,1338-1334,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"CARTER, ROBERT; CHEUVRONT, SAMUEL N.; WILLIAMS, JEFFREY O.; KOLKA, MARGARET A.; STEPHENSON, LOU A.; SAWKA, MICHAEL N.; AMOROSO, PAUL J.","CARTER, ROBERT (United States Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, Natick, MA; and Social Sectors Development Strategies, Inc., Natick, MA); CHEUVRONT, SAMUEL N.

,pub.1028664977,10.1139/h02-031,12500994,,,Effect of Fourteen Days of Acclimatization on Athletic Performance in Tropical Climate,"In order to study the acclimatization process over 14 days of exposure to tropical climate, 9 triathletes performed 4 outdoor indirect continuous multistage tests in both thermoneutral and tropical conditions. The thermoneutral test (TN, 14 degree C, 45% rh) was performed before traveling to the tropical area (Martinique, FWI). The tropical tests were performed 2, 8, and 14 days after arrival (32.9 degree C, 78% rh). During each trial, we measured tympanic temperature, sweat rate, body mass loss, heart rate (HR), and performance.

Ten Hot Shot fire fighters (9 men, 1 woman) volunteered to wear a MTI monitor during every work shift for 21 consecutive days. Summarizing whole-body motion data each 1 min, the raw activity data (counts min(-1)) were transformed into units of kcal min(-1) using a custom computer program with standard conversion equations. EE(TOT) averaged (Mean+/-SD) 4768+/-478 kcal day(-1), while EE(ACT) averaged 2585+/-406 kcal day(-1), neither of which differed significantly (P = 0.198 and 0.268, respectively) from literature values reported for Hot Shots using the doubly labeled water technique. These data suggest that the electronic activity monitor provided reasonable estimates of EE in wildland fire fighters. This study should be verified, however, with a more complete validation methodology to ensure these findings.","AcknowledgementsThis project was supported in part by a loan of activity monitors from Manufacturing Technology, Inc.

METHODS: Seventeen wildland firefighters (from three Interagency Hot Shot crews, N = 8 men, height = 177 +/- 7 cm, weight = 74.6 +/- 6.4 kg, age = 24.5 +/- 1.8 yr; N = 9 women, height = 170 +/- 7 cm, weight = 65.2 +/- 8.0 kg, age = 25.0 +/- 1.3 yr) served as subjects. Before wildland fire suppression, each subject was given an oral dose of 2H2O and H218O (approximately 0.23 g 2H2O.kg estimated TBW-1 and 0.39 g H218O.kg estimated TBW-1). Urine samples were collected between 0400 and 0600 daily. TEE was calculated using the two-point method for days 1-3 and 1-5, with the TEE for days 4-5 calculated by extrapolation. Urine samples from other crew members not participating in the DLW protocol were collected at the same times and used to adjust calculations of isotopic elimination for background shifts.
RESULTS: TEE was 17.4 +/- 3.7 and 17.5 +/- 6.9 MJ.d-1 during days 1-3 and 4-5, respectively. The energy expenditure associated with physical activity (EEA) was 8.8 +/- 3.0 and 8.9 +/- 6.1 MJ.d-1 for days 1-3 and 4-5, respectively.
CONCLUSION: The current data demonstrate consistently high daily energy expenditure in the wildland firefighter. These data also demonstrate that the doubly labeled water methodology is an appropriate methodology for the measure of TEE during unpredictable field operations if adjustments are made for changes in background enrichment and elevated water turnover.",,,Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0195-9131, 1530-0315","Adult; Calorimetry, Indirect; Energy Intake; Energy Metabolism; Female; Fires; Humans; Male; Physical Exertion; Sex Factors; Work",2002-06,2002,,2002-06,34,6,1048-1054,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"RUBY, BRENT C.; SHRIVER, TIM C.; ZDERIC, THEODORE W.; SHARKEY, BRIAN J.; BURKS, CATHERINE; TYSK, SONJA","RUBY, BRENT C.

EHS is thought to coincide with previously healthy, highly motivated, and relatively untrained individuals exerting in hot environments for long periods.
PURPOSE: To establish this notion, the present study was aimed to follow the trends in the incidence of EHS in the period 1988-1996.
METHODS: During these years, 150 cases of male soldiers (age = 20+/-3 yr) were reported to our institute as suffering from heat illnesses. According to the files, 82 cases were definitely diagnosed as EHS.
RESULTS: More than 50% of the cases occurred during the first 6 months in service. Most of the cases occurred during the summer season (June-September), but 30% of the cases occurred during the spring. EHS was not related to time in the day. Many cases occurred during the night or early morning, even under mild heat load. Forty percent of the cases occurred during very short activities, and about 60% occurred already during the first 2 h of exercise. The results were discussed in view of the regulations which prevail in the Israeli army.

Activity Distribution, Energy Expenditure, and Productivity of Men Suppressing Free-Running Wildland Fires With Hand Tools","Timed-activity studies were made of four crews while they attempted to suppress well-developed experimental bushfires of intensities commonly faced by handtool crews, and also while they built fireline in the same way without fire, during three summers in Australian eucalypt forests. Fireline construction with rakehoes (including step up) occupied, on average, 63% of the crew's time. Firefighters raked for 38 seconds followed by 10 seconds of step up, thus obtaining frequent brief rests for the arm muscles involved in raking. Energy expenditure (EE) of all fire-suppression activities averaged 516 W, equivalent to a relative work load (RWL) of 45% of the men's maximum work capacity. Pulmonary ventilation averaged 55 (range 38-83) 1 min-1 during raking and 40 (range 23-73) 1 min-1 during all activities. Each firefighter built 1.90 m2 of fireline per minute of raking, and 1.21 m2 min-1 over the whole period of the attack. Each hour the six men engaged in fireline construction built and held 436 m2, i.e. 512 metres of fireline 0.85 metres wide. Individuals consistently differed twofold in their self-chosen levels of raking EE and RWL and threefold in productivity and efficiency (productivity per unit EE), whereas average raking EE did not differ between crews, nor between attacks with and without fire.

The diagnosis may be established from the circumstances surrounding the death, investigative reports concerning environmental temperature, and/or measured antemortem body temperature at the time of collapse. In cases where the measured antemortem body temperature at the time of collapse was > or = 105 degrees F (> or = 40.6 degrees C), the cause of death should be certified as heat stroke or hyperthermia. Deaths may also be certified as heat stroke or hyperthermia with lower body temperatures when cooling has been attempted prior to arrival at the hospital and/or when there is a clinical history of mental status changes and elevated liver and muscle enzymes.

This manuscript reviews previous findings regarding recovery from EH and presents original research involving the heat acclimation ability of 10 prior EH patients (PH) and 5 control subjects. Heat acclimation, by definition, distinguishes heat-intolerant from heat-tolerant prior heatstroke patients. Nine PH exhibited normal heat acclimation adaptations (40.1 degrees C, 7 d, 90 min.d-1), thermoregulation, sweat gland function, whole-body sodium and potassium balance, and blood values at 61 +/- 7 d after EH. One PH (subject A) did not adapt to exercise in the heat, was defined heat intolerant, but subsequently was declared heat tolerant (11.5 months post-EH). Three PH exhibited large, unexpected increases in serum CPK levels, which resolved upon subsequent testing, and were probably related to their detrained state and the exercise which they performed. It was concluded that: 1) sleep loss and generalized fatigue were the most common predisposing factors for PH; 2) recovery from EH was idiosyncratic and may require up to 1 year in severe cases; 3) PH were not hereditarily heat intolerant, prior to EH; 4) no measured variable predicted recovery from EH, or heat acclimation responses; 5) heat intolerance occurs in a small percentage of prior heatstroke patients, and may be transient or persistent.",,,Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0195-9131, 1530-0315","Acclimatization; Adaptation, Physiological; Adult; Clinical Trials as Topic; Heat Exhaustion; Hot Temperature; Humans; Male; Time Factors",1990-02,1990,,1990-02,22,1,36,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Armstrong, L E; De Luca, J P; Hubbard, R W","Armstrong, L E (Heat Research Division, U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, Natick, MA 01760-5007.); De Luca, J P (); Hubbard, R W ()",,"Armstrong, L E (US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine); De Luca, J P (); Hubbard, R W ()",US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine,grid.420094.b,Natick,Massachusetts,United States,,,,,,175,4,5.62,,18,https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Abstract/1990/02000/Time_course_of_recovery_and_heat_acclimation.7.aspx,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1013911300,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 3202 Clinical Sciences,Clinical Research,,,,,"C24 Sport and Exercise Sciences, Leisure and Tourism",,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Historically, the use of cold water immersion with skin massage has been quite successful in rapidly lowering body temperature and in avoiding severe complications or death. Recent studies have suggested alternative therapies, including the use of a warm air spray, the use of helicopter downdraft, and pharmacological agents. While evidence exists to support these methods, they have not been shown to reduce fatalities as effectively as ice water immersion. Although several cooling methods may have clinical use, all techniques rely on the prompt recognition of symptoms and immediate action in the field.",,,Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,,,Wolters Kluwer,"0195-9131, 1530-0315",Cold Temperature; Emergencies; Heat Exhaustion; Humans; Immersion; Methods; Physical Exertion,1990-02,1990,,1990-02,22,1,15,All OA; Bronze,Article,Review Article,"COSTRINI, ANTHONY","COSTRINI, ANTHONY ()",,"COSTRINI, ANTHONY ()",,,,,,,,,,,132,10,4.44,,26,https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/abstract/1990/02000/emergency_treatment_of_exertional_heatstroke_and.4.aspx,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1009997868,32 Biomedical and Clinical Sciences; 3202 Clinical Sciences,,,,,,B12 Engineering,,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Each subject received an oral isotope dose sufficient to raise isotope levels by 200-250 (18O) and 100-120 ppm (2H). The experimental period was 7 days. Concurrently, a factorial estimate of the energy expenditure of the platoon was conducted. Also, a food intake-energy balance study was conducted for the platoon. Mean daily energy expenditure by the doubly labeled water method was 4,750 kcal (range 4,152-5,394 kcal). The factorial estimate of mean daily energy expenditure was 4,535 kcal. Because of inherent inaccuracies in the food intake-energy balance technique, we were able to conclude only that energy expenditure, as measured by this method, was greater than the estimated mean daily intake of 4,040 kcal. The doubly labeled water technique was well tolerated, is noninvasive, and appears to be suitable in a wide range of field applications.",,,Journal of Applied Physiology,,,American Physiological Society,"8750-7587, 1522-1601",Adult; Australia; Deuterium; Energy Metabolism; Humans; Male; Military Personnel; Oxygen Isotopes; Physical Education and Training; Tropical Climate; Warfare; Water,1989-07-01,1989,,1989-07-01,67,1,14-18,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Forbes-Ewan, C.

Impact on and recovery of the chaparral fauna has received only scattered attention; this paper synthesizes what is known in this regard for the diversity of animal taxa associated with California shrublands and outlines the primary differences between plant and animal responses to fire. We evaluated the primary faunal modes of resisting fire effects in three categories: 1) endogenous survival in a diapause or diapause-like stage, 2) sheltering in place within unburned refugia, or 3) fleeing and recolonizing. Utilizing these patterns in chaparral and sage scrub, as well as some studies on animals in other mediterranean-climate ecosystems, we derived generalizations about how plants and animals differ in their responses to fire impacts and their postfire recovery. One consequence of these differences is that variation in fire behavior has a much greater potential to affect animals than plants. For example, plants recover from fire endogenously from soil-stored seeds and resprouts, so fire size plays a limited role in determining recovery patterns. However, animals that depend on recolonization of burned sites from metapopulations may be greatly affected by fire size. Animal recolonization may also be greatly affected by regional land use patterns that affect colonization corridors, whereas such regional factors play a minimal role in plant community recovery. Fire characteristics such as rate of spread and fire intensity do not appear to play an important role in determining patterns of chaparral and sage scrub plant recovery after fire. However, these fire behavior characteristics may have a profound role in determining survivorship of some animal populations as slow-moving, smoldering combustion may limit survivorship of animals in burrows, whereas fast-moving, high intensity fires may affect survivorship of animals in aboveground refugia or those attempting to flee. Thus, fire regime characteristics may have a much greater effect on postfire recovery of animal communities than plant communities in these shrubland ecosystems.","This work was supported in part by the California Fire Science Consortium, funded through the Joint Fire Sciences Program.

Since people mainly shelter indoors during wildfire smoke events, the infiltration of wildfire PM2.5 into indoor environments is a key determinant of human exposure and is potentially controllable with appropriate awareness, infrastructure investment, and public education. Using time-resolved observations outside and inside more than 1,400 buildings from the crowdsourced PurpleAir sensor network in California, we found that the geometric mean infiltration ratios (indoor PM2.5 of outdoor origin/outdoor PM2.5) were reduced from 0.4 during non-fire days to 0.2 during wildfire days. Even with reduced infiltration, the mean indoor concentration of PM2.5 nearly tripled during wildfire events, with a lower infiltration in newer buildings and those utilizing air conditioning or filtration.","We acknowledge Tongshu Zheng at Duke University for his advice on processing the data from the PurpleAir sensors.

Wildfires produce high levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Recent studies reported that short-term exposure to PM2.5 is associated with increased risk of COVID-19 cases and deaths. We acquired and linked publicly available daily data on PM2.5, the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths, and other confounders for 92 western U.S. counties that were affected by the 2020 wildfires. We estimated the association between short-term exposure to PM2.5 during the wildfires and the epidemiological dynamics of COVID-19 cases and deaths. We adjusted for several time-varying confounding factors (e.g., weather, seasonality, long-term trends, mobility, and population size). We found strong evidence that wildfires amplified the effect of short-term exposure to PM2.5 on COVID-19 cases and deaths, although with substantial heterogeneity across counties.","We are grateful for helpful feedback from X.

However, differentials in access to these sensors could exacerbate existing inequalities in the ability of different communities to respond to the threat of air pollution.ObjectiveOur goal was to analyze patterns of deployments of a commonly used low-cost sensor, as a function of demographics and pollutant concentrations.MethodsWe used Wilcoxon rank sum tests to assess differences between socioeconomic characteristics and PM2.5 concentrations of locations with low-cost sensors and those with regulatory monitors. We used Kolomogorov–Smirnov tests to examine how representative census tracts with sensors were of the United States. We analyzed predictors of the presence, and number of, sensors in a tract using regressions.ResultsCensus tracts with low-cost sensors were higher income more White and more educated than the US as a whole and than tracts with regulatory monitors. For all states except for California they are in locations with lower annual-average PM2.5 concentrations than regulatory monitors. The existing presence of a regulatory monitor, the percentage of people living above the poverty line and PM2.5 concentrations were associated with the presence of low-cost sensors in a tract.SignificanceStrategies to improve access to low-cost sensors in less-privileged communities are needed to democratize air pollution data.","This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.

The scale of this study offers new insight into both average penetration rates and drivers of heterogeneity in the outdoor-indoor relationship. We find that an increase in the daily outdoor PM concentration of 10% leads to an average increase of 4.2-6.1% in indoor concentrations. The penetration of outdoor particles to the indoor environment occurs rapidly and almost entirely within 5 h. We also provide evidence showing that penetration rates are associated with building age and climatic conditions in the vicinity of the monitor. Since people spend a substantial amount of each day indoors, our findings fill a critical knowledge gap and have significant implications for government policies to improve public health through reductions in exposure to ambient air pollution.","For research assistance, the authors thank Peter Wallmüller.

Here we bring together data on the changing risk and societal burden of wildfire in the United States. We estimate that nearly 50 million homes are currently in the wildland-urban interface in the United States, a number increasing by 1 million houses every 3 y. To illustrate how changes in wildfire activity might affect air pollution and related health outcomes, and how these linkages might guide future science and policy, we develop a statistical model that relates satellite-based fire and smoke data to information from pollution monitoring stations. Using the model, we estimate that wildfires have accounted for up to 25% of PM2.5 (particulate matter with diameter <2.5 μm) in recent years across the United States, and up to half in some Western regions, with spatial patterns in ambient smoke exposure that do not follow traditional socioeconomic pollution exposure gradients. We combine the model with stylized scenarios to show that fuel management interventions could have large health benefits and that future health impacts from climate-change-induced wildfire smoke could approach projected overall increases in temperature-related mortality from climate change-but that both estimates remain uncertain. We use model results to highlight important areas for future research and to draw lessons for policy.","We thank the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and NSF (CNH 1715557) for generous funding.",,Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America,,,Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,"0027-8424, 1091-6490","Air Pollution; Climate Change; Environmental Exposure; Environmental Pollution; Fires; Humans; Models, Statistical; Particulate Matter; Risk Factors; Smoke; United States; Wildfires",2021-01-11,2021,2021-01-11,2021-01-12,118,2,e2011048118,All OA; Hybrid,Article,Research Article,"Burke, Marshall; Driscoll, Anne; Heft-Neal, Sam; Xue, Jiani; Burney, Jennifer; Wara, Michael","Burke, Marshall (Department of Earth System Science, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, 94305;; Center on Food Security and the Environment, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, 94305;; National Bureau of Economic Research, Cambridge, MA, 02138;); Driscoll, Anne (Center on Food Security and the Environment, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, 94305;); Heft-Neal, Sam (Center on Food Security and the Environment, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, 94305;); Xue, Jiani (Center on Food Security and the Environment, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, 94305;); Burney, Jennifer (School of Global Policy and Strategy, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA, 92093;); Wara, Michael (Woods Institute for the Environment, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, 94305)","Burke, Marshall (Stanford University; Stanford University; National Bureau of Economic Research)","Burke, Marshall (Stanford University; Stanford University; National Bureau of Economic Research); Driscoll, Anne (Stanford University); Heft-Neal, Sam (Stanford University); Xue, Jiani (Stanford University); Burney, Jennifer (University of California, San Diego); Wara, Michael (Stanford University)","Stanford University; University of California, San Diego; National Bureau of Economic Research",grid.168010.e; grid.266100.3; grid.250279.b,Stanford; San Diego; Cambridge,California; California; Massachusetts,United States; United States; United States,Robert Wood Johnson Foundation; Directorate for Geosciences; Hewlett Foundation,US Federal Funders; NSF - National Science Foundation,United States; United States; United States,grant.7056118,1715557,0,0,,,,https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/118/2/e2011048118.full.pdf,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1134504644,"30 Agricultural, Veterinary and Food Sciences; 3007 Forestry Sciences; 41 Environmental Sciences; 4102 Ecological Applications; 42 Health Sciences",Behavioral and Social Science; Climate Change; Climate-Related Exposures and Conditions; Prevention; Social Determinants of Health,,,,,C14 Geography and Environmental Studies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

However, if a population's vulnerability to air pollution is imperfectly correlated with current pollution levels, then this approach to air quality regulation may not efficiently target pollution reduction efforts. We examine the geographic and socioeconomic determinants of vulnerability to dying from acute exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution. We find that there is substantial local and regional variability in the share of individuals who are vulnerable to pollution both at the county and ZIP code level. Vulnerability tends to be negatively related to health and socioeconomic status. Surprisingly, we find that vulnerability is also negatively related to an area's average PM2.5 pollution level, suggesting that basing air quality regulation only on current pollution levels may fail to effectively target regions with the most to gain by reducing exposure.",,,Environmental and Energy Policy and the Economy,,,University of Chicago Press,"2689-7857, 2689-7865",,2021-01-01,2021,,2021-01-01,2,,157-189,All OA; Green,Article,Research Article,"Deryugina, Tatyana; Miller, Nolan; Molitor, David; Reif, Julian","Deryugina, Tatyana (University of Illinois and NBER.); Miller, Nolan (University of Illinois and NBER.); Molitor, David (University of Illinois and NBER.); Reif, Julian (University of Illinois and NBER.)",,"Deryugina, Tatyana (University of Illinois System; National Bureau of Economic Research); Miller, Nolan (University of Illinois System; National Bureau of Economic Research); Molitor, David (University of Illinois System; National Bureau of Economic Research); Reif, Julian (University of Illinois System; National Bureau of Economic Research)",National Bureau of Economic Research; University of Illinois System,grid.250279.b; grid.411030.7,Cambridge; Urbana,Massachusetts; Illinois,United States; United States,National Institute on Aging,US Federal Funders; NIH - National Institutes of Health; ICRP - International Cancer Research Partnership,United States,grant.2434634; grant.6377263,P01AG005842; R01AG053350,0,0,,,,http://www.nber.org/papers/w27357.pdf,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1134765117,41 Environmental Sciences; 4105 Pollution and Contamination; 42 Health Sciences,Basic Behavioral and Social Science; Behavioral and Social Science; Climate-Related Exposures and Conditions; Clinical Research; Health Disparities; Social Determinants of Health,Respiratory,2.2 Factors relating to the physical environment,,,"A02 Public Health, Health Services and Primary Care",11 Sustainable Cities and Communities,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Beyond the general health repercussions of the pandemic itself, these measures also present a challenge to the world's mental health and health care systems. Considering that traditional survey methods are time-consuming and expensive, we need timely and proactive data sources to respond to the rapidly evolving effects of health policy on our population's mental health. Many people in the United States now use social media platforms such as Twitter to express the most minute details of their daily lives and social relations. This behavior is expected to increase during the COVID-19 pandemic, rendering social media data a rich field to understand personal well-being.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to answer three research questions: (1) What themes emerge from a corpus of US tweets about COVID-19? (2) To what extent did social media use increase during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic? and (3) Does sentiment change in response to the COVID-19 pandemic?
METHODS: We analyzed 86,581,237 public domain English language US tweets collected from an open-access public repository in three steps. First, we characterized the evolution of hashtags over time using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modeling. Second, we increased the granularity of this analysis by downloading Twitter timelines of a large cohort of individuals (n=354,738) in 20 major US cities to assess changes in social media use. Finally, using this timeline data, we examined collective shifts in public mood in relation to evolving pandemic news cycles by analyzing the average daily sentiment of all timeline tweets with the Valence Aware Dictionary and Sentiment Reasoner (VADER) tool.
RESULTS: LDA topics generated in the early months of the data set corresponded to major COVID-19-specific events. However, as state and municipal governments began issuing stay-at-home orders, latent themes shifted toward US-related lifestyle changes rather than global pandemic-related events. Social media volume also increased significantly, peaking during stay-at-home mandates. Finally, VADER sentiment analysis scores of user timelines were initially high and stable but decreased significantly, and continuously, by late March.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings underscore the negative effects of the pandemic on overall population sentiment. Increased use rates suggest that, for some, social media may be a coping mechanism to combat feelings of isolation related to long-term social distancing. However, in light of the documented negative effect of heavy social media use on mental health, social media may further exacerbate negative feelings in the long-term for many individuals. Thus, considering the overburdened US mental health care structure, these findings have important implications for ongoing mitigation efforts.",,,Journal of Medical Internet Research,,,JMIR Publications,"1438-8871, 1439-4456",COVID-19; Cohort Studies; Humans; Longitudinal Studies; Mental Health; Pandemics; SARS-CoV-2; Social Media; United States,2020-12-14,2020,2020-12-14,,22,12,e21418,All OA; Gold,Article,Research Article,"Valdez, Danny; Thij, Marijn ten; Bathina, Krishna; Rutter, Lauren A; Bollen, Johan","Valdez, Danny (Department of Applied Health Science, School of Public Health, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, United States); Thij, Marijn ten (Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, United States); Bathina, Krishna (Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, United States); Rutter, Lauren A (Psychological and Brain Sciences, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, United States); Bollen, Johan (Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, United States)","Valdez, Danny (Indiana University Bloomington)","Valdez, Danny (Indiana University Bloomington); Thij, Marijn ten (Indiana University Bloomington); Bathina, Krishna (Indiana University Bloomington); Rutter, Lauren A (Indiana University Bloomington); Bollen, Johan (Indiana University Bloomington)",Indiana University Bloomington,grid.411377.7,Bloomington,Indiana,United States,,,,,,205,94,12.02,63.2,30,https://www.jmir.org/2020/12/e21418/PDF,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1133314580,42 Health Sciences; 4203 Health Services and Systems,Basic Behavioral and Social Science; Behavioral and Social Science; Clinical Research; Coronaviruses; Coronaviruses Disparities and At-Risk Populations; Emerging Infectious Diseases; Infectious Diseases; Mental Health,,,,,B11 Computer Science and Informatics,3 Good Health and Well Being,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

                  Impact evaluations can help to inform policy decisions, but they are rooted in particular contexts and to what extent they generalize is an open question. I exploit a new data set of impact evaluation results and find a large amount of effect heterogeneity. Effect sizes vary systematically with study characteristics, with government-implemented programs having smaller effect sizes than academic or non-governmental organization-implemented programs, even controlling for sample size. I show that treatment effect heterogeneity can be appreciably reduced by taking study characteristics into account.","I am very grateful to the editor, Daniele Paserman, and three anonymous referees for useful comments and suggestions.

,pub.1126030196,10.1088/1748-9326/ab83a7,,,,Climate change is increasing the likelihood of extreme autumn wildfire conditions across California,"California has experienced devastating autumn wildfires in recent years. These autumn wildfires have coincided with extreme fire weather conditions during periods of strong offshore winds coincident with unusually dry vegetation enabled by anomalously warm conditions and late onset of autumn precipitation. In this study, we quantify observed changes in the occurrence and magnitude of meteorological factors that enable extreme autumn wildfires in California, and use climate model simulations to ascertain whether these changes are attributable to human-caused climate change. We show that state-wide increases in autumn temperature (1 C) and decreases in autumn precipitation (30%) over the past four decades have contributed to increases in aggregate fire weather indices (+20%). As a result, the observed frequency of autumn days with extreme (95th percentile) fire weatherwhich we show are preferentially associated with extreme autumn wildfireshas more than doubled in California since the early 1980s. We further find an increase in the climate model-estimated probability of these extreme autumn conditions since 1950, including a long-term trend toward increased same-season co-occurrence of extreme fire weather conditions in northern and southern California. Our climate model analyses suggest that continued climate change will further amplify the number of days with extreme fire weather by the end of this century, though a pathway consistent with the UN Paris commitments would substantially curb that increase. Given the acute societal impacts of extreme autumn wildfires in recent years, our findings have critical relevance for ongoing efforts to manage wildfire risks in California and other regions.","We thank the editor and five anonymous reviewers for insightful and constructive feedback.

We show that social distancing following US state-level emergency declarations substantially varies by income. Using mobility measures derived from mobile device location pings, we find that wealthier areas decreased mobility significantly more than poorer areas, and this general pattern holds across income quantiles, data sources, and mobility measures. Using an event study design focusing on behavior subsequent to state emergency orders, we document a reversal in the ordering of social distancing by income: Wealthy areas went from most mobile before the pandemic to least mobile, while, for multiple measures, the poorest areas went from least mobile to most. Previous research has shown that lower income communities have higher levels of preexisting health conditions and lower access to healthcare. Combining this with our core finding-that lower income communities exhibit less social distancing-suggests a double burden of the COVID-19 pandemic with stark distributional implications.","We thank SafeGraph, PlaceIQ, and Google Mobility for making data publicly available, and Arnon Erba for technical assistance.

Participants engage with a smartphone application to explore current and forecast visualizations of air quality, learn about how to protect health from wildfire smoke, and record their smoke experiences, health symptoms, and behaviors taken to reduce their exposures to smoke. Through participation in the project, individuals engage in observing changes in their environment and recording changes in their health, thus facilitating progression on awareness of health effects of air pollution and adoption of desired health-promoting behaviors. Participants can also view what others are reporting. Data from the pilot season (1 August 2017 to 7 January 2018; 5,598 downloads) suggest that there is a clear demand for personally relevant data during wildfire episodes motivated by recognition of environmental hazard and the personal concern for health. However, while participants shared clear perceptions of the environmental hazard and health risks in general, they did not consistently recognize their own personal health risk. The engagement in health protective behavior was driven in response to symptoms rather than as preventive courses of action. We also observed clear differences in the adoption likelihood of various health protective behaviors attributed to barriers and perceived benefits of these actions. As users experience a greater number and severity of symptoms, the perceived benefits of taking health protective actions exceeded the costs associated with the barriers and thus increased adoption of those actions. Based on pilot season data, we summarize key insights which may improve current health risk communications in nudging individuals toward health protective behavior; there is a need to increase personal awareness of risk and compelling evidence that health protective behaviors are beneficial.","Acknowledgments The authors declare no conflicts of interest.

In the absence of indoor sources, all outdoor pollutant concentrations were higher than indoors except for CO. Results showed that long-range wildfire plumes elevated median indoor PM2.5 concentrations by up to 4.6 times higher than outdoors. BC, CO, and NO2 mass concentrations were higher indoors in homes closer to roadways compared to those further away. Four of the homes with mechanical ventilation systems had 18% higher indoor/outdoor (I/O) ratios of PM2.5 and 4% higher I/O ratios of BC compared to other homes. Homes with exhaust stove hoods had PM2.5 I/O ratios 49% less than the homes with recirculating hoods and 55% less than the homes with no stove hoods installed. Homes with windows open for more than 12 hours a day during sampling had indoor BC 2.4 times higher than homes with windows closed. This study provides evidence that long-range wildfire plumes, road proximity, and occupant behavior have a combined effect on indoor air quality in low-income homes.","The authors would like to thank Xcel Energy, Boulder Housing Partners and CDPHE for their genuine support, all the participating households, the advisory board and the research assistants: Hanadi Salamah, Maia Lenz, Tess Bloom, Ryan Hourigan, Sarah Hong, Eduardo Soderberg, Mohamed Eltarkawe, Alex Mass, Olivia Cecil and Adam Hester.

We conducted a systematic review of evidence in published literature pertaining to heterogeneity of respiratory effects from this exposure in North America. We calculated the within-study ratio of relative risks (RRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) to examine heterogeneity of effect by population subgroup, and then summarized the RRRs using meta-analysis. We found evidence of a greater effect of wildfire smoke on respiratory health among females relative to males for asthma (RRR: 1.035, 95% CI: 1.013, 1.057) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (RRR: 1.018, 95% CI: 1.003, 1.032). There was evidence of a lower relative risk for all respiratory outcomes among youth compared to adults (RRR: 0.976, 95% CI: 0.963, 0.989). We also found wildfire smoke effects stratified by income, race, education, health behaviors, access to care, housing occupancy, geographic region, and urban/rural status. However, data were insufficient to quantitatively evaluate effect modification by these characteristics. While we found evidence that certain demographic subgroups of the population are more susceptible to respiratory health outcomes from wildfire smoke, it is unclear whether this information can be used to inform policy aimed to reduce health impact of wildfires.",,"This research was funded by unnamed funding from the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.",International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health,,,MDPI,"1661-7827, 1660-4601",Environmental Exposure; Female; Humans; Male; North America; Respiratory Tract Diseases; Risk; Rural Population; Sex Factors; Smoke; Wildfires,2019-03-01,2019,2019-03-18,2019-03-01,16,6,960,All OA; Gold,Article,Review Article,"Kondo, Michelle C.; De Roos, Anneclaire J.; White, Lauren S.; Heilman, Warren E.; Mockrin, Miranda H.; Gross-Davis, Carol Ann; Burstyn, Igor","Kondo, Michelle C.

We develop geoscience-derived estimates of PM2.5 composition from a chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) and satellite observations of aerosol optical depth, and statistically fuse these estimates with ground-based observations using a geographically weighted regression over North America to produce a spatially complete representation of sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, black carbon, organic matter, mineral dust, and sea-salt over 2000-2016. Significant long-term agreement is found with cross-validation sites over North America (R2 = 0.57-0.96), with the strongest agreement for sulfate (R2 = 0.96), nitrate (R2 = 0.90), and ammonium (R2 = 0.86). We find that North American decreases in population-weighted fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations since 2000 have been most heavily influenced by regional changes in sulfate and organic matter. Regionally, the relative importance of several chemical components are found to change with PM2.5 concentration, such as higher PM2.5 concentrations having a larger proportion of nitrate and a smaller proportion of sulfate.

In contrast, summertime-mean PM2.5 in the western US has not significantly decreased. Wildfires, a large source of summertime PM2.5 in the western US, have been increasing in frequency and burned area in recent decades. Increases in extreme PM2.5 events attributable to wildland fires have been observed in wildfire-prone regions, but it is unclear how these increases impact trends in seasonal-mean PM2.5. Using two distinct methods, (1) interpolated surface observations combined with satellite-based smoke plume estimates and (2) the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model (CTM), we identify recent trends (2006-2016) in summer smoke, nonsmoke, and total PM2.5 across the US. We observe significant decreases in nonsmoke influenced PM2.5 in the western US and find increases in summer-mean smoke PM2.5 in fire-prone regions, although these are not statistically significant due to large interannual variability in the abundance of smoke. These results indicate that without the influence of wildland fires, we would expect to have observed improvements in summer fine particle pollution in the western US but likely weaker improvements than those observed in the eastern US.",This work was supported by NASA project number NNX15AG35G.,,Environmental Science and Technology,,,American Chemical Society (ACS),"0013-936X, 1520-5851",Air Pollutants; Fires; Particulate Matter; Smoke; United States; Wildfires,2019-01-25,2019,2019-01-25,2019-02-19,53,4,1797-1804,Closed,Article,Research Article,"O’Dell, Katelyn; Ford, Bonne; Fischer, Emily V.; Pierce, Jeffrey R.","O’Dell, Katelyn (Department of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University, 200 West Lake Street, 1371 Campus Delivery, Fort Collins, Colorado, 80523, United States); Ford, Bonne (Department of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University, 200 West Lake Street, 1371 Campus Delivery, Fort Collins, Colorado, 80523, United States); Fischer, Emily V.

Few large-scale studies have empirically examined this hypothesis. Here, we show that short-term exposure to more extreme weather, multiyear warming, and tropical cyclone exposure each associate with worsened mental health. To do so, we couple meteorological and climatic data with reported mental health difficulties drawn from nearly 2 million randomly sampled US residents between 2002 and 2012. We find that shifting from monthly temperatures between 25 °C and 30 °C to >30 °C increases the probability of mental health difficulties by 0.5% points, that 1°C of 5-year warming associates with a 2% point increase in the prevalence of mental health issues, and that exposure to Hurricane Katrina associates with a 4% point increase in this metric.

We compared measurement-based personal PM2.5 exposure with several measured or predicted estimates of outdoor, indoor, and personal exposures.ResultsThe mean personal 2-week exposure was 7.6 (standard deviation 3.7) µg/m3. Outdoor model predictions performed far better than outdoor concentrations estimated using a nearest-monitor approach (R = 0.63 versus R = 0.43). Incorporating infiltration indoors of ambient-derived PM2.5 provided better estimates of the measurement-based personal exposures than outdoor concentration predictions (R = 0.81 versus R = 0.63) and better scaling of estimated exposure (mean difference 0.4 versus 5.4 µg/m3 higher than measurements), suggesting there is value to collecting data regarding home infiltration. Incorporating individual-level time-location information into exposure predictions did not increase correlations with measurement-based personal exposures (R = 0.80) in our sample consisting primarily of retired persons.ConclusionsThis analysis demonstrates the importance of incorporating infiltration when estimating individual exposure to ambient air pollution. Spatio-temporal models provide substantial improvement in exposure estimation over a nearest monitor approach.","This publication was developed under a STAR research assistance agreement, No. RD831697 (MESA Air), awarded by the U.S Environmental Protection Agency.

In particular, it is unknown whether the rate of suicide, a leading cause of death globally, is systematically affected by climatic conditions. Using comprehensive data from multiple decades for both the United States and Mexico, we find that suicide rates rise 0.7% in US counties and 2.1% in Mexican municipalities for a 1 °C increase in monthly average temperature. This effect is similar in hotter versus cooler regions and has not diminished over time, indicating limited historical adaptation. Analysis of depressive language in >600 million social media updates further suggests that mental well-being deteriorates during warmer periods. We project that unmitigated climate change (RCP8.5) could result in a combined 9–40 thousand additional suicides (95% confidence interval) across the United States and Mexico by 2050, representing a change in suicide rates comparable to the estimated impact of economic recessions, suicide prevention programmes or gun restriction laws.","M.B., S.H.N. and S.B. thank the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment for partial funding.

Systematic reviews conclude that a positive association exists between exposure to wildfire smoke or wildfire particulate matter (PM2.5) and all-cause mortality and respiratory morbidity. Respiratory morbidity includes asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis and pneumonia. The epidemiological data linking wildfire smoke exposure to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity is mixed, and inconclusive. More studies are needed to define the risk for common and costly clinical cardiovascular outcomes. Susceptible populations include people with respiratory and possibly cardiovascular diseases, middle-aged and older adults, children, pregnant women and the fetus. The increasing frequency of large wildland fires, the expansion of the wildland-urban interface, the area between unoccupied land and human development; and an increasing and aging U.S. population are increasing the number of people at-risk from wildfire smoke, thus highlighting the necessity for broadening stakeholder cooperation to address the health effects of wildfire. While much is known, many questions remain and require further population-based, clinical and occupational health research. Health effects measured over much wider geographical areas and for longer periods time will better define the risk for adverse health outcomes, identify the sensitive populations and assess the influence of social factors on the relationship between exposure and health outcomes. Improving exposure models and access to large clinical databases foreshadow improved risk analysis facilitating more effective risk management. Fuel and smoke management remains an important component for protecting population health. Improved smoke forecasting and translation of environmental health science into communication of actionable information for use by public health officials, healthcare professionals and the public is needed to motivate behaviors that lower exposure and protect public health, particularly among those at high risk.","The review was supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Research and Development.",,The Science of The Total Environment,,,Elsevier,"0048-9697, 1879-1026",Air Pollutants; Environmental Exposure; Humans; Particulate Matter; Public Health; Smoke; Wildfires,2017-12-27,2017,2017-12-27,2018-05,624,,586-595,All OA; Green,Article,Research Article,"Cascio, Wayne E.","Cascio, Wayne E.

We use modeled climate projections to estimate the contribution of anthropogenic climate change to observed increases in eight fuel aridity metrics and forest fire area across the western United States. Anthropogenic increases in temperature and vapor pressure deficit significantly enhanced fuel aridity across western US forests over the past several decades and, during 2000-2015, contributed to 75% more forested area experiencing high (>1 σ) fire-season fuel aridity and an average of nine additional days per year of high fire potential. Anthropogenic climate change accounted for ∼55% of observed increases in fuel aridity from 1979 to 2015 across western US forests, highlighting both anthropogenic climate change and natural climate variability as important contributors to increased wildfire potential in recent decades. We estimate that human-caused climate change contributed to an additional 4.2 million ha of forest fire area during 1984-2015, nearly doubling the forest fire area expected in its absence. Natural climate variability will continue to alternate between modulating and compounding anthropogenic increases in fuel aridity, but anthropogenic climate change has emerged as a driver of increased forest fire activity and should continue to do so while fuels are not limiting.","We thank J.

A multidisciplinary renaissance of quantitative empirical research is illuminating important linkages in the coupled climate-human system. We highlight key methodological innovations and results describing effects of climate on health, economics, conflict, migration, and demographics. Because of persistent ""adaptation gaps,"" current climate conditions continue to play a substantial role in shaping modern society, and future climate changes will likely have additional impact. For example, we compute that temperature depresses current U.S. maize yields by ~48%, warming since 1980 elevated conflict risk in Africa by ~11%, and future warming may slow global economic growth rates by ~0.28 percentage points per year. In general, we estimate that the economic and social burden of current climates tends to be comparable in magnitude to the additional projected impact caused by future anthropogenic climate changes. Overall, findings from this literature point to climate as an important influence on the historical evolution of the global economy, they should inform how we respond to modern climatic conditions, and they can guide how we predict the consequences of future climate changes.","We thank P.

Smoke pollution, in particular, from either prescribed burns or uncontrolled wildfires, can have significant health impacts. Some estimates suggest that smoke dispersion from fire events may affect the health of one in three residents in the United States, leading to an increased incidence of respiratory illnesses such as asthma and pulmonary disease. Scarcity in the measurements of particulate matter responsible for these public health issues makes addressing the problem of smoke dispersion challenging, especially when fires occur in remote regions. Crowdsourced data have become an essential component in addressing other societal problems (e.g., disaster relief, traffic congestion) but its utility in monitoring air quality impacts of wildfire events is unexplored. In this study, we assessed if user-generated social media content can be used as a complementary source of data in measuring particulate pollution from wildfire smoke. We found that the frequency of daily tweets within a 40,000 km2 area was a significant predictor of PM2.5 levels, beyond daily and geographic variation. These results suggest that social media can be a valuable tool for the measurement of air quality impacts of wildfire events, particularly in the absence of data from physical monitoring stations. Also, an analysis of the semantic content in people’s tweets provided insight into the socio-psychological dimensions of fire and smoke and their impact on people residing in, working in, or otherwise engaging with affected areas.",,,Information Communication & Society,,,Taylor & Francis,"1369-118X, 1468-4462",,2016-08-16,2016,2016-08-16,2017-08-03,20,8,1146-1161,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Sachdeva, Sonya; McCaffrey, Sarah; Locke, Dexter","Sachdeva, Sonya (US Forest Service, Evanston, IL, USA); McCaffrey, Sarah (US Forest Service, Evanston, IL, USA); Locke, Dexter (Graduate School of Geography, Clark University, Worcester, MA, USA)","Sachdeva, Sonya (US Forest Service)","Sachdeva, Sonya (US Forest Service); McCaffrey, Sarah (US Forest Service); Locke, Dexter (Clark University)",US Forest Service; Clark University,grid.472551.0; grid.254277.1,Washington D.C.; Worcester,District of Columbia; Massachusetts,United States; United States,,,,,,40,6,,12.13,526,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1038849021,"46 Information and Computing Sciences; 4609 Information Systems; 47 Language, Communication and Culture; 4701 Communication and Media Studies",Climate-Related Exposures and Conditions; Clinical Research; Lung; Social Determinants of Health,Respiratory,,,,"A02 Public Health, Health Services and Primary Care",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

While the potential impacts of climate change on wildfires and resulting air pollution have been studied, it is not known who will be most affected by the growing threat of wildfires. Identifying communities that will be most affected will inform development of fire management strategies and disaster preparedness programs. We estimate levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) directly attributable to wildfires in 561 western US counties during fire seasons for the present-day (2004–2009) and future (2046–2051), using a fire prediction model and GEOS-Chem, a 3-D global chemical transport model. Future estimates are obtained under a scenario of moderately increasing greenhouse gases by mid-century. We create a new term “Smoke Wave,” defined as ≥2 consecutive days with high wildfire-specific PM2.5, to describe episodes of high air pollution from wildfires. We develop an interactive map to demonstrate the counties likely to suffer from future high wildfire pollution events. For 2004–2009, on days exceeding regulatory PM2.5 standards, wildfires contributed an average of 71.3 % of total PM2.5. Under future climate change, we estimate that more than 82 million individuals will experience a 57 % and 31 % increase in the frequency and intensity, respectively, of Smoke Waves. Northern California, Western Oregon and the Great Plains are likely to suffer the highest exposure to widlfire smoke in the future. Results point to the potential health impacts of increasing wildfire activity on large numbers of people in a warming climate and the need to establish or modify US wildfire management and evacuation programs in high-risk regions. The study also adds to the growing literature arguing that extreme events in a changing climate could have significant consequences for human health.","We received funding support from NIH/NIEHS R21 ES022585-01 (Dominici); NIH R01 ES019560 (Peng); NIH R21 ES020152 (Peng); NIH R21 ES024012 (Zanobetti); NIH R21 ES021427 (Bell); NIH/NIEHS R01 ES024332 (Zanobetti), and the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies.",,Climatic Change,,,Springer Nature,"0165-0009, 1573-1480",,2016-07-30,2016,2016-07-30,2016-10,138,3-4,655-666,All OA; Green,Article,Research Article,"Liu, Jia Coco; Mickley, Loretta J.; Sulprizio, Melissa P.; Dominici, Francesca; Yue, Xu; Ebisu, Keita; Anderson, Georgiana Brooke; Khan, Rafi F.

We estimated exposure to PM2.5 for each day using an exposure prediction model created through data-adaptive machine learning methods from a large set of spatiotemporal data sets. We then used Poisson generalized estimating equations to calculate the effect of exposure to 24-hour average PM2.5 on cardiovascular and respiratory hospitalizations and ED visits. We further assessed effect modification by sex, age, and area-level socioeconomic status (SES). We observed a linear increase in risk for asthma hospitalizations (RR=1.07, 95% CI=(1.05, 1.10) per 5µg/m(3) increase) and asthma ED visits (RR=1.06, 95% CI=(1.05, 1.07) per 5µg/m(3) increase) with increasing PM2.5 during the wildfires. ED visits for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were associated with PM2.5 during the fires (RR=1.02 (95% CI=(1.01, 1.04) per 5µg/m(3) increase) and this effect was significantly different from that found before the fires but not after. We did not find consistent effects of wildfire smoke on other health outcomes. The effect of PM2.5 during the wildfire period was more pronounced in women compared to men and in adults, ages 20-64, compared to children and adults 65 or older. We also found some effect modification by area-level median income for respiratory ED visits during the wildfires, with the highest effects observed in the ZIP codes with the lowest median income.

,pub.1033852414,10.1289/ehp.1409277,27082891,PMC5010409,,Critical Review of Health Impacts of Wildfire Smoke Exposure,"BACKGROUND: Wildfire activity is predicted to increase in many parts of the world due to changes in temperature and precipitation patterns from global climate change. Wildfire smoke contains numerous hazardous air pollutants and many studies have documented population health effects from this exposure.
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess the evidence of health effects from exposure to wildfire smoke and to identify susceptible populations.
METHODS: We reviewed the scientific literature for studies of wildfire smoke exposure on mortality and on respiratory, cardiovascular, mental, and perinatal health. Within those reviewed papers deemed to have minimal risk of bias, we assessed the coherence and consistency of findings.
DISCUSSION: Consistent evidence documents associations between wildfire smoke exposure and general respiratory health effects, specifically exacerbations of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Growing evidence suggests associations with increased risk of respiratory infections and all-cause mortality. Evidence for cardiovascular effects is mixed, but a few recent studies have reported associations for specific cardiovascular end points. Insufficient research exists to identify specific population subgroups that are more susceptible to wildfire smoke exposure.
CONCLUSIONS: Consistent evidence from a large number of studies indicates that wildfire smoke exposure is associated with respiratory morbidity with growing evidence supporting an association with all-cause mortality. More research is needed to clarify which causes of mortality may be associated with wildfire smoke, whether cardiovascular outcomes are associated with wildfire smoke, and if certain populations are more susceptible.

Internet data have clear advantages over survey data in terms of cost, availability and frequency. These advantages have led the media and some researchers to use Internet search data as proxies for public opinion. However, these analyses do not present systematic evidence that search data tell us about the general public's views rather than those of an unrepresentative subset. This article outlines a general method for assessing the validity of search data against existing measures, including content validity and criterion validity. To this end, weekly Google search data are tested against Gallup's “most important problem” question. The article finds the salience of four issues, fuel prices, the economy, immigration and terrorism, can be measured in the United States using search data. Weekly measures of issue salience are generated for these issues, from 2004 to 2010, for empirical analysis.

Failure to account for variation in residential infiltration efficiencies (F(inf)) will affect epidemiologic study results.
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to develop models to predict F(inf) for > 6,000 homes in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis and Air Pollution (MESA Air), a prospective cohort study of PM(2.5) exposure, subclinical cardiovascular disease, and clinical outcomes.
METHODS: We collected 526 two-week, paired indoor-outdoor PM(2.5) filter samples from a subset of study homes. PM(2.5) elemental composition was measured by X-ray fluorescence, and F(inf) was estimated as the indoor/outdoor sulfur ratio. We regressed F(inf) on meteorologic variables and questionnaire-based predictors in season-specific models. Models were evaluated using the R² and root mean square error (RMSE) from a 10-fold cross-validation.
RESULTS: The mean ± SD F(inf) across all communities and seasons was 0.62 ± 0.21, and community-specific means ranged from 0.47 ± 0.15 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to 0.82 ± 0.14 in New York, New York. F(inf) was generally greater during the warm (> 18°C) season. Central air conditioning (AC) use, frequency of AC use, and window opening frequency were the most important predictors during the warm season; outdoor temperature and forced-air heat were the best cold-season predictors. The models predicted 60% of the variance in 2-week F(inf), with an RMSE of 0.13.
CONCLUSIONS: We developed intuitive models that can predict F(inf) using easily obtained variables. Using these models, MESA Air will be the first large epidemiologic study to incorporate variation in residential F(inf) into an exposure assessment.","We are grateful to the MESA Air study participants and field technicians.

This paper aims to provide an up-to-date revision for both experiment and modeling on relationship between indoor and outdoor particles. The use of three different parameters: indoor/outdoor (I/O) ratio, infiltration factor and penetration factor, to assess the relationship between indoor and outdoor particles were reviewed. The experimental data of the three parameters measured both in real houses and laboratories were summarized and analyzed. The I/O ratios vary considerably due to the difference in size-dependent indoor particle emission rates, the geometry of the cracks in building envelopes, and the air exchange rates. Thus, it is difficult to draw uniform conclusions as detailed information, which make I/O ratio hardly helpful for understanding the indoor/outdoor relationship. Infiltration factor represents the equilibrium fraction of ambient particles that penetrates indoors and remains suspended, which avoids the mixture with indoor particle sources. Penetration factor is the most relevant parameter for the particle penetration mechanism through cracks and leaks in the building envelope. We investigate the methods used in previously published studies to both measure and model the infiltration and penetration factors. We also discuss the application of the penetration factor models and provide recommendations for improvement.","This study was sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 51078216) supported by Tsinghua University Initiative Scientific Research Program and also supported by Program for New Century Excellent Talents in University (NCET-07-0502), China.",,Atmospheric Environment,,,Elsevier,"1352-2310, 1873-2844",,2011-01,2011,,2011-01,45,2,275-288,Closed,Article,Review Article,"Chen, Chun; Zhao, Bin","Chen, Chun (Department of Building Science, School of Architecture, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China); Zhao, Bin (Department of Building Science, School of Architecture, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China)","Zhao, Bin (Tsinghua University)","Chen, Chun (Tsinghua University); Zhao, Bin (Tsinghua University)",Tsinghua University,grid.12527.33,Beijing,Beijing,China,National Natural Science Foundation of China; Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China,,China; China,grant.4998194,51078216,784,140,,65.74,28,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1043247119,37 Earth Sciences; 3701 Atmospheric Sciences; 3702 Climate Change Science; 40 Engineering; 4011 Environmental Engineering,,,,,,B12 Engineering,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

,pub.1154599964,10.1002/aws2.1318,,,,The Marshall Fire: Scientific and policy needs for water system disaster response,"Abstract   The 2021 Marshall Fire was the costliest fire in Colorado's history and destroyed more than 1,000 homes and businesses. The disaster displaced over 40,000 people and damaged six public drinking water systems. A case study was developed to better understand decisions, resources, expertise, and response limitations during and after the wildfire. The fire caused all water systems to lose power. Power loss was sometimes coupled with structure destruction, distribution depressurization, and the failure of backup power systems. These consequences jeopardized fire‐fighting support and allowed for volatile organic compound and semi‐volatile organic compound contamination of water distribution systems. Water system staff, with help from neighboring systems and external technical experts, stabilized the infrastructure, found and removed the contamination, and restored services. Actions were identified for utilities, governments, and researchers that could help communities minimize wildfire impacts, better protect workers and the population, and enable water systems to more rapidly respond and recover.","ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Special thanks are extended to the City of Louisville (Kurt Kowar, Justin Ferron, Cory Peterson, Greg Venette, Jill Fischer), the Town of Superior (Alex Arinello, David Lewis, Jim Widner), the City of Lafayette (Scott Pavlik, Callie Hayden), and EBCWD (Mark Johns, Marsh Lavenue).

More than 20 post‐fire drinking water well guidance documents with varied recommendations were found. Approximately 227 wells were located in the fire footprint. Seventeen properties were visited, and a subset of wells were sampled for organic and inorganic contaminants. Property debris was also collected. Benzene, toluene, and 19 semi‐volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) were detected in water extracts of property debris. No wells contained volatile organic compound contamination. Two shallow wells (12 and 15 ft) had debris contamination; one well contained notable SVOC contamination. One multi‐home unregulated well system was extensively damaged, lost pressure, and had not been repressurized 11 months after the fire due to financial and technical challenges. Study results highlight the need for follow‐up work to understand well system damage and household response.","ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Funding to Purdue University was provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) RAPID CBET‐2214580.

,pub.1129644496,10.1002/aws2.1183,,,,Wildfire caused widespread drinking water distribution network contamination,"Abstract The Tubbs Fire (2017) and Camp Fire (2018) are the first known wildfires where widespread drinking water chemical contamination was discovered in the water distribution network and not in the source water after the fire. In both disasters, drinking water exceeded state and federal government‐defined exposure limits for several volatile organic compound (VOC) contaminants (e.g., benzene at 40,000 µg/L [Tubbs] and >2,217 µg/L [Camp]). This work outlines factors that influence wildfire‐induced drinking water quality threats based on the findings from these two fires and explores related scientific and policy issues. For example, certain plastics in the network may serve as a primary VOC source through in situ plastic pyrolysis. Depressurization of the distribution network likely transported contaminated water that subsequently contaminated undamaged infrastructure. As wildfires at the wildland–urban interface are likely to occur more frequently, greater scientific evidence is needed to guide agency responses that will better protect public health.","ACKNOWLEDGMENT This study was funded by Purdue University, and some activities were supported by two contracts with PID.

,pub.1072532800,10.4996/fireecology.0402063,,,,Responses in Bird Communities to Wildland Fires in Southern California,"There is a growing body of literature covering the responses of bird species to wildland fire events. Our study was unique among these because we investigated the effects of large-scale wildland fires on entire bird communities across multiple vegetation types. We conducted avian point counts during the breeding seasons for two years before and two years after the Cedar and Otay Fires in 2003 in southern California. Our balanced sampling effort took place at two sites, one low-elevation and one high-elevation, each containing replicate stations (burned and unburned) within five vegetation types: chaparral, coastal sage scrub, grassland, oak woodland, and riparian. Although fire caused some degree of change in the vegetation structure at all of our impacted survey points, we found that the post-fire shrub and tree cover was significantly lower in only two of the vegetation types within the low-elevation site, coastal sage scrub and chaparral. We found no significant changes in cover at the high-elevation site. Using univariate and multivariate analyses, we tested whether the fires were associated with a change in bird species diversity, community structure, and the relative abundance of individuals within a species. We found that species diversity changed in only one circumstance: it increased in coastal sage scrub at the low-elevation site. Multivariate analyses revealed significant differences in the post-fire bird community structure in the low-elevation chaparral, low-elevation coastal sage scrub, and the high-elevation grassland communities. Vegetation characteristics altered by fire, such as decreases in shrub and tree cover, influenced the changes we observed in the bird communities. The relative abundance of some species (lazuli bunting [Passerina amoena] and horned lark [Eremophila alpestris]) significantly increased after the fires, while other species declined significantly (Anna’s hummingbird [Calypte anna], wrentit [Chamaea fasciata], and bushtit [Psaltriparus minimus]). We detected mixed results for the spotted towhee (Pipilo maculatus), which increased in burned chaparral and declined in burned coastal sage scrub within the low-elevation site. We suggest that the observed responses of birds to these fires may be attributed to: (1) the availability of nearby unburned refugia, (2) the continued suitability of post-fire vegetation at the study sites, and (3) the generally high mobility of this taxon.","Special gratitude goes to M.

,pub.1005783260,10.1016/j.foreco.2011.07.010,,,,Estimation of area burned by forest fires in Mediterranean countries: A remote sensing data mining perspective,"Forest fires throughout the world result in tree mortality that can cause substantial timber and carbon losses. There is a critical need to map the areas burned by such fires to guide forest management decisions. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite imagery provides inexpensive and frequent coverage over large areas, facilitating forest health monitoring. In this study a MODIS post-fire image at a spatial resolution of 250m serves as the starting point of an image mining based method. It involves three algorithms: modeling as a sum of Gaussian functions, kernel based smoothing, and adaptive thresholding. Adaptive thresholding serves as the reference to be compared to the image mining based method. Three spectral indices specifically designed for burned area identification have been used: the Burned Area Index (BAI), the Burned Area Index adapted to MODIS bands (BAIM), and the Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR). The κ statistic is applied to quantify the accuracy of the burned areas estimations by relating the estimated area with burned area perimeters measured on the ground by Global Positioning System (GPS). In addition, the κ statistic allows us to identify both the optimal spectral index and the optimal algorithms’ parameters. In this work, an accurate estimation (κ>0.8) of areas burned by forest fires in Mediterranean countries is achieved, in particular if the BAIM index is used. The accuracy of these estimates is compared with the accuracy obtained by using the reference method by a McNemar’s test. Results show that our image mining based method allows a higher accuracy (the average increase of κ equals to 16%) than the reference method. We conclude that this method adequately maps burned areas, and that it may help management agencies to better understand of landscape-scale burn patterns.",AcknowledgmentC. Quintano and A.

,pub.1023693090,10.1016/j.envsoft.2011.03.012,,,,Fire weather risk assessment under climate change using a dynamical downscaling approach,"Results from general circulation models suggest that the increase of forest fire activity at the global scale will be one of the impacts of climate change. As attention shifts to regional climate further spatial resolution is needed to handle the forcings and circulations that occur at smaller scales. One of the available techniques to assess the impact of climate change on fire activity at the regional scale is the dynamical downscaling between global climate models and regional models.In the present work, the impact of climate change on fire danger at the regional scale was examined by means of dynamical downscaling between a general circulation model (MUGCM) and a regional meteorological model (MM5). A Southern European country, Portugal, was selected as case-study since general circulation models predict significant surface air temperature increases over Southern and Mediterranean Europe.Present and future climates, centred in 1990 and 2050, respectively, were obtained using daily data previously simulated by MUGCM. Climate change signals on temperature and precipitation derived from the MUGCM ensemble simulations were analysed using spatial averages over the Iberian Peninsula and cluster analysis applied over Portugal. For the Iberian Peninsula, a positive trend for temperature for all seasons, with higher variability for the winter months, was obtained. Over Portugal, for the future climate, the average winter temperature is expected to be higher. Precipitation increases are simulated for the end of autumn/beginning of winter, and negative changes are expected for the end of winter/beginning of spring and beginning of summer. The cluster analysis revealed important temporal changes on the meteorological variables which may be relevant for fire management planning, namely a longer fire season over Portugal is expected.The spatial refinement of the projected climate change impacts on the fire weather risk over Portugal was performed through numerical downscaling between MUGCM and MM5. The MM5 outputs, at 10 km resolution, were used to estimate the Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) System components. Results show higher FWI values in the beginning of summer for the 2050 scenario. An increase of the maximum values of the Drought Code (DC) in the inner part of Portugal was also detected. An increase in the total area burned is anticipated, with the consequent increase of pollutants emissions.","AcknowledgementsThe authors wish to thank the three reviewers for their constructive comments on the manuscript.

,pub.1005053012,10.5194/bgd-8-7339-2011,,,,Biomass burning emissions estimated with a global fire assimilation system based on observed fire radiative power,"The Global Fire Assimilation System (GFASv1.0) calculates biomass burning emissions by assimilating Fire Radiative Power (FRP) observations from the MODIS instruments onboard the Terra and Aqua satellites. It corrects for gaps in the observations, which are mostly due to cloud cover, and filters spurious FRP observations of volcanoes, gas flares and other industrial activity. The combustion rate is subsequently calculated with land cover-specific conversion factors. Emission factors for 40 gas-phase and aerosol trace species have been compiled from a literature survey. The corresponding daily emissions have been calculated on a global 0.5° × 0.5° grid from 2003 to the present. General consistency with the Global Fire Emission Database version 3.1 (GFED3.1) within its accuracy is achieved while maintaining the advantages of an FRP-based approach: GFASv1.0 makes use of the quantitative information on the combustion rate that is contained in the observations, and it detects fires in real time at high spatial and temporal resolution. GFASv1.0 indicates omission errors in GFED3.1 due to undetected small fires. It also exhibits slightly longer fire seasons in South America and North Africa and a slightly shorter fire season in Southeast Asia. GFASv1.0 has already been used for atmospheric reactive gas simulations in an independent study, which found good agreement with atmospheric observations. We have performed simulations of the atmospheric aerosol distribution with and without the assimilation of MODIS aerosol optical depth (AOD). They indicate that the emissions of particulate matter need to be boosted with a factor of 2–4 to reproduce the global distribution of organic matter and black carbon. This discrepancy is also evident in the comparison of previously published top-down and bottom-up estimates. For the time being, a global enhancement of the particulate matter emissions by 3.4 is recommended. Validation with independent AOD and PM10 observations recorded during the Russian fires in summer 2010 show that the global Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Change (MACC) aerosol model with GFASv1.0 aerosol emissions captures the smoke plume evolution well when organic matter and black carbon are enhanced by the recommended factor. In conjunction with the assimilation of MODIS AOD, the use of GFASv1.0 with enhanced emission factors quantitatively improves the forecast of the aerosol load near the surface sufficiently to allow air quality warnings with a lead time of up to four days.",,,EGUsphere,,,Copernicus Publications,,,2011-07-22,2011,2011-07-22,,8,4,7339-7398,All OA; Green,Preprint,Research Article,"Kaiser, J.

Climate and land use changes in the last decades have increased fire risk and danger. In this paper we review the available scientific knowledge on the relationships between landscape and wildfires in the Mediterranean region, with a focus on its application for defining landscape management guidelines and policies that could be adopted in order to promote landscapes with lower fire hazard. The main findings are that (1) socio-economic drivers have favoured land cover changes contributing to increasing fire hazard in the last decades, (2) large wildfires are becoming more frequent, (3) increased fire frequency is promoting homogeneous landscapes covered by fire-prone shrublands; (4) landscape planning to reduce fuel loads may be successful only if fire weather conditions are not extreme. The challenges to address these problems and the policy and landscape management responses that should be adopted are discussed, along with major knowledge gaps.","AcknowledgementsThis study was carried out under the scope of COST Action FP0701 “Post-fire forest management in southern Europe” and the PHOENIX network of the European Forest Institute.

Fire managers need the ability to identify, in real time, the likelihood that wildfire will affect valuable developed and natural resources (e.g., private structures, public infrastructure, and natural and cultural resources). These determinations help guide where and when aggressive suppression is required to protect values and when fire may be allowed to burn to enhance ecosystem conditions. This article describes the primary components of the Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS), a geospatial decision support system developed by the US Forest Service. WFDSS provides state-of-the-art wildfire risk analysis, decision documentation, and long-term implementation planning. In particular, we describe how the two primary decision support analysis components of WFDSS, Fire Spread Probability (fire behavior) and Rapid Assessment of Values at Risk (resource assessment), fit into the current state of risk assessment tools for wildfire suppression decisionmaking.",,,Journal of Forestry,,,Springer Nature,"0022-1201, 1938-3746",,2011-07-01,2011,,2011-07-01,109,5,274-280,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Calkin, David E.; Thompson, Matthew P.; Finney, Mark A.; Hyde, Kevin D.","Calkin, David E.

In this study, analysis of a time-series of satellite images for the period 1973–2005 showed that repeated, extensive fires, following drainage and selective logging, played an important role in land-cover dynamics and forest loss in the peatlands of Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. A study of peatlands in the former Mega Rice Project area revealed a rising trend in the rate of deforestation and identified fire as the principal factor influencing subsequent vegetation succession. A step change in fire regime was identified, with an increase in burned area and fire frequency following peatland drainage. During the 23-year pre-Mega Rice Project period (1973–1996), peat swamp forest was the most extensive land-cover class and fires were of relatively limited extent, with very few repeated fires. During the 9-year post-Mega Rice Project period (1997–2005), there was a 72% fire-related loss in area of peat swamp forest, with most converted to non-woody vegetation, dominated by ferns or mosaics of trees and non-woody vegetation, rather than cultivated land.","We acknowledge Disasters Monitoring Constellation International Imaging Ltd (DMCii) for providing satellite images.

,pub.1039556774,10.1016/j.landurbplan.2011.03.001,,,,Wildfires as a major driver of landscape dynamics in three fire-prone areas of Portugal,"Wildfires are a common event in Mediterranean landscapes. We assessed the implications of wildfires on the landscape dynamics of three fire-prone areas of Central and Northern Portugal during a time period of 13–15years, starting in 1990. Using an information-theoretical approach and probability analysis, we assessed the relative importance of fire and initial land cover on the overall landscape dynamics. We further explored the role of fire on specific land cover dynamics by building transition matrices separately for burned and unburned areas. Finally we simulated future landscapes using the transition matrices to project landscape composition, according to a Markovian process. Fire had a determinant role in the landscape changes observed in the three study areas, as it favored shrubland persistence and the conversion of other land cover types to shrublands and mixed forests. The effect of fire on land cover dynamics could be explained mainly by post-fire vegetation responses due to land abandonment, but human-driven changes were also an important influence on land cover dynamics. In the long term, the current landscape dynamics would result in an increase in landscape diversity. When compared with this projection, either a scenario without fire or a complete periodic burn of the study areas, would result in lower landscape diversity. Comparing the two opposite scenarios, the latter would reduce the proportion of agriculture, while increasing the proportion of shrublands and unmanaged mixed forests of exotic and native species, therefore leading to an increase of fire hazard and to less sustainable landscapes.","AcknowledgmentsThe research work described in this paper was produced by projects: PHOENIX (contract POCI/AGR/58896/2004), funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT); Recuperação de Áreas Ardidas funded by Fundo Florestal Permanente – IFAP (contract 2004 09 002629 7); and FireReg (contract PTDC/AGR-CFL/099420/2008) funded by FCT.

,pub.1019504870,10.5194/bgd-8-4559-2011,,,,Modelling post-fire vegetation recovery in Portugal,"Wildfires in Mediterranean Europe have been increasing in number and extension over the last decades and constitute one of the major disturbances of these ecosystems. Portugal is the country with more burnt area in the last decade and the years of 2003 and 2005 were particularly devastating, the total burned areas of 425 000 and 338 000 ha being several times higher than the corresponding average. The year of 2005 further coincided with one of the most severe droughts since early 20th century. Due to different responses of vegetation to diverse fire regimes and to the complexity of landscape structures, fires have complex effects on vegetation recovery. Remote sensing has revealed to be a powerful tool in studying vegetation dynamics and in monitoring post-fire vegetation recovery, which is crucial to land-management and to prevent erosion. The main goals of the present work are (i) to assess the accuracy of a vegetation recovery model previously developed by the authors; (ii) to assess the model's performance, namely its sensitivity to initial conditions, to the temporal length of the input dataset and to missing data; (iii) to study vegetation recovery over two selected areas that were affected by two large wildfire events in the fire seasons of 2003 and 2005, respectively. The study relies on monthly values of NDVI over 11 yr (1998–2009), at 1 × 1 km spatial resolution, as obtained by the VEGETATION instrument. According to results from sensitivity analysis, the model is robust and able to provide good estimations of recovery times of vegetation when the regeneration process is regular, even when missing data is present. In what respect to the two selected burnt scars, results indicate that fire damage is a determinant factor of regeneration, as less damaged vegetation recovers more rapidly, which is mainly justified by the high coverage of Pinus Pinaster over the area, and by the fact that coniferous forests tend to recover slower than transitional woodland-shrub, which tend to dominate the areas following the fire event.",,,EGUsphere,,,Copernicus Publications,,,2011-05-09,2011,2011-05-09,,8,3,4559-4601,All OA; Green,Preprint,Research Article,"Bastos, A.; Gouveia, C.; DaCamara, C.

The proposed algorithm is based on two phases: the first one intends to detect the more severely burned areas and minimize commission errors. The second phase improves burned patches delimitation using a hybrid contextual algorithm based on logistic regression analysis, and tries to minimize omission errors. The algorithm was calibrated using six study sites and it was validated for the whole territory of Portugal (89,000km2) and for Southern California (70,000km2). In the validation exercise, 65 TM/ETM+ scenes for Portugal and 35 for California were used, all from the 2003 fire season. A good agreement with the official burned area perimeters was shown, with kappa values close to 0.85 and low omission and commission errors (<16.5%). The proposed algorithm could be operationally used for historical mapping of burned areas from Landsat images, as well as from future medium resolution sensors, providing they acquire images in two bands of the Short Wave Infrared (1.5–2.2μm).",,,Remote Sensing of Environment,,,Elsevier,"0034-4257, 1879-0704",,2011-04-15,2011,,2011-04-15,115,4,1003-1012,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Bastarrika, Aitor; Chuvieco, Emilio; Martín, M.

The modeling system was applied to each of 134 Fire Planning Units (FPUs) to estimate burn probabilities and fire size distributions. To obtain stable estimates of these quantities, fire ignition and growth was simulated for 10,000 to 50,000 “years” of artificial weather. The fire growth simulations, when run repeatedly with different weather and ignition locations, produce burn probabilities and fire behavior distributions at each landscape location (e.g., number of times a “cell” burns at a given intensity divided by the total years). The artificial weather was generated for each land unit using (1) a fire danger rating index known as the Energy Release Component (ERC) which is a proxy for fuel moisture contents, (2) a time-series analysis of ERC to represent daily and seasonal variability, and (3) distributions of wind speed and direction from weather records. Large fire occurrence was stochastically modeled based on historical relationships to ERC. The simulations also required spatial data on fuel structure and topography which were acquired from the LANDFIRE project (http://www.landfire.gov). Fire suppression effects were represented by a statistical model that yields a probability of fire containment based on independent predictors of fire growth rates and fuel type. The simulated burn probabilities were comparable to observed patterns across the U.S. over the range of four orders of magnitude, generally falling within a factor of 3 or 4 of historical estimates. Close agreement between simulated and historical fire size distributions suggest that fire sizes are determined by the joint distributions of spatial opportunities for fire growth (dependent on fuels and ignition location) and the temporal opportunities produced by conducive weather sequences. The research demonstrates a practical approach to using fire simulations at very broad scales for purposes of operational planning and perhaps ecological research.","The authors are indebted to Brent Timothy, Jim Hutton, Stu Bedoll, Tom Quigley, and Danny Lee for their hard work and dedication to developing and operating the simulation system.

This risk has been increasing under the impact of climate change, and in summer 2007 approximately 200,000 ha of vegetated land were burnt. The SEVIRI sensor, on board the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) geostationary satellite, is the only spaceborne sensor providing five and 15-minute observations of Europe in 12 spectral channels, including a short-wave infrared band sensitive to fire radiative temperature. In August 2007, when the bulk of the destructive wildfires started in Greece, the receiving station, operated by the Institute for Space Applications and Remote Sensing, provided us with a time series of MSG-SEVIRI images. These images were processed in order to test the reliability of a real‑time detection and tracking system and its complementarity to conventional means provided by the Fire Brigade. EUMETSAT’s Active Fire Monitoring (FIR) image processing algorithm for fire detection and monitoring was applied to SEVIRI data, then fine-tuned according to Greek conditions, and evaluated. Alarm announcements from the Fire Brigade’s archives were used as ground truthing data in order to assess detection reliability and system performance. During the examined period, MSG-SEVIRI data successfully detected 82% of the fire events in Greek territory with less than 1% false alarms.",,,Remote Sensing,,,MDPI,2072-4292,,2011-03-09,2011,2011-03-09,,3,3,524-538,All OA; Gold,Article,Research Article,"Sifakis, Nicolaos I.; Iossifidis, Christos; Kontoes, Charalabos; Keramitsoglou, Iphigenia","Sifakis, Nicolaos I.

In this paper we characterise the patterns of wildfire occurrence in 3 regions of northern Portugal, using selection ratio functions to evaluate the fire proneness of different land cover and topographic categories. For attaining this objective we characterised 1382 wildfires larger than 5ha, which occurred in the years 1990–1991, according to land cover (10 categories), slope (5 categories) and aspect (5 categories) within which they occurred. For each fire, the use of the different land cover and topographic categories was compared with availability in a surrounding buffer. For land cover, fire proneness was much higher in shrublands, whereas agricultural areas and agro-forestry systems where less likely to burn. In terms of slope, steep slopes were more prone to fire. Differences in land cover in the different slope categories contributed to this result, although there was an overall slope effect on the fire proneness of all land cover types. In terms of aspect, only flat areas were less fire prone. Finally, there were regional variations in land cover susceptibility to fire, but these did not occur for slope or aspect. In terms of landscape planning these results suggest that the more effective fuel breaks should be implemented in areas with agricultural crops in flat slopes.","AcknowledgmentsThis research was carried out within the scope of projects “FFP – Recuperação de áreas ardidas”, financed by IFADAP/INGA and FIRELAND (Project PTDC/AGR-CFL/104651/2008).

,pub.1038256731,10.1016/j.jag.2010.06.006,,,,A time-integrated MODIS burn severity assessment using the multi-temporal differenced normalized burn ratio (dNBRMT),"Burn severity is an important parameter in post-fire management. It incorporates both the direct fire impact (vegetation depletion) and ecosystem responses (vegetation regeneration). From a remote sensing perspective, burn severity is traditionally estimated using Landsat's differenced normalized burn ratio (dNBR). In this case study of the large 2007 Peloponnese (Greece) wildfires, Landsat dNBR estimates correlated reasonably well with Geo composite burn index (GeoCBI) field data of severity (R2=0.56). The usage of Landsat imagery is, however, restricted by cloud cover and image-to-image normalization constraints. Therefore a multi-temporal burn severity approach based on coarse spatial, high temporal resolution moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) imagery is presented in this study. The multi-temporal dNBR (dNBRMT) is defined as the 1-year integrated difference between burned pixels and their unique control pixels. These control pixels were selected based on time series similarity and spatial context and reflect how burned pixels would have behaved in the case no fire had occurred. Linear regression between downsampled Landsat dNBR and dNBRMT estimates resulted in a moderate-high coefficient of determination R2=0.54. dNBRMT estimates are indicative for the change in vegetation productivity due to the fire. This change is considerably higher for forests than for more sparsely vegetated areas like shrub lands. Although Landsat dNBR is superior for spatial detail, MODIS-derived dNBRMT estimates present a valuable alternative for burn severity mapping at continental to global scale without image availability constraints. This is beneficial to compare trends in burn severity across regions and time. Moreover, thanks to MODIS's repeated temporal sampling, the dNBRMT accounts for both first- and second-order fire effects.",AcknowledgementsThe study was financed by the Ghent University special research funds (BOF: Bijzonder Onderzoeksfonds).

,pub.1047200031,10.1016/j.geoderma.2010.10.004,,,,Mapping soil water holding capacity over large areas to predict potential production of forest stands,"Ecological studies require environmental descriptors to establish the response of species or communities to ecological conditions. The soil water resource is an important factor, but it is difficult for plant ecologists to use because of the lack of accessible data. We explored whether collecting a large number of plots with basic soil information within the framework of forest inventories would make it possible to map the soil water holding capacity (SWHC) with sufficient accuracy to predict tree species growth over large areas. We first compared the performance of the available pedotransfer functions (PTFs) and found significant differences in the SWHC prediction quality based on the PTFs selected. We also found that the most efficient class PTFs and continuous PTFs compared had similar performances. However, there was a significant reduction in efficiency when they were applied to soils that were different from those used to calibrate them. With a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 0.046cm3 cm-3 (n=227 horizons), we selected the Al Majou class PTFs to predict the SWHC in the soil horizons described in every plot. Thus, 84% of the measured SWHC variance have been explained in soils that were free of stones (n=63 plots). We then estimated the soil water holding capacity by integrating the stone content collected at the soil pit scale (SWHC') and both the stone content at the soil pit scale and rock outcrop at the plot scale (SWHC"") for the 100,307 forest plots recorded in France within the framework of forest inventories. The SWHC"" values were interpolated by kriging to produce a map with a 1-km² cell size, a wider resolution leading to a decrease in map accuracy. The SWHC"" values given by the map ranged from 0 to 148mm for soil down to a depth of 1m. The RMSE between the map values and plot estimates was 33.9mm for the entire France, with a prediction accuracy similar for a large range of scale, the best predictions being recorded for soils developed on marl, clay, and hollow silicate rocks, and in flat areas. Finally, the abilities of SWHC' and SWHC"" to predict height growth for Fagus sylvatica, Picea abies and Quercus petraea were investigated, and we found that the predictive ability of SWHC"" was much better than that of SWHC'. The SWHC"" values extracted from the map were significantly related to tree height growth. They explained 10.7% of the height growth index variance for Beech (Fagus sylvatica, n=866), 14.1% for Sessile oak (Quercus petraea, n=877), and 10.3% for Norway spruce (Picea abies, n=2067). These proportions of variance accounted by SWHC"" were close to those found for the SWHC"" values estimated from the plots (11.5, 11.7, and 18.6% for Fagus sylvatica, Quercus petraea, and Picea abies, respectively). We conclude that SWHC"" can be mapped with sufficient accuracy to predict species growth using basic soil parameters collected from inventories plots. Thus, the map could be used just as well for small areas as for large areas, directly or indirectly through water balance indices, to predict forest growth and thus production, today or in the future, in the context of an increasing drought period linked to a global change in climatic conditions.","AcknowledgementsWe are grateful to the GIP ECOFOR, who supported this work through the programme ‘Typologie des stations forestières’.

This work investigates the statistical relationship between temporal dynamics of fire events in Portugal and a set of socioeconomic, landscape, and climatic variables for the time periods of 1980–1990, 1991–2000, and extreme fires years. For 10 of 15 districts, it was possible to observe moderate shifts in the significance of fire drivers for the first two decadal periods. For others, pronounced changes of the significance of fire drivers were found across time. Results point toward a dynamic (perhaps highly non-linear) behavior of socioeconomic and landscape fire drivers, especially during the occurrence of extreme fire years of 2003 and 2005. At country level, population density alone explained 42% of the inter-annual and inter-district deviance in number of fires. At the same temporal and spatial scale, the explanatory power of temperature anomalies proved to explain 43% of area burnt. We highlight the necessity of including a broad set of socioeconomic and landscape fire drivers in order to account for potential significance shifts. In addition, although climate does trigger broad favorable fire conditions across Portugal mainland, socioeconomic and landscape factors proved to determine much of the complex fire patterns at a subnational scale.","L.

In this study, we assessed the fire characterization information provided by two major products: the Terra and Aqua MODIS Thermal Anomalies product (MOD14 and MYD14, respectively) and the Wildfire Automated Biomass Burning Algorithm (WF_ABBA) product derived from GOES East Imager. Using higher spatial resolution imagery data from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) instruments, we analyzed the characterization of subpixel fires detected by MOD14, MYD14, and WF_ABBA over parts of Brazilian Amazonia. Our results suggest that MODIS and GOES fire radiative power (FRP) estimates derived for individual fire‐pixel clusters are subject to errors due to the effects of the point spread function of those instruments (underestimation of up to 75%), improper fire background characterization (overestimation of up to 80% assuming a 10 K cold bias in background temperature), and omission of small fire lines. Detection limits were approximately 11 and 9 MW for MOD14 and MYD14, respectively, and were equivalent to 27 and 19 MW for WF_ABBA data acquired coincidently with MOD14 and MYD14, respectively. We found a positive correlation between FRP and percentage tree cover indicating that FRP is sensitive to biomass density. Fire area and temperature estimates derived from the application of Dozier's (1981) approach to GOES data did not agree with our reference data (i.e., ASTER and ETM+ active fire masks and in situ fire temperature data), suggesting that large and variable errors could affect the retrieval of those parameters.","This work was supported by NASA Headquarters under the Earth and Space Science Fellowship Program grant NNG05GP77H, NASA LBA‐Eco Phase III, and EOS/NPP programs.

,pub.1037328460,10.1175/2010ei349.1,,,,Mapping Burned Areas in a Mediterranean Environment Using Soft Integration of Spectral Indices from High-Resolution Satellite Images,"Abstract
                  This article presents a new method for burned area mapping using high-resolution satellite images in the Mediterranean ecosystem. In such a complex environment, high-resolution satellite images represent an appropriate data source for identifying fire-affected areas, and single postfire data are often the only available source of information. The method proposed here integrates several spectral indices into a fuzzy synthetic indicator of likelihood of burn. The indices are interpreted through fuzzy membership functions that have been derived with a partially data-driven approach exploiting training data and expert knowledge. The final map of fire-affected areas is produced by applying a region growing algorithm on the basis of seed pixels selected on a conservative threshold of the synthetic fuzzy score. The algorithm has been developed and tested on a set of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) scenes acquired over Southern Italy. Validation showed that the accuracy of the burned area maps is comparable or even better [overall accuracy (OA) > 90%, K > 0.76] than that obtained with approaches based on single index thresholds adapted to each image. The method described here provides an automatic approach for mapping fire-affected areas with very few false alarms (low commission error), whereas omission errors are mainly related to undetected small burned areas and are located in heterogeneous sparse vegetation cover.","The study was conducted with the support of the Italian Ministry of Environment, Department of Nature Protection in the framework of the project “Un sistema per il monitoraggio e la mappatura per le aree percorse da incendio nei parchi nazionali attraverso l’utilizzo dei dati da satellite.” The authors thank the Corpo Forestale dello Stato (CFS) for providing field data and discussing the results.

The analysis incorporated the optimality statistic, which evaluates index performance based on displacements in the mid-infrared–near infrared bi-spectral space. Results showed a higher correlation between field and TM data early post-fire (R2=0.72) than one-year post-fire (R2=0.56). Additionally, mean dNBR (0.56 vs. 0.29), the dNBR standard deviation (0.29 vs. 0.19) and mean optimality (0.65 vs. 0.47) were clearly higher for the initial assessment than for the extended assessment. This is due to regenerative processes that obscured first-order fire effects impacting the suitability of the dNBR to assess burn severity in this case study. This demonstrates the importance of the lag timing, i.e. time since fire, of an assessment, especially in a quickly recovering Mediterranean ecosystem. The MODIS time series was used to study intra-annual changes in index performance. The seasonal timing of an assessment highly impacts what is actually measured. This seasonality affected both the greenness of herbaceous resprouters and the productivity of the control pixels, which is land cover specific. Appropriate seasonal timing of an assessment is therefore of paramount importance to anticipate false trends (e.g. caused by senescence). Although these findings are case study specific, it can be expected that similar temporal constraints affect assessments in other ecoregions. Therefore, within the limitations of available Landsat imagery, caution is recommended for the temporal dimension when assessing post-fire effects. This is crucial, especially for studies that aim to evaluate trends in fire/burn severity across space and time. Also, clarification in associated terminology is suggested.",AcknowledgementsThe study was financed by the Ghent University special research funds (BOF: Bijzonder Onderzoeksfonds).

,pub.1053118885,10.1016/j.rse.2010.03.012,,,,"New GOES imager algorithms for cloud and active fire detection and fire radiative power assessment across North, South and Central America","Vegetation fires are a key global terrestrial disturbance factor and a major source of atmospheric trace gases and aerosols. Therefore, many earth-system science and operational monitoring applications require access to repetitive, frequent and well-characterized information on fire emissions source strengths. Geostationary imagers offer important temporal advantages when studying rapidly changing phenomena such as vegetation fires. Here we present a new algorithm for detecting and characterising active fires burning within the imager footprints of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES), including consideration of cloud-cover and calculation of fire radiative power (FRP), a metric shown to be strongly related to fuel consumption and smoke emission rates. The approach is based on a set of algorithms now delivering near real time (NRT) operational FRP products from the Meteosat Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infra-Red Imager (SEVIRI) imager (available from http://landsaf.meteo.pt/), and the GOES processing chain presented here is designed to deliver a compatible fire product to complete geostationary coverage of the Western hemisphere. Results from the two GOES imagers are intercompared, and are independently verified against the well regarded MODIS cloud mask and active fire products. We find that the detection of cloud and active fires from GOES matches that of MODIS very well for fire pixels having FRP>30MW, when the GOES omission error falls to less than 10%. The FRP of fire clusters detected near simultaneously by both GOES and MODIS have a bias of only 22MW, and a similar bias is found when comparing near-simultaneous GOES East and GOES West FRP observations. However, many fire pixels having FRP<30MW remain undetected by GOES, probably unavoidably since it has a much coarser spatial resolution than MODIS. Adjustment using data from the less frequent but more accurate views obtained from high spatial resolution polar orbiting imagers could be used to bias correct regional FRP totals. Temporal integration of the GOES FRP record indicates that during the summer months, biomass burning combusts thousands of millions of tonnes of fuel daily across the Americas. Comparison of these results to those of the Global Fire Emissions Database (GFEDv2) indicate strong linear relationships (r²>0.9), suggesting that the timely FRP data available from a GOES real-time data feed is likely to be a suitable fire emissions source strength term for inclusion in schemes aiming to forecast the concentrations of atmospheric constituents affected by biomass burning.","AcknowledgementsThe research leading to theses results has received funding from the European Union&#x27;s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under Grant Agreement no. 218793, the NERC KT Grant NE/E002846, and the NERC National Centre for Earth Observtion (NCEO; NE/F001444/1).

,pub.1006614755,10.1016/j.rse.2010.03.013,,,,Estimating burn severity from Landsat dNBR and RdNBR indices across western Canada,"National parks in western Canada experience wildland fire events at differing frequencies, intensities, and burn severities. These episodic disturbances have varying implications for various biotic and abiotic processes and patterns. To predict burn severity, the differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) algorithm, derived from Landsat imagery, has been used extensively throughout the wildland fire community. In Canada, few accuracy assessments have been undertaken to compare the accuracy of the dNBR algorithm to its relative form (RdNBR). To investigate the accuracies of these two algorithms in Canada's National Parks, we hypothesized that RdNBR would outperform dNBR in two specific applications based on former research by Miller and Thode (2007). The first was the capacity of the RdNBR to produce more accurate results than dNBR over a wide range of fires and secondly in pre-fire landscapes with low canopy closure and high heterogeneity. To investigate these questions, dNBR and RdNBR indices were extracted from Landsat imagery and compared to the measurements of the Composite Burn Index (Key & Benson, 2006). Following this, best fit models were developed and statistically tested at the individual, regional, overall, and vegetative levels. We then developed confusion matrices to assess the relative strength and weakness of each model. As an additional means of comparing model accuracy, we tested Hall et al.'s (2008) non-linear model in estimating burn severity for the study's western boreal region and individual fires. The results indicate that across all fires, the RdNBR-derived model did not estimate burn severity more accurately than dNBR (65.2% versus 70.2% classification accuracy, respectively) nor in the heterogeneous and low canopy cover landscapes. In addition, we conclude that RdNBR is no more effective than dNBR at the regional, individual, and fine-scale vegetation levels. The Hall et al. (2008) model was found to estimate burn severity in the western boreal region with a higher overall kappa than both the dNBR and RdNBR study models. The results herein support the continued research and pursuit of developing regional remote sensing derived models in western Canada.","AcknowledgementsThis research was funded by Parks Canada with components funded by a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Discovery grant to Coops.

,pub.1021776245,10.5194/acpd-10-17657-2010,,,,Comparison of global inventories of monthly CO emissions derived from remotely sensed data,"Five global inventories of monthly CO emissions named VGT, ATSR, MODIS, GFED2 and MOPITT and based on remotely sensed active fires and/or burned area products for the year 2003 are compared. The objective is to highlight similarities and differences focusing on the geographical and temporal distribution of the emissions at the global and continental scale and for three broad land cover classes (forest, savanna/grassland and agriculture). Emissions for the year 2003 range between 398 Tg CO and 1422 Tg CO. Africa shows the best agreement among the inventories both in terms of total annual amounts (162.4–367.4 Tg CO) and of seasonality despite some overestimation of emissions from forest and agriculture land covers observed in the MODIS inventory. Eurasian boreal forests most contribute to the large difference observed due to the high fuel loads involved in burning. In these regions VGT tends to overestimate emissions especially outside the typical fire season. In South America the perfect agreement of annual totals given by VGT and MOPITT (121 Tg CO) hides a different geographical distribution of CO sources: compensation effects between the 0.5° grid cells lead to a better agreement when looking at regional or annual totals. Looking at the broad land covers, the range of contribution to global emissions is 64–74%, 13–19% and 3–4% for forests, savanna/grasslands and agriculture, respectively. Results suggest that there is still large uncertainty in global estimates of emissions and attention should be paid to accurate parameterization of vegetation characteristics and conditions at the time of fire.",,,EGUsphere,,,Copernicus Publications,,,2010-07-22,2010,2010-07-22,,10,7,17657-17697,All OA; Green,Preprint,Research Article,"Stroppiana, D.; Brivio, P.

,pub.1008389284,10.1016/j.foreco.2010.03.009,,,,Feedbacks between fuel reduction and landscape homogenisation determine fire regimes in three Mediterranean areas,"In densely populated areas like the Mediterranean, wildfire extent is mostly limited by fire suppression and fuel fragmentation. Fire is known to spread more easily through high fuel loads and homogenous terrain and it is supposed to reduce fuel amount and continuity, creating a negative feedback. Here we combine information from administration fire records, satellite imagery fire scars and land use/cover maps to asses the effects of fire on landscape structure and vice versa for three areas in Catalonia (NE Spain). We worked with three spatial focuses: the actual fire scar, 1km2 squares and 10km2 squares. In these regions agriculture land abandonment has lead to increased fuel continuity, paralleled by an increment of fire size. We confirm that fire spread is facilitated by land use/cover types with high fuel load and by homogeneous terrain and that fire reduces fuel load by transforming forests into shrublands. But we also found that fire increased landscape homogeneity, creating a positive feedback on fire propagation. We argue that this is possible in landscapes with finer grain than fire alone would create. The lack of discontinuities in the fuel bed diminishes the extinction capacity of fire brigades and increases the risk of large fires. We recommend that fire management should focus more on conservation of the traditional rural mosaic in order to prevent further increases in fuel continuity and fire risk.","AcknowledgementsMany thanks to Lucia Galiano, who did the photointerpretation of the 1956 aerial photographs.

The method adopts an improved colour structure code (CSC) for segmentation and support vector machine (SVM) for classification using high resolution (HR) QuickBird data. It combines the advantages of digital image processing (efficient improved CSC segmentation), geographical information systems (GIS) (vector-based feature selection), and data mining (intelligent SVM classification) to interpret images from pixels to objects and thematic information. The improved CSC segmentation not only achieves robust and accurate results but also combines boundary information that the traditional CSC algorithm does not consider. The SVM used for classification has the advantages of solving sparse sampling, nonlinear, high-dimensional and global optimum problems, compared with other classifiers. The results demonstrate that the new object-oriented classification method significantly outperforms some other objected-oriented classification methods such as the objected-oriented method based on traditional CSC and SVM, and perfect classification results are obtained from the classification processing, including not only the classification method, but also preprocessing, sample selection and post-processing.","This work was funded by National Basic Research Program of China (2006CB701303) and the Key Laboratory of Geo-informatics of State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping (Grant No. 200601 and No. 200833).

This work aims to investigate whether it is possible to develop a transferable object-based classification model for burned-area mapping using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) imagery. The initial step in the investigation involved the development of an object-based classification model for accurately mapping burned areas in central Portugal using an ASTER image, and subsequently an examination of its performance when mapping a burned area located on the island of Rhodes, Greece, using a different ASTER image. Results indicate that the combined use of object-based image analysis and ASTER imagery can provide an alternative operational tool that could be used to identify and map burned areas and thus fill a potential gap in Landsat data collection.",,,International Journal of Remote Sensing,,,Taylor & Francis,"0143-1161, 1366-5901",,2010-02-18,2010,2010-02-24,2010-02-18,31,4,1113-1120,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Polychronaki, Anastasia; Gitas, Ioannis Z.","Polychronaki, Anastasia (Laboratory of Forest Management and Remote Sensing, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, P.O.

This research examines an approach for assessing changes in post-fire vegetation dynamics for sites in Spain, Israel and the USA that burned in 1998, 1999 and 2002 respectively. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer satellite Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time-series data (2000–07) are used for all sites to characterise and track the seasonal and spatial changes in vegetation response. Post-fire trends and metrics for burned areas are evaluated and compared with unburned reference sites to account for the influence of local environmental conditions. Time-series data interpretation provides insights into climatic influences on the post-fire vegetation. Although only two sites show increases in post-fire vegetation, all sites show declines in heterogeneity across the site. The evaluation of land surface phenological metrics, including the start and end of the season, the base and peak NDVI, and the integrated seasonal NDVI, show promising results, indicating trends in some measures of post-fire phenology. Results indicate that this monitoring approach, based on readily available satellite-based time-series vegetation data, provides a valuable tool for assessing post-fire vegetation response.","MODIS data are distributed by the Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center, located at the USA Geological Survey Center for Earth Resources Observation and Science (http://LPDAAC.usgs.gov).

The model estimates an average release of 2.24 Pg C yr−1 as CO2 from biomass burning during the 1980s and 1990s. Comparison with observed active fire counts shows that the model reproduces where fire occurs and can mimic broad geographic patterns in the peak fire season, although the predicted peak is 1–2 months late in some regions. Modelled fire season length is generally overestimated by about one month, but shows a realistic pattern of differences among biomes. Comparisons with remotely sensed burnt-area products indicate that the model reproduces broad geographic patterns of annual fractional burnt area over most regions, including the boreal forest, although interannual variability in the boreal zone is underestimated.

Improvements in fire risk estimation are vital to reduce the negative impacts of fire, either by lessen burn severity or intensity through fuel management, or by aiding the natural vegetation recovery using post-fire treatments. This paper presents the methods to generate the input variables and the risk integration developed within the Firemap project (funded under the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology) to map wildland fire risk for several regions of Spain. After defining the conceptual scheme for fire risk assessment, the paper describes the methods used to generate the risk parameters, and presents proposals for their integration into synthetic risk indices. The generation of the input variables was based on an extensive use of geographic information system and remote sensing technologies, since the project was intended to provide a spatial and temporal assessment of risk conditions. All variables were mapped at 1km2 spatial resolution, and were integrated into a web-mapping service system. This service was active in the summer of 2007 for semi-operational testing of end-users. The paper also presents the first validation results of the danger index, by comparing temporal trends of different danger components and fire occurrence in the different study regions.","AcknowledgementsThe Firemap project was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Education (CGL2004-060490C04-01/CLI) through the Environment and Climate program.

Nowadays the concern about natural environment protection and recovery is much greater than in the past. However, the resources and tools available for its management are still not sufficient. Thus, attention and precision is needed when decisions must be taken. Quantitative estimates on how the vegetation is recovering after a fire can be of help for evaluating the necessity of human intervention on the fire-affected ecosystem, and their importance will grow as the problem of forest fires, climate change and desertification increases.This article performs a comparison of methods to extract quantitative estimates of vegetation cover regrowth with Landsat TM and ETM+ data in an area that burned during the summer of 1998 in the Liguria region (Italy). In order to eliminate possible sources of error, a thorough pre-processing was carried out, including a careful geometric correction (reaching RMSE lower than 0.3pixels), a topographic correction by means of a constrained Minnaert model and a combination of absolute and relative atmospheric correction methods. Pseudo Invariant Features (PIF) were identified by implementing an automated selection method based in temporal Principal Component Analysis (PCA), which has been called multi-Temporal n-Dimensional Principal Component Analysis (mT-nD-PCA).Spectral Mixture Analysis (SMA) was compared against quantitative vegetation indices which are based on well known traditional vegetation indices like Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI). Accuracy assessment was performed by regressing vegetation cover results obtained with each method against field data gathered during the fieldwork campaign carried out in the study area. Results obtained showed how vegetation cover fractions extracted from the NDVI based quantitative index were the most accurate, being superior to the rest of the techniques applied, including SMA.",AcknowledgmentThe authors would like to thank the Forestry Services of La Spezia for their logistic support during the field campaign.,,Ecological Modelling,,,Elsevier,"0304-3800, 1872-7026",,2010-01,2010,,2010-01,221,1,75-84,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Vila, José Pablo Solans; Barbosa, Paulo","Vila, José Pablo Solans (Cranfield University, Cranfield, MK43 0AL, UK); Barbosa, Paulo (Institute for Environment and Sustainability, Joint Research Centre, European Commission, Via E.

,pub.1014282857,10.1016/j.rse.2009.08.014,,,,Detecting trend and seasonal changes in satellite image time series,"A wealth of remotely sensed image time series covering large areas is now available to the earth science community. Change detection methods are often not capable of detecting land cover changes within time series that are heavily influenced by seasonal climatic variations. Detecting change within the trend and seasonal components of time series enables the classification of different types of changes. Changes occurring in the trend component often indicate disturbances (e.g. fires, insect attacks), while changes occurring in the seasonal component indicate phenological changes (e.g. change in land cover type). A generic change detection approach is proposed for time series by detecting and characterizing Breaks For Additive Seasonal and Trend (BFAST). BFAST integrates the decomposition of time series into trend, seasonal, and remainder components with methods for detecting change within time series. BFAST iteratively estimates the time and number of changes, and characterizes change by its magnitude and direction. We tested BFAST by simulating 16-day Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series with varying amounts of seasonality and noise, and by adding abrupt changes at different times and magnitudes. This revealed that BFAST can robustly detect change with different magnitudes (>0.1 NDVI) within time series with different noise levels (0.01–0.07 σ) and seasonal amplitudes (0.1–0.5 NDVI). Additionally, BFAST was applied to 16-day NDVI Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) composites for a forested study area in south eastern Australia. This showed that BFAST is able to detect and characterize spatial and temporal changes in a forested landscape. BFAST is not specific to a particular data type and can be applied to time series without the need to normalize for land cover types, select a reference period, or change trajectory. The method can be integrated within monitoring frameworks and used as an alarm system to flag when and where changes occur.","AcknowledgementsThis work was undertaken within the Cooperative Research Center for Forestry Program 1.1: Monitoring and Measuring (www.crcforestry.com.au).

Availability of these data can contribute to new approaches to the assessment of the European landscape, for instance in the context of environmental and economic accounting, diversity, modelling of its properties, etc. These possibilities are given by the fact that land cover reflects the biophysical state of the real landscape. The paper contains information about frequency and areas of CLC and their changes in the period 1990–2000, but above all in the processes – flows (LCF) that take place in the European landscape. Results of statistical analysis and maps demonstrate the frequency and rate (by two values: one above and another below the mean LCF rates) of the following processes: urbanisation (LCF1), intensification of agriculture (LCF2), extensification of agriculture (LCF3), afforestation (LCF4), deforestation (LCF5) and construction of water bodies (LCF6). LCF1 was most conspicuous in the Netherlands (2.1% of total country's area), LCF2 in Ireland (3.3%), LCF3 in the Czech Republic (over 3.5%), LCF4 in Portugal (over 4%), LCF5 in Portugal (over 3.5%) and LCF6 in the Netherlands and Slovakia (over 0.1%). The overall area of identified land cover changes in 24 European countries in the period 1990–2000 was around 88,000km2 which equals 2.5% of their total area. Details presented concerning the LCF frequency and rate will certainly contribute to the overall awareness and anticipation of possible developments in the European landscape.","AcknowledgementThis study is one of the outputs attained in the framework of the project Structure of the rural landscape: analysis of the development, changes and spatial organization by application of the CORINE land cover databases and the geographical information systems, No. 2/7021/27 at the Institute of Geography of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in 2009 supported by the VEGA Grant Agency.

The ability to predict the spatial patterns of ignitions constitutes an important tool for managers, helping to improve the effectiveness of fire prevention, detection and firefighting resources allocation. In this study, we analyzed 127 490 ignitions that occurred in Portugal during a 5-year period. We used logistic regression models to predict the likelihood of ignition occurrence, using a set of potentially explanatory variables, and produced an ignition risk map for the Portuguese mainland. Results show that population density, human accessibility, land cover and elevation are important determinants of spatial distribution of fire ignitions. In this paper, we demonstrate that it is possible to predict the spatial patterns of ignitions at the national level with good accuracy and using a small number of easily obtainable variables, which can be useful in decision-making for wildfire management.","We acknowledge the Portuguese Forest Services (DGRF) for all collaboration and for making available the wildfire database.

This paper presents a method to characterize and map WUIs at large scales and over large areas for wildland fire prevention in the South of France. Based on the combination of four types of building configuration and three classes of vegetation structure, 12 interface types were classified. Through spatial analysis, fire ignition density and burned area ratio were linked with the different types of WUI. Among WUI types, isolated WUIs with the lowest housing density represent the highest level of fire risk.","AcknowledgmentsThe work was partially financed by the French “Ministère de l‘Ecologie, du Développement et de l’Aménagement Durables”, “Conseil Régional Provence-Alpes-Côte-d‘Azur”, integrated project Fire Paradox n°.

,pub.1061611221,10.1109/tgrs.2009.2031557,,,,Mapping Postfire Vegetation Recovery Using EO-1 Hyperion Imagery,"The aim of this paper is to investigate whether it is possible to accurately map postfire vegetation recovery on the Mediterranean island of Thasos by employing Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) Hyperion imagery and object-based classification. Specific objectives include the following: 1) locating and mapping areas of forest regeneration and other vegetation recovery and distinguishing among them; 2) distinguishing between Pinus brutia regeneration and Pinus nigra regeneration within the area of forest regeneration; and 3) examining whether it is possible to distinguish between areas of forest regeneration (Pinus brutia, Pinus nigra) and mature forest. The data used in this study consist of satellite images, field-spectroradiometry measurements, and field observations of the homogenous revegetated areas. The methodology comprised four consecutive steps. The first step involved preprocessing of the Hyperion image and field data. Subsequently, an object-oriented model was developed, which involved three steps, namely, image segmentation, object training, and object classification. The process resulted in the separation of five classes (“brutia mature,” “ nigra mature,” “brutia regeneration,” “nigra regeneration,” and “other vegetation”). The accuracy assessment revealed very promising results (approximately 75.81% overall accuracy, with a Kappa Index of Agreement of 0.689). Some classification confusion involving the classes of Pinus brutia regeneration and Pinus nigra regeneration was recorded. This could be attributed to the absence of large homogenous areas of regenerated pine trees. The main conclusion drawn in this paper was that object-based classification can be used to accurately map postfire vegetation recovery using EO-1 Hyperion imagery.",This work was supported in part by the Lebanese National Council for Scientific Research.

Variations are caused by interacting factors, including soil properties, vegetation characteristics, hydrology, land management history, and burn severity. While many of these factors have been explored previously, few studies have investigated the combination of multiple factors. A time-series of the remotely sensed enhanced vegetation index data has been analyzed to estimate rates of regeneration across a burn in central Arizona. We used regression trees to evaluate post-fire vegetation response as a function of multiple factors. Regeneration was a function of elevation (likely a proxy for moisture availability), burn severity, pre-burn vegetation, and post-burn management activities. Both time-series vegetation data and regression trees were valuable tools for determining dominant interacting factors responsible for variations in post-fire regeneration. Evaluation of the time-series data and modeled post-fire vegetation permitted the interpretation of management actions across the burned area.","We are grateful for the valuable insights provided by Gayle Richardson, silviculturalist at the Black Mesa Ranger District, in helping us to interpret the results of our modeling efforts.

The size of the fire and the diversity of conditions through which it burned provided an opportunity to analyze relationships between crown damage and vegetation type, recent fire history, geology, topography, and regional weather conditions on the day of burning. We measured pre- and post-fire vegetation cover and crown damage on 761 digital aerial photo-plots (6.25ha) within the unmanaged portion of the burn and used random forest and regression tree models to relate patterns of damage to a suite of 20 predictor variables. Ninety-eight percent of plots experienced some level of crown damage, but only 10% experienced complete crown damage. The median level of total crown damage was 74%; median damage to conifer crowns was 52%. The most important predictors of total crown damage were the percentage of pre-fire shrub-stratum vegetation cover and average daily temperature. The most important predictors of conifer damage were average daily temperature and “burn period,” an index of fire weather and fire suppression effort. The median level of damage was 32% within large conifer cover and 62% within small conifer cover. Open tree canopies with high levels of shrub-stratum cover were associated with the highest levels of tree crown damage, while closed canopy forests with high levels of large conifer cover were associated with the lowest levels of tree crown damage. Patterns of damage were similar within the area that burned previously in the 1987 Silver Fire and edaphically similar areas without a recent history of fire. Low-productivity sites on ultramafic soils had 92% median crown damage compared to 59% on non-ultramafic sites; the proportion of conifer cover damaged was also higher on ultramafic sites. We conclude that weather and vegetation conditions — not topography — were the primary determinants of Biscuit Fire crown damage.","Funding was provided by the Joint Fire Science Program. We thank K.

While new fire monitoring systems are based on fundamental Earth Systems Science (ESS) research, adaptation to the forecasting problem requires special procedures and simplifications. In a reciprocal manner, results from the air quality research community have contributed scientifically to basic ESS. To help exploit research and data products in climate, ESS, meteorology and air quality biomass burning communities, the joint Navy, NASA, NOAA, and University Fire Locating and Modeling of Burning Emissions (FLAMBE) program was formed in 1999. Based upon the operational NOAA/NESDIS Wild-Fire Automated Biomass Burning Algorithm (WF_ABBA) and the near real time University of Maryland/NASA MODIS fire products coupled to the operational Navy Aerosol Analysis and Prediction System (NAAPS) transport model, FLAMBE is a combined ESS and operational system to study the nature of smoke particle emissions and transport at the synoptic to continental scales. In this paper, we give an overview of the FLAMBE system and present fundamental metrics on emission and transport patterns of smoke. We also provide examples on regional smoke transport mechanisms and demonstrate that MODIS optical depth data assimilation provides significant variance reduction against observations. Using FLAMBE as a context, throughout the paper we discuss observability issues surrounding the biomass burning system and the subsequent propagation of error. Current indications are that regional particle emissions estimates still have integer factors of uncertainty.","This work was supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Interdisciplinary Science Program and the Office of Naval Research Codes 32 and 35.

Based on land-cover information within 5591 burned patches (larger than 5 ha) and in the surrounding landscape, selection ratio functions were used to measure fire preference or avoidance for different land-cover types in 12 regions of the country. Shrublands were the most fire-prone land cover, whereas annual crops, permanent crops and agro-forestry systems were the most avoided by fire. In terms of forest types, conifer plantations were more susceptible to fire than eucalyptus, and broadleaved forests were the least fire-prone. There were regional variations in land-cover susceptibility to fire, which may be explained by differences in climate, management, ignition patterns, firefighting strategies, and regional availability. A cluster analysis of regional variations in selection ratios for all land covers allowed the identification of three main geographical areas with similar fire selection patterns. These results can be used for planning landscape-scale fuel management in order to create landscapes with a lower fire hazard.","The present research was carried out within the scope of projects POCI/AGR/58896/2004 ‘Phoenix – Forest conversion in burned areas’ and PTDC/AGR-CFL/64146/2006 ‘Decision-support tools for integrating fire and forest management planning’, financed by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, ‘FFP – Recuperação de áreas ardidas’, financed by Instituto de Financiamento da Agricultura e Pescas, and FP6 Integrated Project ‘FIRE PARADOX’ (FP6–018505).",,International Journal of Wildland Fire,,,CSIRO Publishing,"1049-8001, 1448-5516",,2009-08-10,2009,2009-08-10,2009,18,5,563-574,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Moreira, Francisco; Vaz, Pedro; Catry, Filipe; Silva, Joaquim S.","Moreira, Francisco (Centre of Applied Ecology ‘Prof. Baeta Neves’, Institute of Agronomy, Technical University of Lisbon, Tapada da Ajuda, 1349-017 Lisbon, Portugal); Vaz, Pedro (Centre of Applied Ecology ‘Prof. Baeta Neves’, Institute of Agronomy, Technical University of Lisbon, Tapada da Ajuda, 1349-017 Lisbon, Portugal); Catry, Filipe (Centre of Applied Ecology ‘Prof. Baeta Neves’, Institute of Agronomy, Technical University of Lisbon, Tapada da Ajuda, 1349-017 Lisbon, Portugal); Silva, Joaquim S.

,pub.1053727199,10.1016/j.rse.2009.04.014,,,,Monitoring forest changes in the southwestern United States using multitemporal Landsat data,"Landsat time series data sets were acquired for the Santa Fe National Forest in New Mexico. This area includes the San Pedro Parks Wilderness area, which was designated as an official wilderness in 1964. Eight autumnal Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) scenes acquired from 1988 to 2006 were analyzed to determine whether significant changes have occurred throughout the region during the past 18 years and, if so, to assess whether the changes are long-term and gradual or short-term and abrupt. It was found that, starting in about 1995, many of the conifer stands within the Wilderness area showed consistently gradual and marked increases in the Shortwave Infrared/Near Infrared Index. These trends generally imply decreases in canopy greenness or increases in mortality. Other high-elevation conifer forests located outside of the Wilderness area showed similar spectral trends, indicating that changes are potentially widespread. The spatial patterns of forest damage as inferred from the image analyses were very similar to the general patterns of insect defoliation damage mapped via aerial sketch mapping by the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Forest Health Monitoring Program. A field visit indicated that zones of spectral change are associated with high levels of forest damage and mortality, likely caused by a combination of insects and drought. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of using historical Landsat data for providing objective and consistent long-term assessments of the gradual ecosystem changes that are occurring within the western United States.","AcknowledgementsWe thank Terry Sohl and Birgit Peterson for reviewing the manuscript.

,pub.1019981090,10.1016/j.foreco.2009.03.041,,,,Factors influencing the formation of unburned forest islands within the perimeter of a large forest fire,"Large forest fires have recently increased in frequency and severity in many ecosystems. Due to the heterogeneity in fuels, weather and topography, these large fires tend to form unburned islands of vegetation. This study focuses on a large forest fire that occurred in north-eastern Spain in 1998, which left large areas of unburned vegetation within its perimeter. Based on a satellite post-fire severity map we searched for the relative influence of biotic and abiotic factors leading to unburned island formation. We divided the area of the fire into individual units we called “slopes” which were meant to separate the differential microclimatic effects of contrasted aspects. The number of unburned islands and their areas were related to 12 variables that influence their formation (i.e. land cover composition, aspect, steepness, forest structure, two landscape indices and weather variables). We hypothesized that unburned vegetation islands would concentrate on northern aspects, in less flammable forests (i.e. broadleaf species) and higher fragmentation to interrupt the advance of fire. While north and western aspects did have a higher presence of unburned vegetation islands, our study suggests greater presence of islands in slopes that are larger (i.e. more continuous areas with relatively homogeneous aspect), with greater proportions of forest cover, with higher wood volumes and with lower proportions of broadleaf species. Climate also played a role, with relative humidity and wind speed positively and negatively correlated to island formation, respectively. Unburned vegetation was more frequent on slopes with lower diversity of land covers and higher dominance of one land cover in the slope. Since slopes with only one land cover (i.e. forests) had more islands than slopes with multiple cover types, we infer that under severe meteorological conditions, fragmented forests can be more affected by wind and by water stress, thus burning more readily than forests that are protected from this edge phenomenon. These results would reinforce forest management strategies that avoid linear features (fire-lines and fire-breaks), to enhance fuel treatments that focus on areas and minimize fragmentation.",AcknowledgementsPart of this research derives from a BEAI research grant from the Catalonian Government.

The choice of the most suitable index is often a difficult task because each index brings a different type of information, as well as a rate of misclassification error. Moreover, the choice may be a function of the geographical area, spectral and geometrical characteristics of satellite data, and objectives of the study. In this letter, we compare the performance of different indices computed for Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer imagery and propose a methodology for integrating them into a synthetic indicator of likelihood of burn. The methodology is based on fuzzy set theory and aims to lay the foundation for the development of a burned-area mapping algorithm in the Mediterranean environment of southern Italy.","The authors would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their comments on this letter.

,pub.1020693300,10.5194/bg-6-849-2009,,,,Annual and diurnal african biomass burning temporal dynamics,"Abstract. Africa is the single largest continental source of biomass burning emissions. Here we conduct the first analysis of one full year of geostationary active fire detections and fire radiative power data recorded over Africa at 15-min temporal interval and a 3 km sub-satellite spatial resolution by the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) imaging radiometer onboard the Meteosat-8 satellite. We use these data to provide new insights into the rates and totals of open biomass burning over Africa, particularly into the extremely strong seasonal and diurnal cycles that exist across the continent. We estimate peak daily biomass combustion totals to be 9 and 6 million tonnes of fuel per day in the northern and southern hemispheres respectively, and total fuel consumption between February 2004 and January 2005 is estimated to be at least 855 million tonnes. Analysis is carried out with regard to fire pixel temporal persistence, and we note that the majority of African fires are detected only once in consecutive 15 min imaging slots. An investigation of the variability of the diurnal fire cycle is carried out with respect to 20 different land cover types, and whilst differences are noted between land covers, the fire diurnal cycle characteristics for most land cover type are very similar in both African hemispheres. We compare the Fire Radiative Power (FRP) derived biomass combustion estimates to burned-areas, both at the scale of individual fires and over the entire continent at a 1-degree scale. Fuel consumption estimates are found to be less than 2 kg/m2 for all land cover types noted to be subject to significant fire activity, and for savanna grasslands where literature values are commonly reported the FRP-derived median fuel consumption estimate of 300 g/m2 is well within commonly quoted values. Meteosat-derived FRP data of the type presented here is now available freely to interested users continuously and in near real-time for Africa, Europe and parts of South America via the EUMETSAT (European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites) Land Surface Analysis Satellite Applications Facility (http://landsaf.meteo.pt/). Continuous generation of these products will allow the types of analysis presented in this paper to be improved and extended, and such multi-year records should allow relationships between climate, fire and fuel to be further examined.",,,Biogeosciences,,,Copernicus Publications,"1726-4170, 1726-4189",,2009-05-15,2009,2009-05-15,,6,5,849-866,All OA; Gold,Article,Research Article,"Roberts, G.; Wooster, M.

The increased availability of space-borne radar imagery offers additional means for assessing the state of forests and monitoring their dynamics. In this study, the potential of multi-temporal space-borne SAR data for monitoring vegetation recovery over burned areas next to the Mediterranean coast is investigated. In particular, the study considers a set of ERS-SAR images, C-band and VV polarization, taken over the Castel Fusano pinewood, located near Rome, Italy, devastated in summer 2000 by a fire that burned about 350 ha of the wood. Starting from the analysis of the information contained in the variations, both in burnt and unburnt areas, of the inter annual multitemporal backscattering signatures, the study presents two different approaches, one more qualitative, the other one more quantitative, for the retrieval of the biomass re-growth after the fire. In the quantitative case, the inversion procedure computes the biomass re-growth rate by means of simulations carried out with the Tor Vergata scattering model. The obtained results are satisfactory as they are in agreement with simultaneous analysis based on optical data and in-situ measurement campaigns.","AcknowledgementsThe work has been carried out within the framework of the ESA (European Space Agency) CAT-1 project n. 2381.

,pub.1005564628,10.1016/j.rse.2008.10.011,,,,GeoCBI: A modified version of the Composite Burn Index for the initial assessment of the short-term burn severity from remotely sensed data,"Burn severity estimation is a key factor in the post-fire management. Previous studies using remotely sensed data to retrieve burn severity, as measured by the Composite Burn Index (CBI), have found inconsistencies, since spectral indices work well in some ecosystems but not in others. These inconsistencies may be caused by the lack of spectral uniqueness in the CBI definition, or by the performance of the spectral indices used. This paper analyses the former aspect, using a simulation analysis to study the relationships between the CBI and reflectance. Subsequently, a modified version of this index, called GeoCBI, is proposed to improve the retrieval of burn severity from remotely sensed data. GeoCBI takes into account the fraction of cover (FCOV) of the different vegetation strata used to compute the CBI. Moreover, it also includes the changes in the leaf area index (LAI) for the intermediate and tall tree strata (D+E). Field and simulation results show that GeoCBI is more consistently related to spectral reflectance than CBI for different ranges of burn severities, while keeping its ecological meaning.","AcknowledgementsSpecial thanks to the Spanish Forest Service staff of Guadalajara and all the team of the Geography Department of the University of Alcalá, who have been extremely helpful during the long fieldwork campaigns.

,pub.1039905233,10.1071/wf07049,,,,"Fire intensity, fire severity and burn severity: a brief review and suggested usage","Several recent papers have suggested replacing the terminology of fire intensity and fire severity. Part of the problem with fire intensity is that it is sometimes used incorrectly to describe fire effects, when in fact it is justifiably restricted to measures of energy output. Increasingly, the term has created confusion because some authors have restricted its usage to a single measure of energy output referred to as fireline intensity. This metric is most useful in understanding fire behavior in forests, but is too narrow to fully capture the multitude of ways fire energy affects ecosystems. Fire intensity represents the energy released during various phases of a fire, and different metrics such as reaction intensity, fireline intensity, temperature, heating duration and radiant energy are useful for different purposes. Fire severity, and the related term burn severity, have created considerable confusion because of recent changes in their usage. Some authors have justified this by contending that fire severity is defined broadly as ecosystem impacts from fire and thus is open to individual interpretation. However, empirical studies have defined fire severity operationally as the loss of or change in organic matter aboveground and belowground, although the precise metric varies with management needs. Confusion arises because fire or burn severity is sometimes defined so that it also includes ecosystem responses. Ecosystem responses include soil erosion, vegetation regeneration, restoration of community structure, faunal recolonization, and a plethora of related response variables. Although some ecosystem responses are correlated with measures of fire or burn severity, many important ecosystem processes have either not been demonstrated to be predicted by severity indices or have been shown in some vegetation types to be unrelated to severity. This is a critical issue because fire or burn severity are readily measurable parameters, both on the ground and with remote sensing, yet ecosystem responses are of most interest to resource managers.","The present manuscript has greatly benefited from discussion with, and comments on an earlier draft by the following colleagues: Jan Beyers, James Grace, Carl Key, Jay Miller, Jason Mogahaddas, Annette Parsons, David L.

The aim of the work was to analyze the rule in the succession of shrub species after fire, relating it to the changes registered in the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Fractional vegetation cover was recorded from permanent plots in 2000 and 2005. NDVI data related to each time were obtained from Landsat images. Both data sets, from fieldwork and remote sensing, were analyzed through statistical and quantitative analyses and then correlated. Results have permitted the description of the change in plant cover and species composition on a global and plot scale. It can be affirmed that, from the seventh to the twelfth year after the fire, the floristic composition within the burned area remained unchanged at a global level. However, on a smaller scale (plot level), the major shrub species, Ulex parviflorus, Rosmarinus officinalis, and Cistus clusii, underwent significant changes. The regeneration dynamics established by these species conditioned plant species composition and, consequently, diversity indexes such as Shannon (H) and Simpson (D). The changes recorded in the NDVI values corresponding to the surveyed plots were highly correlated with those found in the regrowth of the main species. Areas dominated by U. parviflorus in a senile phase were related to a decrease in NDVI values and an increase in the number of species. This result describes the successional dynamics; the dryness of the main colonizer shrub species is allowing the regrowth and re-establishment of other species. Within the study area, NDVI shows sensitivity to postfire plant cover changes and indirectly expresses the diversity dynamics.","The authors wish to acknowledge assistance from Francisco Pérez-Raya and Joaquín Molero (University of Granada), José María Irurita, and José Manuel Moreira.

,pub.1024939552,10.1111/j.1365-2486.2008.01828.x,,,,Spatiotemporal fire occurrence in Borneo over a period of 10 years,"Abstract South‐east Asia's tropical rainforests are experiencing the highest rate of deforestation worldwide and fire is one of the most important drivers of forest loss and subsequent carbon dioxide emissions. In this study, we analyzed all fire events in Borneo recorded by satellites over a period of 10 years. About 16.2 Mha, which corresponds to 21% of the land surface, have been affected by fire at least once and 6% more than one time. During El Niño conditions, which cause prolonged droughts in the region, the fire‐affected area was on average three times larger than during normal weather conditions. Similarly, fires in forests affected 0.3 Mha in normal years and 1 Mha during El Niño years. Carbon rich peat swamp forest ecosystems were most severely affected. There is a pronounced difference in fire occurrence between different countries and provinces in Borneo although ecosystem and land use are very similar across the island. Compared with Sarawak, Sabah (Malaysia) and Brunei the relative annual fire‐affected area in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of Borneo, was on average five times larger. During El Niño conditions the fire‐affected area increased only in Kalimantan and not in Brunei and the Malaysia. A similar pattern was observed in National Parks. This suggests, that El Niño related droughts are not the only cause of increased fire occurrence and do not necessarily lead to a higher number of fire events. These results improve our understanding of existing fire regimes and drivers of fire in SE Asian tropical ecosystems and may help to better protect the remaining rainforests.","The authors would like to thank Diane Davies, University of Maryland, who provided the MODIS hotspot data (NASA &amp; University of Maryland, 2002).

The use of remote sensing techniques, coupled with radiative transfer models (RTMs) can improve the accuracy, precision (in terms of number of classes) and cost-effectiveness of burn severity assessment. In this paper, an improved simulation model that combines PROSPECT and GeoSail to estimate burn severity from satellite data was tested in three Mediterranean forest fires. The determination of burn severity was based on a new version of the CBI index (named GeoCBI), that takes into account the vegetation fraction cover (FCOV) to compute burn severity of the total plot. Model inversion results showed accurate estimations of GeoCBI values (RMSE between 0.18 and 0.21) and a uniform performance in all three sites (107 field plots in total) throughout the full GeoCBI range (0–3).","AcknowledgementsSpecial thanks to the Spanish Forest Service staff of Guadalajara and all team of the Geography Department of the University of Alcalá, who have been extremely helpful during the long fieldwork campaigns.

,pub.1002952091,10.1071/wf07151,,,,Are wildfires a disaster in the Mediterranean basin? – A review,"Evolutionary and paleoecological studies suggest that fires are natural in the Mediterranean basin. However, the important increase in the number of fires and area burned during the 20th century has created the perception that fires are disasters. In the present paper, we review to what extent fires are generating ecological disasters in the Mediterranean basin, in view of current fire regimes and the long-term human pressure on the landscapes. Specifically, we review studies on post-fire plant regeneration and soil losses. The review suggests that although many Mediterranean ecosystems are highly resilient to fire (shrublands and oak forest), some are fire-sensitive (e.g. pine woodlands). Observed erosion rates are, in some cases, relatively high, especially in high fire severity conditions. The sensitive ecosystems (in the sense of showing strong post-fire vegetation changes and soil losses) are mostly of human origin (e.g. extensive pine plantations in old fields). Thus, although many Mediterranean basin plants have traits to cope with fire, a large number of the ecosystems currently found in this region are strongly altered, and may suffer disasters. Post-fire disasters are not the rule, but they may be important under conditions of previous human disturbances.","The present work has been partially financed by the European Union project EUFireLab (EVR1-2001–00054) and the Spanish project PERSIST (CGL2006–07126/BOS).

,pub.1034901196,10.1016/j.rse.2008.06.006,,,,Development of a two-band enhanced vegetation index without a blue band,"The enhanced vegetation index (EVI) was developed as a standard satellite vegetation product for the Terra and Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers (MODIS). EVI provides improved sensitivity in high biomass regions while minimizing soil and atmosphere influences, however, is limited to sensor systems designed with a blue band, in addition to the red and near-infrared bands, making it difficult to generate long-term EVI time series as the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) counterpart. The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a 2-band EVI (EVI2), without a blue band, which has the best similarity with the 3-band EVI, particularly when atmospheric effects are insignificant and data quality is good. A linearity-adjustment factor β is proposed and coupled with the soil-adjustment factor L used in the soil-adjusted vegetation index (SAVI) to develop EVI2. A global land cover dataset of Terra MODIS data extracted over land community validation and FLUXNET test sites is used to develop the optimal parameter (L, β and G) values in EVI2 equation and achieve the best similarity between EVI and EVI2. The similarity between the two indices is evaluated and demonstrated with temporal profiles of vegetation dynamics at local and global scales. Our results demonstrate that the differences between EVI and EVI2 are insignificant (within ±0.02) over a very large sample of snow/ice-free land cover types, phenologies, and scales when atmospheric influences are insignificant, enabling EVI2 as an acceptable and accurate substitute of EVI. EVI2 can be used for sensors without a blue band, such as the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), and may reveal different vegetation dynamics in comparison with the current AVHRR NDVI dataset. However, cross-sensor continuity relationships for EVI2 remain to be studied.","AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by NASA MODIS contract #NNG04HZ20C (A.

Proxies recorded on the ground or geographical information system (GIS) indices processed with a digital elevation model (DEM) have generally been used. Here we compare the efficiency of different methods of estimating spatially distributed topographic solar radiation, from the simplest ones (proxies based on slope, and sine or cosine transformed values of aspect) to more elaborate ones using a GIS program suited to calculations of monthly clear sky and overcast solar radiation. We used a 50-m DEM to estimate solar radiation with these different methods for the whole of France (550,000km2). Radiation indices were compared with ground measurements from meteorological stations and used to model the distribution of silver fir (Abies alba), sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), and downy oak (Quercus pubescens), forest species known to be sensitive to light. Results show that sine and cosine of aspect, combined or not with slope, are inefficient at simulating solar radiation over large areas. Solar radiation, calculated for clear sky and especially including cloud cover, is more relevant, leading respectively to an R2 of 0.46 and 0.78 between measured and predicted annual radiation. Calculation with cloud cover appears to be the most efficient index for improving distribution models for the three species studied. Slope and aspect transformations are less efficient than the GIS calculations, but the difference between these proxies decreased on a local scale. Using both with GIS solar radiation, cosine of aspect, with or without interaction with slope, slightly improves distribution models on a local scale, but this effect attenuates with increase in area studied. We conclude that the effect of proxies studied is scale-dependent, but GIS-based calculation including cloudiness variability is more appropriate than topographic proxies or clear sky models in estimating solar radiation and improving the efficiency of plant distribution models.",,,Agricultural and Forest Meteorology,,,Elsevier,"0168-1923, 1873-2240",,2008-10,2008,,2008-10,148,11,1696-1706,All OA; Green,Article,Research Article,"Piedallu, Christian; Gégout, Jean-claude","Piedallu, Christian (AgroParisTech, UMR 1092 INRA-ENGREF, Laboratoire d’Etude des Ressources Forêt-Bois, 14 rue Girardet, CS 14216, F-54042 Nancy Cedex, France); Gégout, Jean-claude (AgroParisTech, UMR 1092 INRA-ENGREF, Laboratoire d’Etude des Ressources Forêt-Bois, 14 rue Girardet, CS 14216, F-54042 Nancy Cedex, France)","Piedallu, Christian (Agro ParisTech)","Piedallu, Christian (Agro ParisTech); Gégout, Jean-claude (Agro ParisTech)",Agro ParisTech,grid.417885.7,Paris,,France,,,,,,58,7,,20.21,3,https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-00835905/file/Piedallu_al_2008_AFM_version_HAL.pdf,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1026982265,37 Earth Sciences; 3704 Geoinformatics,,,,,,C14 Geography and Environmental Studies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,,

More specifically, an accurate knowledge of the spatial distribution of fuels is critical when analyzing, modelling and predicting fire behaviour. First, we review the main concepts and terminology associated with forest fuels and a number of fuel type classifications. Second, we summarize the main techniques employed to map fuel types starting with the most traditional approaches, such as field work, aerial photo interpretation or ecological modelling. We pay special attention to more contemporary techniques, which involve the use of remote sensing systems. In general, remote sensing systems are low-priced, can be regularly updated and are less time-consuming than traditional methods, but they are still facing important limitations. Recent work has shown that the integration of different sources of information and methods in a complementary way helps to overcome most of these limitations. Further research is encouraged to develop novel and enhanced remote sensing techniques.","AcknowledgmentsFunding by the Fundación Alonso Martín Escudero (Spain) is gratefully acknowledged.

Total annual and monthly area burned statistics and missing data statistics are reported at global and continental scale and with respect to different land cover classes. Globally the total area burned labeled by the MODIS burned area product is 3.66×106 km2 for July 2001 to June 2002 while the MODIS active fire product detected for the same period a total of 2.78×106 km2, i.e., 24% less than the area labeled by the burned area product. A spatio-temporal correlation analysis of the two MODIS fire products stratified globally for pre-fire leaf area index (LAI) and percent tree cover ranges indicate that for low percent tree cover and LAI, the MODIS burned area product defines a greater proportion of the landscape as burned than the active fire product; and with increasing tree cover (>60%) and LAI (>5) the MODIS active fire product defines a relatively greater proportion. This pattern is generally observed in product comparisons stratified with respect to land cover. Globally, the burned area product reports a smaller amount of area burned than the active fire product in croplands and evergreen forest and deciduous needleleaf forest classes, comparable areas for mixed and deciduous broadleaf forest classes, and a greater amount of area burned for the non-forest classes. The reasons for these product differences are discussed in terms of environmental spatio-temporal fire characteristics and remote sensing factors, and highlight the planning needs for MODIS burned area product validation.","AcknowledgementsThis work was funded by NASA Earth System Science grant NNG04HZ18C.

,pub.1014653981,10.1016/j.rse.2008.05.002,,,,Combining AVHRR and meteorological data for estimating live fuel moisture content,"Spatial assessment of fire risk is very important for reducing the impacts of wildland fires. Several variables related to fire ignition, propagation and its effects are included in fire risk analysis. Life Fuel Moisture Content (LFMC) is one such variable, which is highly related to fire ignition, and propagation. A wide variety of methods have been applied to estimate LFMC, including field sampling and meteorological indices. Given the limitations of these methods, satellite images are a sound alternative for estimating LFMC because of their capability to spatially and temporally monitor the vegetation status.This paper aims to improve previous empirical models to estimate LFMC from satellite images, by considering meteorological information. The original models proposed by Chuvieco et al. [Chuvieco, E., Cocero, D., Riaño, D., Martin, M.P., Martinez-Vega, J., et al., (2004). Combining NDVI and surface temperature for the estimation of live fuel moisture content in forest fire danger rating. Remote Sensing of Environment, 92, 322–331] for grasslands and shrublands were used as starting point for this research. High over-estimation of LFMC values from those models was found when applied to dry years. Consequently, the new models proposed in this paper use a simple drought index to discriminate between dry and wet years at the beginning of the spring season. A different harmonic function was fitted to each group of hydrological years, to take into account the inter-annual variations in LFMC seasonal trends. Subsequently, two empirical models, one for grasslands and one for shrubs (Cistus ladanifer), were derived based on multivariate linear regression analysis of the data collected at Cabañeros National Park (Central Spain). Determination coefficients greater than 0.8 for grasslands and 0.7 for shrubs were found. The models showed good performance too when applied to other plots of grasslands (R2=0.76) and shrubland (R2=0.71) with similar environmental characteristics to the calibration site.",AcknowledgementsThis work was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Education through the Environment and Climate program (Firemap contract-CGL2004-060490C04-01/CLI).

The spatial units were 6,066 municipalities of the Spanish peninsular territory and Balearic Islands. The study covered a 13-year series of fire occurrence data. One hundred and eight variables were generated and input to a dedicated Geographic Information System (GIS) to model different factors related to fire ignition. After exploratory analysis, 29 were selected to build a predictive model of human fire ignition using logistic regression analysis. The binary model estimated the probability of high or low occurrence of forest fires, as defined by an ignition danger index that is currently used by the Spanish forest service (number of fires divided by forest area in each municipality). Thirteen explanatory variables were identified by the model. They were related to agricultural landscape fragmentation, agricultural abandonment and development processes. The prediction agreement found between the model binary outputs and the historical fire data was 85.3% for the model building dataset (60% of municipalities). A slightly lower predictive power (76.2%) was found for the validation data (the remaining 40%). The probabilistic output of the logistic was significantly related to the raw ignition index (Spearman correlation of 0.710) used by the Spanish Forest Service. Therefore, the model can be considered a good predictor of human-caused fire risk, aiding spatial decisions related to prevention planning in Spanish municipalities.","AcknowledgementsThis work was funded by the EC project ‘Forest Fire Spread and Mitigation (SPREAD), EC-Contract Nr.

Therefore, satellite-derived maps of burn severity in the remote Alaskan landscape are a useful tool in both fire and resource management practices. To assess satellite-derived measures of burn severity in Alaska we calculated the Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) from pre- and post-fire Landsat TM/ETM+ data. We established 289 composite burn index (CBI) plots in or near four national park areas between 2001 and 2003 in order to compare ground-based measurements of burn severity with satellite-derived values of burn severity. Within the diverse vegetation types measured, a strong linear relationship between a differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) and CBI for eight out of the nine fire assessments was found; R2 values ranged from 0.45 to 0.88. The variations in severity among four pre-fire vegetation types were examined and a significant difference in the average dNBR and average CBI values among the vegetation types was found. Black spruce forests overall had the strongest relationship with dNBR, while the high severity white spruce forests had the poorest fit with dNBR. Deciduous forests and tall shrub plots had the lowest average remotely sensed burn severity (dNBR), but not the lowest ground severity among the vegetation types sampled. The tundra vegetation sampled had the lowest ground severity. Finally, a significant difference was detected between initial and extended assessments of dNBR in tundra vegetation types. The results indicated that the dNBR can be used as an effective means to map burn severity in boreal forest and tundra ecosystems for the climatic conditions and fire types that occurred in our study sites.","Thanks to the staff of the National Park Service Eastern and Western Alaska Area Fire Management Programs for their assistance in collecting burn severity plot information.

,pub.1014708525,10.1071/wf08007,,,,Using Landsat data to assess fire and burn severity in the North American boreal forest region: an overview and summary of results,"There has been considerable interest in the recent literature regarding the assessment of post-fire effects on forested areas within the North American boreal forest. Assessing the physical and ecological effects of fire in boreal forests has far-reaching implications for a variety of ecosystem processes – such as post-fire forest succession – and land management decisions. The present paper reviews past assessments and the studies presented in this special issue that have largely been based on the Composite Burn Index and differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR). Results from relating and mapping fire/burn severity within the boreal region have been variable, and are likely attributed, in part, to the wide variability in vegetation and terrain conditions that are characteristic of the region. Satellite remote sensing of post-fire effects alone without proper field calibration should be avoided. A sampling approach combining field and image values of burn condition is necessary for successful mapping of fire/burn severity. Satellite-based assessments of fire/burn severity, and in particular dNBR and related indices, need to be used judiciously and assessed for appropriateness based on the users’ need. Issues unique to high latitudes also need to be considered when using satellite-derived information in the boreal forest region.","Dr French was supported under grant NNG04GR24G from the NASA New Investigator Program.

,pub.1011845952,10.1071/wf08013,,,,Remote sensing of burn severity: experience from western Canada boreal fires,"The severity of a burn for post-fire ecological effects has been assessed with the composite burn index (CBI) and the differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR). This study assessed the relationship between these two variables across recently burned areas located in the western Canadian boreal, a region not extensively evaluated in previous studies. Of particular interest was to evaluate the nature of the CBI–dNBR relationship from the perspectives of modelling, the influence of fire behaviour prediction (FBP) fuel type, and how field observations could be incorporated into the burn severity mapping process. A non-linear model form best represented the relationship between these variables for the fires evaluated, and a similar statistical performance was achieved when data from all fires were pooled into a single dataset. Results from this study suggest the potential to develop a single model for application over the western region of the boreal, but further evaluation is necessary. This evaluation could include stratification by FBP fuel type due to study results that document its apparent influence on dNBR values. A new approach for burn severity mapping was introduced by defining severity thresholds through field assessment of CBI, and from which development of new models could be incorporated directly into the mapping process.","This study is part of a larger project funded and supported by the Canadian Space Agency and Natural Resources Canada.

,pub.1008722977,10.1080/13658810701703183,,,,A flexible multi‐source spatial‐data fusion system for environmental status assessment at continental scale,"The monitoring of the environment's status at continental scale involves the integration of information derived by the analysis of multiple, complex, multidisciplinary, and large‐scale phenomena. Thus, there is a need to define synthetic Environmental Indicators (EIs) that concisely represent these phenomena in a manner suitable for decision‐making. This research proposes a flexible system to define EIs based on a soft fusion of contributing environmental factors derived from multi‐source spatial data (mainly Earth Observation data). The flexibility is twofold: the EI can be customized based on the available data, and the system is able to cope with a lack of expert knowledge. The proposal allows a soft quantifier‐guided fusion strategy to be defined, as specified by the user through a linguistic quantifier such as ‘most of’. The linguistic quantifiers are implemented as Ordered Weighted Averaging operators. The proposed approach is applied in a case study to demonstrate the periodical computation of anomaly indicators of the environmental status of Africa, based on a 7‐year time series of dekadal Earth Observation datasets. Different experiments have been carried out on the same data to demonstrate the flexibility and robustness of the proposed method.",This work has been carried out within the Observatory for Land cover and Forest change (OLF) of the GeoLand project (2004–2006).

,pub.1038373155,10.1071/wf07103,,,,Mapping the severity of fire using object-based classification of IKONOS imagery,"Mapping fire severity is necessary in order (1) to locate areas in need of special or intense post-fire management; (2) to allow the study of fire impact and vegetation recovery; and (3) to validate fire risk and fire behaviour models. The present study aimed to develop a method to map the severity of fire by employing post-fire IKONOS imagery. The objective was to develop an object-oriented model that would distinguish between different degrees of fire severity and to assess the accuracy of the model by employing field-collected data. The work comprised five main consecutive steps, namely, field data collection, data preprocessing, image segmentation, image classification and accuracy assessment. An adapted version of the FIREMON (fire effects monitoring and inventory protocol) landscape assessment method was employed to quantitatively record fire severity in the field. As a result, two different datasets were used: one for training and developing the classification rules, and another one for assessing the accuracy of the classification. Separate and independent data were used for training and for accuracy assessment. Overall accuracy was estimated to be 83%, while the Kappa Index of Agreement obtained was 0.74. The main source of inaccuracy was the inability of IKONOS to penetrate the dense canopy of unburned vegetation. The main conclusion drawn from the present work was that object-based classification applied to IKONOS imagery has the potential to produce accurate maps of fire severity, especially in the case of the open Mediterranean forest.",The authors wish to express their appreciation to the Lebanese National Council for Scientific Research (CNRS) for providing financial assistance to pursue the current work.

Geo-rectified aerosol optical thickness (AOT), columnar water vapor (CWV) and spectral surface reflectance maps are generated from MERIS Level-1b data over land. The algorithm has been implemented so that AOT, CWV and reflectance products are provided on an operational manner, making no use of ancillary parameters apart from those attached to MERIS products. For this reason, it has been named Self-Contained Atmospheric Parameters Estimation from MERIS data (SCAPE-M). The fundamental basis of the algorithm and applicable error figures are presented in the first part of this paper. In particular, errors of ±0.03, ±4% and ±8% have been estimated for AOT, CWV and surface reflectance retrievals, respectively, by means of a sensitivity analysis based on a synthetic data set simulated under a usual MERIS scene configuration over land targets. The assumption of a fixed aerosol model, the coarse spatial resolution of the AOT product and the neglection of surface reflectance directional effects were also identified as limitations of SCAPE-M. Validation results are detailed in the second part of the paper. Comparison of SCAPE-M AOT retrievals with data from AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) stations showed an average Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.05, and an average correlation coefficient R2 of about 0.7–0.8. R2 values grew up to more than 0.9 in the case of CWV after comparison with the same stations. A good correlation is also found with the MERIS Level-2 ESA CWV product. Retrieved surface reflectance maps have been successfully compared with reflectance data derived from the Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (CHRIS) on board the PRoject for On-Board Autonomy (PROBA) in the first place. Reflectance retrievals have also been compared with reflectance data derived from MERIS images by the Bremen AErosol Retrieval (BAER) method. A good correlation in the red and near-infrared bands was found, although a considerably higher proportion of pixels was successfully processed by SCAPE-M.","AcknowledgmentThis work has been done in the frame of ESRIN/Contract No 16545/02/I-LG (Development of algorithms for the exploitation of MERIS data over land project).

,pub.1013938818,10.1016/j.rse.2008.02.009,,,,Global characterization of biomass-burning patterns using satellite measurements of fire radiative energy,"Remote sensing is the most practical means of measuring energy release from large open-air biomass burning. Satellite measurement of fire radiative energy (FRE) release rate or power (FRP) enables distinction between fires of different strengths. Based on a 1-km resolution fire data acquired globally by the MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) sensor aboard the Terra and Aqua satellites from 2000 to 2006, instantaneous FRP values ranged between 0.02 MW and 1866 MW, with global daily means ranging between 20 and 40 MW. Regionally, at the Aqua-MODIS afternoon overpass, the mean FRP values for Alaska, Western US, Western Australia, Quebec and the rest of Canada are significantly higher than these global means, with Quebec having the overall highest value of 85 MW. Analysis of regional mean FRP per unit area of land (FRP flux) shows that at peak fire season in certain regions, fires can be responsible for up to 0.2 W/m2 at peak time of day. Zambia has the highest regional monthly mean FRP flux of ~ 0.045 W/m2 at peak time of day and season, while the Middle East has the lowest value of ~ 0.0005 W/m2. A simple scheme based on FRP has been devised to classify fires into five categories, to facilitate fire rating by strength, similar to earthquakes and hurricanes. The scheme uses MODIS measurements of FRP at 1-km resolution as follows: category 1 (<100 MW), category 2 (100 to <500 MW), category 3 (500 to <1000 MW), category 4 (1000 to <1500 MW), category 5 (≥1500 MW). In most regions of the world, over 90% of fires fall into category 1, while only less than 1% fall into each of categories 3 to 5, although these proportions may differ significantly from day to day and by season. The frequency of occurrence of the larger fires is region specific, and could not be explained by ecosystem type alone. Time-series analysis of the proportions of higher category fires based on MODIS-measured FRP from 2002 to 2006 does not show any noticeable trend because of the short time period.","AcknowledgementsWe are very grateful to Luke Ellison, who developed the software tool for visualization and analysis of MODIS fire radiative power measurements, as shown in Fig. 1, during his internship at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in the summer of 2005.

For daytime scenes, our approach uses near infrared and short-wave infrared reflectance imagery. For nighttime scenes a simple short wave infrared radiance threshold is applied. Based on a statistical analysis of 100 ASTER scenes, we established omission and commission error rates for nine different regions. In most regions the probability of detection was between 0.8 and 0.9. Probabilities of false alarm varied between 9×10−8 (India) and 2×10−5 (USA/Canada). In most cases, the majority of false fire pixels were linked to clusters of true fire pixels, suggesting that most false fire pixels occur along ambiguous fire boundaries. We next consider fire characterization, and formulate an empirical method for estimating fire radiative power (FRP), a measure of fire intensity, using three ASTER thermal infrared channels. We performed a preliminary evaluation of our retrieval approach using four prescribed fires which were active at the time of the Terra overpass for which limited ground-truth data were collected. Retrieved FRP was accurate to within 20%, with the exception of one fire partially obscured by heavy soot.",AcknowledgementsWe thank Simon Hook (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) and two anonymous reviewers for helpful comments and technical suggestions.

Neither landscape patterns nor driving factors that affect them are evenly distributed in space. Accordingly, disturbances and biophysical factors interact in space through time. The aim of this paper is to assess the relative influence of topography and fire on the landscape patterns of a large forested area located in Sierra de Gredos (Central Spain) through time. A series of Landsat MSS images from 1975 to 1990, and a digital elevation model (DEM) were used to map fires, assess topographical complexity and evaluate changes in landscape composition and structure. Functional regions across the entire landscape were identified using different classification criteria (i.e., percentage burned area and topographic properties) to model topographic and fire impacts at regional scales. A canonical variance partition method, with a time series split-plot design, quantified the relative influence and co-variation of topography and fire on land cover patterns through time. Main results indicated that analyzing portions of the landscape under similar environmental conditions and fire histories, the effects of different fire regimes on the spatio-temporal dynamics of main land covers can be highlighted. However, the impact of fire on landscape patterns was high variable among regions due to the different regeneration abilities of main land covers, the topographic constraints and the fire histories of each region. Hence, broad patterns of fire related variance and co-variation with topography emerged across the entire area due to the different conditions of each landscape portion in which this large Mediterranean landscape was divided.","Funding was provided by the EC (contract EV96-0320, project LUCIFER).

The study area covers 1.6 million km2 of boreal forest in western Canada. The algorithm was intended to be consistent throughout the study period and region, and to avoid commission errors, so as to obtain a reliable sample of temporal trends in burned area in the region. The algorithm relies on temporal comparisons of several spectral indices (GEMI, BAI), as well as near infrared reflectance. It emphasizes the stability of the post-fire signal, to avoid false detections associated with cloud, cloud shadows, missed data and radiometric or geometric calibration between AVHRR sensors.Final results show a very consistent temporal adjustment to official statistics and fire perimeters, with very low commission error (<10%), but medium to high omission error (50%). Burned areas in the region were predominantly associated with coniferous forest cover, with the Taiga and Boreal Shield ecozones, in latitudes between 56 and 60°N, and predominantly at long distances from populated places.","AcknowledgementsWe are grateful to the following provincial fire management agencies for providing burned area maps for use in the validation: Alberta Sustainable Resource Development, Saskatchewan Environment, and Manitoba Conservation.

Our analyses were primarily based on the use of 30 m resolution ASTER and ETM+ imagery as our validation data. We found that at the 50% true positive detection probability mark, WFABBA requires four times more active fire area than is necessary for MOD14 to achieve the same probability of detection, despite the 16× factor separating the nominal spatial resolutions of the two products. Approximately 75% and 95% of all fires sampled were omitted by the MOD14 and WFABBA instantaneous products, respectively; whereas an omission error of 38% was obtained for WFABBA when considering the 30-minute interval of the GOES data. Commission errors for MOD14 and WFABBA were found to be similar and highly dependent on the vegetation conditions of the areas imaged, with the larger commission errors (approximately 35%) estimated over regions of active deforestation. Nonetheless, the vast majority (>80%) of the commission errors were indeed associated with recent burning activity where scars could be visually confirmed in the higher resolution data. Differences in thermal dynamics of vegetated and non-vegetated areas were found to produce a reduction of approximately 50% in the commission errors estimated towards the hours of maximum fire activity (i.e., early-afternoon hours) which coincided with the MODIS/Aqua overpass. Lastly, we demonstrate the potential use of temporal metrics applied to the mid-infrared bands of MODIS and GOES data to reduce the commission errors found with the validation analyses.","AcknowledgmentsA heartfelt thanks is dedicated to the late Alexandre Santos who so cheerfully helped with the implementation of the thermal couple data collection during three separate field campaigns.

,pub.1061610724,10.1109/tgrs.2008.915751,,,,Fire Detection and Fire Characterization Over Africa Using Meteosat SEVIRI,"Africa is the single largest continental source of biomass burning emissions and one where emission source strengths are characterized by strong diurnal and seasonal cycles. This paper describes the development of a fire detection and characterization algorithm for generating high temporal resolution African pyrogenic emission data sets using data from the geostationary spinning enhanced visible and infrared imager (SEVIRI). The algorithm builds on a prototype approach tested previously with preoperational SEVIRI data and utilizes both spatial and spectral detection methods whose thresholds adapt contextually within and between imaging slots. Algorithm validation is carried out via comparison to data from ~800 temporally coincident moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) scenes, and performance is significantly improved over the prior algorithm version, particularly in terms of detecting low fire radiative power (FRP) signals. On a per-fire basis, SEVIRI shows a good agreement with MODIS in terms of FRP measurement, with a small (3.7 MW) bias. In comparison to regional-scale total FRP derived from MODIS, SEVIRI underestimates this by, on average, 40% to 50% due to the nondetection of many low-intensity fire pixels (FRP < 50 MW). Frequency-magnitude analysis can be used to adjust fire radiative energy estimates for this effect, and taking this and other adjustments into account, SEVIRI-derived fuel consumption estimates for southern Africa from July to October 2004 are 259-339 Tg, with emission intensity peaking after midday and reducing by more than an order of magnitude each night.",,,IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing,,,Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE),"0196-2892, 1558-0644",,2008-04,2008,,,46,4,1200-1218,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Roberts, Gareth J.; Wooster, Martin J.","Roberts, Gareth J.

,pub.1026037428,10.1016/j.catena.2007.07.010,,,,Peat–water interrelationships in a tropical peatland ecosystem in Southeast Asia,"Interrelationships between peat and water were studied using a hydropedological modelling approach for adjacent relatively intact and degraded peatland in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The easy to observe degree of peat humification provided good guidance for the assignment of more difficult to measure saturated hydraulic conductivities to the acrotelm–catotelm hydrological system. Ideally, to prevent subsidence and fire, groundwater levels should be maintained between 40 cm below and 100 cm above the peat surface. Calculated groundwater levels for different years and for different months within a single year showed that these levels can drop deeper than the critical threshold of 40 cm below the peat surface whilst flooding of more than 100 cm above the surface was also observed. In July 1997, a dry El Niño year, areas for which deep groundwater levels were calculated coincided with areas that were on fire as detected from radar images. The relatively intact peatland showed resilience towards disturbance of its hydrological integrity whereas the degraded peatland was susceptible to fire. Hydropedological modelling identified areas with good restoration potential based on predicted flooding depth and duration. Groundwater level prediction maps can be used in fire hazard warning systems as well as in land utilization and restoration planning. These maps are also attractive tools to move from the dominant uni-sectoral approach in peatland resource management toward a much more promising multi-sectoral approach involving various forestry, agriculture and environment agencies. It is demonstrated that the combination of hydrology and pedology is essential for wise use of valuable but threatened tropical peatland ecosystems.",AcknowledgementThis study was supported by the European Union RESTORPEAT project (INCO-CT-2004-510931).,,Catena,,,Elsevier,"0341-8162, 1872-6887",,2008-04,2008,,2008-04,73,2,212-224,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Wösten, J.H.M.; Clymans, E.; Page, S.E.; Rieley, J.O.; Limin, S.H.","Wösten, J.H.M.

The relationship between satellite images and field collected FMC data was based on two methodologies: empirical relations and statistical models based on simulated reflectances derived from radiative transfer models (RTM). Both models were applied to the same validation data set to compare their performance. FMC of grassland and shrublands were estimated using a 5-year time series (2001–2005) of Terra moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) images. The simulated reflectances were based on the leaf level PROSPECT coupled with the canopy level SAILH RTM. The simulated spectra were generated for grasslands and shrublands according to their biophysical parameters traits and FMC range. Both models, empirical and statistical models based on RTM, offered similar accuracy with better determination coefficients for grasslands (r2=0.907, and 0.894, respectively) than for shrublands (r2=0.732 and 0.842, respectively). Although it is still necessary to test these equations in other areas with analogous types of vegetation, preliminary tests indicate that the adjustments based on simulated data offer similar results, but with greater robustness, than the empirical approach.","AcknowledgementsThis research has been funded by the Firemap project (CGL2004-060490C04-01/CLI) and the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science by means of the FPU grant program which supports Marta Yebra.

,pub.1007076631,10.1111/j.1365-2486.2008.01585.x,,,,Global characterization of fire activity: toward defining fire regimes from Earth observation data,"There is interest in the global community on how fire regimes are changing as a function of changing demographics and climate. The ground‐based data to monitor such trends in fire activity are inadequate at the global scale. Satellite observations provide a basis for such a monitoring system. In this study, a set of metrics were developed from 6 years of MODIS active fire data. The metrics were grouped into eight classes representing three axes of fire activity: density, season duration and interannual variability. These groups were compared with biophysical and human explanatory variables on a global scale. We found that more than 30% of the land surface has a significant fire frequency. The most extensive fire class exhibited high fire density, low duration and high variability and was found in boreal and tropical wet and dry environments. A high association was found between population distribution and fire persistence. Low GDP km−2 was associated with fire classes with high interannual variability and low seasonal duration. In areas with more economic resources, fires tend to be more regular and last longer. High fire duration and low interannual variability were associated with croplands, but often with low fire density. The study was constrained by the limited length of satellite data record but is a first step toward developing a comprehensive global assessment of fire regimes. However, more attention is needed by the global observing systems to provide the underpinning socio‐economic observations to better quantify and analyze the human characteristics of fire regimes.","As previously quoted, data for this analysis were downloaded from the following sources: Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN), UNEP‐GRID and IIASA.

Aerosol layer height is derived with great precision from space‐borne lidar, but horizontal sampling is very poor on a global basis. Aerosol height derived from space‐borne stereo imaging is limited to source plumes having discernable features. But coverage is vastly greater, and captures the cores of major fires, where buoyancy can be sufficient to lift smoke above the near‐surface boundary layer. Initial assessment of smoke injection from the Alaska‐Yukon region during summer 2004 finds at least about 10% of wildfire smoke plumes reached the free troposphere. Modeling of smoke environmental impacts can benefit from the combined strengths of the stereo and lidar observations.","We thank our colleagues on the Jet Propulsion Laboratory&#x27;s MISR instrument team and at the NASA Langley Research Center&#x27;s Atmospheric Sciences Data Center for their roles in producing the MISR data sets, and François‐Marie Bréon for sharing his insights on CALIPSO sampling.

A case study in the Ayora region (eastern Spain),"The Ayora region, situated about 60 km southwest of the city of Valencia/Spain, was chosen to demonstrate pathways of characterizing fire events and post-fire succession in Mediterranean ecosystems using multi-temporal satellite imagery. A corresponding time series of 6 Landsat MSS, 13 Landsat-5 TM and 1 Landsat-7 ETM+images, covering the period 1975—2000, was processed to account for geometric and radiometric distortions as well as sensor calibration. Spectral Mixture Analysis was applied to derive estimates of photosynthetic active green vegetation cover as a primary indicator.A combination of pixel-based linear trend analysis and diachronic thresholding was employed to procure a fire perimeter data base and characterize post-fire dynamics based on a temporally stratified trend analysis. The results were integrated with auxiliary information to evaluate driving factors and further interpreted in relation to field-based information on plant communities and post-fire succession patterns.Reflecting typical recovery phases with an initial establishment of grasses and herbaceous species, followed by a gradual development of a shrub layer and the subsequent colonization of tree individuals, temporal trajectories could be described by exponential functions and were related to plot-based botanical information.","AcknowledgementsThis study was partially carried out in the frame of the project ‘GeoRange — Geomatics in the Assessment and Sustainable Management of Mediterranean Rangelands’, which has been funded by the European Union, DG Research.

The project intended to obtain monthly burned-land maps of the entire region, from Mexico to Patagonia, using MODIS (moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer) reflectance data. The project has been organized in three different phases: acquisition and preprocessing of satellite data; discrimination of burned pixels; and validation of results. In the first phase, input data consisting of 32-day composites of MODIS 500-m reflectance data generated by the Global Land Cover Facility (GLCF) of the University of Maryland (College Park, Maryland, U.S.A.) were collected and processed. The discrimination of burned areas was addressed in two steps: searching for ""burned core"" pixels using postfire spectral indices and multitemporal change detection and mapping of burned scars using contextual techniques. The validation phase was based on visual analysis of Landsat and CBERS (China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite) images. Validation of the burned-land category showed an agreement ranging from 30% to 60%, depending on the ecosystem and vegetation species present. The total burned area for the entire year was estimated to be 153 215 km2. The most affected countries in relation to their territory were Cuba, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela. Burned areas were found in most land covers; herbaceous vegetation (savannas and grasslands) presented the highest proportions of burned area, while perennial forest had the lowest proportions. The importance of croplands in the total burned area should be taken with reserve, since this cover presented the highest commission errors. The importance of generating systematic products of burned land areas for different ecological processes is emphasized.","The AQL2004 project has been partially funded by the NASA‐START program, which covered the costs for the technical meetings. Support from the GOFC‐GOLD program is also acknowledged. The GLCF of the University of Maryland provided the MODIS 32‐day composites and the active‐fire data. High‐resolution images for validation purposes were obtained from INPE, CONAE, and ERMEXS (Estación de recepción México de la Constelación SPOT). All participant institutions have provided support to the participants to share costs of processing the data and validating the results.

For this purpose, three fires occurring in southern Spain were studied. Firstly, the displacements of burned and unburned pixels in the pre‐/post‐fire NIR‐MIR and NIR‐R bi‐spectral spaces were analysed with the aim of establishing which of the two indices was the most sensitive for discriminating severity levels. Then, the capacity of the two indices, both from a uni‐temporal (post‐fire) and bi‐temporal perspective (pre and post‐fire), to discriminate three severity levels was studied. Based on the results, it was decided that the most suitable way to assess wildfire severity by index segmentation was to discriminate between unburned and burned pixels according to their NBR pre‐/post‐fire difference values (dNBR), and, subsequently, to distinguish between pixels with an extreme and moderate severity based on the NBR post‐fire values. The thresholds calculated for these indices permitted fire severity mapping with an accuracy of 86.42% (±4.31%). These thresholds could be extrapolated to other fires with similar characteristics although a calculation of their own specific thresholds could improve the accuracy of the fire severity map obtained.","Thanks are given to the Environmental Department of Andalucía (Andalucía, Spain) for financial support.",,International Journal of Remote Sensing,,,Taylor & Francis,"0143-1161, 1366-5901",,2007-12-21,2007,2007-12-21,2008-02,29,4,1053-1073,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Escuin, S.; Navarro, R.; Fernández, P.","Escuin, S.

,pub.1010703956,10.1016/j.landurbplan.2007.06.002,,,,Expansion of the US wildland–urban interface,"For at least two decades, expansion of low-density residential development at the wildland–urban interface has been widely recognized as a primary factor influencing the management of US national forests. We estimate the location, extent, and trends in expansion of the wildland–urban interface (WUI) in the continental United States. We mapped the WUI by determining the intersection of housing density classes computed from refined US Census data with a map of wildfire hazards based on broad forest types using definitions of WUI from the Federal Register. Our methods allowed us to provide a more spatially precise estimation of the WUI that better reflects development patterns of interest to forest land managers. We defined three wildfire hazard classes based on vegetation type. “High” severity applies to vegetation types in which stand-replacing fires dominate both historical and recent fire regimes, e.g., lodgepole pine forest. “Low” severity applies where fuels and climate foster mostly low-intensity fires, e.g., aspen-birch forest. “High (historically low or variable)” applies to vegetation types in which fires historically were of low or variable intensity, but recently have often burned at high intensity because of a century of fire exclusion, e.g., southwestern ponderosa pine forest. In 2000, the WUI that includes a 3.2km community protection zone occupied 465,614km2, and contained over 12.5 million housing units. This is an expansion of over 52% from 1970, and by 2030 the WUI is likely to expand to at least 513,670km2 with the greatest expansion occurring in the intermountain west states. Roughly 89% of the WUI is privately owned land and about 65% of the WUI occurs in high or high (historically low or variable) severity fire regime classes.",AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by a grant from USDA NRI Award No. 2003-35401-13801.

,pub.1026675305,10.1007/s10980-007-9176-5,,,,Evidence of selective burning in Sardinia (Italy): which land-cover classes do wildfires prefer?,"The objective of this paper is to identify land-cover types where fire incidence is higher (preferred) or lower (avoided) than expected from a random null model. Fire selectivity may be characterized by the number of fires expected in a given land-cover class and by the mean surface area each fire will burn. These two components of fire pattern are usually independent of each other. For instance, fire number is usually connected with socioeconomic causes whereas fire size is largely controlled by fuel continuity. Therefore, on the basis of available fire history data for Sardinia (Italy) for the period 2000–2004 we analyzed fire selectivity of given land-cover classes keeping both variables separate from each other. The results obtained from analysis of 13,377 fires show that for most land-cover classes fire behaves selectively, with marked preference (or avoidance) in terms of both fire number and fire size. Fire number is higher than expected by chance alone in urban and agricultural areas. In contrast, in forests, grasslands, and shrublands, fire number is lower than expected. In grasslands and shrublands mean fire size is significantly larger than expected from a random null model whereas in urban areas, permanent crops, and heterogeneous agricultural areas there is significant resistance to fire spread. Finally, as concerns mean fire size, in our study area forests and arable land burn in proportion to their availability without any significant tendency toward fire preference or avoidance. The results obtained in this study contribute to fire risk assessment on the landscape scale, indicating that risk of wildfire is closely related to land cover.",We are grateful to the Editor and two anonymous referees for constructive comments and suggestions on the original draft of this paper.

,pub.1038601954,10.1016/j.atmosenv.2006.10.021,,,,Global estimation of CO emissions using three sets of satellite data for burned area,"Using three sets of satellite data for burned areas together with the tree cover imagery and a biogeochemical component of the Integrated Science Assessment Model (ISAM) the global emissions of CO and associated uncertainties are estimated for the year 2000. The available fuel load (AFL) is calculated using the ISAM biogeochemical model, which accounts for the aboveground and surface fuel removed by land clearing for croplands and pasturelands, as well as the influence on fuel load of various ecosystem processes (such as stomatal conductance, evapotranspiration, plant photosynthesis and respiration, litter production, and soil organic carbon decomposition) and important feedback mechanisms (such as climate and fertilization feedback mechanism). The ISAM estimated global total AFL in the year 2000 was about 687 Pg AFL. All forest ecosystems account for about 90% of the global total AFL. The estimated global CO emissions based on three global burned area satellite data sets (GLOBSCAR, GBA, and Global Fire Emissions Database version 2 (GFEDv2)) for the year 2000 ranges between 320 and 390Tg CO. Emissions from open fires are highest in tropical Africa, primarily due to forest cutting and burning. The estimated overall uncertainty in global CO emission is about ±65%, with the highest uncertainty occurring in North Africa and Middle East region (±99%). The results of this study suggest that the uncertainties in the calculated emissions stem primarily from the area burned data.","AcknowledgementsI thank Xiaojuan Yang for her assistance with ISAM terrestrial model calculations and Zhining Tao for his assistance with the uncertainty calculations.

In this study the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer was used to monitor land cover change in Borneo between 2002 and 2005 in order to assess the current extent of the forest cover, the deforestation rate and the role of fire. Using Landsat and ground observation for validation it was possible to discriminate 11 land cover classes. In 2002 57% of the land surface of Borneo was covered with forest of which 74% was dipterocarp and more than 23% peat swamp forest. The average deforestation rate between 2002 and 2005 was 1.7% yr− 1. The carbon‐rich ecosystem of peat swamp forests showed a deforestation rate of 2.2%. Almost 98% of all deforestation occurred within a range of 5 km to the forest edge. Fire is highly correlated with land cover changes. Most fires were detected in degraded forests. Ninety‐eight per cent of all forest fires were detected in the 5 km buffer zone, underlining that fire is the major driver for forest degradation and deforestation.","The authors would like to thank Diane Davies, University of Maryland, who provided the MODIS hotspot data.",,Global Change Biology,,,Wiley,"1354-1013, 1365-2486",,2007-08-21,2007,2007-08-21,2007-11,13,11,2329-2340,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"LANGNER, ANDREAS; MIETTINEN, JUKKA; SIEGERT, FLORIAN","LANGNER, ANDREAS (Remote Sensing Solutions GmbH, Wörthstr. 49, 81667 Munich, Germany,; GeoBio Center at the Ludwig‐Maximilians‐University, Richard Wagner Str. 10, 80333 Munich, Germany,); MIETTINEN, JUKKA (University of Helsinki, Department of Forest Resource Management, Latokartanonkaari 7 (PL27), 00014 Helsingin Yliopisto, Helsinki, Finland); SIEGERT, FLORIAN (Remote Sensing Solutions GmbH, Wörthstr. 49, 81667 Munich, Germany,)",,"LANGNER, ANDREAS (Remote Sensing Solutions (Germany); Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München); MIETTINEN, JUKKA (University of Helsinki); SIEGERT, FLORIAN (Remote Sensing Solutions (Germany))",Remote Sensing Solutions (Germany); Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München; University of Helsinki,grid.437477.4; grid.5252.0; grid.7737.4,Munich; Munich; Helsinki,; ; ,Germany; Germany; Finland,,,,,,257,17,,12.11,9,https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1111/j.1365-2486.2007.01442.x,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1041630477,41 Environmental Sciences; 4102 Ecological Applications,,,,,,C14 Geography and Environmental Studies,15 Life on Land,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,,
,pub.1019137008,10.1071/wf06136,,,,Estimation of dead fuel moisture content from meteorological data in Mediterranean areas. Applications in fire danger assessment,"The estimation of moisture content of dead fuels is a critical variable in fire danger assessment since it is strongly related to fire ignition and fire spread potential. This study evaluates the accuracy of two well-known meteorological moisture codes, the Canadian Fine Fuels Moisture Content and the US 10-h, to estimate fuel moisture content of dead fuels in Mediterranean areas. Cured grasses and litter have been used for this study. The study was conducted in two phases. The former aimed to select the most efficient code, and the latter to produce a spatial representation of that index for operational assessment of fire danger conditions. The first phase required calibration and validation of an estimation model based on regression analysis. Field samples were collected in the Cabañeros National Park (Central Spain) for a six-year period (1998–2003). The estimations were more accurate for litter (r2 between 0.52) than for cured grasslands (r2 0.11). In addition, grasslands showed higher variability in the trends among the study years. The two moisture codes evaluated in this paper offered similar trends, therefore, the 10-h code was selected since it is simpler to compute. The second phase was based on interpolating the required meteorological variables (temperature and relative humidity) to compute the 10-h moisture code. The interpolation was based on European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) predictions. Finally, a simple method to combine the estimations of dead fuel moisture content with other variables associated to fire danger is presented in this paper. This method estimates the probability of ignition based on the moisture of extinction of each fuel type.","This paper is derived from the Firemap project CGL2004-06049-C04-01/CLI, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education.

,pub.1048373703,10.1016/j.jag.2006.08.001,,,,Remotely sensed characterization of forest fuel types by using satellite ASTER data,"The characterization of fuel types is very important for computing spatial fire hazard and risk and simulating fire growth and intensity across a landscape. However, due to the complex nature of fuel characteristic a fuel map is considered one of the most difficult thematic layers to build up. The advent of sensors with increased spatial resolution may improve the accuracy and reduce the cost of fuels mapping. The objective of this research is to evaluate the accuracy and utility of imagery from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) satellite imagery. In order to ascertain how well ASTER data can provide an exhaustive classification of fuel properties a sample area characterized by mixed vegetation covers was analysed. The selected sample areas has an extension at around 60km2 and is located inside the Sila plateau in the Calabria Region (South of Italy). Fieldwork fuel type recognitions, performed before, after and during the acquisition of remote sensing ASTER data, were used as ground-truth dataset to assess the results obtained for the considered test area. The method comprised the following three steps: (I) adaptation of Prometheus fuel types for obtaining a standardization system useful for remotely sensed classification of fuel types and properties in the considered Mediterranean ecosystems; (II) model construction for the spectral characterization and mapping of fuel types based on a maximum likelihood (ML) classification algorithm; (III) accuracy assessment for the performance evaluation based on the comparison of ASTER-based results with ground-truth. Results from our analysis showed that the use ASTER data provided a valuable characterization and mapping of fuel types being that the achieved classification accuracy was higher than 90%.",,,International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation,,,Elsevier,"1569-8432, 1872-826X, 0303-2434",,2007-08,2007,,2007-08,9,3,225-234,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Lasaponara, Rosa; Lanorte, Antonio","Lasaponara, Rosa (National Research Council, Institute of Methodologies of Environmental Analysis, C. da S.

One of its components is the fire weather index (FWI) system, which has among others the drought code (DC). DC is used here as a surrogate of dead forest fuel moisture. DC values were computed from weather data acquired between 1993 and 1999 and compared to 10-day composite NOAA-AVHRR images acquired over Canadian northern boreal forests. They were yearly correlated with single compositing period and cumulative NDVI and surface temperature (ST) NOAA-AVHRR data. Correlations with cumulative spectral variables were stronger than with single compositing period variables and the best correlations occurred for the spring compositing periods (R between 0.57 and 0.80). Spring DC models using both single compositing period and cumulative spectral variables were established. Surface temperature-based indices were more often used in the models than NDVI-based indices. The models were stronger for dry or normal years than for wet years. Limitations and possible improvements of the models are discussed.","AcknowledgementsThe study was funded by a NSERC Discovery Grant awarded to Dr. B. Leblon.

,pub.1029001949,10.1890/06-1128.1,17708216,,,HUMAN INFLUENCE ON CALIFORNIA FIRE REGIMES,"Periodic wildfire maintains the integrity and species composition of many ecosystems, including the mediterranean-climate shrublands of California. However, human activities alter natural fire regimes, which can lead to cascading ecological effects. Increased human ignitions at the wildland-urban interface (WUI) have recently gained attention, but fire activity and risk are typically estimated using only biophysical variables. Our goal was to determine how humans influence fire in California and to examine whether this influence was linear, by relating contemporary (2000) and historic (1960-2000) fire data to both human and biophysical variables. Data for the human variables included fine-resolution maps of the WUI produced using housing density and land cover data. Interface WUI, where development abuts wildland vegetation, was differentiated from intermix WUI, where development intermingles with wildland vegetation. Additional explanatory variables included distance to WUI, population density, road density, vegetation type, and ecoregion. All data were summarized at the county level and analyzed using bivariate and multiple regression methods. We found highly significant relationships between humans and fire on the contemporary landscape, and our models explained fire frequency (R2 = 0.72) better than area burned (R2 = 0.50). Population density, intermix WUI, and distance to WUI explained the most variability in fire frequency, suggesting that the spatial pattern of development may be an important variable to consider when estimating fire risk. We found nonlinear effects such that fire frequency and area burned were highest at intermediate levels of human activity, but declined beyond certain thresholds. Human activities also explained change in fire frequency and area burned (1960-2000), but our models had greater explanatory power during the years 1960-1980, when there was more dramatic change in fire frequency. Understanding wildfire as a function of the spatial arrangement of ignitions and fuels on the landscape, in addition to nonlinear relationships, will be important to fire managers and conservation planners because fire risk may be related to specific levels of housing density that can be accounted for in land use planning. With more fires occurring in close proximity to human infrastructure, there may also be devastating ecological impacts if development continues to grow farther into wildland vegetation.","We thank Ayn Shlisky, Julie Yee, and an anonymous reviewer for insightful comments that improved our manuscript.

,pub.1013672974,10.1016/j.rse.2006.12.006,,,,Quantifying burn severity in a heterogeneous landscape with a relative version of the delta Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR),"Multi-temporal change detection is commonly used in the detection of changes to ecosystems. Differencing single band indices derived from multispectral pre- and post-fire images is one of the most frequently used change detection algorithms. In this paper we examine a commonly used index used in mapping fire effects due to wildland fire. Subtracting a post-fire from a pre-fire image derived index produces a measure of absolute change which then can be used to estimate total carbon release, biomass loss, smoke production, etc. Measuring absolute change however, may be inappropriate when assessing ecological impacts. In a pixel with a sparse tree canopy for example, differencing a vegetation index will measure a small change due stand-replacing fire. Similarly, differencing will produce a large change value in a pixel experiencing stand-replacing fire that had a dense pre-fire tree canopy. If all stand-replacing fire is defined as severe fire, then thresholding an absolute change image derived through image differencing to produce a categorical classification of burn severity can result in misclassification of low vegetated pixels. Misclassification of low vegetated pixels also happens when classifying severity in different vegetation types within the same fire perimeter with one set of thresholds. Comparisons of classifications derived from thresholds of dNBR and relative dNBR data for individual fires may result in similar classification accuracies. However, classifications of relative dNBR data can produce higher accuracies on average for the high burn severity category than dNBR classifications derived from a universal set of thresholds applied across multiple fires. This is important when mapping historic fires where precise field based severity data may not be available to aid in classification. Implementation of a relative index will also allow a more direct comparison of severity between fires across space and time which is important for landscape level analysis. In this paper we present a relative version of dNBR based upon field data from 14 fires in the Sierra Nevada mountain range of California, USA. The methods presented may have application to other types of disturbance events.","AcknowledgementsThis work was funded through the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region Fire and Aviation Management Program.

,pub.1026135648,10.1016/j.rse.2006.11.018,,,,Characterization of the tropical diurnal fire cycle using VIRS and MODIS observations,"Seven years of data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Visible and Infrared Scanner (VIRS) were used to characterize the average diurnal fire cycle in 15 regions of the tropics and sub-tropics. Bias errors in the resulting diurnal cycles were either avoided or removed through a combination of judicious region selection and the application of corrections to compensate for cloud obscuration and time-dependent “blind spots” in the fire-detection capability of the VIRS sensor. Supplementary data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA's Terra satellite aided this process. In all regions, the local time of peak burning fell between 13:00 and 18:30, with fire activity peaking distinctly earlier for the heavily forested regions. The time period of the central 50% of total daily fire activity varied from a minimum of 1.3 h in North Central Africa to a maximum of 5.5 h in Eastern Australia. In general, shorter periods of burning were associated with greater tree cover. Using the diurnal cycles obtained for each region, an analysis of the drift in the local overpass times of the NOAA-7 through NOAA-14 afternoon satellites was performed. Results show that very large, spurious trends are likely to occur in a long-term Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) fire record due to differences in diurnal sampling over time.","AcknowledgementsI thank Chris Justice, Ivan Csiszar, Eric Kasischke, Richard Ellis, and Wilfrid Schroeder of the University of Maryland for helpful technical discussions, and Bill Teng and Hualan Rui of the NASA Goddard Distributed Active Archive Center for graciously processing several terabytes of TRMM VIRS data within the TRMM Data Mining Service.

However, the first method is limited in terms of spatial coverage and cost effectiveness and the second is site- and data-specific. Since alternative approaches based on radiative transfer models (RTM) have been usefully applied in retrieving several biophysical plant parameters (leaf area index, water and dry matter content, chlorophyll), this paper has applied the inversion of a simulation model to estimate burn severity in terms of the Composite Burn Index (CBI). The performance of the model inversion method was compared to standard empirical techniques. The study area chosen was a large forest fire in central Spain which occurred in July 2005. The model inversion showed the most accurate estimation for high severity levels (for CBI>2.7, RMSE=0.30) and for unburned areas (CBI<0.5, RMSE=0). In both methodologies, the error associated to CBI from 0.5 to 2.7 was not acceptable (RMSE>0.7), because it is higher than 25% of the total range of the index. Finally, burn severity maps from both methods were compared.",AcknowledgementsSpecial thanks to the Spanish Forest Service staff of the Province of Guadalajara who have been extremely helpful during the fieldwork campaign.

,pub.1027466801,10.1016/j.rse.2006.03.019,,,,Assessment of fire severity and species diversity in the southern Appalachians using Landsat TM and ETM+ imagery,"Relatively little is known about the disturbance ecology of large wildfires in the southern Appalachians. The occurrence of a 4000-ha wildfire in the Linville Gorge Wilderness area in western North Carolina has provided a rare opportunity to study a large fire with a range of severities. The objectives of this study were to 1) assess the potential for using multi-temporal Landsat imagery to map fire severity in the southern Appalachians, 2) examine the influences of topography and forest community type on the spatial pattern of fire severity; and 3) examine the relationship between predicted fire severity and changes in species richness. A non-linear regression equation predicted a field-based composite burn index (CBI) as a function of change in the Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) with an R2 of 0.71. Fire severity was highest on drier landforms located on upper hillslopes, ridges, and on southwest aspects, and was higher in pine communities than in other forest types. Predicted CBI was positively correlated with changes in species richness and with the post-fire cover of pine seedlings (Pinus virginiana, P. rigida, and P. pungens), suggesting that burn severity maps can be used to predict community-level fire effects across large landscapes. Despite the relatively large size of this fire for the southern Appalachians, severity was strongly linked to topographic variability and pre-fire vegetation, and spatial variation in fire severity was correlated with changes in species richness. Thus, the Linville Gorge fire appears to have generally reinforced the ecological constraints imposed by underlying environmental gradients.","AcknowledgementsRobert Peet provided access to archived material in the North Carolina Vegetation Survey database.

,pub.1051164875,10.1071/wf06081,,,,Relationships between seasonal patterns of live fuel moisture and meteorological drought indices for Mediterranean shrubland species,"Measurements of seasonal patterns of live fuel moisture content and ignitability (in terms of time to ignition) of four Mediterranean shrub species were performed in North Western Sardinia (Italy). Relationships between the two variables were evaluated. Relationships between live fuel moisture content and environmental conditions (i.e. rainfall, air temperature and soil moisture) were analysed. Two groups of species were identified in relation to the different response of live fuel moisture content to seasonal meteorological conditions. Seasonal patterns of live fuel moisture content were also compared with five meteorological drought indices: Duff Moisture Code and Drought Code of the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index System, Keetch–Byram Drought Index, Canopy Drought Stress Index and Cumulative Water Balance Index. In addition, the capability of the meteorological drought indices to describe moisture variation for each species was evaluated. Although the Drought Code was formulated to describe changes in the moisture content of dead fuel, it was shown to have a good potential for modelling live fuel moisture variation of a group of shrubland species that are sensitive to meteorological conditions, with a clear and large decrease of moisture content during the drought season.","This work was funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Scientific Research (MIUR), Grant No. PON-13018.",,International Journal of Wildland Fire,,,CSIRO Publishing,"1049-8001, 1448-5516",,2007-05-01,2007,2007-05-01,2007,16,2,232-241,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Pellizzaro, G.; Cesaraccio, C.; Duce, P.; Ventura, A.; Zara, P.","Pellizzaro, G.

,pub.1002150191,10.1029/2005jg000125,,,,Mapping wildfire danger at regional scale with an index model integrating coarse spatial resolution remote sensing data,"Wildfires are a prevalent natural hazard in the south of France. Planners need a permanent fire danger assessment valid for several years over a territory as large and heterogeneous as Midi‐Pyrénées region. To this end, we developed an expert knowledge‐based index model adapted to the specific features of the study area. The fire danger depends on two complementary elements: spatial occurrence and fire intensity. Among the GIS layers identified as input variables for modeling, vegetation fire susceptibility is one of the most influent. However, the main difficulty at this scale is the scarcity or the lack of exhaustiveness of the data. In this respect, remote sensing imagery is capable of providing relevant information. We proposed to calculate an annual relative greenness index (annual RGRE) that reflects vegetation dryness in summer. We processed times series of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from SPOT‐VEGETATION images over the last six available years (1998 to 2003). The first step was to verify that these images characterize vegetation types and highlight intraannual and interannual response variability. It is then possible to identify phenological stages corresponding to the maximum NDVI (and therefore to maximum photosynthetic activity) during the growing season, the minimum NDVI at the end of the growing season and the minimum NDVI during winter period. These phenology metrics ground the annual RGRE calculation. Values obtained for each observation year show significant correlation (r2 = 0.70) with the De Martonne aridity index calculated for the same period. A synthesis of yearly index was integrated in the model as a variable that expresses fire susceptibility.",,,Journal of Geophysical Research,,,American Geophysical Union (AGU),"0148-0227, 2156-2202",,2007-04-18,2007,2007-04-18,2007,112,G2,,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Chéret, Véronique; Denux, Jean Philippe","Chéret, Véronique (Laboratory of Remote Sensing and Land Management, Graduate School of Purpan, Toulouse, France); Denux, Jean Philippe (Laboratory of Remote Sensing and Land Management, Graduate School of Purpan, Toulouse, France)",,"Chéret, Véronique (Laboratory of Remote Sensing and Land Management, Graduate School of Purpan, Toulouse, France); Denux, Jean Philippe (Laboratory of Remote Sensing and Land Management, Graduate School of Purpan, Toulouse, France)",,,,,,,,,,,23,4,,6.72,3,https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1029/2005JG000125,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1002150191,37 Earth Sciences; 3704 Geoinformatics,,,,,,C14 Geography and Environmental Studies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,,

This paper examines current practices, problems, and prospects of image classification. The emphasis is placed on the summarization of major advanced classification approaches and the techniques used for improving classification accuracy. In addition, some important issues affecting classification performance are discussed. This literature review suggests that designing a suitable image‐processing procedure is a prerequisite for a successful classification of remotely sensed data into a thematic map. Effective use of multiple features of remotely sensed data and the selection of a suitable classification method are especially significant for improving classification accuracy. Non‐parametric classifiers such as neural network, decision tree classifier, and knowledge‐based classification have increasingly become important approaches for multisource data classification. Integration of remote sensing, geographical information systems (GIS), and expert system emerges as a new research frontier. More research, however, is needed to identify and reduce uncertainties in the image‐processing chain to improve classification accuracy.","The authors wish to acknowledge the support from the Center for the Study of Institutions, Population, and Environmental Change (CIPEC) at Indiana University, through funding from the National Science Foundation (grant NSF SBR no. 9906826).",,International Journal of Remote Sensing,,,Taylor & Francis,"0143-1161, 1366-5901",,2007-03-17,2007,2007-03-17,2007-03,28,5,823-870,Closed,Article,Review Article,"Lu, D.; Weng, Q.","Lu, D.

The distributions of these materials affect post-fire processes of erosion, nutrient cycling, and vegetation regrowth. We analyzed high spatial resolution (2.4 m pixel size) Airborne Visible and Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) data collected over the Cerro Grande fire, to map post-fire surface cover into 10 classes, including ash, soil minerals, scorched conifer trees, and green vegetation. The Cerro Grande fire occurred near Los Alamos, New Mexico, in May 2000. The AVIRIS data were collected September 3, 2000. The surface cover map revealed complex patterns of ash, iron oxide minerals, and clay minerals in areas of complete combustion. Scorched conifer trees, which retained dry needles heated by the fire but not fully combusted by the flames, were found to cover much of the post-fire landscape. These scorched trees were found in narrow zones at the edges of completely burned areas. A surface cover map was also made using Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) data, collected September 5, 2000, and a maximum likelihood, supervised classification. When compared to AVIRIS, the Landsat classification grossly overestimated cover by dry conifer and ash classes and severely underestimated soil and green vegetation cover. In a comparison of AVIRIS surface cover to the Burned Area Emergency Rehabilitation (BAER) map of burn severity, the BAER high burn severity areas did not capture the variable patterns of post-fire surface cover by ash, soil, and scorched conifer trees seen in the AVIRIS map. The BAER map, derived from air photos, also did not capture the distribution of scorched trees that were observed in the AVIRIS map. Similarly, the moderate severity class of Landsat-derived burn severity maps generated from the differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) calculation had low agreement with the AVIRIS classes of scorched conifer trees. Burn severity and surface cover images were found to contain complementary information, with the dNBR map presenting an image of degree of change caused by fire and the AVIRIS-derived map showing specific surface cover resulting from fire.","AcknowledgmentsGreg Cole at Los Alamos National Laboratories kindly shared the AVIRIS data used in this study.

,pub.1049145971,10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2006.08.001,,,,Mapping lightning/human-caused wildfires occurrence under ignition point location uncertainty,"Fire managers need to study fire history in terms of occurrence in order to understand and model the spatial distribution of the causes of ignition. Fire atlases are useful open sources of information, recording each single fire event by means of its geographical position. In such cases the fire event is considered as point-based, rather than area-based data, completely losing its surface nature. Thus, an accurate method is needed to estimate continuous density surfaces from ignition points where location is affected by a certain degree of uncertainty. Recently, the fire scientific community has focused its attention on the kernel density interpolation technique in order to convert point-based data into continuous surface or surface-data. The kernel density technique needs a priori setting of smoothing parameters, such as the bandwidth size. Up to now, the bandwidth size was often based on subjective choices still needing expert knowledge, eventually supported by empirical decisions, thus leading to serious uncertainties. Nonetheless, a geostatistical model able to describe the point concentration and consequently the clustering degree is required. This paper tries to solve such issues by implementing the kernel density adaptive mode. Lightning/human-caused fires occurrence was investigated in the region of Aragón's autonomy over 19 years (1983–2001) using 3428 and 4195 ignition points respectively for the two causes of fire origin. An analytical calibration procedure was implemented to select the most reliable density surfaces to reduce under/over-density estimation, overcoming the current drawbacks to define it by visual inspection or personal interpretation. Besides, ignition point location uncertainty was investigated to check the sensitivity of the proposed model. The different concentration degree and the dissimilar spatial pattern of the two datasets, allow testing the proposed calibration methodology under several conditions. After having discovered the slight sensitivity of the model to the exact point position, the obtained density surfaces for the two causes were combined to discover hotspot areas and spatial patterns of the two causes. Evident differences in spatial location of the origin causes were noted and described. The general trend follows the geographical features and the human activity of the study areas. The proposed technique should be promising to support decision-making in wildfire prevention actions, because of the occurrence map can be used as a response variable in fire risk predicting models.","AcknowledgementsThe authors wish to thank Prof. Vittorio Leone, Mr. Marco Trombetti for their helpful advices in the early stages of this research, Ms. T.

,pub.1039537680,10.1007/s10980-006-9056-4,,,,Changes in land-use/land-cover patterns in Italy and their implications for biodiversity conservation,"Land-use/land-cover change is the most important factor in causing biodiversity loss. The Mediterranean region has been affected by antropic disturbance for thousands of years, and is, nowadays, one of the most significantly altered hotspots in the world. However, in the last years a significant increase in forest cover has been measured. These new patterns are independent from planned conservation strategies and appear to have a substantial impact on landscapes and biodiversity. We used three land-use/land-cover maps (from 1960 to 2000) covering the Italian peninsula to analyze the pattern of land-use/land-cover change. We measured an increase in forests, especially in mountains, an increase in artificial areas, especially in coastal zones, and a decrease in pastures. Intensively cultivated areas showed a limited decrease while extensively cultivated ones showed a marked decrease. In the same period mammal and bird species followed a similar pattern, with forest birds, ungulates and carnivores increasing, and typically Mediterranean species decreasing. We suggest that our results may provide important information, which could be useful for conservation planning in the entire Mediterranean hotspot. We suggest that an increasing conservation effort should be made to protect the Mediterranean-type forests and scrublands, as well as traditional agricultural practices. Moreover, future conservation efforts should consider the broad socio-political and ecological processes that are most likely to occur across the whole hotspot, especially along coastal areas, and the network of protected areas should be functionally integrated in a conservation strategy that includes the human-dominated landscape.","This work was supported by the Directorate for Nature Conservation (Italian Ministry of the Environment).

Satellite remote sensing has supplied a suitable alternative to conventional techniques for mapping the extent of burned areas, as well as for providing post-fire related information (such as the type and severity of burn). The aim of the present study was to develop an object-based classification model for mapping the type of fire using very high spatial resolution imagery (Ikonos). The specific objectives were: (i) to distinguish between surface burn and canopy burn; and (ii) to assess the accuracy of the classification results by employing field survey data. The methodology involved two consecutive steps, namely image segmentation and image classification. First, image objects were extracted at different scales using multi-resolution segmentation procedures, and then both spectral and contextual object information was employed to classify the objects. The accuracy assessment revealed very promising results (approximately 87% overall accuracy with a Kappa Index of Agreement of 0.74). Classification accuracy was mainly affected by the density of the canopy. This could be attributed to the inability of the optical sensors to penetrate dense canopy to detect fire-affected areas. The main conclusion drawn in the present study is that object-oriented classification can be used to accurately distinguish and map areas of surface and crown fire spread, especially those occurring in open Mediterranean forests.",,,International Journal of Wildland Fire,,,CSIRO Publishing,"1049-8001, 1448-5516",,2006-12-07,2006,2006-12-07,2006,15,4,457-462,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Mitri, George H.; Gitas, Ioannis Z.","Mitri, George H.

However, the spatial interactions among the two processes (land-use/land cover change [LULC] and fire) are poorly known. Here, we analysed the relative effect of LULC change and fire on the landscape structure of an area of Central Spain frequently affected by fire. A series of Landsat MSS images from 1975 to 1990 was analysed to quantify annual changes in LULC, map fire perimeters and evaluate the changes in landscape properties. The temporal dynamics were analysed by annually computing the fraction occupied by each LULC type and landscape structural properties (number, size, shape and arrangement of patches) that might play a role in fire propagation. All of these were calculated separately for the unburned or the burned areas during the study period, as well as for the entire area. At the whole landscape level, or in the unburned area, LULC changes were small, yet the two more flammable LULC types tended to increase, and the landscape tended to become more homogeneous. In the burned area, the area covered by pine woodlands tended to decrease, and that covered by shrublands to increase. Burned areas turned into shrublands only five years after fire. Landscape indices indicative of reduced fragmentation were also found. Both LULC change and fire altered landscape patterns in the whole area to create a less fragmented and more contiguous landscape than in 1975.

Much of the public and scientific discussion of changes in western United States wildfire has focused instead on the effects of 19th- and 20th-century land-use history. We compiled a comprehensive database of large wildfires in western United States forests since 1970 and compared it with hydroclimatic and land-surface data. Here, we show that large wildfire activity increased suddenly and markedly in the mid-1980s, with higher large-wildfire frequency, longer wildfire durations, and longer wildfire seasons. The greatest increases occurred in mid-elevation, Northern Rockies forests, where land-use histories have relatively little effect on fire risks and are strongly associated with increased spring and summer temperatures and an earlier spring snowmelt.",,,Science,,,American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS),"0036-8075, 1095-9203",,2006-07-06,2006,2006-07-06,2006-08-18,313,5789,940-943,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Westerling, A.

Every year, around 45,000 forest fires break out in the Mediterranean basin causing the destruction of about 2.6 million hectares (FAO, 2001). In Italy, as in other countries of the Mediterranean Basin, a small number of fires generally destroy a large percentage of the total burned areas every year. In these cases, the use of coarse resolution satellite sensors appears to be very useful for the discrimination of burned areas.In this study, SPOT-Vegetation (SPOT-VGT) data at full spatial resolution were analysed in order to investigate the spectral features of burned areas observed in the Mediterranean ecosystems in the Calabria Region during the 1998 fire season. Among the total fire events occurred in the considered period wildland fires larger than 1000ha were selected for this study. SPOT-VGT imagery acquired before and after fire events were considered. Single channels or spectral indices suitable/or specifically designed for burned areas mapping were analysed. In particular near-infrared (NIR), short-wave infrared reflectance (SWIR), albedo, normalized difference of vegetation index (NDVI), normalized difference of infrared index (NDII), burned area index (BAI), global environmental monitoring index (GEMI) and soil adjusted vegetation index (SAVI), were considered in this study. The changes observed before and after fire occurrence in the considered parameters were presented and discussed. Results showed that among the spectral indices considered in this work, the highest discrimination capability was generally observed for NDII, SAVI, GEMI, BAI and NIR, nevertheless, strongly differences were observed from one fire event to another, and this fact suggests that the discrimination capability must be analysed coupled with the specific land covers affected by fire.","AcknowledgmentsThe author wishes to thank D.

Despite the importance of fire intensity as a key element of the fire regime, it is seldom measured or included in fire records. 2 We estimated fire intensity in the Kruger National Park, South Africa, by documenting fuel loads, fuel moisture contents, rates of fire spread and the heat yields of fuel in 956 experimental plot burns over 21 years. 3 Individual fires were conducted in five different months (February, April, August, October and December) and at five different return intervals (1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 years). Estimated fire intensities ranged from 28 to 17 905 kW m−1. Fire season had a significant effect on fire intensity. Mean fire intensities were lowest in summer fires (1225 kW m−1), increased in autumn fires (1724 kW m−1) and highest in winter fires (2314 kW m−1); they were associated with a threefold difference between the mean moisture content of grass fuels in winter (28%) and summer (88%). 4 Mean fuel loads increased with post‐fire age, from 2964 kg ha−1 on annually burnt plots to 3972 kg ha−1 on biennial, triennial and quadrennial burnt plots (which did not differ significantly), but decreased to 2881 kg ha−1 on sexennial burnt plots. Fuel loads also increased with increasing rainfall over the previous 2 years. 5 Mean fire intensities showed no significant differences between annual burns and burns in the biennial, triennial and quadrennial categories, despite lower fuel loads in annual burns, suggesting that seasonal fuel moisture effects overrode those of fuel load. Mean fire intensity in sexennial burns was less than half that of other burns (638 vs. 1969 kW m−1). 6 We used relationships between season of fire, fuel loads and fire intensity in conjunction with the park's fire records to reconstruct broad fire intensity regimes. Changes in management from regular prescribed burning to ‘natural’ fires over the past four decades have resulted in a decrease in moderate‐intensity fires and an increase in high‐intensity fires. 7 The highest fire intensities measured in our study (11 000 – > 17 500 kW m−1) were significantly higher than those previously reported for African savannas, but were similar to those in South American cerrado vegetation. The mean fire intensity for late dry season (winter) fires in our study was less than half that reported for late dry season fires in savannas in northern Australia. 8 Synthesis and applications. Fire intensity has important effects on savanna vegetation, especially on the dynamics of the tree layer. Fire intensity varies with season (because of differences in fuel moisture) as well as with fuel load. Managers of African savannas can manipulate fire intensity by choosing the season of fire, and further by burning in years with higher or lower fuel loads. The basic relationships described here can also be used to enhance fire records, with a view to building a long‐term data set for the ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of fire management.

,pub.1012952913,10.1016/j.atmosenv.2006.02.010,,,,Estimating emissions from fires in North America for air quality modeling,"Fires contribute substantial emissions of trace gases and particles to the atmosphere. These emissions can impact air quality and even climate. We have developed a modeling framework to estimate the emissions from fires in North and parts of Central America (10–71°N and 55–175°W) by taking advantage of a combination of complementary satellite and ground-based data to refine estimates of fuel loadings. Various satellite drivers, including the MODIS Thermal Anomalies Product, the Global Land Cover Characteristics 2000 dataset, and the MODIS Vegetation Continuous Fields Product were used in conjunction with data mined from literature to determine fire location and timing, fuel loadings, and emission factors. Daily emissions of particulate matter and numerous trace gases from fires were estimated using this method for three years (2002–2004). Annual emission estimates differ by as much as a factor of 2 (CO emissions for North America ranged from 22.6 to 39.5Tgyr−1). Regional variations in emissions correspond to different fire seasons within the region. For example, the highest emissions from Central America and Mexico occur in the late spring whereas the highest emissions from the United States and Canada occur during the summer months. Comparisons of these results with other published estimates of CO emission estimates from fire show reasonable agreement, but substantial uncertainties remain in the estimation techniques. We suggest methods whereby future emissions models can reduce these uncertainties.",AcknowledgmentsThe authors thank Thomas Karl and Louisa Emmons for their useful comments and inputs to this manuscript.

We examined the potential for satellite imagery (Satellite Pour l’Observation de la Terre [SPOT2] and Landsat7) to detect and map fire severity patterns in a rugged landscape with variable vegetation near Sydney, Australia. A post-fire, vegetation-based indicator of fire intensity (burnt shrub branch tip diameters, representing the size of fuel consumed) was also used to explore whether fire severity patterns can be used to retrospectively infer patterns of fire intensity. Six severity classes (ranging from unburnt to complete crown consumption) were defined using aerial photograph interpretation and a field assessment across five vegetation types of varying height and complexity (sedge-swamp, heath, woodland, open forest, and tall forest). Using established Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) differencing methodology, SPOT2 and Landsat7 imagery yielded similar broad-scale severity patterns across the study area. This was despite differences in image resolution (10 m and 30 m, respectively) and capture dates (2 months and 9 months apart, respectively). However, differences in the total areas mapped for some severity classes were found. In particular, there was reduced differentiation between unburnt and low-severity areas and between crown-scorched and crown-consumed areas when using the Landsat7 data. These differences were caused by fine-scale classification anomalies and were most likely associated with seasonal differences in vegetation condition (associated with time of image capture), post-fire movement of ash, resprouting of vegetation, and low sun elevation. Relationships between field severity class and NDVIdifference values revealed that vegetation type does influence the detection of fire severity using these types of satellite data: regression slopes were greater for woodland, forest, and tall forest data than for sedge-swamp and heath data. The effect of vegetation type on areas mapped in each fire severity class was examined but found to be minimal in the present study due to the uneven distribution of vegetation types in the study area (woodland and open forest cover 86% of the landscape). Field observations of burnt shrub branch tips, which were used as a surrogate for fire intensity, revealed that relationships between fire severity and fire intensity are confounded by vegetation type (mainly height). A method for inferring fire intensity from remotely sensed patterns of fire severity was proposed in which patterns of fire severity and vegetation type are combined.",,,International Journal of Wildland Fire,,,CSIRO Publishing,"1049-8001, 1448-5516",,2006-05-31,2006,2006-05-31,2006,15,2,213-226,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Hammill, Kate A.; Bradstock, Ross A.","Hammill, Kate A.

Fire severity was characterized as high, moderate, or low based on crown scorch and consumption, and changes in soil structure. In both fires, vegetation plots with southern aspects were more likely to burn with high severity than plots with eastern, northern, or western aspects. This was the only consistent predictor across both fires. In the Quartz fire, we found that plots at higher elevations and with larger diameter trees were more likely to burn with low or moderate severity. These correlations may have been influenced in part by the effects of unmeasured weather conditions. We found few strong correlates in the Big Bar complex, owing in part to the fact that most (75%) of our plots were in the low-severity category, providing relatively little variation. These results, in combination with previous studies of fire severity in the Klamath-Siskiyou region, suggest that areas with southern aspects tend to burn with greater severity than those of other aspects, areas with large trees burn less severely than those with smaller trees, and that correlates of fire severity vary extensively among fires.",,,International Journal of Wildland Fire,,,CSIRO Publishing,"1049-8001, 1448-5516",,2006-05-31,2006,2006-05-31,2006,15,2,237-245,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Alexander, John D.; Seavy, Nathaniel E.; Ralph, C.

                  The characterization and mapping of fuel types is one of the most important factors that should be taken into consideration for wildland fire prevention and prefire planning. This research aims to investigate the usefulness of hyperspectral data to recognize and map fuel types in order to ascertain how well remote sensing data can provide an exhaustive classification of fuel properties. For this purpose airborne hyperspectral Multispectral Infrared and Visible Imaging Spectrometer (MIVIS) data acquired in November 1998 have been analyzed for a test area of 60 km2 selected inside Pollino National Park in the south of Italy. Fieldwork fuel-type recognitions, performed at the same time as remote sensing data acquisition, were used as a ground-truth dataset to assess the results obtained for the considered test area. The method comprised the following three steps: 1) adaptation of Prometheus fuel types for obtaining a standardization system useful for remotely sensed classification of fuel types and properties in the considered Mediterranean ecosystems; 2) model construction for the spectral characterization and mapping of fuel types based on a maximum likelihood (ML) classification algorithm; and 3) accuracy assessment for the performance evaluation based on the comparison of MIVIS-based results with ground truth. Results from our analysis showed that the use of remotely sensed data at high spatial and spectral resolution provided a valuable characterization and mapping of fuel types being that the achieved classification accuracy was higher than 90%.",,,Earth Interactions,,,American Meteorological Society,"1087-3562, 0003-0007",,2006-05-01,2006,2009-07-21,2006-05-01,10,13,1-11,All OA; Hybrid,Article,Research Article,"Lasaponara, Rosa; Lanorte, Antonio; Pignatti, Stefano","Lasaponara, Rosa (National Research Council, Institute of Methodologies of Environmental Analysis, Potenza, Italy); Lanorte, Antonio (National Research Council, Institute of Methodologies of Environmental Analysis, Potenza, Italy); Pignatti, Stefano (National Research Council, Institute of Methodologies of Environmental Analysis, Potenza, Italy)",,"Lasaponara, Rosa (Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis); Lanorte, Antonio (Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis); Pignatti, Stefano (Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis)",Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis,grid.466609.b,Tito,,Italy,,,,,,16,4,,1.4,3,https://doi.org/10.1175/ei165.1,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1047184947,37 Earth Sciences; 3701 Atmospheric Sciences; 3705 Geology; 3707 Hydrology,,,,,,C14 Geography and Environmental Studies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,,
,pub.1043069054,10.5194/acp-6-957-2006,,,,Global estimation of burned area using MODIS active fire observations,"Abstract. We present a method for estimating monthly burned area globally at 1° spatial resolution using Terra MODIS data and ancillary vegetation cover information. Using regression trees constructed for 14 different global regions, MODIS active fire observations were calibrated to burned area estimates derived from 500-m MODIS imagery based on the assumption that burned area is proportional to counts of fire pixels. Unlike earlier methods, we allow the constant of proportionality to vary as a function of tree and herbaceous vegetation cover, and the mean size of monthly cumulative fire-pixel clusters. In areas undergoing active deforestation, we implemented a subsequent correction based on tree cover information and a simple measure of fire persistence. Regions showing good agreement between predicted and observed burned area included Boreal Asia, Central Asia, Europe, and Temperate North America, where the estimates produced by the regression trees were relatively accurate and precise. Poorest agreement was found for southern-hemisphere South America, where predicted values of burned area are both inaccurate and imprecise; this is most likely a consequence of multiple factors that include extremely persistent cloud cover, and lower quality of the 500-m burned area maps used for calibration. Application of our approach to the nine remaining regions yielded comparatively accurate, but less precise, estimates of monthly burned area. We applied the regional regression trees to the entire archive of Terra MODIS fire data to produce a monthly global burned area data set spanning late 2000 through mid-2005. Annual totals derived from this approach showed good agreement with independent annual estimates available for nine Canadian provinces, the United States, and Russia. With our data set we estimate the global annual burned area for the years 2001-2004 to vary between 2.97 million and 3.74 million km2, with the maximum occurring in 2001. These coarse-resolution burned area estimates may serve as a useful interim product until long-term burned area data sets from multiple sensors and retrieval approaches become available.",,,Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics,,,Copernicus Publications,"1680-7316, 1680-7324",,2006-03-28,2006,2006-03-28,,6,4,957-974,All OA; Gold,Article,Research Article,"Giglio, L.; van der Werf, G.

First, the model must be robust enough to handle climate data outside the current range without producing unacceptable instability in the output. In addition, the technique should have automatic search mechanisms built in to select the most appropriate values for input model parameters for each species so that minimal effort is required when these parameters are fine-tuned for individual tree species. We evaluated four statistical models—Regression Tree Analysis (RTA), Bagging Trees (BT), Random Forests (RF), and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS)—for predictive vegetation mapping under current and future climate scenarios according to the Canadian Climate Centre global circulation model. To test, we applied these techniques to four tree species common in the eastern United States: loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), sugar maple (Acer saccharum), American beech (Fagus grandifolia), and white oak (Quercus alba). When the four techniques were assessed with Kappa and fuzzy Kappa statistics, RF and BT were superior in reproducing current importance value (a measure of basal area in addition to abundance) distributions for the four tree species, as derived from approximately 100,000 USDA Forest Service’s Forest Inventory and Analysis plots. Future estimates of suitable habitat after climate change were visually more reasonable with BT and RF, with slightly better performance by RF as assessed by Kappa statistics, correlation estimates, and spatial distribution of importance values. Although RTA did not perform as well as BT and RF, it provided interpretive models for species whose distributions were captured well by our current set of predictors. MARS was adequate for predicting current distributions but unacceptable for future climate. We consider RTA, BT, and RF modeling approaches, especially when used together to take advantage of their individual strengths, to be robust for predictive mapping and recommend their inclusion in the ecological toolbox.",,,Ecosystems,,,Springer Nature,"1432-9840, 1435-0629",,2006-03-15,2006,2006-03-15,2006-03,9,2,181-199,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Prasad, Anantha M.; Iverson, Louis R.; Liaw, Andy","Prasad, Anantha M.

There have been major changes in the regional distribution of emissions from fires, as a consequence of i) increased burning in tropical savannas and ii) a switch of emissions from temperate and boreal forests towards the tropics.

Risk indexes obtained by means of satellite measurements have widely improved the forecasting and monitoring of fire and its impact over the global ecosystem in an operational manner. Using Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as a key variable, we have defined a new risk index in which a static map of fire probability is modulated with the NDVI values. Its usefulness to study the dynamic of fire risk over a test area that has been affected by fire in the past years is tested. The potential application of these tools for fire management and its suitability to be provided as an end product to the forest services and cooperators aiding in that sense is also assessed.","AcknowledgementsWe express our gratitude to the “Unidad de incendios del Area de Medioambiente y Paisajes del Excmo.

,pub.1024806047,10.1016/j.rse.2005.05.005,,,,Optimal field sampling for targeting minerals using hyperspectral data,"This paper presents a statistical method for deriving optimal spatial sampling schemes. It focuses on ground verification of minerals derived from hyperspectral data. Spectral angle mapper (SAM) and spectral feature fitting (SFF) classification techniques were applied to obtain rule mineral images. Each pixel in these rule images represents the similarity between the corresponding pixel in the hyperspectral image to a reference spectrum. The rule images provide weights that are utilized in objective functions of the sampling schemes which are optimized through a process of simulated annealing. A HyMAP 126-channel airborne hyperspectral data acquired in 2003 over the Rodalquilar area in Spain serves as an application to target those pixels with the highest likelihood of occurrence of a specific mineral and as a collection the location of these sampling points selected represent the distribution of that particular mineral. In this area, alunite being a predominant mineral in the alteration zones was chosen as the target mineral. Three weight functions are defined to intensively sample areas where a high probability and abundance of alunite occurs. Weight function I uses binary weights derived from the SAM classification image, leading to an even distribution of sampling points over the region of interest. Weight function II uses scaled weights derived from the SAM rule image. Sample points are arranged more intensely in areas of abundance of alunite. Weight function III combines information from several different rule image classifications. Sampling points are distributed more intensely in regions of high probable alunite as classified by both SAM and SFF, thus representing the purest of pixels. This method leads to an efficient distribution of sample points, on the basis of a user-defined objective.","AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to acknowledge thanks to the sponsors of this work, namely, ITC International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation, project number 3083022 and NRF National Research Foundation SA, project number 10317, gun 2053944.",,Remote Sensing of Environment,,,Elsevier,"0034-4257, 1879-0704",,2005-12,2005,,2005-12,99,4,373-386,All OA; Green,Article,Research Article,"Debba, P.; van Ruitenbeek, F.J.A.; van der Meer, F.D.; Carranza, E.J.M.; Stein, A.","Debba, P.

In particular, the growth of the World Wide Web is contributing to an increase in the global user base. The synergy of remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), Internet, and mobile phone technologies is revolutionizing the way in which satellite-derived information is archived and distributed to users. The Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS), a NASA-funded application, is just one of many examples that illustrate the increasing ease with which Earth observation data are accessible to a broad range of users. This paper describes how the delivery of satellite-derived fire information has evolved over the last six years. By understanding user requirements and taking advantage of recent developments in areas such as information management, search, access, visualization, and enabling technologies, FIRMS has expanded the number and range of users that are able to access and utilize satellite-derived fire information. Specifically, we describe how satellite remote sensing and GIS technologies have been integrated to deliver MODIS active fire data to natural resource managers using Internet mapping services and customized e-mail alerts to users in more than 90 countries. We also describe how this web-based desktop application has been transitioned to a mobile service in South Africa to deliver fire information to field staff to warn of fires that may be potentially damaging to both natural resources and infrastructure.","This work was supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Cooperative Agreement NNS06AA04A issued through the Decision Support Program.

Image‐derived perimeters (manually produced and classified from an index image) were compared to fire perimeters recorded within a digitized fire atlas.

Correspondence between fire atlas and manually digitized fire perimeters was high. Landsat imagery may be a useful supplement to existing historical fire perimeters mapping methods, but the timing of the post‐fire image will strongly influence the separability of burned and unburned areas.","This research was supported in part by funds provided by the Rocky Mountain Research Station, Forest Service, US Department of Agriculture.

The main goal of this study was to analyse the possibility of estimating combustion completeness based on fire‐induced spectral reflectance changes in surface. Inverse, nonlinear relationships were obtained between combustion completeness and pre‐fire to post‐fire spectral reflectance changes, in the green, red, and near‐infrared spectral domains (equivalent to Landsat 7 ETM+ channels 2, 3, and 4). The coefficient of determination (R 2) varied from 0.50 for channel 4, to 0.57 for channel 3, and all the regressions were significant at the 95% confidence level. Thus, it may be feasible to treat combustion completeness as a variable whose values can be remotely estimated. However, its relationship with fire‐induced spectral reflectance changes is expected to exhibit some dependence on vegetation structure. The experimental burn was performed simultaneously with overpasses from the Terra satellite, and from the NASA ER‐2 research airplane carrying the 50‐channel MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS) image spectrometer. Our results may be used in conjunction with imagery from these sensors, to support the development of operational approaches for combustion completeness estimation from remotely sensed data.","We thank the Luso‐American Foundation for the Development, which provided financial support to the participation of J.M.C.P., A.C.L.S., and J.M.N.S. in the Third Intensive Field Campaign of SAFARI 2000.

,pub.1020237684,10.1890/04-1850,,,,LANDSCAPE INFLUENCES ON OCCURRENCE AND SPREAD OF WILDFIRES IN PATAGONIAN FORESTS AND SHRUBLANDS,"Spatial heterogeneity of vegetation types and the abiotic environment can influence the occurrence and spread of wildfires, but in some landscapes the importance of these effects varies under conditions of severe fire weather. In the northern Patagonian landscape of forests and shrublands we examined the effects of vegetation type (tall forest vs. tall shrubland) and abiotic factors (elevation, topography, and precipitation) on fire occurrence at a broad scale and on fire spread at a fine scale. We used satellite images (1985–1999) and aerial photography (1950–1999) to map fires in relation to pre‐burn vegetation type and abiotic factors. Fire extent is greatest at intermediate elevations and locations of intermediate precipitation. Fire extent is limited by lack of fuel quantity at the lower end of the precipitation gradient and by infrequent or insufficient fuel desiccation at the upper end. Tall shrublands are proportionally more affected by fire than are adjacent mesic forests of Nothofagus dombeyi and N. pumilio. Patches of subalpine forests often tend to serve as natural fire breaks, except under the most severe fire weather. Tall shrublands are dominated by species that resprout vigorously so that fuels quickly recover. In contrast, forests are dominated by species dependent on seed reproduction that sometimes fails after severe fires so that shrublands tend to replace burned forests. The greater propensity of shrublands to burn is a positive feedback that is favorable to fire and that accelerates the replacement of forest by shrublands. Infrequently occurring severe weather is important in the burning of otherwise relatively fire‐resistant subalpine forests. Past burning, associated both with drought and early forest clearing, expanded shrublands at the expense of forests so that in the modern landscape an increase in anthropogenic ignitions and the positive feedback of fire and shrublands are synergistically accelerating conversion from forest to shrubland.","This research was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation of the United States (Award No. 0117366), the National Geographic Society, and the Council for Research and Creative Work of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado.

Lightning location data from 1998 to 2002 was used. Flashes were grouped into thunderstorms based on their closeness both in time and space. Information on location, time of ignition and cause of all forest fires as recorded by chiefs of local fire brigades during this 5-year period were also used. Fires judged to be ignited by lightning were linked to strokes occurring within 10km and 50h of ignition. The probability that a stroke had ignited a particular fire was computed based on the distance between the two in time and space and on the number of other strokes that might have ignited the same fire. Our results show that positive and negative strokes ignite with equal probability. Increasing number of strokes per flash, hereafter referred to as “multiplicity” of flashes tended to decrease ignition probability of a stroke. Strokes in long-lasting and intense thunderstorms are less likely to cause ignition than strokes in local, small-scale thunderstorms. Our results clearly contradict those of earlier North American studies that suggest that long continuing current associated with positive flashes and negative flashes of high multiplicity are needed for ignition. Our results may find use in forecasting or nowcasting lightening-caused forest fire ignitions in Finland, and lead to the development of a similar methodology for testing and use elsewhere.","AcknowledgementsWe thank Timo Kuuluvainen and anonymous reviewers for comments and Finnish Fire Prevention Fund and FIRE-project (financed by Academy of Finland, Tekes and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry) for funding.",,Agricultural and Forest Meteorology,,,Elsevier,"0168-1923, 1873-2240",,2005-10,2005,,2005-10,132,3-4,171-180,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Larjavaara, M.; Pennanen, J.; Tuomi, T.J.","Larjavaara, M.

If fires burn unselectively then the land cover composition (the proportional area of various land cover types) of individual fires should approximate the land cover composition available in their neighborhood. In this study we test this hypothesis by performing statistical analyses of a data set consisting of paired vectors with the proportions of land cover types present in burned areas and in their respective surroundings. The statistical methods employed (a permutation technique and the Cmax statistic) are commonly used in resource selection studies where data is subject to a unit-sum constraint. The results of the analysis of 506 fires that burned in Portugal in 1991 indicate that fires are selective, with small fires exhibiting stronger land cover preferences than large fires. According to the results of a multiple comparison analysis performed for small fires, there is a marked preference for shrubland followed by other forest cover types, while agriculture is clearly avoided. A similar analysis is performed to test if fire selectivity is related to the ecological region where it occurs. The results obtained in this study contribute to the discussion on the relative importance of fuels as a drivers of fire spread.",,,Landscape Ecology,,,Springer Nature,"0921-2973, 1572-9761",,2005-09,2005,,2005-09,20,6,661-673,All OA; Gold,Article,Research Article,"Nunes, Maria C.S.; Vasconcelos, Maria J.; Pereira, José M.C.; Dasgupta, Nairanjana; Alldredge, Richard J.; Rego, Francisco C.","Nunes, Maria C.S.

,pub.1027898534,10.1016/j.rse.2005.05.021,,,,A simple and effective radiometric correction method to improve landscape change detection across sensors and across time,"Satellite data offer unrivaled utility in monitoring and quantifying large scale land cover change over time. Radiometric consistency among collocated multi-temporal imagery is difficult to maintain, however, due to variations in sensor characteristics, atmospheric conditions, solar angle, and sensor view angle that can obscure surface change detection. To detect accurate landscape change using multi-temporal images, we developed a variation of the pseudoinvariant feature (PIF) normalization scheme: the temporally invariant cluster (TIC) method. Image data were acquired on June 9, 1990 (Landsat 4), June 20, 2000 (Landsat 7), and August 26, 2001 (Landsat 7) to analyze boreal forests near the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), enhanced vegetation index (EVI), and reduced simple ratio (RSR). The temporally invariant cluster (TIC) centers were identified via a point density map of collocated pixel VIs from the base image and the target image, and a normalization regression line was created to intersect all TIC centers. Target image VI values were then recalculated using the regression function so that these two images could be compared using the resulting common radiometric scale. We found that EVI was very indicative of vegetation structure because of its sensitivity to shadowing effects and could thus be used to separate conifer forests from deciduous forests and grass/crop lands. Conversely, because NDVI reduced the radiometric influence of shadow, it did not allow for distinctions among these vegetation types. After normalization, correlations of NDVI and EVI with forest leaf area index (LAI) field measurements combined for 2000 and 2001 were significantly improved; the r2 values in these regressions rose from 0.49 to 0.69 and from 0.46 to 0.61, respectively. An EVI “cancellation effect” where EVI was positively related to understory greenness but negatively related to forest canopy coverage was evident across a post fire chronosequence with normalized data. These findings indicate that the TIC method provides a simple, effective and repeatable method to create radiometrically comparable data sets for remote detection of landscape change. Compared to some previous relative radiometric normalization methods, this new method does not require high level programming and statistical skills, yet remains sensitive to landscape changes occurring over seasonal and inter-annual time scales. In addition, the TIC method maintains sensitivity to subtle changes in vegetation phenology and enables normalization even when invariant features are rare. While this normalization method allowed detection of a range of land use, land cover, and phenological/biophysical changes in the Siberian boreal forest region studied here, it is necessary to further examine images representing a wide variety of ecoregions to thoroughly evaluate the TIC method against other normalization schemes.","AcknowledgementsThis research was supported by NASA EPSCoR grant NCC5-588 and NSF grant DBI-9985039.

,pub.1009978253,10.1016/j.rse.2005.04.007,,,,Prototyping a global algorithm for systematic fire-affected area mapping using MODIS time series data,"The remote sensing of Earth surface changes is an active research field aimed at the development of methods and data products needed by scientists, resource managers, and policymakers. Fire is a major cause of surface change and occurs in most vegetation zones across the world. The identification and delineation of fire-affected areas, also known as burned areas or fire scars, may be considered a change detection problem. Remote sensing algorithms developed to map fire-affected areas are difficult to implement reliably over large areas because of variations in both the surface state and those imposed by the sensing system. The availability of robustly calibrated, atmospherically corrected, cloud-screened, geolocated data provided by the latest generation of moderate resolution remote sensing systems allows for major advances in satellite mapping of fire-affected area. This paper describes an algorithm developed to map fire-affected areas at a global scale using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) surface reflectance time series data. The algorithm is developed from the recently published Bi-Directional Reflectance Model-Based Expectation change detection approach and maps at 500 m the location and approximate day of burning. Improvements made to the algorithm for systematic global implementation are presented and the algorithm performance is demonstrated for southern African, Australian, South American, and Boreal fire regimes. The algorithm does not use training data but rather applies a wavelength independent threshold and spectral constraints defined by the noise characteristics of the reflectance data and knowledge of the spectral behavior of burned vegetation and spectrally confusing changes that are not associated with burning. Temporal constraints are applied capitalizing on the spectral persistence of fire-affected areas. Differences between mapped fire-affected areas and cumulative MODIS active fire detections are illustrated and discussed for each fire regime. The results reveal a coherent spatio-temporal mapping of fire-affected area and indicate that the algorithm shows potential for global application.",AcknowledgementsThis work was funded by the NASA Land Cover and Land Use Change (LCLUC) and Applications Programs (grant NAG511251) and the NASA Earth System Science Program (grant NNG04HZ18C).

,pub.1008098856,10.1016/j.rse.2005.04.014,,,,Testing the potential of multi-spectral remote sensing for retrospectively estimating fire severity in African Savannahs,"The remote sensing of fire severity is a noted goal in studies of forest and grassland wildfires. Experiments were conducted to discover and evaluate potential relationships between the characteristics of African savannah fires and post-fire surface spectral reflectance in the visible to shortwave infrared spectral region. Nine instrumented experimental fires were conducted in semi-arid woodland savannah of Chobe National Park (Botswana), where fire temperature (Tmax) and duration (dt) were recorded using thermocouples positioned at different heights and locations. These variables, along with measures of fireline intensity (FLI), integrated temperature with time (Tsum) and biomass (and carbon/nitrogen) volatilised were compared to post-fire surface spectral reflectance. Statistically significant relationships were observed between (i) the fireline intensity and total nitrogen volatilised (r2=0.54, n=36, p<0.001), (ii) integrated temperature (Tsum−μ) and total biomass combusted (r2=0.72, n=32, p<0.001), and (iii) fire duration as measured at the top-of-grass sward thermocouple (dtT) and total biomass combusted (r2=0.74, n=34, p<0.001) and total nitrogen volatilised (r2=0.73, n=34, p<0.001). The post-fire surface spectral reflectance was found to be related to dt and Tsum via a quadratic relationship that varied with wavelength. The use of visible and shortwave infrared band ratios produced statistically significant linear relationships with fire duration as measured by the top thermocouple (dtT) (r2=0.76, n=34, p<0.001) and the mean of Tsum (r2=0.82, n=34, p<0.001). The results identify fire duration as a versatile measure that relates directly to the fire severity, and also illustrate the potential of spectrally-based fire severity measures. However, the results also point to difficulties when applying such spectrally-based techniques to Earth Observation satellite imagery, due to the small-scale variability noted on the ground. Results also indicate the potential for surface spectral reflectance to increase following higher severity fires, due to the laying down of high albedo white mineral ash. Most current techniques for mapping burned area rely on the general assumption that surface albedo decreases following a fire, and so if the image spatial resolution was high enough such methods may fail. Determination of the effect of spatial resolution on a sensor's ability to detect white ash was investigated using a validated optical mixture modelling approach. The most appropriate mixing model to use (linear or non-linear) was assessed using laboratory experiments. A linear mixing model was shown most appropriate, with results suggesting that sensors having spatial resolutions significantly higher than those of Landsat ETM+ will be required if patches of white ash are to be used to provide EO-derived information on the spatial variation of fire severity.","AcknowledgementsAlistair Smith was supported by a NERC/GANE Thematic Program studentship (NER/S/R/2000/04057).

The indices included single bands, band ratios, vegetation indices, and multivariate components. Each index was evaluated with post-burn and differenced pre/post-burn index values. The indices were evaluated by examining the correlation between each remotely sensed index and field-based Composite Burn Index (CBI) values. Radiant temperature was strongly correlated with field-based CBI when a post-fire image from autumn was used. Indices that used red and near-infrared bands performed poorly relative to indices that incorporated mid-infrared bands. The Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR), which incorporates near- and mid-infrared bands, was ranked within the top three indices for each of the four burns using post-burn images, and for three of the four burns using pre- and post-burn images. When indices were summed based on ranked correlations, the NBR was highest for both the post-burn and pre/post-burn approaches. The NBR had high correlations with the field-based CBI in closed needleleaf, mixed, and broadleaf forest classes. However, the NBR was useful as an index of burn severity only for forested sites. The correlation between NBR and field-based CBI was low in non-forested classes such as woodland, scrub, and herb land cover classes.","AcknowledgementsThis research was part of the Bonanza Creek Long-Term Ecological Research Program (funded jointly by NSF grant DEB-0423442 and USDA Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station grant PNW01-JV11261952-231).

The results of these methods were compared with field validation data. The burnt‐pixel detection methods resulted in large omission and commission errors and tended to provide an overestimation of the total burnt area extent while the sub‐pixel methods tended to identify areas as partially burnt, when in fact they were not, thus providing errors of commission. A two‐step method that combines burnt‐pixel identification methods with sub‐pixel techniques was employed in order to overcome the limitations associated with the use of the methods individually.

The 2001 Leroux fire on the Coconino National Forest, Arizona, burned over 18 pre-existing permanent 0.1 ha plots. Plots were re-measured following the fire. Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery and the Differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (ΔNBR) were used to map the fire into four severity levels immediately following the fire (July 2001) and 1 year after the fire (June 2002). Ninety-two Composite Burn Index (CBI) plots were compared to the fire severity maps. Pre- and post-fire plot measurements were also analysed according to their imagery classification. Ground measurements demonstrated differences in forest structure. Areas that were classified as severely burned on the imagery were predominantly Pinus ponderosa stands. Tree density and basal area, snag density and fine fuel accumulation were associated with severity levels.

Mass conservation equations are solved for carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate material (PM2.5). Source emissions of trace gases and particles associated with biomass burning activities in tropical forest, savanna and pasture have been parameterized and introduced into the model. The sources are distributed spatially and temporally and assimilated daily using the biomass burning locations detected by remote sensing. Advection effects (at grid scale) and turbulent transport (at sub-grid scale) are provided by the RAMS parameterizations. A sub-grid transport parameterization associated with moist deep and shallow convection, not explicitly resolved by the model due to its low spatial resolution, has also been introduced. Sinks associated with the process of wet and dry removal of aerosol particles and chemical transformation of gases are parameterized and introduced in the mass conservation equation. An operational system has been implemented which produces daily 48-h numerical simulations (including 24-h forecasts) of CO and PM2.5, in addition to traditional meteorological fields. The good prediction skills of the model are demonstrated by comparisons with time series of PM2.5 measured at the surface.",,,Environmental Fluid Mechanics,,,Springer Nature,"1567-7419, 1573-1510",,2005-04,2005,,2005-04,5,1-2,135-167,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Freitas, Saulo R.; Longo, Karla M.; Silva Dias, Maria A.

Many change‐detection strategies commonly used in remote sensing studies were developed in an era of image scarcity and thus focus on comparing just a few scenes. However, change analysis methods applicable to images with sparse temporal sampling are not necessarily efficient and effective when applied to long image time series. We present a statistical framework that gathers together: (1) robust methods for multiple comparisons; (2) seasonally corrected Mann–Kendall trend tests; (3) a testing sequence for quadratic models of land surface phenology. This framework can be applied to long image time series to partition sources of variation and to assess the significance of detected changes. Using a standard image time series, the Pathfinder AVHRR Land (PAL) NDVI data, we apply the framework to address the question of whether the institutional changes accompanying the collapse of the Soviet Union resulted in significant changes in land surface phenologies across the ecoregions of Kazakhstan.","We thank Eric Boer for careful readings of an earlier version and for feedback from two anonymous reviewers.

Aiming to contribute to a better understanding of the air pollution phenomenon associated with forest fires, this paper presents and analyses the atmospheric emissions and air quality concentration measurements performed in the 2002 fire experiments at Gestosa, Central Portugal. Two vehicles were equipped with a meteorological station and air quality analysers that were turned on continuously to acquire concentrations of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide. Nitrogen and sulfur dioxides were measured using a grid of fixed passive samplers. Also, firefighters and research-team members used passive samplers during the experiments in order to estimate the human exposure to these pollutants. Measurements of volatile organic compound emissions, using Tedlar bags, were carried out. Results were analysed taking into account not only the concentration values but also the variables involved, such as the combustion phase and the meteorology, and identifying possible relationships between them. Despite the small size of the burning plots when compared to wildfires, the measured levels of pollutants were however considerable, indicating the effect of these experiments on the local air quality and stressing the serious levels of air pollution that can be expected during wildfires.",,,International Journal of Wildland Fire,,,CSIRO Publishing,"1049-8001, 1448-5516",,2005-03-08,2005,2005-03-08,2005,14,1,107-116,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Miranda, A.

Their performances were evaluated by using a wide data sample of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)‐12 and ‐14 summer imagery acquired from 1996 to 1999. In order to test their effectiveness, each different parameter was tested by applying the same thresholding procedure on every individual parameter independent from its pre‐established classification by the authors. The evaluation was performed by comparing fire archives (provided by the Italian National Forestry Service) to the results obtained. The most satisfactory results were obtained by using a combination of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and thermal channels. These experimental analyses confirmed that improvements were achieved from methods that combine NDVI with thermal channels, in particular when the two indicators are first classified separately and then combined in a single index. This allows a valid reduction of the number of pixels classified as fire vulnerable compared with methods that apply a joined classification of NDVI and surface temperature (T s). Finally, the use of the AVHRR channel 3 (thermal data) proved to be more effective than T s. Such evaluations are a valuable support for the assessment of how satellite‐based parameters can be profitably used to improve the estimation of fire susceptibility in operational applications. Our findings can be directly extended to other Mediterranean‐like ecosystems.","The authors wish to thank D. Pontani and G.

The experiment was based on four tests that assessed the discriminability between burned and unburned areas, the presence of artefacts, the verticality of the viewing angle, and the spatial coherency. The maximum temperature was found to be the most appropriate compositing technique for burned land mapping, since it provides the highest performance for the four assessments, with close to maximum discrimination power, no clouds or cloud shadows, high spatial coherency and close to nadir observation angles. Traditional compositing criterion based on maximizing NDVI values provided the lowest ranks in most tests.","This research is part of the SPREAD project (EVG1‐CT‐2001‐0043), funded by the European Commission, as well as by the DGCN (Spanish Ministry of the Environment).",,International Journal of Remote Sensing,,,Taylor & Francis,"0143-1161, 1366-5901",,2005-03,2005,2006-08-15,2005-03,26,5,1013-1018,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Chuvieco, E.; Ventura, G.; Martín, M.

Using a case study approach, I test the applicability of four social determinants of household level WUI fire hazard vulnerability in the community of Forest Ranch, California. Previous studies have independently identified (1) risk perceptions, (2) amenity value conflicts, and (3) institutional incentive structures as determinants of household fire hazard vulnerability. I introduce (4) political economic constraints as determinants. findings confirm the role of three social determinants in household risk management decision-making: while determinant (1) is not a significant correlate of household vulnerability, determinants (2)–(4) are significant correlates. Also, findings demonstrate that political economic theory offers concepts applicable to studies of WUI hazard vulnerability. These conclusions call into question current management interventions. The coexistence of affluence and underdevelopment in WUI areas of the American West sheds doubt on one-dimensional representations of residents, mutually exclusive interpretations of social determinants of hazard vulnerability, and thus, narrowly conceived or universal management prescriptions (e.g., interventions directed solely toward educating residents about biophysical risks).",,,Environmental Hazards,,,Taylor & Francis,"1747-7891, 1878-0059, 1464-2867",,2005-01,2005,2011-06-15,2005-01,6,1,23-37,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Collins, Timothy W.","Collins, Timothy W.

In the present work, we aim to study the parameters determining this variability in the eastern Iberian Peninsula. For this reason we sampled in 2002 the sapling pine density on 22 plots that burned in 1993 and 71 plots that burned in 1994. Pre-fire vegetation (tree density and basal area) were obtained from the Spanish Forest Inventory. The regeneration ranged from 0.006 to 20.4pines/m2 (mean=1.24, S.D.=3.22). The statistical analysis suggested that the most important variables explaining this variability were the amount of branches found on the forest floor (branches collapsed from burned trees or branches left by foresters), the aspect of the plot, the pre-fire basal area, and whether the slope was terraced or not. High regeneration was observed in forests with large amounts of branches on the floor (which create appropriate microclimatic conditions), with northern aspects, with high pre-fire basal area, and on terraced slopes. Furthermore, other water-related variables (annual precipitation and slope) also had some (although lower) importance. These results have direct implications for forest managers in the study area.","AcknowledgementsThis work has been financed by the EU project SPREAD (EVG1-CT-2001-00043) and by an EU Leonardo da Vinci fellowship to E.R.

Based on kernel density estimation methods, this paper introduces an alternative approach of fire occurrence modeling that addresses the inherent positional inaccuracies of recorded wildland fire ignition points. These observations, recorded in longitude and latitude using only degrees and first minutes, contain positional inaccuracies of about ± 700 to ± 925 meters in x and y axes. Kernel density estimation was applied to these historical fire observations recorded between 1985 and 1995 in Halkidiki peninsula, Greece, as well as, to simulated inaccurate points into which positional inaccuracies of the same magnitude were randomly introduced. Substantial differences were observed when a regular grid of quadrants was superimposed over the two point distributions. Although, at higher grid resolution these mismatches were minimized, the problem of generalization appeared. Contrar‐ily, the concept of “moving window” assisted to retain high grid resolution and minimize the effect of inaccurate point observations. In addition, the kernel approach, which considers also the relative position of points within the “moving window,” produced more realistic estimates.",,,Natural Resource Modeling,,,Wiley,"0890-8575, 1939-7445",,2004-12,2004,2008-06-28,2004-12,17,4,359-375,Closed,Article,Research Article,"KOUTSIAS, NIKOS; KALABOKIDIS, KOSTAS D.; ALLGÖWER, BRITTA","KOUTSIAS, NIKOS (Geographic Information Systems Division (GIS) Department of Geography University of Zurich CH‐8057 Zurich, Switzerland E‐mail: koutsias@geo.unizh.ch); KALABOKIDIS, KOSTAS D.

,pub.1030804215,10.1071/wf03079,,,,A semi-automated object-oriented model for burned area mapping in the Mediterranean region using Landsat-TM imagery,"Pixel-based classification methods that make use of the spectral information derived from satellite images have been repeatedly reported to create confusion between burned areas and non-vegetation categories, especially water bodies and shaded areas. As a result of the aforementioned, these methods cannot be used on an operational basis for mapping burned areas using satellite images. On the other hand, object-based image classification allows the integration of a broad spectrum of different object features, such as spectral values, shape and texture. Sophisticated classification, incorporating contextual and semantic information, can be performed by using not only image object attributes, but also the relationship between networked image objects. In this study, the synergy of all these features allowed us to address image analysis tasks that, up until now, have not been possible. The aim of this work was to develop an object-based classification model for burned area mapping in the Mediterranean using Landsat-TM imagery. The object-oriented model developed to map a burned area on the Greek island of Thasos was then used to map other burned areas in the Mediterranean region after the Landsat-TM images had been radiometrically, geometrically and topographically corrected. The results of the research showed that the developed object-oriented model was transferable and that it could be effectively used as an operative tool for identifying and mapping the three different burned areas (~98% overall accuracy).",,,International Journal of Wildland Fire,,,CSIRO Publishing,"1049-8001, 1448-5516",,2004-11-18,2004,2004-11-18,2004,13,3,367-376,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Mitri, G.

We have evaluated as a first step the contribution of multitemporal ERS data and contextual methods of classification, with and without filtering, for the discrimination of vegetation types. The present study shows the importance of time series of the ERS sensor and of the vectorial MMSE (minimum mean square error) filter based on segmentation for land cover classification. Fifteen land cover classes were discriminated (eight concerning different vegetation types) with a mean producer's accuracy of 0.81 for a five-date time series within 1998, and of 0.71 for another four-date time series for 1994/1995. These results are comparable to those from SPOT XS images: 0.69 for July, 0.67 for October (0.85 for July plus October), and also from TM data (0.81). These results are corroborated by the kappa coefficient of agreement.

,pub.1043786088,10.1016/j.rse.2003.12.015,,,,Comparison of AVIRIS and Landsat ETM+ detection capabilities for burn severity,"Our study compares data on burn severity collected from multi-temporal Airborne Visible and Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) with similar data from the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) using the differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR). Two AVIRIS and ETM+ data acquisitions recorded surface conditions immediately before the Hoover Fire began to spread rapidly and again the following year. Data were validated with 63 field plots using the Composite Burn Index (CBI). The relationship between spectral channels and burn severity was examined by comparing pre- and post-fire datasets. Based on the high burn severity comparison, AVIRIS channels 47 and 60 at wavelengths of 788 and 913 nm showed the greatest negative response to fire. Post-fire reflectance values decreased the most on average at those wavelengths, while channel 210 at 2370 nm showed the greatest positive response on average. Fire increased reflectance the most at that wavelength over the entire measured spectral range. Furthermore, channel 210 at 2370 nm exhibited the greatest variation in spectral response, suggesting potentially high information content for fire severity. Based on general remote sensing principles and the logic of variable spectral responses to fire, dNBR from both sensors should produce useful results in quantifying burn severity. The results verify the band–response relationships to burn severity as seen with ETM+ data and confirm the relationships by way of a distinctly different sensor system.","AcknowledgementsThe authors thank the Joint Fire Science program for funding this study.

The results are based on 6 years of field measurements of FMC. The empirical function was derived from a 4-year series and includes multitemporal composites of AVHRR's normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and surface temperature (ST) values, as well as a function of the day of the year. It was tested using data from 2 other years on the same site as well as other sites with similar species but very distant from each other and with different elevation ranges. The results show that the model provides a consistent estimation of FMC, with high accuracies for all study sites and species considered, with r2 values over 0.8 for both grasslands and shrub species. This performance enables the model to be used to derive spatial estimator of FMC, which is a key factor in operational fire danger management in Mediterranean conditions.","AcknowledgementsFunds for this project have been obtained from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology (Firerisk contract) and the European V Framework Research Program (Spread contract).

To confirm the compatibility between the distinct data types, occasionally, for this kind of spatial analysis, historical observations of the primary wildland fire (given as x and y coordinates) must be transformed either to continuous surfaces or to area data. The simple overlay approach converts single point observations to area data. However, this procedure assumes lack of spatial uncertainties that would otherwise result in serious errors caused by the positional inaccuracies of the original point observations.Here, we used kernel density interpolation to convert the original data on wildland fire ignition into an expression of areal units, defined by a raster grid and, subsequently, by the administrative borders of the municipalities in two study areas in Spain. By overlaying a normal bivariate probability density function (kernel) over each point observation, each ignition point was considered an uncertain point location rather than an exact one.",AcknowledgementsThis research was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology (contract AGL2000-0842): FIRERISK project (Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems for forest fire risk estimation: an integrated analysis of natural and human factors).,,Remote Sensing of Environment,,,Elsevier,"0034-4257, 1879-0704",,2004-08,2004,,2004-08,92,3,363-369,Closed,Article,Research Article,"de la Riva, Juan; Pérez-Cabello, Fernando; Lana-Renault, Noemí; Koutsias, Nikos","de la Riva, Juan (Facultad de Filosofia y Letras, Department of Geography, University of Zaragoza, Calle Pedro Cerbuna 12, Zaragoza E-50009, Spain); Pérez-Cabello, Fernando (Facultad de Filosofia y Letras, Department of Geography, University of Zaragoza, Calle Pedro Cerbuna 12, Zaragoza E-50009, Spain); Lana-Renault, Noemí (Facultad de Filosofia y Letras, Department of Geography, University of Zaragoza, Calle Pedro Cerbuna 12, Zaragoza E-50009, Spain); Koutsias, Nikos (Department of Geography, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, Zurich CH-8057, Switzerland)","de la Riva, Juan (University of Zaragoza)","de la Riva, Juan (University of Zaragoza); Pérez-Cabello, Fernando (University of Zaragoza); Lana-Renault, Noemí (University of Zaragoza); Koutsias, Nikos (University of Zurich)",University of Zurich; University of Zaragoza,grid.7400.3; grid.11205.37,Zurich; Zaragoza,; ,Switzerland; Spain,"Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness",,Spain,,,53,4,,14.24,3,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1005878259,37 Earth Sciences; 3704 Geoinformatics,,,,,,C14 Geography and Environmental Studies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,,

Fire has been important in the evolutionary history that shaped this diversity, but recent human influences have altered the fire environment. We tested for modern human impacts on the fire regime by analyzing temporal patterns in fire extent and spatial patterns of fire severity in relation to vegetation structure, past fire occurrence, roads, and timber management in a 98,814‐ha area burned in 1987. Fire severity was mapped by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as low, moderate, and high based on levels of canopy scorch and consumption. We found (1) a trend of increasing fire size in recent decades; (2) that overall fire‐severity proportions were 59% low, 29% moderate, and 12% high, which is comparable to both contemporary and historic fires in the region; (3) that multiaged, closed forests, the predominant vegetation, burned with much lower severity than did open forest and shrubby nonforest vegetation; (4) that considerably less high‐severity fire occurred where fire had previously be absent since 1920 in closed forests compared to where the forests had burned since 1920 (7% vs. 16%); (5) that nonforest vegetation burned with greater severity where there was a history of fire since 1920 and in roaded areas; and (6) that tree plantations experienced twice as much severe fire as multi‐aged forests. We concluded that fuel buildup in the absence of fire did not cause increased fire severity as hypothesized. Instead, fuel that is receptive to combustion may decrease in the long absence of fire in the closed forests of our study area, which will favor the fire regime that has maintained these forests. However, plantations are now found in one‐third of the roaded landscape. Together with warming climate, this may increase the size and severity of future fires, favoring further establishment of structurally and biologically simple plantations . 
   Resumen:  La region Klamath‐Siskiyou (Noroeste de California y Suroeste de Oregon) sostiene una biodiversidad templada globalmente sobresaliente. El fuego ha sido importante en la historia evolutiva que moldeó a esta diversidad, sin embargo, influencias humanas recientes han alterado el ambiente del fuego. Probamos los impactos humanos modernos sobre el régimen de fuego analizando los patrones temporales de la extensión del fuego y los patrones de severidad del fuego en relación con la estructura de la vegetación, incidencia de fuego en el pasado, caminos y manejo de madera en un área de 98,814 ha quemada en 1987. La severidad del fuego fue clasificada en el mapa por el Servicio Forestal de EE. UU. como baja, moderada o alta tomando en cuenta el grado de chamuscado y consumo del dosel. Encontramos (1) que hubo una tendencia hacia un aumento del tamaño del fuego en décadas recientes; (2) que las proporciones totales de severidad de fuego fueron: 59% bajo, 29% moderado y 12% alto (lo cual es comparable tanto para incendios contemporáneos como históricos en la región); (3) que los bosques cerrados, de edades múltiples, la vegetación predominante, se quemó mucho menos severamente que los bosques abiertos y la vegetación arbustiva no boscosa.; (4) que hubo considerablemente menos fuego de alta intensidad donde no habían ocurrido incendios en bosques cerrados desde 1920 en comparación con bosques que se han quemado desde 1920 (7% vs. 16%); (5) que la vegetación no boscosa se quemó con mayor severidad donde había una historia de fuego desde 1920 y en áreas con caminos; y (6) que las plantaciones de árboles tenían dos veces la cantidad de fuego severo que los bosques de edades múltiples. Concluimos que la acumulación de combustible en ausencia de fuego no causó incremento en la severidad del fuego, como se planteó. En cambio, el combustible que es receptivo a la combustión puede disminuir en la larga ausencia de fuego en los bosques cerrados de nuestra área de estudio. Esto favorecerá al régimen con fuego que ha mantenido a estos bosques. Sin embargo, las plantaciones se encuentran en un tercio del paisaje con caminos. En combinación con el calentamiento del clima, esto puede incrementar el tamaño y severidad de futuros incendios, lo que favorecerá el establecimiento de plantaciones estructural y biológicamente simples .","The World Wildlife Fund provided funding for this project.

The idea that decades of fire suppression have promoted unnatural fuel accumulation and subsequent unprecedentedly large, severe wildfires across western forests has been developed primarily from studies of dry ponderosa pine forests. However, this model is being applied uncritically across Rocky Mountain forests (e.g., in the Healthy Forests Restoration Act). We synthesize current research and summarize lessons learned from recent large wildfires (the Yellowstone, Rodeo-Chediski, and Hayman fires), which represent case studies of the potential effectiveness of fuel reduction across a range of major forest types. A “one size fits all” approach to reducing wildfire hazards in the Rocky Mountain region is unlikely to be effective and may produce collateral damage in some places.","We would like to thank numerous researchers who have added to our understanding of fire regimes throughout the Rocky Mountain region.

,pub.1011778903,10.1071/wf02047,,,,An integrated numerical system to estimate air quality effects of forest fires,"Forest fires are an important source of various gases and particles emitted into the atmosphere that may affect the air quality on a local and/or larger scale. Currently, there is a growing awareness that smoke from wildland fires exposes individuals and populations to hazardous air pollutants. In order to understand and to simulate forest fire effects on air quality, several issues should be analysed and integrated: fire progression, fire emissions, atmospheric flow, smoke dispersion and chemical reactions. In spite of the available models to simulate smoke dispersion and the existence of some systems already covering the main questions, there still remains a lack of integration concerning fire progression. Photochemical pollution is also not included in these modelling systems. AIRFIRE is a numerical system, developed to estimate the effects of forest fires on air quality, integrating several components of the problem through the inclusion of different modules, namely the mesoscale meteorological model MEMO, the photochemical model MARS, and the Rothermel fire spread model. The system was applied to simulate plume dispersion from a wildfire that occurred in a coastal area, close to Lisbon city, at the end of September 1991. Results, namely the obtained pollutants concentration fields, point to a significant impact on the local air quality. Obtained wind fields and concentration patterns revealed the presence of sea breezes and also the influence of the fire in the atmospheric flow. Estimated carbon monoxide concentration levels were very high, exceeding the recommended hourly limit value of the World Health Organization, and ozone concentration values pointed to photochemical production.","The author thanks the European Commission and the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT), under the framework of the projects INFLAME, SPREAD and QUIMERA (FSE/FEDER funds), for their support.

In fact, the area and type of vegetation that is burned on a monthly or annual basis are two of the parameters that provide the greatest uncertainty in the calculation of gas and aerosol emissions and burned biomass. To address this need, an inventory of burned areas at monthly time periods for the year 2000 at a resolution of 1 km 2 has been produced using satellite data and has been made freely available to the scientific community. In this paper, estimates of burned area and number of burn scars for four broad vegetation classes and reported at the country level for the year 2000 are presented using data taken from the inventory. Over 3.5 million km 2 of burned areas were detected in the year 2000, of which approximately 80% occurred in areas described as woodlands and shrublands. Approximately 17% of the burned area occurred in grasslands and croplands, the remaining 3% occurred in forests. Almost 600,000 separate burn scars were detected. Descriptions of vegetation burning activity are given for ten regions.

,pub.1028311934,10.1016/j.rse.2004.02.015,,,,Analysis of the conflict between omission and commission in low spatial resolution dichotomic thematic products: The Pareto Boundary,"During the last few years, the remote sensing community has been trying to address the need for global synthesis to support policy makers on issues such as deforestation or global climate change. Several global thematic products have been derived from large datasets of low-resolution remotely sensed data, the latter providing the best trade-off between spatial resolution, temporal resolution and cost. However, a standard procedure for the validation of such products has not been developed yet. This paper proposes a methodology, based on statistical indices derived from the widely used Error Matrix, to deal with the specific issue of the influence of the low spatial resolution of the dataset on the accuracy of the end-product, obtained with hard classification approaches. In order to analyse quantitatively the trade-off between omission and commission errors, we suggest the use of the ‘Pareto Boundary’, a method rooted in economics theory applied to decisions with multiple conflicting objectives. Starting from a high-resolution reference dataset, it is possible to determine the maximum user and producer's accuracy values (i.e. minimum omission and commission errors) that could be attained jointly by a low-resolution map. The method has been developed for the specific case of dichotomic classifications and it has been adopted in the evaluation of burned area maps derived from SPOT-VGT with Landsat ETM+ reference data. The use of the Pareto Boundary can help to understand whether the limited accuracy of a low spatial resolution map is given by poor performance of the classification algorithm or by the low resolution of the remotely sensed data, which had been classified.","AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to acknowledge the contribution of Marta Maggi, who kindly provided one of the TM classifications used as examples, and to thank Hugh Eva and Jean Marie Grégoire of JRC, for the useful comments on the original manuscript; we are also grateful for the comments from the anonymous reviewers, which helped to strengthen and clarify the paper.The first author is supported by a research fellowship from the European Commission-Directorate General JRC.",,Remote Sensing of Environment,,,Elsevier,"0034-4257, 1879-0704",,2004-06,2004,,2004-06,91,3-4,280-292,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Boschetti, Luigi; Flasse, Stéphane P; Brivio, Pietro A","Boschetti, Luigi (Global Vegetation Monitoring Unit, European Commission, DG Joint Research Centre, Institute for Environment and Sustainability, via Fermi 1, I-21020 Ispra, VA, Italy); Flasse, Stéphane P (Flasse Consulting, 3 Sycamore Crescent, Maidstone, Kent ME16 0AG, UK); Brivio, Pietro A (CNR-Istituto per il Rilevamento Elettromagnetico dell'Ambiente, via Bassini 15, I-20133 Milan, Italy)","Boschetti, Luigi (Joint Research Centre)","Boschetti, Luigi (Joint Research Centre); Flasse, Stéphane P (Flasse Consulting, 3 Sycamore Crescent, Maidstone, Kent ME16 0AG, UK); Brivio, Pietro A (Istituto per il Rilevamento Elettromagnetico dell'Ambiente)",Joint Research Centre; Istituto per il Rilevamento Elettromagnetico dell'Ambiente,grid.434554.7; grid.473657.4,Ispra; Naples,; ,Italy; Italy,European Commission,EC & ERC - European Union; cOAlition S,Belgium,,,157,14,,,3,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1028311934,37 Earth Sciences,,,,,,B12 Engineering,15 Life on Land,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,,

However, to explore the full value of these data, the appropriate information has to be extracted and presented in standard format to import it into geo-information systems and thus allow efficient decision processes. The object-oriented approach can contribute to powerful automatic and semi-automatic analysis for most remote sensing applications. Synergetic use to pixel-based or statistical signal processing methods explores the rich information contents. Here, we explain principal strategies of object-oriented analysis, discuss how the combination with fuzzy methods allows implementing expert knowledge and describe a representative example for the proposed workflow from remote sensing imagery to GIS.

This change will improve absolute calibration accuracy, consistency over time, and consistency with Landsat-7 (L7) Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus ($\hbox {ETM+}$) data. Users will need to use new parameters to convert the calibrated data products to radiance. The new procedure for the reflective bands (1–5,7) is based on a lifetime radiometric calibration curve for the instrument derived from the instrument's internal calibrator, cross-calibration with the $\hbox {ETM+}$, and vicarious measurements. The thermal band will continue to be calibrated using the internal calibrator. Further updates to improve the relative detector-to-detector calibration and thermal band calibration are being investigated, as is the calibration of the Landsat-4 (L4) TM.","This work was supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Landsat Project Science Office and by the U.S. Geological Survey EDC Land Remote Sensing Program.

,pub.1037276070,10.1016/s0378-1127(03)00069-0,,,,Effects of the recent land-use history on the postfire vegetation of uplands in Central Spain,"Land-use change has been one of the main drivers of landscape changes in the Mediterranean region during the last decades. Many of the formerly intensively cultivated or grazed areas were converted to forest and wilderness through afforestation or abandonment. Understanding the threats to such lands in their process of recovery to less intensively managed systems is important to have a proper understanding of the effects of land-use change on the ecosystem. Our aim was to determine how land-use history could affect postfire vegetation. In 1986, a large fire occurred in Sierra de Gredos (Central Spain) and affected an area of 6652ha which had had different land-use histories in the preceding decades. Land-use history was reconstructed from aerial photographs taken in 1956, 1972 and 1982. Within the crown-fire area of the burn, we chose areas that were cultivated, abandoned (matorral) or pine (Pinus pinaster) woodlands in 1956. Their status was later assessed in 1972 and in 1982. We selected three groups of plots that underwent different types of land-use history: that had not changed since 1956, or that changed in land-use type between 1956 and 1972, or between 1972 and 1982. Only two land-use types were considered in 1982: abandoned land (i.e. matorral) and pine woodland. Plots remained like this until 1986 when they burned. Five years after the fire vegetation was sampled: at each plot, shrubby plants were measured on 10 5m transects, and herbaceous plants were measured on 50 30cm×30cm squares regularly distributed within the transects. The effect of land-use history on the postfire vegetation was analyzed by one-way ANOVA and a posteriori multiple comparisons. After the fire, the shrubby vegetation was dominated by the legume Cytisus striatus subsp. eriocarpus. P. pinaster was very scarce. The herbaceous flora was composed of mostly annual species of Gramineae, Compositae and Leguminosae. The abundance of shrubs or herbs was not significantly different among different land-use histories. Similar results were obtained when species richness was analyzed, except that plots burned as matorral developed a greater abundance of hemicryptophytes, and less of herbaceous legumes. Plots that had been cultivated had a richer flora of annuals than those that remained matorral for a longer time. Overall, the recent land-use history accounted for few effects on the structure and composition of this plant community. Fires may act as a homogenizing agent of vegetation and, therefore, could further contribute to increase fire hazard.",AcknowledgementsWe are grateful for funding by the former Instituto Nacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (ICONA) and by Universidad Complutense and the European Commission (contract EV5V-91-0017).

Determination of the emitted radiant energy released during biomass combustion episodes (the so-called fire radiative energy or FRE) has been suggested as a new tool for determining variations in biomass combustion rates and the rate of production of atmospheric pollutants. We review the physical principals behind the remote determination of FRE and present an alternative method for its derivation via analysis of ‘fire pixel’ radiances in the middle infrared spectral region. We compare our method to the existing FRE retrieval approach used in the EOS Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) fire products, and to retrievals of FRE based on derived fire temperature and area made via the so-called Bi-spectral method. We test each FRE retrieval method using both simulated data and imagery from a new experimental space mission, the Bi-spectral InfraRed Detection (BIRD) small satellite, which has sensors specifically designed for the study of active fires. We analyse near simultaneous MODIS and BIRD data of the fires that burned around Sydney, Australia in January 2002. Despite the markedly different pixel size and spectral coverage of these sensors, where the spatial extent of the fire pixel groups detected by MODIS and BIRD are similar, the derived values of FRE for these fires agree to within ±15 %. However, in certain fires, the lower spatial resolution of MODIS appears to prevent many of the less intensely radiating fire pixels being detected as such, meaning MODIS underestimates FRE for these fires by up to 46% in comparison to BIRD. Though the FRE release of each of these low intensity fire pixels is relatively low, their comparatively large number makes their overall FRE significant. Thus, total FRE release of the Sydney fires on 5 January 2002 is estimated to be 6.5×109 J s−1 via BIRD but 4.0×109 J s−1 via MODIS. The ability of BIRD to resolve individual fire fronts further allows the first accurate calculation of ‘radiative’ fireline intensity from spaceborne measurements, providing values of 15–75 kJ s−1 m−1 for fire fronts that are up to 9 km in length. Finally, we analyse the effectiveness of the satellite-based FRE retrieval methods in estimating the FRE from the active flaming and smouldering components only (FREActive, believed to be proportional to the rate of biomass combustion), despite the sensor receiving additional radiance from the ‘cooling ground’. The MIR radiance method appears particularly strong in this regard, allowing FREActive to be estimated to within ±30% in the range 100–100,000 J s−1 m−2. These results provide further confidence in the ability of spaceborne missions to derive physically meaningful values of FRE that could be used to support biomass burning emissions inventories. Future comparisons between FRE derived via MODIS and those from higher spatial resolution BIRD or airborne imagery may allow the MODIS-derived FRE values to be ‘calibrated’ for any systematic underestimation. We therefore expect FRE to become an important tool for enhancing global studies of terrestrial vegetation fires with infrared remote sensing, particularly as the majority of large fires are now imaged four times per day via the MODIS instruments on the Terra and Aqua spacecraft.","AcknowledgementsMODIS data were obtained via the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and EROS Data Centre Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs).

Each of these factors has the potential to influence the convective activity. Our study suggests that in a region that is climatically favorable for air-mass thunderstorms, surface properties may enhance local lightning storm development in the boreal forest.

,pub.1010246976,10.1046/j.1365-2486.2003.00604.x,,,,Carbon emissions from fires in tropical and subtropical ecosystems,"Abstract  Global carbon emissions from fires are difficult to quantify and have the potential to influence interannual variability and long‐term trends in atmospheric CO 2 concentrations. We used 4 years of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Visible and Infrared Scanner (VIRS) satellite data and a biogeochemical model to assess spatial and temporal variability of carbon emissions from tropical fires. The TRMM satellite data extended between 38°N and 38°S and covered the period from 1998 to 2001. A relationship between TRMM fire counts and burned area was derived using estimates of burned area from other satellite fire products in Africa and Australia and reported burned areas from the United States. We modified the Carnegie‐Ames‐Stanford‐Approach (CASA) biogeochemical model to account for both direct combustion losses and the decomposition from fire‐induced mortality, using both TRMM and Sea‐viewing Wide Field of view Sensor (SeaWiFS) satellite data as model drivers. Over the 1998–2001 period, we estimated that the sum of carbon emissions from tropical fires and fuel wood use was 2.6 Pg C yr −1 . An additional flux of 1.2 Pg C yr −1 was released indirectly, as a result of decomposition of vegetation killed by fire but not combusted. The sum of direct and indirect carbon losses from fires represented 9% of tropical and subtropical net primary production (NPP). We found that including fire processes in the tropics substantially alters the seasonal cycle of net biome production by shifting carbon losses to months with low soil moisture and low rates of soil microbial respiration. Consequently, accounting for fires increases growing season net flux by ∼12% between 38°N and 38°S, with the greatest effect occurring in highly productive savanna regions.",,,Global Change Biology,,,Wiley,"1354-1013, 1365-2486",,2003-04-03,2003,2003-04-03,2003-04,9,4,547-562,All OA; Green,Article,Research Article,"VAN DER WERF, GUIDO R.; RANDERSON, JAMES T.; COLLATZ, G.

ISAA is specifically devised for the detection of small fires. The fire detection procedure is mainly based on the multitemporal approach (TN-ALT) devised by Cuomo et al . (2001a) and makes use of statistical analyses of real fires from different regions of the Italian peninsula. Such analyses allow the characterization of these fires as well as the computation of dynamic threshold values, which are variable in time and space and calibrated on local environmental conditions. ISAA was developed using an initial data sample of 1000 fires that occurred in 1996, and then in order to achieve a highly satisfactory performance in fire detection, the statistical analyses are updated yearly, so that a wider data sample can be considered for subsequent years. The evaluation tests made use of multitemporal satellite data (from 1997 to 1999) and ground observations provided by the Italian Forestry Service. The results obtained in different regions of North and South Italy demonstrated that ISAA detected about 80% of fires (with a low rate of false alarms at 15%) and showed a high fire discrimination capability both in the worst and good light conditions. The most recent contextual methods of fire detection were applied to significant test cases and compared with the results obtained from ISAA.

A severity map was constructed over a large fire (2692 ha) occurring in July 1994 in the Barcelona province (north-east of Spain). Seven severity classes were assigned to the apparent plant damage as a function of burning intensity. Several Landsat TM and MSS images from dates immediately before and after the fire were employed to monitor plant regeneration processes as well as to evaluate the relationship with fire severity observed in situ . Plant regeneration was monitored using NDVI measurements (average class values standardized with neighbour unburned control plots). Pre-fire NDVI measurements were extracted for every plant cover category (7), field fire severity class (7), and spatial cross-tabulation of both layers (33) and compared to post-fire values. NDVI decline due to fire was positively correlated with field fire severity class. Results show different patterns of recovery for each dominant species, severity class and combination of both factors. For all cases a significant negative correlation was found between damage and regeneration ability. This work leads to a better understanding of the influence of severity, a major fire regime parameter on plant regeneration, and may aid to manage restoration on areas burned under different fire severity levels.",,,International Journal of Remote Sensing,,,Taylor & Francis,"0143-1161, 1366-5901",,2003-01,2003,2010-11-26,2003-01,24,8,1751-1763,All OA; Green,Article,Research Article,"Díaz-Delgado, R.; Lloret, F.; Pons, X.","Díaz-Delgado, R.

,pub.1049671174,10.1029/2002gl015487,,,,Small‐scale experimental testing of fire radiative energy for quantifying mass combusted in natural vegetation fires,"Combustion of forest and grassland vegetation contributes to atmospheric pollution and rising greenhouse gases concentrations. Remotely measuring the energy radiated during natural fires has been suggested as a method for enhancing current emissions estimates. When made from satellites, such measures can potentially provide important new information on large‐scale biomass combustion rates, which relate directly to the production of emissions. EOS‐MODIS now makes such observations globally, multiple times per day. Using small experimental fires observed with a field spectro‐radiometer we present the first evaluation of the relationship between time‐integrated fire radiative energy and total mass of vegetation combusted. Results indicate a linear relationship (r 2 = 0.78) for fire sizes varying over almost two orders of magnitude. Further information on the rate and intensity of burning is contained within the emission spectra. The results support the continued investigation of fire radiative energy as a new tool to enhance biomass burning emissions inventories.","Wooster is supported by the NERC and is grateful to the NERC EPFS for advice and loan of the GER3700.

,pub.1031931019,10.1016/s0034-4257(02)00096-2,,,,Overview of the radiometric and biophysical performance of the MODIS vegetation indices,"We evaluated the initial 12 months of vegetation index product availability from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the Earth Observing System-Terra platform. Two MODIS vegetation indices (VI), the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and enhanced vegetation index (EVI), are produced at 1-km and 500-m resolutions and 16-day compositing periods. This paper presents an initial analysis of the MODIS NDVI and EVI performance from both radiometric and biophysical perspectives. We utilize a combination of site-intensive and regionally extensive approaches to demonstrate the performance and validity of the two indices. Our results showed a good correspondence between airborne-measured, top-of-canopy reflectances and VI values with those from the MODIS sensor at four intensively measured test sites representing semi-arid grass/shrub, savanna, and tropical forest biomes. Simultaneously derived field biophysical measures also demonstrated the scientific utility of the MODIS VI. Multitemporal profiles of the MODIS VIs over numerous biome types in North and South America well represented their seasonal phenologies. Comparisons of the MODIS-NDVI with the NOAA-14, 1-km AVHRR-NDVI temporal profiles showed that the MODIS-based index performed with higher fidelity. The dynamic range of the MODIS VIs are presented and their sensitivities in discriminating vegetation differences are evaluated in sparse and dense vegetation areas. We found the NDVI to asymptotically saturate in high biomass regions such as in the Amazon while the EVI remained sensitive to canopy variations.","AcknowledgementsThis work is supported by NASA/MODIS Contract no.

,pub.1014103646,10.1016/s0303-2434(02)00025-9,,,,Polygon-based aggregation of remotely sensed data for regional ecological analyses,"Given current concerns about global climate change, there is an urgent need to quantify and monitor accurately the magnitude of present day terrestrial carbon sinks. This may be achieved by driving ecosystem simulation models (ESMs) spatially with remotely sensed estimates of ecological variables, such as leaf area index (LAI). Conventional procedures for analysing digital remotely sensed images rely upon pixel-based methods, using spectral information from each pixel to allocate it to a land cover type or estimate a surface property (e.g. LAI). Groups of pixels, within areas assumed to be ‘thematically homogeneous’, will not necessarily provide the same allocation or estimation due to data noise, atmospheric effects and natural variation of the surface. Pixels on the boundary between areas are an additional problem as their spectral information derives from more than one surface type. If contextual information on the spatial pattern and structure of the landscape could be included in the analysis (e.g. forest inventory polygons, agricultural land parcels), then the accuracy of the allocations or estimations (e.g. of LAI) could be increased. Polygon-based approaches, where all pixels within a defined area are presumed similar and so can be combined prior to analysis, offer a solution. These approaches are implemented most efficiently within an integrated GIS where raster and ancillary data can be analysed with reference to vector land polygons. A procedure using remotely sensed data in a polygon format to produce accurate spatial estimates of LAI (on which to drive an ESM) is described. In relation to a pixel-based procedure, the polygon-based procedure provided: (1) increased accuracy, (2) more appropriate and realistic representations of the environment and (3) a powerful and flexible framework for further data analysis.","AcknowledgementsThis work was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council.

,pub.1033910318,10.1046/j.1365-2486.2002.00528.x,,,,Simulating fire regimes in human‐dominated ecosystems: Iberian Peninsula case study,"Abstract A new fire model is proposed which estimates areas burnt on a macro‐scale (10–100 km). It consists of three parts: evaluation of fire danger due to climatic conditions, estimation of the number of fires and the extent of the area burnt. The model can operate on three time steps, daily, monthly and yearly, and interacts with a Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (DGVM), thereby providing an important forcing for natural competition. Fire danger is related to number of dry days and amplitude of daily temperature during these days. The number of fires during fire days varies with human population density. Areas burnt are calculated based on average wind speed, available fuel and fire duration. The model has been incorporated into the Lund‐Potsdam‐Jena Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (LPJ‐DGVM) and has been tested for peninsular Spain. LPJ‐DGVM was modified to allow bi‐directional feedback between fire disturbance and vegetation dynamics. The number of fires and areas burnt were simulated for the period 1974–94 and compared against observations. The model produced realistic results, which are well correlated, both spatially and temporally, with the fire statistics. Therefore, a relatively simple mechanistic fire model can be used to reproduce fire regime patterns in human‐ dominated ecosystems over a large region and a long time period.",,,Global Change Biology,,,Wiley,"1354-1013, 1365-2486",,2002-09-06,2002,2002-09-06,2002-10,8,10,984-998,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Venevsky, Sergey; Thonicke, Kirsten; Sitch, Stephen; Cramer, Wolfgang","Venevsky, Sergey (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Telegrafenberg C4, D‐14473 Potsdam, Germany); Thonicke, Kirsten (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Telegrafenberg C4, D‐14473 Potsdam, Germany); Sitch, Stephen (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Telegrafenberg C4, D‐14473 Potsdam, Germany); Cramer, Wolfgang (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Telegrafenberg C4, D‐14473 Potsdam, Germany)",,"Venevsky, Sergey (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research); Thonicke, Kirsten (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research); Sitch, Stephen (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research); Cramer, Wolfgang (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research)",Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research,grid.4556.2,Potsdam,,Germany,,,,,,166,11,,8.42,4,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1033910318,41 Environmental Sciences; 4102 Ecological Applications,,,,,,B07 Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,,

These fire perimeters and their fire behavior characteristics (e.g., spread rate, fireline intensity) are essentially identical to the products of perimeter expansion techniques.

,pub.1003939462,10.1016/s0303-2434(02)00006-5,,,,Forest fire risk zone mapping from satellite imagery and GIS,"A forest fire can be a real ecological disaster, regardless of whether it is caused by natural forces or human activity. It is impossible to control nature, but it is possible to map forest fire risk zones and thereby minimise the frequency of fire, avert damage, etc. Forest fire risk zones are locations where a fire is likely to start, and from where it can easily spread to other areas. Anticipation of factors influencing the occurrence of fire and understanding the dynamic behaviour of fire are critical aspects of fire management. A precise evaluation of forest fire problems and decisions on solution methods can only be satisfactorily made when a fire risk zone map is available. Satellite data plays a vital role in identifying and mapping forest fires and in recording the frequency at which different vegetation types/zones are affected. A geographic information system (GIS) can be used effectively to combine different forest-fire-causing factors for demarcating the forest fire risk zone map. Gorna Subwatershed, located in Madhya Pradesh, India, was selected for this study because it continually faces a forest fire problem. A colour composite image from the Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS) 1D LISS III was used for vegetation mapping. Slope and other coverages (roads and settlements) were derived from topographic maps and field information. The thematic and topographic information was digitised and ARC/INFO GIS software was used for analysis. Forest fire risk zones were delineated by assigning subjective weights to the classes of all the layers according to their sensitivity to fire or their fire-inducing capability. Four categories of forest fire risk ranging from very high to low were derived automatically. Almost 30% of the study area was predicted to be under very high and high-risk zones. The evolved GIS-based forest fire risk model of the study area was found to be in strong agreement with actual fire-affected sites.","AcknowledgementsThe authors are grateful to Dr. V Jayaraman, Director, Earth Observation Systems Programme Office, Indian Space Research Organisation Headquarters, Bangalore, for providing valuable support during the analysis of the present work.",,International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation,,,Elsevier,"1569-8432, 1872-826X, 0303-2434",,2002-08,2002,,2002-08,4,1,1-10,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Jaiswal, Rajeev Kumar; Mukherjee, Saumitra; Raju, Kumaran D.; Saxena, Rajesh","Jaiswal, Rajeev Kumar (Department of Space, NNRMS, ISRO Headquarters, Antariksh Bhavan, New BEL Road, Bangalore 560 094, India); Mukherjee, Saumitra (School of Environmental Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi 110067, India); Raju, Kumaran D.

The main factors that affect the problem of forest fires in Greece are vegetation, climate conditions and most of all, arson (Proceedings of Forest Fires in Greece, Thessaloniki, 1990, p. 97). In Greece, after 1974, the number of forest fires and the total burned areas have risen dramatically. The design of an effective fight and prevention policy is a very important matter, as it can minimize the destruction. This paper describes an expert system that classifies the prefectures of Greece into forest fire risk zones, using a completely new methodology. The concept of fuzzy expected intervals (F.E.I.) was defined by Kandel and Byatt (Proc. IEEE, 66, 1978, 1619) and offered a very good approach towards forest fire risk classification. Fuzzy expected intervals are narrow intervals of values that best describe the forest fire problem in the country or a part of the country for a certain time period. Fuzzy logic was applied to produce a F.E.I. for each prefecture of the country. A successful classification of the prefectures of Greece (in forest fire risk zones) was performed by the expert system by comparing the produced fuzzy expected intervals to each other and by using a supervised machine learning algorithm that assigns a certain weight of forest fire risk to each prefecture (Machine Learning, John Wiley and Sons, 1995).",,,Forest Policy and Economics,,,Elsevier,"1389-9341, 1872-7050",,2002-05,2002,,2002-05,4,1,43-54,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Iliadis, Lazaros S.; Papastavrou, Anastasios K.; Lefakis, Panagiotis D.","Iliadis, Lazaros S.

There are large geographical and seasonal variations of τ, controlled mainly by emission, transport, and hygroscopic properties of aerosols. The model calculated total τs at 500 nm have been compared with the satellite retrieval products from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) over both land and ocean and from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) over the ocean. The model reproduces most of the prominent features in the satellite data, with an overall agreement within a factor of 2 over the aerosol source areas and outflow regions. While there are clear differences among the satellite products, a major discrepancy between the model and the satellite data is that the model shows a stronger variation of τ from source to remote regions. Quantitative comparison of model and satellite data is still difficult, due to the large uncertainties involved in deriving the τ values by both the model and satellite retrieval, and by the inconsistency in physical and optical parameters used between the model and the satellite retrieval. The comparison of monthly averaged model results with the sun photometer network [Aerosol Robotics Network (AERONET)] measurements shows that the model reproduces the seasonal variations at most of the sites, especially the places where biomass burning or dust aerosol dominates.","We thank Larry Stowe and the NOAA Satellite Active Archive for providing the one-channel AVHRR retrieval products of aerosol optical thickness, and William Cooke for providing the anthropogenic emission inventory for OC and BC emissions.

The utility of BAI for burned land discrimination was assessed against other widely used spectral vegetation indices: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI) and Global Environmental Monitoring Index (GEMI). BAI provided the highest discrimination ability among the indices tested. It also showed a high variability within scorched areas, which reduced the average normalized distances with respect to other indices. A source of potential confusion between burned land areas and low-reflectance targets, such as water bodies and cloud shadows, was identified.

The study, which was conducted in a region at the savannah/forest transition in the southwestern part of the Central African Republic, explores the differential impact on land cover of early- and late-season fires and analyses burning regimes as a function of human use of the land. This was addressed using multivariate regression models between maps of land-cover change derived from remote sensing data, maps of burnt areas and a detailed map of ecotypes. In dense forests, burning is strongly associated with land-cover changes, while in savannahs the occurrence of (mostly) early fires does not lead to land-cover change. Fires associated with continuous and fragmented burnt patches have similar impacts on vegetation cover. Dense semi-humid forests in the study area were affected by a high level of burning due to land uses at their peripheries. The results confirm recent findings concerning human control on the timing of burning in savannahs. Early fires fragment the landscape and prevent the spatial diffusion of later damaging fires. Where no human settlements are present, late fires become more prevalent. Finally, the study measured an increase in vegetation cover in a few areas affected by very early burning. Using burnt area rather than active fire data allowed a better analysis of the spatial association between landscape attributes and burning events.","AcknowledgementsThis work was performed as part of the research programme on satellite remote sensing for the Belgian State, Services of the Prime Minister, Office for Scientific, Technical and Cultural affairs (contract T4/10/31).

However, recovery of pine species after large fires is not always successful. In this study, we analyze the post-fire regeneration pattern of Pinus halepensis, P. nigra and P. sylvestris three years after fire, in an area affected by a large wildfire in 1994. Moreover, we develop a model of succession to predict medium-term changes in forest composition 30 years after fire from the regeneration monitored during the first years after fire. The results show that, although the three pine species regenerate quite well in the absence of fire, their post-fire regeneration is very different: P. halepensis shows high seedling density after fire, but P. nigra and P. sylvestris almost disappear from burned plots. The model simulations of the future forest composition 30 years after fire indicate that 77-93% of plots dominated by these two pines change after fire to communities dominated by oaks (Quercus ilex, Q. cerrioides). There is also a considerable number (7-16%) of these burned pine plots that change to shrublands. Thus, these observational and modelling results suggest that large fire events, which have increased considerably in the Mediterranean region in the last decades, may decrease the overall distribution of these pine species, especially that of P.nigra and P. sylvestris.",,,Ecoscience,,,Taylor & Francis,"1195-6860, 2376-7626",,2002-01,2002,2016-03-23,2002-01,9,1,89-97,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Retana, Javier; Espelta, Josep Maria; Habrouk, Abdessamad; OrdoÑEz, Jose Luis; de Solà-Morales, Faustina","Retana, Javier (Unitat d’Ecologia i Centre de Recerca Ecològica i Aplicacions Forestals, Facultat de Ciències, Autonomous University of Barcelona, 08193, Bellaterra (Barcelona), Spain, Email:, Javier.Retana@uab.es); Espelta, Josep Maria (Unitat d’Ecologia i Centre de Recerca Ecològica i Aplicacions Forestals, Facultat de Ciències, Autonomous University of Barcelona, 08193, Bellaterra (Barcelona), Spain, Email:, Javier.Retana@uab.es); Habrouk, Abdessamad (Unitat d’Ecologia i Centre de Recerca Ecològica i Aplicacions Forestals, Facultat de Ciències, Autonomous University of Barcelona, 08193, Bellaterra (Barcelona), Spain, Email:, Javier.Retana@uab.es); OrdoÑEz, Jose Luis (Unitat d’Ecologia i Centre de Recerca Ecològica i Aplicacions Forestals, Facultat de Ciències, Autonomous University of Barcelona, 08193, Bellaterra (Barcelona), Spain, Email:, Javier.Retana@uab.es); de Solà-Morales, Faustina (Unitat d’Ecologia i Centre de Recerca Ecològica i Aplicacions Forestals, Facultat de Ciències, Autonomous University of Barcelona, 08193, Bellaterra (Barcelona), Spain, Email:, Javier.Retana@uab.es)","Retana, Javier (Autonomous University of Barcelona)","Retana, Javier (Autonomous University of Barcelona); Espelta, Josep Maria (Autonomous University of Barcelona); Habrouk, Abdessamad (Autonomous University of Barcelona); OrdoÑEz, Jose Luis (Autonomous University of Barcelona); de Solà-Morales, Faustina (Autonomous University of Barcelona)",Autonomous University of Barcelona,grid.7080.f,Cerdanyola del Vallès,,Spain,,,,,,141,9,,8.98,3,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1001127184,31 Biological Sciences; 3103 Ecology,Regenerative Medicine,,,,,C14 Geography and Environmental Studies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,,
,pub.1050491667,10.1046/j.1523-1739.2001.00097.x,,,,Historic Fire Regime in Southern California Shrublands,"Abstract: Historical variability in fire regime is a conservative indicator of ecosystem sustainability, and thus understanding the natural role of fire in chaparral ecosystems is necessary for proper fire management. It has been suggested that the “natural” fire regime was one of frequent small fires that fragmented the landscape into a fine‐grained mixture of age classes that precluded large, catastrophic fires. Some researchers claim that this regime was lost because of highly effective fire suppression and conclude that if fire managers could “restore” a regime of frequent fires with widespread prescription burning, they could eliminate the hazard of catastrophic fires. The primary evidence in support of this model is a study that compared contemporary burning patterns in southern California, U.S.A., a region subject to fire suppression, with patterns in northern Baja California, Mexico, where there is less effective fire suppression. We found that differences in fire regime between these two regions are inconclusive and could not be ascribed conclusively to differences in fire suppression. Historical records suggest that the natural fire regime in southern California shrublands was rather coarse‐grained and not substantively different from the contemporary regime. There is no evidence that fire‐management policies have created the contemporary fire regime dominated by massive Santa Ana wind‐driven fires. Increased expenditures on fire suppression and increased loss of property and lives are the result of human demographic patterns that place increasing demand on fire‐suppression forces. 
   Resumen: La variabilidad histórica del régimen de incendios es un indicador conservador de la sostenibilidad del ecosistema y por lo tanto se necesita conocer el papel natural del fuego en ecosistemas de chaparral para un manejo adecuado. Se ha sugerido que el régimen ‘natural’ de incendios estuvo compuesto por pequeños incendios que fragmentaron el paisaje en una mezcla de grano fino de clases de edades que previno incendios grandes catastróficos. Algunos investigadores aseguran que este régimen se perdió debido a la alta efectividad en la suspensión de incendios y concluyen que si los manejadores de incendios pudieran ‘restaurar’ un régimen de incendios frecuentes mediante la prescripción de quemas dispersas se podrían eliminar los peligros de los incendios catastróficos. La evidencia primaria en apoyo a este modelo es un estudio que comparó los patrones contemporáneos de incendios en el sur de California, USA (sujeto a supresión de incendios) con patrones del norte de Baja California, México (con menor supresión efectiva de incendios). Encontramos que las diferencias en el régimen de incendios entre estas dos regiones son inciertas y que estas diferencias no se pueden atribuir conclusivamente a las diferencias en supresión de incendios. Los registros históricos sugieren que el régimen natural de incendios en las zonas arbustivas del sur de California fue mas bien de un grano grueso y no fue sustancialmente diferente al régimen contemporáneo. No existe evidencia de que las políticas de manejo de incendios han creado el régimen contemporáneo de incendios dominado por fuegos masivos conducidos por vientos de Santa Ana. El incremento en gastos para la supresión de incendios y el incremento en la pérdida de propiedades y vidas son el resultado de patrones demográficos que colocan una demanda creciente en la supresión de incendios.","We thank M.

To simulate the influence of fire on the dynamic equilibrium, as well as on potential change, of vegetation at the global scale, we have developed a fire model, running inside the modular framework of the Lund–Potsdam–Jena Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (LPJ‐DGVM).    Estimated litter moisture is the main driver of day‐to‐day fire probability. The length of the fire season is used to estimate the fractional area of a grid cell which is burnt in a given year. This affected area is converted into an average fire return interval which can be compared to observations.   When driven by observed climate for the 20th century (at a 0.5° longitude/latitude resolution), the model yielded fire return intervals in good agreement with observations for many regions (except parts of semiarid Africa and boreal Siberia).

where humans live in close proximity to forests. To date, there has been no
comprehensive analysis of contemporary wildfire patterns or the influence of
landscape-level factors in the northern, largely forested parts of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan, USA.
Using electronic archives from the USDA Forest Service and from the
Departments of Natural Resources of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, we
created and analysed a new, spatially explicit data set: the Lake States Fire
Database. Most of the 18 514 fires during 1985—1995 were smaller
than 4 ha, although there were 746 fires larger than 41 ha. Most fires were
caused by debris burning and incendiary activity. There was considerable
interannual variability in fire counts; over 80% of fires occurred in
March, April, or May.
We analysed the relationship of land cover and ownership to fires at two
different fire size thresholds across four gridded spatial scales. Fires were
more likely on non-forest than within forests; this was also true if
considering only fires larger than 41 ha. An area of National or State Forest
was less likely to have experienced a fire during the study period than was a
forest of equal size outside National or State Forest boundaries. Large fires
were less likely in State Forests, although they were neither more nor less
likely to have occurred on National Forests. Fire frequency also varied
significantly by forest type. All results were extremely consistent across
analysis resolutions, indicating robust relationships.",,,International Journal of Wildland Fire,,,CSIRO Publishing,"1049-8001, 1448-5516",,2001-07-13,2001,2001-07-13,2001,10,2,145-154,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Cardille, Jeffrey A.; Ventura, Stephen J.","Cardille, Jeffrey A.

,pub.1025187495,10.1016/s0378-1127(00)00435-7,,,,Positive fire–grass feedback in Mediterranean Basin woodlands,"Fires can mediate switches between alternative vegetation types which may be more flammable and thus reinforce fire spread. We tested if there is a positive feedback between the expansion of the tussock grass Ampelodesmos mauritanica (hereafter Ampelodesmos) and fire hazard in Mediterranean Basin communities and its relation to tree cover decline. The effect of fire on Ampelodesmos population structure was analysed by surveying stands burned at different fire frequencies. The effect of vegetation dominated by Ampelodesmos on fire behaviour compared to other species coexisting in the community was predicted by the Rothermel fire propagation model BEHAVE. There was a negative correlation between pine cover and percentage of Ampelodesmos plants. Ampelodesmos mortality after fire is very low. Recently burned stands had a higher proportion of reproductive plants and higher seedling density than unburned stands. The high temperatures reached during fire may kill seeds, the higher seedling recruitment results from fast resprouting and higher seed production of burned plants compared to unburned plants 1 year after fire. Simulations with the BEHAVE fire model predict that Ampelodesmos increases fire intensity and spread because of its high accumulation of fuel load and standing dead material. The results suggest that there is a positive relationship between Ampelodesmos abundance and fire regime which increases the invasive potential of this grass and the fire risk of the community where it dominates.","AcknowledgementsThis work could not have been done without the field assistance of Biology and Environmental Science students from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB).

Both of them are closely related to climate. There is evidence of decreasing precipitation in the Mediterranean, particularly during summer. There are also indications of an increased variability in the rainfall distribution. Climatic changes, though show high heterogeneity at a local scale. Based on these observations, we have evaluated the following hypotheses for the Region of Valencia (East Spain). (1) During the past three decades, climatic conditions have become more favourable for wildfires and high erosivity rainfall events. We have used 30-year climate records from 97 meteorological stations to examine this. Results indicate that in general the hypothesis is true, although trends are spatially dependent. (2) The effect of high intensity rain on burned land may substantially affect short-term ecosystem composition and function, and thus successional trajectories. Based on a plot scale study, we have assessed nutrient and vegetation dynamics after burning a pyrophytic community dominated by gorse (Ulex parviflorus). Erosion following high intensity rainfall affects physicochemical soil properties. As a consequence, plant cover is reduced and specific composition affected, changing the previous relationship between obligate seeder and resprouter species.","AcknowledgementsWe thank Dr. Pérez Cueva (Department of Geography, University of Valencia) and the Regional Government of Valencia (Conselleria d’Ordenació del Territori, Generalitat Valenciana) for facilitating our access to the database used in this study.

Their relative importance in boreal forests has been unclear. I evaluated the effect of fuels on a ∼74 000‐km2 landscape in the boreal mixedwood region of western Canada. My data were the compositions, or the proportional areas of different forest types, of 48 mapped lightning fires and of their immediate surroundings. I measured areal compositions from forest inventory maps, using a five‐way classification representing deciduous forest, three types of coniferous forest, and wetlands. The fires burned between 1980 and 1993. Fire sizes ranged from 70 ha to 70 000 ha. By multivariate linear regression, fire surroundings explain 57% of the variation in forest types within mapped fires. Fire compositions are not representative of the study area as a whole, or of a fire's surroundings, and are unrelated to fire size and location within the study area. Using the model, I predicted the areas of the five types burned within all other lightning fires >200 ha in the study area during 1961–1996 and estimated type‐specific mean annual burn rates. These rates vary by an order of magnitude. Deciduous stands burn at the lowest rate, and black spruce stands burn at the highest rate. Fires exhibit significant preferences between forest types at both local and regional scales. Preference orderings are similar at both scales and are generally consistent with the rank order of estimated burn rates. Preferential burning may result from between‐class differences in vertical canopy structure and foliage characteristics. The statistical model and the postulated variations in fire behavior between classes indicate that landscape‐scale fuels management may be feasible in this system. The rank ordering of burning frequencies and preferences is the inverse of the planned disturbance rates under forest management.","This research was funded by the Sustainable Forest Management Network, by grants in aid from Alberta Pacific Forest Industries, Inc., and by a Canada Tri‐Council Eco‐Research Doctoral Fellowship.

The objective of this study is to understand the role of fires in vegetation‐cover change and, conversely, the role of land use as a controlling factor of fires.   Location The study sites are located in Mato Grosso, Brazil, in Central Africa and on the border between Kenya and Tanzania.   Methods The role of vegetation fire is addressed through a landscape‐scale analysis of the spatial association between maps of active fires and maps of land‐cover change derived from remote sensing data for the different sites in Africa and South America.   Results The empirical results of this study clearly support the idea that fires have widely varying impacts on land cover in savanna and forest ecosystems. Fires play different roles within the different components of landscape mosaics and at different times of the land‐cover change trajectory. The impact of fires on vegetation is mainly controlled by land use.   Conclusions There is thus a need to consider the socioeconomic purpose of biomass burning and the context in which such activities are undertaken. In forest ecosystems, a statistically significant relationship exists between the occurrence of fires and forest‐cover changes. One could not conclude however, that fires are always the cause of the change in land cover, nor that fires are a reliable indicator of ‘hot spots’ of deforestation. Current low spatial resolution information on fire activity derived from remote sensing systems can be prone to inaccuracies due to a poor co‐location of fire with respect to land‐cover data, and temporal sampling problems affecting fire data.","S.

Location Fires are detected daily at a spatial resolution of 1 km for all land areas of the globe.   Methods From the fire location information a daily gridded product at 0.5° by 0.5° has been constructed. Two methods of characterizing the spatio‐temporal pattern of vegetation fires are discussed. The first applies empirical orthogonal function analysis to the monthly series of gridded data. The second approach defines and extracts a number of spatial and temporal parameters from the gridded product. The descriptive parameters extracted are used in a cluster analysis in order to group cells with similar characteristics into a small number of classes.   Results Using daily global satellite observations, it is possible to characterize the spatial and temporal variability in fire activity. Most of this variability is within the tropical belt, where the majority of fire activity is concentrated, nonetheless fire was also detected in temperate and boreal regions. The period in which fire occurred varied from region to region. Parameterization provided a very synthetic view of this variability facilitating regional intercomparison. Clustering identifies five classes of fire activity, each of which can be associated with particular climatic conditions, vegetation types and land‐use.   Main conclusions Global monitoring of vegetation fire from satellite is possible. The analysis provides a coherent, consistent and synoptic view of global fire activty with one data set. The type of information extracted can be of use in global atmospheric chemistry modelling and for studying the role of fire in relation to global change issues.",,,Journal of Biogeography,,,Wiley,"0305-0270, 1365-2699",,2000-01,2000,2001-12-24,2000-01,27,1,57-69,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Dwyer, Edward; Pereira, José M.

This article examines the strengths and weaknesses of a number of approaches to the monitoring of biomass burning at a regional scale and suggests how to best combine the information content on fire distribution provided by different earth observation satellites. Remotely sensed data acquired over Central Africa from a variety of sensors (airborne video camera, SPOT XS, Landsat Thematic Mapper, NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer, and ERS-1 Along Track Scanning Radiometer) were used to provide quantitative measurements of the spectral separability, and temporal and spatial sampling associated with the detection of burnt areas and active fires. Three main strategies to the monitoring of biomass burning were analyzed: detection of burnt areas at fine spatial resolution, detection of burnt areas at coarse spatial resolution and high temporal frequency, and detection of active fires at a coarse spatial resolution and high temporal frequency. In each case, we assess the detectability of the selected biomass burning indicator, the statistical representativity in time and space of the sample detected and whether the sample observations are an unbiased estimator of the total biomass burning events in the region. We conclude that while active fire detection remains important in defining the seasonality, timing, and interannual variations in biomass burning, the most reliable strategy for estimating biomass burning at a regional scale is a multisensor approach in which regional burnt area estimates from coarse spatial resolution data are calibrated on the basis of a sample of fine spatial resolution estimates of burnt areas, using a double sampling with regression estimator approach.","AcknowledgementsThis work was funded by the TELSAT 4 Programme of the Services of the Prime Minister, Office for Scientific, Technical and Cultural affairs in Belgium.

The objectives are to assess` the regrowth pathways followed by different species populations after a disturbance, to analyze the speed of recovery in the years following fire, and, finally, to estimate rates of regrowth. The test area is located in the north of the province of Alicante, on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. This area, especially prone to finest fires, shows a remarkable land-use history and human pressure. The test areas belong to different microclimatic zones, show diverse vegetation communities, and have different degrees of stoniness; so we attempted to discover their postfire behaviors according to their bioaeographical conditions. To accomplish these objectives, we used nine Landsat .5 thematic mapper images from 1984 to 1994 to which geometric and radioneetrie corrections were applied. Once the comparability between images was guaranteed, we generated a normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) for each date. First, we demonstrated that the differences between (NDVI) images were suitable for mapping burned areas. Second, we undertook a nonlinear regression. analysis between NDVI values and the time elapsed since the fire to assess the recovery processes.

As part of this process, a panel of 16 scientists met to review the utility of SAR for monitoring ecosystem processes. The consensus of this ecology panel was that the demonstrated capabilities of imaging radars for investigating terrestrial ecosystems could best be organized into four broad categories: 1) classification and detection of change in land cover; 2) estimation of woody plant biomass; 3) monitoring the extent and timing of inundation; and 4) monitoring other temporally-dynamic processes. The major conclusions from this panel were: 1) Multichannel radar data provide a means to classify land-cover patterns because of its sensitivity to variations in vegetation structure and vegetation and ground-layer moisture. The relative utility of data from imaging radars versus multispectral scanner data has yet to be determined in a rigorous fashion over a wide range of biomes for this application. 2) Imaging radars having the capability to monitor variations in biomass in forested ecosystems. This capability is not consistent among different forest types. The upper levels of sensitivity for L-band and C-band systems such as SIR-C range between <100 t ha−1 for complex tropical forest canopies to ∼250 t ha−1 for simpler forests dominated by a single tree species. Best performance for biomass estimation is achieved using lower frequency (P- and L-band) radar systems with a cross-polarized (HV or VH) channel. 3) Like-polarized imaging radars (HH or VV) are well suited for detection of flooding under vegetation canopies. Lower frequency radars (P- and L-band) are most optimal for detecting flooding under forests, whereas higher frequency radars (C-band) work best for wetlands dominated by herbaceous vegetation. 4) It has been shown that spaceborne radars that have been in continuous operation for several years [such as the C-band (VV) ERS-1 SAR] provide information on temporally dynamic processes, such as monitoring a) variations in flooding in nonwooded wetlands, b) changes in the frozen/thawed status of vegetation, and c) relative variations in soil moisture in areas with low amounts of vegetation cover. These observations have been shown to be particularly important in studying ecosystems in high northern latitudes.",,,Remote Sensing of Environment,,,Elsevier,"0034-4257, 1879-0704",,1997-02,1997,,1997-02,59,2,141-156,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Kasischke, Eric S; Melack, John M; Dobson, M Craig","Kasischke, Eric S (Center for Earth Sciences, Environmental Research Institute of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA); Melack, John M (Department of Biological Sciences and Institute for Computational Earth System Science, University of California, Santa Barbar, USA); Dobson, M Craig (Radiation Laboratory, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA)","Kasischke, Eric S (Environmental Research Institute of Michigan)","Kasischke, Eric S (Environmental Research Institute of Michigan); Melack, John M (Department of Biological Sciences and Institute for Computational Earth System Science, University of California, Santa Barbar, USA); Dobson, M Craig (University of Michigan–Ann Arbor)",Environmental Research Institute of Michigan; University of Michigan–Ann Arbor,grid.421075.5; grid.214458.e,Ann Arbor; Ann Arbor,Michigan; Michigan,United States; United States,,,,,,0,0,,,,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1016031616,37 Earth Sciences,,,,,,C14 Geography and Environmental Studies,15 Life on Land,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,,

The emission factors for trace emissions from these fires can vary by a factor of 6 to 8, depending on whether the fires burn in miombo woodlands or in ecosystems where grass vegetation dominates. Ground‐based measurements of smoke emissions and aboveground biomass were made for fires in grassland and woodland savanna ecosystems in South Africa and Zambia. A high combustion efficiency (  ) was measured for the pure grassland; i.e., a high proportion of carbon was released as CO 2 . The  was lower for woodland savanna ecosystems with variable amounts of grass and with a more compact layer of leaf material and litter lying near the ground. The  was found to be dependent on the ratio of grass to the sum of grass and litter.

We used computer simulations to compare the area and shape of kernel density estimates to the true area and shape of multimodal two—dimensional distributions.

,pub.1051572399,10.1029/95jd03426,,,,A global three‐dimensional model study of carbonaceous aerosols,"We have developed detailed emission inventories for the amount of both black and organic carbon particles from biomass burning sources (wood fuel, charcoal burning, dung, charcoal production, agricultural, savanna and forest fires). We have also estimated an inventory for organic carbon particles from fossil fuel burning and urban activities from an existing inventory for fossil fuel sources of black carbon. We also provide an estimate for the natural source of organic matter. These emissions have been used together with our global aerosol model to study the global distribution of carbonaceous aerosols. The accuracy of the inventories and the model formulation has been tested by comparing the model simulations of carbonaceous aerosols in the atmosphere and in precipitation with observations reported in the literature. For most locations and seasons, the predicted concentrations are in reasonable agreement with the observations, although the model underpredicts black carbon concentrations in polar regions. The predicted concentrations in remote areas are extremely sensitive to both the rate of removal by wet deposition and the height of injection of the aerosols. Finally, a global map of the aerosol single scattering albedo was developed from the simulated carbonaceous particle distribution and a previously developed model for aerosol sulfates. The computed aerosol single scattering albedos compare well with observations, suggesting that most of the important aerosol species have been included in the model. For most locations and seasons, the single scattering albedo is larger than 0.85, indicating that these aerosols, in general, lead to a net cooling.",,,Journal of Geophysical Research,,,American Geophysical Union (AGU),"0148-0227, 2156-2202",,1996-08-27,1996,1996-08,1996-08-27,101,D14,19411-19432,All OA; Green,Article,Research Article,"Liousse, C.; Penner, J.

The post‐fire regeneration of a 45‐yr‐old Pinus halepensis (Aleppo pine) forest, burned in July 1989, has been studied on Mount Párnis, Attiki, Greece. Four experimental plots at various slopes and exposures were established at altitudes of 400 ‐ 450 m, and monitored for 3 yr at 3‐month intervals. Early regeneration took place abundantly, through both resprouting and seed germination of mostly hard‐seeded herbs and shrubs; the floristic richness was high with 80 taxa. Pine seedling emergence took place during the winter of the first post‐fire year. The mean pine seedling density by the end of the recruitment period (March 1990) was 5–6 seedlings/m 2 . This density decreased slightly during late spring and considerably during summer. During the second post‐fire year only a relatively slight decline was observed; thereafter the density was stabilized to 1 ‐ 2 seedlings/m 2 . Mortality follows a negative exponential curve that levels off at ca. 20 %. Height distributions throughout the three post‐fire years were all positively skewed as a result of the presence of few very tall saplings. A considerable fraction (20 %) of very short (5–15 cm) saplings were still alive 39 months after the fire; these may constitute the sapling bank. Based on the analysis of height distribution curves, it is concluded that the taller seedlings survived significantly better than the shorter ones.",,,Journal of Vegetation Science,,,Wiley,"1100-9233, 1654-1103",,1996-04,1996,2009-02-24,1996-04,7,2,273-280,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Thanos, Costas A.; Daskalakou, Evangelia N.; Nikolaidou, Sotiria","Thanos, Costas A.

A limited ground-truthing experiment compared the grassland dry biomass, soil moisture and fuel moisture with the satellite derived NDVI and the Soil Dryness Index (SDI) and the Grassland Curing Index (GCI). The NDVI gave good results for fuel moisture content (FMC) and soil moisture content (SMC) but unreliable image availability precludes the use of NDVI as a stand alone system for fire managers. The SDI and GCI also performed well in predicting SMC and FMC. Very good results were obtained when the NDVI and the GCI were combined.

This method divides the state into 64 distinct physiographic regions and estimates areal extent of five different land covers: two forest types, peat land, tundra, and nonvegetated. The areal extent of each cover type was estimated from a review of topographic maps of each region and observations on the distribution of forest types within the state. Using previous observations and theoretical models for the two forest types found in interior Alaska, models of biomass accumulation as a function of stand age were developed. Stand age distributions for each region were determined using a statistical distribution based on fire frequency, which was from available long‐term historical records. Estimates of the degree of biomass combusted were based on recent field observations as well as research reported in the literature. The location and areal extent of fires in this region for 1990 and 1991 were based on both field observations and analysis of satellite (advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR)) data sets. Estimates of average carbon release for the two study years ranged between 2.54 and 3.00 kg m −2 , which are 2.2 to 2.6 times greater than estimates used in other studies of carbon release through biomass burning in boreal forests.

A map of burn severity resulting from the 1988 fires that occurred in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) was derived from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery and used to assess the isolation of burned areas, the heterogeneity that resulted from fires burning under moderate and severe burning conditions, and the relationship between heterogeneity and fire size. The majority of severely burned areas were within close proximity (50 to 200 m) to unburned or lightly burned areas, suggesting that few burned sites are very far from potential sources of propagules for plant reestablishment. Fires that occurred under moderate burning conditions early during the 1988 fire season resulted in a lower proportion of crown fire than fires that occurred under severe burning conditions later in the season. Increased dominance and contagion of burn severity classes and a decrease in the edge: area ratio for later fires indicated a slightly more aggregated burn pattern compared to early fires. The proportion of burned area in different burn severity classes varied as a function of daily fire size. When daily area burned was relatively low, the proportion of burned area in each burn severity class varied widely. When daily burned area exceeded 1250 ha, the burned area contained about 50 % crown fire, 30 % severe surface burn, and 20 % light surface burn. Understanding the effect of fire on landscape heterogeneity is important because the kinds, amounts, and spatial distribution of burned and unburned areas may influence the reestablishment of plant species on burned sites.",,,Journal of Vegetation Science,,,Wiley,"1100-9233, 1654-1103",,1994-10,1994,2009-02-24,1994-10,5,5,731-742,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Turner, Monica G.; Hargrove, William W.; Gardner, Robert H.; Romme, William H.","Turner, Monica G.

The spectral class approach produced significant results only for the June 1990 sample period (r=0.96). Significant relationships were found for the August 1989, June 1990, and September 1990 samples periods (r2=0.95, 0.71, and 0.95, respectively) when the data were aggregated by greenness strata.

A View from the South,"Abstract A general model is presented describing ecosystem degradation to help decide when restoration, rehabilitation, or reallocation should be the preferred response. The latter two pathways are suggested when one or more “thresholds of irreversibility” have been crossed in the course of ecosystem degradation, and when “passive” restoration to a presumed predisturbance condition is deemed impossible. The young but burgeoning field of ecological restoration, and the older field of rehabilitation and sustainable range management of arid and semiarid lands (ASAL), are found to have much in common, especially compared with the reallocation of lands, which is often carried out without reference to pre‐existing ecosystems. After clarifying some basic terminology, we present 18 vital ecosystem attributes for evaluating stages of degradation and planning experiments in the restoration or rehabilitation of degraded ecosystems. Finally, we offer 10 hypotheses concerning ecological restoration and rehabilitation as they apply to ASAL and perhaps to all terrestrial ecosystems.",,,Restoration Ecology,,,Wiley,"1061-2971, 1526-100X",,1993-03,1993,2006-04-07,1993-03,1,1,8-17,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Aronson, J.; Floret, C.; Le Floc'h, E.; Ovalle, C.; Pontanier, R.","Aronson, J.

The model incorporates both environmental and human factors, including vegetation, temperature, precipitation, human structures, and transportation. Spatial autocorrelation was examined for both fire activity and vegetation to determine the specification of neighborhood effects in the model. Parameters were estimated using stepwise logistic regressions. Among the explanatory variables, the variable that represents the neighborhood effects of spatial processes is shown to be of great importance in the distribution of wildland fires. An important implication of this result is that the management of wildland fires must take into consideration neighborhood effects in addition to environmental and human factors. The distribution of fire occurrence probability is more accurately mapped when the model incorporates the spatial term of neighborhood effects.

Social research in the savanna woodland biome of northern Benin shows that in addition to the commonly cited reasons for setting bush-fires—tradition, clearing fields, hunting, and improving dry season grazing—villagers burn to deter wild animals, to increase the supply of certain forest products, and to take revenge on the national parks. Villagers' perceptions of the effects of fire often correspond to our scientific understanding. With an appreciation of the villagers' logic we can predict that the establishment and protection of national parks will increase the incidence of human-caused bush-fires. To counter this, parks need to promote changes in long-standing traditions, encourage more intensive land-use practises, assist in protecting crops and livestock against wild animals, and improve relationships with the surrounding villagers.",,,Biological Conservation,,,Elsevier,"0006-3207, 1873-2917",,1993,1993,,1993,65,1,23-28,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Hough, John L.","Hough, John L.

,pub.1047747132,10.1029/91jd03080,,,,Evaluation of a technique for satellite‐derived area estimation of forest fires,"Satellite data have been used increasingly during the past few years to examine burning around the globe. One such satellite instrument, the advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR), has been found useful for the location and monitoring of both smoke and fires because of the daily observations, the large geographical coverage of the imagery, the spectral characteristics of the instrument, and the spatial resolution of the instrument. Earlier studies using AVHRR imagery have focused on locating and monitoring fires and studying the characteristics of smoke. This paper will discuss the application of AVHRR data to assess the geographical extent of burning. Methods have been developed to estimate the surface area of burning by analyzing the surface area effected by fire with AVHRR imagery. Characteristics of the AVHRR instrument, its orbit, field of view, and archived data sets are discussed relative to the unique surface area of each pixel. The errors associated with this surface area estimation technique are determined using AVHRR‐derived area estimates of target regions with known sizes.

Both ignition (occurrence) and spread (stand replacing fire activity) of fires were strongly influenced by fuel moisture and forest cover type. Fuel moisture estimates of 13% for large (>7.6 cm) dead and downed fuels indicated a threshold below which proportionately more fire starts and increased stand replacing fire activity were observed. During periods of suitable fuel moisture conditions, fire occurrence and activity were significantly greater than expected in old-growth, mixed-canopy lodgepole pine (Pinuscontorta Dougl. var. latifolia) and Engelmann spruce–subalpine fir (Piceaengelmannii Parry–Abieslasiocarpa (Hook.) Nutt.) forest types, and significantly less than expected in the successional lodgepole pine forest types. During periods of extended low fuel moisture conditions (drought), sustained high winds significantly reduced the influence of forest cover type on stand replacing fire activity. These extreme weather conditions were observed during the later stages of the 1988 fire season, and to a lesser extent, for a short duration during the 1981 fire season. The Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugamenziesii (Mirb.) Franco) forest type typically supported little stand replacing fire activity, even though a preponderance of fire starts was observed.",,,Canadian Journal of Forest Research,,,Canadian Science Publishing,"0045-5067, 1208-6037",,1992-01-01,1992,,1992-01-01,22,1,37-45,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Renkin, Roy A.; Despain, Don G.","Renkin, Roy A.

We describe a technique to “radiometrically rectify” multiple Landsat images of a scene to a reference image, and evaluate it using a pair of Landsat 5 images acquired 2 years apart. All rectified images should appear as if they were acquired with the same sensor, while observing through the atmospheric and illumination conditions of the reference image. If atmospheric optical depth and sensor calibration date are available for the reference image, then an atmospheric correction algorithm may be used to correct all the rectified images to absolute surface reflectance. The “radiometric rectification” algorithm identifies “radiometric control sets,” i.e., sets of scene landscape elements with a mean reflectance which is expected to change little with time. The average digital count values of these radiometric control sets are used to calculate linear transforms relating digital count values between images. We evaluate the technique empirically with a pair of Landsat 5 TM images of a scene for which surface reflectance and atmospheric optical depth data are available. We also examine its performance under a wide range of atmospheric conditions using simulations based on atmospheric models. We find that the radiometric rectification algorithm performed well for the visible and near infrared bands, adjusting surface reflectance for the effects of relative atmospheric differences to within 1%. The performance is not as good for the midinfrared bands on TM. There are several possible causes for this; we could not determine which was the most important. We conclude from these studies that for scenes containing reflectance stable elements, radiometric rectification should be a useful alternative to atmospheric radiative transfer codes and sensor calibration approaches when reliable atmospheric optical depth data or calibration coefficients are not available. When atmospheric optical data and sensor calibration information are available for one of a sequence of radiometrically rectified images, an atmospheric radiative transfer code may be used to correct each image in the sequence to absolute surface reflectance.",,,Remote Sensing of Environment,,,Elsevier,"0034-4257, 1879-0704",,1991-01,1991,,1991-01,35,1,11-27,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Hall, F.G.; Strebel, D.E.; Nickeson, J.E.; Goetz, S.J.","Hall, F.G.

It serves to clear land for shifting cultivation, to convert forests to agricultural and pastoral lands, and to remove dry vegetation in order to promote agricultural productivity and the growth of higher yield grasses. Furthermore, much agricultural waste and fuel wood is being combusted, particularly in developing countries. Biomass containing 2 to 5 petagrams of carbon is burned annually (1 petagram = 10(15) grams), producing large amounts of trace gases and aerosol particles that play important roles in atmospheric chemistry and climate. Emissions of carbon monoxide and methane by biomass burning affect the oxidation efficiency of the atmosphere by reacting with hydroxyl radicals, and emissions of nitric oxide and hydrocarbons lead to high ozone concentrations in the tropics during the dry season. Large quantities of smoke particles are produced as well, and these can serve as cloud condensation nuclei. These particles may thus substantially influence cloud microphysical and optical properties, an effect that could have repercussions for the radiation budget and the hydrological cycle in the tropics. Widespread burning may also disturb biogeochemical cycles, especially that of nitrogen. About 50 percent of the nitrogen in the biomass fuel can be released as molecular nitrogen. This pyrdenitrification process causes a sizable loss of fixed nitrogen in tropical ecosystems, in the range of 10 to 20 teragrams per year (1 teragram = 10(12) grams).",,,Science,,,American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS),"0036-8075, 1095-9203",,1990-12-21,1990,,1990-12-21,250,4988,1669-1678,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Crutzen, Paul J.; Andreae, Meinrat O.","Crutzen, Paul J.

Such large burns may not have been characteristic prior to the initiation of fire suppression more than 70 years ago. To compare controlled with uncontrolled areas, wildfires of southern California and adjacent northern Baja California were evaluated for the period 1972 to 1980 from Landsat imagery. Fire size and location, vegetation, year, and season were recorded. It was found that suppression has divergent effects on different plant communities depending on successional processes, growth rates, fuel accumulation, decomposition rates, and length of flammability cycles. These variables establish feedback between the course of active fires, fire history, spatial configuration of flammable vegetation, and fire size. Suppression has minimal impact in coastal sage scrub and grassland.

,pub.1023435291,10.1007/bf00137988,,,,Estimates of gross and net fluxes of carbon between the biosphere and the atmosphere from biomass burning,"In order to estimate the production of charcoal and the atmospheric emissions of trace gases volatilized by burning we have estimated the global amounts of biomass which are affected by fires. We have roughly calculated annual gross burning rates ranging between about 5 Pg and 9 Pg (1 Pg = 1015 g) of dry matter (2–4 Pg C). In comparison, about 9–17 Pg of above-ground dry matter (4–8 Pg C) is exposed to fires, indicating a worldwide average burning efficiency of about 50%. The production of dead below-ground dry matter varies between 6–9 Pg per year. We have tentatively indicated the possibility of a large production of elemental carbon (0.5–1.7 Pg C/yr) due to the incomplete combustion of biomass to charcoal. This provides a sink for atmospheric CO2, which would have been particularly important during the past centuries. From meager statistical information and often ill-documented statements in the literature, it is extremely difficult to calculate the net carbon release rates to the atmosphere from the biomass changes which take place, especially in the tropics. All together, we calculate an overall effect lof the biosphere on the atmospheric carbon dioxide budget which may range between the possibilities of a net uptake or a net release of about 2 Pg C/yr. The release of CO2 to the atmosphere by deforestation projects may well be balanced by reforestation and by the production of charcoal. Better information is needed, however, to make these estimates more reliable.",,,Climatic Change,,,Springer Nature,"0165-0009, 1573-1480",,1980-09,1980,,1980-09,2,3,207-247,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Seiler, Wolfgang; Crutzen, Paul J.","Seiler, Wolfgang (National Center for Atmospheric Research, P.O.

,pub.1025062391,10.1007/bf02390011,,,,The evolutionary significance of fire in the mediterranean region,"Fire has played a decisive role in Post-Glacial biological and cultural evolution in the Mediterranean Region. Its evolutionary impact on plants has been manifested by feedback responses, in which the fire and its after-effects selected plants for physiological and other mechanisms that enable direct fire tolerance or permit avoidance followed by vegetative and reproductive regeneration.The dominant, sclerophyll, drought-tolerant phanerophytes of the maqui are obligatory rootsprouters, whereas the subordinate, drought-evading chamaephytes, as well as herbaceous perennials, are both vegetative and reproductive regenerators and are well adapted to new, fire-denuded habitats. Annual and perennial grass fire-followers are also able to escape high surface fire temperatures with the aid of torsion devices on seeds. Evolutionary strategies to overcome fire are closely interwoven with those against other environmental stresses such as drought and grazing. These combinations of stresses have brought about convergence in plant form and function in mediterranean climates.Fire has thus been important in the evolution of more xeric grasslands and woodlands and more mesic maqui and shrubland communities. Contrary to the present view of fire as simply destructive, both fire and grazing have favored genetical as well as ecological diversity. They should be studied as integral components of Mediterranean ecosystems and their evolution.",,,Plant Ecology,,,Springer Nature,"1385-0237, 1573-5052, 0042-3106",,1975-01,1975,,1975-01,29,3,199-208,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Naveh, Z.","Naveh, Z.

,pub.1072532800,10.4996/fireecology.0402063,,,,Responses in Bird Communities to Wildland Fires in Southern California,"There is a growing body of literature covering the responses of bird species to wildland fire events. Our study was unique among these because we investigated the effects of large-scale wildland fires on entire bird communities across multiple vegetation types. We conducted avian point counts during the breeding seasons for two years before and two years after the Cedar and Otay Fires in 2003 in southern California. Our balanced sampling effort took place at two sites, one low-elevation and one high-elevation, each containing replicate stations (burned and unburned) within five vegetation types: chaparral, coastal sage scrub, grassland, oak woodland, and riparian. Although fire caused some degree of change in the vegetation structure at all of our impacted survey points, we found that the post-fire shrub and tree cover was significantly lower in only two of the vegetation types within the low-elevation site, coastal sage scrub and chaparral. We found no significant changes in cover at the high-elevation site. Using univariate and multivariate analyses, we tested whether the fires were associated with a change in bird species diversity, community structure, and the relative abundance of individuals within a species. We found that species diversity changed in only one circumstance: it increased in coastal sage scrub at the low-elevation site. Multivariate analyses revealed significant differences in the post-fire bird community structure in the low-elevation chaparral, low-elevation coastal sage scrub, and the high-elevation grassland communities. Vegetation characteristics altered by fire, such as decreases in shrub and tree cover, influenced the changes we observed in the bird communities. The relative abundance of some species (lazuli bunting [Passerina amoena] and horned lark [Eremophila alpestris]) significantly increased after the fires, while other species declined significantly (Anna’s hummingbird [Calypte anna], wrentit [Chamaea fasciata], and bushtit [Psaltriparus minimus]). We detected mixed results for the spotted towhee (Pipilo maculatus), which increased in burned chaparral and declined in burned coastal sage scrub within the low-elevation site. We suggest that the observed responses of birds to these fires may be attributed to: (1) the availability of nearby unburned refugia, (2) the continued suitability of post-fire vegetation at the study sites, and (3) the generally high mobility of this taxon.","Special gratitude goes to M.

,pub.1151210889,10.3390/fire5050141,,,,Fire Regime Analysis in Lebanon (2001–2020): Combining Remote Sensing Data in a Scarcely Documented Area,"Fire is a recurrent disturbance in Mediterranean ecosystems. Data assemblage from forest fire services can provide useful information for understanding climate controls on daily fire hazard or long term trends. Located at the driest range of the Mediterranean bioclimate, and with contrasting socio-political systems compared to the European area, the southern Mediterranean ecosystems are subjected to more extreme climate and social events. This could potentially lead to unique fire regimes and trends worth being characterized for prevention plans and ecosystem management. However, the region is far less documented, due to missing or inhomogeneous fire records, leaving local authorities with no management strategies when large fires happen. We filled this knowledge gap for Lebanon by combining high spatial resolution Landsat data with high temporal resolution VIIRS (S-NPP and NOAA-20) and MODIS (MCD14ML) hotspots to characterize the seasonal and interannual fire regime over the 2001–2020 period. Numerous small fires were hardly detected by global remote sensing. We estimated that 2044 ha burn annually, representing 0.58% of the wildland cover, with no significant trend over the period, but with non climate-related fires detected during the year experiencing socio-political troubles. The spatial and temporal resolution of this dataset identified a particular prolonged fire season up to November, and an unusual bimodal fire season peaking in July and November. We related these features to the prolonged autumnal soil drought and high August air humidity in the region. This updated fire regime in Lebanon illustrates the benefits of this combined approach for data-scarce regions and provides new insights on the variability of fire weather types in the Mediterranean basin.","Landsat data were freely obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

In this study, we investigated the occurrence of naturally soil-inhabiting entomopathogenic fungi for their role in containing the massive outbreak of this insect. We used a combination of fungal bioexploration methods, including insect bait and selective media. Morphological features and multilocus phylogeny-based on Sanger sequencing of the transcripts encoding the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF-α), RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RBP2), and the nuclear intergenic region (Bloc) were used for species identification. The occurrence rate of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) varied with location, soil structure, forest structure, and isolation method. From 15 soil samples positive for fungal occurrence, a total of 249 isolates was obtained from all locations using different isolation methods. The phylogenetic analysis confirmed the existence of two novel indigenous species: Beauveria tannourinensis sp. nov. and Beauveria ehdenensis sp. nov. In conclusion, the present survey was successful (1) in optimizing the isolation methods for EPF, (2) investigating the natural occurrence of Beauveria spp. in outbreak areas of C. tannourinensis, and (3) in characterizing the presence of new Beauveria species in Lebanese cedar forest soil.",The authors would like to thank Stephen Rehner for his insightful comments regarding the phylogenetic placement of Beauveria.

,pub.1140735148,10.3390/f12091167,,,,Potential Factors behind the Decline of Pinus pinea Nut Production in Mediterranean Pine Forests,"Mediterranean stone pine nut is appreciated for its high economic and nutritional value. Starting in 2012, Pinus pinea nut production declined throughout the Mediterranean area. The dry cone syndrome associated with this decline and the introduction of Leptoglossus occidentalis occurred simultaneously. This study aims to evaluate potential reasons behind the decline in pine nut production in Lebanon, considering climatic factors and the invasion of L. occidentalis. Correlation analysis was used to examine a potential relationship between cone yield and the percentage of damaged seeds per cone. Climatic variables were also tested. Two time periods were considered for analysis: before and after 2012. Cone production and the percentage of damaged seeds were negatively correlated (r = −0.42). From 2012 to 2017, cone production declined by 50% and the percentage of damaged seeds increased on average from 3% in 2012 up to 60% in 2017. Correlations were detected between cone production and the temperature of the hottest three months of the year of harvesting, and between cone production and average temperatures during the year of cone initiation. A conjunction of factors that include L. occidentalis and climatic factors might have affected the pine nut production in Lebanon.","The authors would like to acknowledge the National Council for Scientific Research in Lebanon (CNRS-L) for granting a doctoral fellowship to Yara El Khoury and a grant research fund for this project.

Moreover, policymakers are interested in understanding the factors that have a significant impact on land use change. This paper analyses the dynamics of land use change in Lebanon between the years 1984 and 2019 and identifies the main factors behind this process. The use of LandSat satellite images enables the creation of land use maps at several periods and the monitoring of the evolution of built up areas as well as of green areas. Five periods emerge from this analysis, for which it is possible to propose explanatory factors, after an in-depth qualitative analysis. Within the framework of Structural Equation Models, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis is carried out to determine the impacts of several factors related to governance and financial data. Moreover, the urban sprawl is further investigated and explained by cultural, environmental, and infrastructural factors. The main results reveal that the development of built up areas is highly dependent on good funding conditions, whereas banking conditions and weak governance are correlated. The case of Lebanon presents specificities probably linked to historical and cultural considerations that deserve to be studied in future works. In the form of recommendations, new land use policies should be enacted to ensure sustainability in the form of an equilibrium between the urban development, from one side, and the preservation of natural resources and good environmental conditions on the other side. This could comprise the preservation of natural zones; the subsidization of the cultivation profession; and the encouragement of urban densification instead of horizontal sprawl.",,,Discover Applied Sciences,,,Springer Nature,"2523-3963, 3004-9261, 2523-3971",,2021-05-30,2021,2021-05-30,2021-06,3,6,677,All OA; Gold,Article,Research Article,"Al-Shaar, Walid; Bonin, Olivier","Al-Shaar, Walid (Civil Engineering Department, Doctoral School for Science and Technology, Lebanese University, Badaro, Museum, P.O.

Due to the sloping terrain of Lebanon; however, it was estimated that more than 75% of water from rivers is unexploited it mainly outlets into the sea. The majority of water use from the Lebanese rivers implies domestic, agriculture, as well as some other rivers are used for hydro-power generation where they contribute by about 20% of electricity needed for Lebanon.

The specific objectives were to (1) assess the visual impact of quarries and CDW dumpsites at the landscape level and (2) investigate the effect of land conversion to quarries and CDW dumpsites on water runoff volume. The methodology of work involved digitization of individual quarries and CDW dumpsites using very high-resolution satellite imagery. The volume of exploited material was estimated with the use of a Digital Elevation Model. Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis was employed to assess the state of soil cover on identified sites. Visual impact maps were developed using Geographic Information System analysis. The Natural Resource Conservation Service-Curve Number model was adopted to estimate changes in volume of annual surface water runoff. The assessment resulted in mapping individual quarries (i.e., 1,425 quarries over an area of 61,723,800 m2) and CDW dumpsites (i.e., 219 dumpsites over an area of 5,012,100 m2) showing (1) low to complete absence of vegetation recovery on identified sites, (2) improper location of quarries and large extent of visually polluted landscape and (3) increase in surface water runoff. This work demonstrated the ability of using an operational tool to spatially characterize quarries and CDW dumpsites and their impacts on the landscape in the absence of extensive site-specific datasets. The transferability and replicability of this tool count on systematic use of the investigated geospatial techniques.","The authors are grateful to Antoine Atallah for sharing data on quarries in Lebanon.

The role of land abandonment in modifying disturbance regimes has been highlighted for some types of disturbances, albeit being still somewhat overlooked compared to climate change.ObjectivesThis literature review is aimed at highlighting the most relevant effects of land abandonment and land-use legacy on the regime of different types of forest disturbances, providing insight into land-use change/disturbances interactions.MethodsWe searched in the Scopus and Web of Science databases for relevant studies at the global scale dealing with eight major natural disturbances: avalanche, flooding, herbivory, insect outbreak, landslide, rockfall, wildfire and windthrow. We classified papers into five relevance classes, with the highest score (4) assigned to studies quantitatively measuring the interactions between abandonment dynamics and disturbance regimes.ResultsMost papers focused on wildfires in Mediterranean Europe in the twentieth century, where landscape homogenisation and fuel build-up contributed to worsening their frequency, size and severity. Dense forests developed following land abandonment instead exert inhibiting effects toward mass movements such as avalanches, rockfalls and landslides. Regarding the other investigated disturbances, we found only a few studies presenting site-specific and partly contrasting effects.ConclusionsLand abandonment triggers ecological processes at the landscape scale, altering land cover patterns and vegetation communities, which in turn affect disturbance regimes. Implications for land and resource management mostly depend on the stage at which post-abandonment secondary succession has developed.",,Open access funding provided by Università degli Studi di Torino within the CRUI-CARE Agreement.,Landscape Ecology,,,Springer Nature,"0921-2973, 1572-9761",,2020-11-01,2020,2020-11-01,2020-12,35,12,2723-2744,All OA; Gold,Article,Review Article,"Mantero, Giulia; Morresi, Donato; Marzano, Raffaella; Motta, Renzo; Mladenoff, David J.; Garbarino, Matteo","Mantero, Giulia (Department of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences, University of Torino, Largo Braccini 2, 10095, Grugliasco, TO, Italy); Morresi, Donato (Department of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences, University of Torino, Largo Braccini 2, 10095, Grugliasco, TO, Italy); Marzano, Raffaella (Department of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences, University of Torino, Largo Braccini 2, 10095, Grugliasco, TO, Italy); Motta, Renzo (Department of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences, University of Torino, Largo Braccini 2, 10095, Grugliasco, TO, Italy); Mladenoff, David J.

The study was conducted on 250 Nile tilapia. Ten fish were used to isolate the probiotic strain. Two isolates showed an in vitro inhibitory effect against pathogenic A. hydrophila. The isolate with the largest zone was identified by PCR. Sixty fish were used to test the safety of a potential probiotic. One hundred and eighty fish were used in a two-month feeding experiment. Fish were divided into 3 groups, group (1): the control, group (2): fed on potential probiotics, and group (3): fed on commercial probiotic (Organic Green™). The effects of tested products on the immune response were recorded in all groups. After one and two months of feeding experiment, blood and nonspecific immune parameters were evaluated. Disease resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila was evaluated through challenge experiment. The histopathology of the treated groups was fully recorded in comparison with the control group. The potential probiotic based on the in vitro antimicrobial activity test was identified as P. putida using routine and gel electrophoresis and 16S rRNA sequencing. During the first and the second month of experiment, there was a highly significant increase in the survival percent of the experimental fish in both treated groups with probiotics. In the first phase of the experiment, a significant increase in the haematocrit values and NBT, lysozyme activity, and phagocytic activity was seen in all treated groups in comparison with the control. The increase in the TLC was significant in the group fed with P. putida in comparison with the control group. In the second phase, a nonsignificant increase in the hematocrit values and significant increases in the NBT and phagocytic index were seen in P. putida and organic green groups in comparison with the control group. The TLC and DLC revealed nonsignificant changes in the treated groups in comparison with the control. The RLP in the groups treated with P. putida was higher than that in those treated with organic green. Although probiotics are an important management tool in aquaculture, it should be subjected to scientific laboratory tests and field measurements.","Conflicts of Interest The author declares no significant conflicts of interest.

The study aims at valuating old reforested sites from the perspective of rural communities neighboring those reforested stands.
                  
                  
                    Design/methodology/approach
                    To assess the non-timber goods and services provided by these forest ecosystems, 13 reforested sites located in different regions in Lebanon were selected. The socioeconomic assessment was done using questionnaires distributed to locals that have close interactions with the neighboring forests; it included, among others, a double-bonded dichotomous contingent valuation (CV) related to their willingness to pay (WTP) for reforestation and forest management activities.
                  
                  
                    Findings
                    Results of the goods and services assessment revealed that the forests have multifunctional uses with ecotourism as a major activity in all forest types. The CV showed that 75% of respondents did express a WTP. Most of the respondents did so, thus giving a great importance to intrinsic values of the forests. Lower income did not negatively affect the WTP of respondents but rather age and the educational level did. Other factors such as forest type, forest surface and the biodiversity status of the sites did not have an impact on WTP.
                  
                  
                    Practical implications
                    These results are very informative for governmental policies seeking funds to perform reforestation programs for environmental objectives, involving local communities in co-funding these programs would help insure the sustainable conservation of reforestation sites.
                  
                  
                    Social implications
                    Despite their relative low income, poor communities are willing to pay to sustain forests and their ecosystem services.
                  
                  
                    Originality/value
                    It is the first time that a CV is used for ecosystem services regenerated from 50–60 years old reforested sites in a semiarid region, where trees are not planted for timber production. It is one of the few examples were lower income did not affect the WTP for forests providing environmental services on communal lands.","This work was supported by the Association for Forests, Development and Conservation (AFDC) through assistance in the field survey and in the selection of the forested sites.

,pub.1122313871,10.1088/1748-9326/ab541e,,,,Wildfire management in Mediterranean-type regions: paradigm change needed,"During the last decades, climate and land use changes led to an increased prevalence of megafires in Mediterranean-type climate regions (MCRs). Here, we argue that current wildfire management policies in MCRs are destined to fail. Focused on fire suppression, these policies largely ignore ongoing climate warming and landscape-scale buildup of fuels. The result is a firefighting trap that contributes to ongoing fuel accumulation precluding suppression under extreme fire weather, and resulting in more severe and larger fires. We believe that a business as usual approach to wildfire in MCRs will not solve the fire problem, and recommend that policy and expenditures be rebalanced between suppression and mitigation of the negative impacts of fire. This requires a paradigm shift: policy effectiveness should not be primarily measured as a function of area burned (as it usually is), but rather as a function of avoided socio-ecological damage and loss.","This work was financed by national funds through FCTFoundation for Science and Technology, within the scope of project PCIF/AGT/0136/2017 (People&amp;Fire: reducing risk, living with risk) and PTDC/AGR-FOR/2586/2014 (RurIntFIre: Fire in the Rural-Urban Interface: characterisation, risk mapping, and fuel break design).

Despite the doubts ambiguity, ecotourism is closely related to sustainability. This paper aims to study the contribution of ecotourism to sustainable development in Lebanon from a market perspective. In order to assess the level of understanding of the ecotourism concept by the Lebanese nature-based tour operators and their contribution to sustainable development, field data related to their profile and practices was collected using a survey administered to 50 operators. The main findings showed that their compliance with the international ecotourism principles and guidelines is weak and that they have a low level of specialization. However, despite this fact, ecotourism is trending in Lebanon and is providing rural areas with some economic benefits and opportunities without having a comprehensive contribution to ecological conservation and cultural preservation.

Rich) in Tannourine Cedar Forest Reserve (Lebanon) affected by cedar web-spinning sawfly (Cephalcia tannourinensis, Hymenoptera: Pamphiliidae)","Abstract: The analysis of forest structure is a useful tool to understand stand biodiversity characterizing forest ecosystems, and could help in suggesting appropriate management plans. Cedar forests in Lebanon are remnant patches that survived past human activities but are still threatened by other different anthropogenic and natural disturbances. Among these threats, the cedar web-spinning sawfly (Cephalcia tannourinensis) discovered in Tannourine Cedar Forest Nature Reserve in 1997, which is able to cause the death of trees. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of this pest on the stand structure and regeneration of Cedrus libani in Tannourine Cedar Forest Nature Reserve located in North Lebanon. The dependence of stand structural attributes (diameter at breast height, total height and basal area) on the presence of infestation by the cedar web-spinning sawfly was identified using the Student’s t-test. The Ripley’s K(d) function was used to analyse the spatial pattern of cedar stands. In addition, the diameter, the vertical structure and the crown projection were characterized using the Weibull function and graphic representations. The results showed that stand structure and regeneration are significantly different between infested and non-infested stands. The cedar of Lebanon remains as the dominant species, with abundant young individuals and a good regeneration status (c = 1.0). The analysis of the spatial pattern showed a positive spatial relationship between mature Lebanese cedar trees as well as between mature and juvenile cedars, with a bigger aggregation in infested plots (6 to 10 meters) than in non-infested quadrates (2 to 7 meters), reflecting the impact of the cedar web-spinning sawfly on the stand structure and regeneration of Cedrus libani stands.",,,iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry,,,Italian Society of Sivilculture and Forest Ecology (SISEF),1971-7458,,2018-04-30,2018,2018-04-30,,11,2,300,All OA; Gold,Article,Research Article,"Bassil, S; Kattar, S; Navarro-Cerrillo, RM; Poyatos, M Navarrete; Nemer, N; Rodríguez, G Palacios","Bassil, S (); Kattar, S (); Navarro-Cerrillo, RM (); Poyatos, M Navarrete (); Nemer, N (); Rodríguez, G Palacios ()",,"Bassil, S (); Kattar, S (); Navarro-Cerrillo, RM (); Poyatos, M Navarrete (); Nemer, N (); Rodríguez, G Palacios ()",,,,,,,,,,,5,0,,0.89,3,https://iforest.sisef.org/pdf/?id=ifor2502-011,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1108391984,"30 Agricultural, Veterinary and Food Sciences; 3007 Forestry Sciences",,,,,,"A03 Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy",15 Life on Land,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,

Le tourisme local représente un outil important pour générer des revenus au profit des communautés rurales. En revanche, la mauvaise planification et la gestion inefficace peuvent parfois conduire à des résultats indésirables au niveau des destinations rurales, ce qui nuit au patrimoine naturel et culturel.

(Kermes oak) is an evergreen oak, typical of the maquis in the eastern and south-eastern part of the Mediterranean. It occurs almost continuously along the Syrian–Lebanese coast up to 1500 m and is more scattered inland, up to the arid southernmost area of Petra in Jordan. Human impact and global warming both strongly affect the natural distribution of the species, thus leading to a widespread forest fragmentation in the whole region. In this study, we investigate the current bioclimatic range of Kermes oak and forecast which areas are potentially most suitable over the course of the twenty-first century. Ecological niche modelling was used to retrieve the environmental envelope of the species according to 23 topographic and climate variables. Five algorithms and three general circulation models were applied to provide the potential distribution of Kermes oak at the present time and project it to the future. Results showed a current suitability area in the Middle East extending from NW of Syria, rather continuously along the Lebanese coasts and inland up to the Mediterranean western slopes of Palestine and the Golan area (Israel), encompassing the Jordan Valley towards Dana and Wadi Rum (Jordan), with an isolated patch in Jabal Al-Arab (South Syria). Future scenarios depict a significant fragmentation and restriction of Kermes oak range, especially in the north of Syria and Golan, with a general shifting in altitude. This information may be useful in helping the foresters to cope with the challenge of climate changes by identifying the most suitable areas climatically effective for successful ecosystem restoration and management, including reforestation programmes.","We are thankful to the Institutions and persons who provided the presence data points of Q. coccifera in the Levant, namely: Prof. Magda Bou Dagher Kharrat (Saint Joseph University, Beirut, Lebanon), Lebanon Reforestation Initiative (LRI, http://lri-lb.org/), Israel Biodiversity Information System (http://www.biogis.huji.ac.il) for the online dataset freely available on species distributions in Israel, Prof. Mutaz Al-Qutob, Prof. Khalid Sawalha and Prof. Jihad Abbadi (Al-Quds University of Jerusalem, State of Palestine).

,pub.1046948025,10.1016/j.ecoinf.2016.02.003,,,,Towards an establishment of a wildfire risk system in a Mediterranean country,"Wildfire is one of many natural hazards affecting the Mediterranean basin; its consequences could be fatal for individuals and beyond repair for the environment. While factors worldwide included in a fire ignition are unstandardized, in this paper, we built a model from literature-cited factors – fourteen elements were included – to highlight the probability of wildfires' occurrence in the Lebanese forest. It was named Three-Type Model (TTM), where forests were classified into three types: pine, oak and mixed. Validations have been conducted by using thirty percent of datasets versus the other seventy percent; then, by comparing its accuracy to another model that study the forest as one unit only. Accuracy assessment of the model reached above 83%, and it could be portable to other Mediterranean-climate forests.In addition, we produced a wildfire risk map by combining fire ignition-related factors with vulnerability-related variables. Results show that 15.9% of the Lebanese regions and 43.46% of the total amount of wildfires are human-induced wildfires. The majority of human-induced wildfires exists in a medium to high wildfire-ignition probabilities classes and in oak forests, representing approximately 93 and 83% of these wildfires, respectively. We concluded as well that only 1.6% of the Lebanese forest is at high risk of wildfire ignition. The implementation of our methodology in different Mediterranean countries is easy and straightforward, mainly because of the reduction of the ignition parameters as well as the usage of remote sensing datasets.

The specific objectives were (1) to determine the start, peak and end dates of the fire season and their temporal changes throughout the years, and (2) to evaluate corresponding weather variability and its relationship to changes in fire occurrence and seasonality. First, fire seasonality was determined using fire occurrence data from 2001 to 2011. Second, the de-trended mean monthly weather variables were studied for correlation with fire occurrence between the earliest starting month and the latest ending month of the determined fire seasons. The results showed that the average length of the fire season was 146.6 days, the average start date was 14 June, and the average end date was 12 November. Fire occurrence was positively correlated with mean monthly temperatures and negatively correlated with mean monthly precipitation and mean monthly wind speed. The length of the fire season was negatively correlated with mean annual precipitation. In addition, an increasing fire occurrence risk was observed in association with high maximum temperatures and long dry seasons.",,,International Journal of Wildland Fire,,,CSIRO Publishing,"1049-8001, 1448-5516",,2014-05-13,2014,2014-05-13,2014,23,4,503-509,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Salloum, Liliane; Mitri, George","Salloum, Liliane (Department of Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, University of Balamand, PO Box 100, Tripoli, Lebanon); Mitri, George (Department of Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, University of Balamand, PO Box 100, Tripoli, Lebanon; Biodiversity Program, Institute of the Environment, University of Balamand, Kelhat, El Koura, PO Box 100, Tripoli, Lebanon)",,"Salloum, Liliane (University of Balamand); Mitri, George (University of Balamand; University of Balamand)",University of Balamand,grid.33070.37,Tripoli,,Lebanon,,,,,,12,4,,1.77,3,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1018863982,"30 Agricultural, Veterinary and Food Sciences; 3007 Forestry Sciences; 41 Environmental Sciences; 4104 Environmental Management; 44 Human Society; 4406 Human Geography",,,,,,C14 Geography and Environmental Studies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,
,pub.1026717184,10.1002/ldr.1011,,,,Environmental impact of quarries on natural resources in Lebanon,"Abstract Years of unregulated mining activity have left hundreds of abandoned quarries across Lebanon. Satellite images show that the number of quarries and areas they cover increased, from 784 quarries covering 2897 ha in 1989, to 1278 quarries covering 5267 ha in 2005. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to assess the impact of quarrying activities on scarce Eastern Mediterranean natural resources. The assessment is based on the computation of spatial indicators such as rainfall, slope gradient, vegetation cover, soil erosion risk, and rock infiltration, using GIS to appraise critical impacts on the Lebanese ecosystem. Compared with the 1989 baseline, the area consumed by quarries in 2005 increased more than three times over former arable lands, one third for forest lands and doubled for pasture lands. Quarries additionally destroyed 676, 137, and 737 ha of productive lands, respectively. The comparison of quarry distribution with the land capability map revealed that quarries are found mainly on productive soils, consuming 1314 ha in 1989 and 2192 ha in 2005 of prime lands. A total of 87 per cent of studied quarries represent serious hazards to groundwater quality. In general, a total of 272 quarries have high impact, 657 quarries have moderate impact, and 349 quarries have low impact on natural ecosystems. Analyzed data revealed that around 62 per cent of the quarries are located in a highly unsuitable environment. This paper presents recent findings from the Eastern Mediterranean for territorial suitability assessment of quarries to be considered in the frame of natural resources and coastal ecosystems management.

Participants were 660 grade 10 and grade 11 students. They were administered a questionnaire to assess their environmental knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, affect, and intentions, and commitment to environmental friendly behaviors. Results showed that participants had favorable attitudes toward the environment but lacked in their environmental knowledge. Environmental knowledge was significantly related to parental education level, and to participants' environmental attitude, beliefs, affect, and behavioral commitments. These correlations, however, were low ( r =.17 to .33) indicating a definite but rather small relationship between these variables. By comparison, participants' scores on the behavior subscale were significantly and substantially correlated with their environmental affect ( r =.45) and intentions ( r =.46) suggesting that environmental intentions and affect might serve as good predictors of commitment to environmental friendly behavior.",,,Environmental Education Research,,,Taylor & Francis,"1350-4622, 1469-5871",,2003-02,2003,2010-07,2003-02,9,1,21-33,Closed,Article,Research Article,"MAKKI, MAHA HAIDAR; ABD-EL-KHALICK, FOUAD; BOUJAOUDE, SAOUMA","MAKKI, MAHA HAIDAR (American University of Beirut, Lebanon); ABD-EL-KHALICK, FOUAD (Lebanon University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA); BOUJAOUDE, SAOUMA (American University of Beirut, Lebanon)",,"MAKKI, MAHA HAIDAR (American University of Beirut); ABD-EL-KHALICK, FOUAD (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign); BOUJAOUDE, SAOUMA (American University of Beirut)",American University of Beirut; University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign,grid.22903.3a; grid.35403.31,Beirut; Urbana,; Illinois,Lebanon; United States,,,,,,0,0,,,,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1021669174,39 Education; 3901 Curriculum and Pedagogy; 41 Environmental Sciences; 4104 Environmental Management,Basic Behavioral and Social Science; Behavioral and Social Science; Clinical Research,,,,,"A03 Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,
,pub.1021819037,10.1038/35002501,10706275,,,Biodiversity hotspots for conservation priorities,"Conservationists are far from able to assist all species under threat, if only for lack of funding. This places a premium on priorities: how can we support the most species at the least cost? One way is to identify ‘biodiversity hotspots’ where exceptional concentrations of endemic species are undergoing exceptional loss of habitat. As many as 44% of all species of vascular plants and 35% of all species in four vertebrate groups are confined to 25 hotspots comprising only 1.4% of the land surface of the Earth. This opens the way for a ‘silver bullet’ strategy on the part of conservation planners, focusing on these hotspots in proportion to their share of the world's species at risk.","We thank P. Robles Gil of Agrupacion Sierra Madre and the scientists listed in Supplementary Information for their help with information and analysis; P. Chambers, S. Norris and M. Prescott for research help; and D. Duthie and J. McNeely for comments on an early draft. We also thank the Mexican company CEMEX for its major financial support, and the MacArthur Foundation and S. Concannon for additional support.","Since the original hotspots strategy5,6 began to be implemented in 1989, some $400 million has been invested by the MacArthur Foundation, the W. Alton Jones Foundation, Conservation International, the World Wildlife Fund and other non-governmental organizations. An annual average of $40 million over 10 years is only a tiny fraction of the amount spent per year on biodiversity conservation by governments and international agencies, these funds being assigned mainly to across-the-board activities rather than the concentrated efforts advocated here. The traditional scattergun approach of much conservation activity, seeking to be many things to many threatened species, needs to be complemented by a ‘silver bullet’ strategy in the form of hotspots with their emphasis on cost-effective measures. We could go far towards safeguarding the hotspots and thus a large proportion of all species at risk for an average of $20 million per hotspot per year over the next five years, or $500 million annually. Although this is 12.5 times the annual average of the $400 million spent on hotspots over the past decade, it is still only twice the cost of a single Pathfinder mission to Mars, which has been justified largely on biodiversity grounds (the search for extraterrestrial life). The $500 million annually is to be compared, moreover, with a recent estimate47 for a comprehensive conservation programme to protect biodiversity world-wide costing $300 billion annually—a total that should, in turn, be compared with subsidies of various sorts that degrade environments and economies alike, amounting to $1.5 trillion annually world-wide48. Finally, recall that the mass extinction of species, if allowed to persist, would constitute a problem with far more enduring impact than any other environmental problem. According to evidence from mass extinctions in the prehistoric past, evolutionary processes would not generate a replacement stock of species within less than several million years. What we do (or do not do) within the next few decades will determine the long-term future of a vital feature of the biosphere, its abundance and diversity of species. This expanded hotspots strategy offers a large step toward avoiding an impoverishment of the Earth lasting many times longer than Homo sapiens has been a species.",Nature,,,Springer Nature,"0028-0836, 1476-4687",Animals; Conservation of Natural Resources; Ecosystem; Plants; Research Support as Topic,2000-02,2000,,2000-02,403,6772,853-858,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Myers, Norman; Mittermeier, Russell A.; Mittermeier, Cristina G.; da Fonseca, Gustavo A.

We employ a brute-force zero-out sensitivity method to estimate the impact of wildland fire emissions on air quality across the contiguous US using the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modelling system. These simulations are designed to assess the importance of wildland fire emissions on CMAQ model performance and are not intended for regulatory assessments. CMAQ ver. 5.0.1 estimated that fires contributed 11% to the mean PM2.5 and less than 1% to the mean O3 concentrations during 2008-2012. Adding fires to CMAQ increases the number of 'grid-cell days' with PM2.5 above 35 μg m-3 by a factor of 4 and the number of grid-cell days with maximum daily 8-h average O3 above 70 ppb by 14%. Although CMAQ simulations of specific fires have improved with the latest model version (e.g. for the 2008 California wildfire episode, the correlation r = 0.82 with CMAQ ver. 5.0.1 v. r = 0.68 for CMAQ ver. 4.7.1), the model still exhibits a low bias at higher observed concentrations and a high bias at lower observed concentrations. Given the large impact of wildland fire emissions on simulated concentrations of elevated PM2.5 and O3, improvements are recommended on how these emissions are characterised and distributed vertically in the model.","We thank Shawn Roselle, Namdi Brandon, Ashley Anderson, Homaira Sharif, Kirk Baker, Patrick Dolwick, Norm Possiel and Patrick Campbell for their valuable contributions and comments.

Population health studies indicate that wildfire smoke is a risk to human health and increases the healthcare burden of smoke-impacted areas. However, wildfire smoke composition is complex and dynamic, making characterization and modeling difficult. Furthermore, current efforts to study the effect of wildfire smoke are limited by availability of air quality measures and inconsistent air quality reporting among researchers. To help address these issues, we conducted a substantive review of wildfire smoke effects on population health, wildfire smoke exposure in occupational health, and experimental wood smoke exposure. Our goal was to evaluate the current literature on wildfire smoke and highlight important gaps in research. In particular we emphasize long-term health effects of wildfire smoke, recovery following wildfire smoke exposure, and health consequences of exposure in children.","AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by California Air Resources Board Agreement#10-303, National Institute of HealthP51OD011107 and T32HL007013.",,Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology,,,Elsevier,"1382-6689, 1872-7077",Adult; Air Pollutants; Animals; Biomedical Research; Child; Environmental Exposure; Female; Humans; Male; Public Health; Smoke; Wildfires,2017-08-30,2017,2017-08-30,2017-10,55,,186-195,All OA; Green,Article,Review Article,"Black, Carolyn; Tesfaigzi, Yohannes; Bassein, Jed A.; Miller, Lisa A.","Black, Carolyn (California National Primate Research Center, United States); Tesfaigzi, Yohannes (Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute, Albuquerque, NM, United States); Bassein, Jed A.

As part of an effort to characterize health risks of breathing this smoke, a review of the literature was conducted using five major databases, including PubMed and MEDLINE Web of Knowledge, to identify smoke components that present the highest hazard potential, the mechanisms of toxicity, review epidemiological studies for health effects and identify the current gap in knowledge on the health impacts of wildland fire smoke exposure. Respiratory events measured in time series studies as incidences of disease-caused mortality, hospital admissions, emergency room visits and symptoms in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients are the health effects that are most commonly associated with community level exposure to wildland fire smoke. A few recent studies have also determined associations between acute wildland fire smoke exposure and cardiovascular health end-points. These cardiopulmonary effects were mostly observed in association with ambient air concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). However, research on the health effects of this mixture is currently limited. The health effects of acute exposures beyond susceptible populations and the effects of chronic exposures experienced by the wildland firefighter are largely unknown. Longitudinal studies of wildland firefighters during and/or after the firefighting career could help elucidate some of the unknown health impacts of cumulative exposure to wildland fire smoke, establish occupational exposure limits and help determine the types of exposure controls that may be applicable to the occupation.","The authors would like to acknowledge Guannan Huang and Nicole Nation of the Department of Environmental Science, University of Georgia for their literature search assistance.",,Inhalation Toxicology,,,Taylor & Francis,"0895-8378, 1091-7691",Air Pollution; Environmental Exposure; Fires; Forests; Humans; Plants; Smoke; Wood,2016-02-23,2016,2016-02-26,2016-02-23,28,3,95-139,Closed,Article,Review Article,"Adetona, Olorunfemi; Reinhardt, Timothy E.; Domitrovich, Joe; Broyles, George; Adetona, Anna M.; Kleinman, Michael T.; Ottmar, Roger D.; Naeher, Luke P.","Adetona, Olorunfemi (Department of Environmental Health Science, College of Public Health, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA,; Division of Environmental Health Sciences, College of Public Health, the Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA,); Reinhardt, Timothy E.

Here we addressed how climate affects fuel moisture in pine stands from Catalonia, NE Spain, and the potential effects of increasing climate aridity on burned area in the Pyrenees, a mesic mountainous area where fire is currently rare. We first quantified variation in fuel moisture in six sites distributed across an altitudinal gradient where the long-term mean annual temperature and precipitation vary by 6-15 °C and 395-933 mm, respectively. We observed significant spatial variation in live (78-162%) and dead (10-15%) fuel moisture across sites. The pattern of variation was negatively linked (r = |0.6|-|0.9|) to increases in vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and in the Aridity Index. Using seasonal fire records over 2006-2020, we observed that summer burned area in the Mediterranean forests of Northeast Spain and Southern France was strongly dependent on VPD (r = 0.93), the major driver (and predictor) of dead fuel moisture content (DFMC) at our sites. Based on the difference between VPD thresholds associated with large wildfire seasons in the Mediterranean (3.6 kPa) and the maximum VPD observed in surrounding Pyrenean mountains (3.1 kPa), we quantified the ""safety margin"" for Pyrenean forests (difference between actual VPD and that associated with large wildfires) at 0.5 kPa. The effects of live fuel moisture content (LFMC) on burned area were not significant under current conditions, a situation that may change with projected increases in climate aridity.

Smoke from these fires greatly impacted the region and exposure to this smoke was significant. A bidirectional case-crossover design was applied to assess the relationship between PM2.5 (a surrogate for wildfire smoke) exposure and respiratory- and cardiovascular-related emergency department (ED) visits in Western North Carolina during these events. For 0-, 3-, and 7-day lags, findings indicated a significant increase in the odds of being admitted to the ED for a respiratory (ORs: 1.055, 95% CI: 1.048-1.063; 1.083, 1.074-1.092; 1.066, 1.058-1.074; respectively) or cardiovascular event (ORs: 1.052, 95% CI: 1.045-1.060; 1.074, 1.066-1.081; 1.067, 1.060-1.075; respectively) for every 5 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 over a chosen cutpoint of 20.4 μg/m3. For all endpoints assessed except for emphysema, there were statistically significant increases in odds from 5.1% to 8.3%. In general, this increase was most pronounced 3 days after exposure. Additionally, individuals aged 55+ generally experience higher odds of heart disease at the 3- and 7-day lag points, and Black/African Americans generally experience higher odds of asthma at the 3-day lag point. In general, larger fires and increased numbers of fires within counties resulted in higher health burden at same day exposure. In a secondary analysis, the odds of an ED visit increased by over 40% in several cases among people exposed to days above the Environmental Protection Agency 24-hr PM2.5 standard of 35 μg/m3. Our findings provide new understanding on the health impacts of wildfires on rural populations in the southeastern US.","Acknowledgments This study was supported in part by a Grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Program Office Climate Adaptation Partnerships program (NA21OAR4310312) (Dr. Runkle, Reed, C) and through the Cooperative Institute for Satellite Earth Systems under Cooperative Agreement (NA19NES4320002) (Dr. Runkle).

We examined associations between smoke events and emergency department visits (EDVs) for respiratory, cardiovascular, diabetes, and mental health outcomes in California during the wildfire season June-December 2016-2019. Daily, zip code tabulation area-level wildfire-specific fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations were aggregated to air basins. A ""smoke event"" was defined as an air basin-day with a wildfire-specific PM2.5 concentration at or above the 98th percentile across all air basin-days (threshold = 13.5 μg/m3). We conducted a two-stage time-series analysis using quasi-Poisson regression considering lag effects and random effects meta-analysis. We also conducted analyses stratified by race/ethnicity, age, and sex to assess potential effect modification. Smoke events were associated with an increased risk of EDVs for all respiratory diseases at lag 1 [14.4%, 95% confidence interval (CI): (6.8, 22.5)], asthma at lag 0 [57.1% (44.5, 70.8)], and chronic lower respiratory disease at lag 0 [12.7% (6.2, 19.6)]. We also found positive associations with EDVs for all cardiovascular diseases at lag 10. Mixed results were observed for mental health outcomes. Stratified results revealed potential disparities by race/ethnicity. Short-term exposure to smoke events was associated with increased respiratory and schizophrenia EDVs. Cardiovascular impacts may be delayed compared to respiratory outcomes.","Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.

CDC used National Syndromic Surveillance Program data to assess numbers and percentages of asthma-associated emergency department (ED) visits on days with wildfire smoke, compared with days without wildfire smoke. Wildfire smoke days were defined as days when concentrations of particulate matter (particles generally ≤2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter) (PM2.5) triggered an Air Quality Index ≥101, corresponding to the air quality categorization, ""Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups."" Changes in asthma-associated ED visits were assessed across U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regions and by age. Overall, asthma-associated ED visits were 17% higher than expected during the 19 days with wildfire smoke that occurred during the study period; larger increases were observed in regions that experienced higher numbers of continuous wildfire smoke days and among persons aged 5-17 and 18-64 years.

We sought to characterize heat exposure on days before, and days of, occupational HRIs.
METHODS: A total of 1241 Washington State workers' compensation State Fund HRI claims from 2006 to 2021 were linked with modeled parameter-elevation regressions on independent slopes model (PRISM) meteorological data. We determined location-specific maximum temperatures (Tmax,PRISM ) on the day of illness (DOI) and prior days, and whether the Tmax,PRISM was ≥10.0°F (~5.6°C) higher than the average of past 5 days (""sudden increase"") for each HRI claim. Claims occurring on days with ≥10 HRI claims (""clusters"") were compared with ""non-cluster"" claims using t tests and χ2 tests.
RESULTS: Seventy-six percent of analyzed HRI claims occurred on days with a Tmax,PRISM  ≥ 80°F. Claims occurring on ""cluster"" days, compared to ""non-cluster"" days, had both a significantly higher mean DOI Tmax,PRISM (99.3°F vs. 85.8°F [37.4°C vs. 29.9°C], t(148) = -18, p < 0.001) and a higher proportion of ""sudden increase"" claims (80.2% vs. 24.3%, χ2 [1] = 132.9, p < 0.001). Compared to ""cluster"" days, HRI claims occurring during the 2021 Pacific Northwest ""heat dome"" had a similar increased trajectory of mean Tmax,PRISM on the days before the DOI, but with higher mean Tmax,PRISM. CONCLUSIONS: Occupational HRI risk assessments should consider both current temperatures and changes in temperatures relative to prior days. Heat prevention programs should include provisions to address acclimatization and, when increases in temperature occur too quickly to allow for sufficient acclimatization, additional precautions.","ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors would like to thank Amanda Robinson for her assistance with the manual claims review, Jihoon Jung and Danièle Todorov for their assistance with geographic information systems and PRISM data linkage methods, and Nayak Polissar and Nirnaya Mil for their consultation on statistical methods.

,pub.1154855830,10.3390/w15030469,,,,Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment for Private Wells in Flood-Impacted Areas,"Microbial contamination of private well systems continues to be a prominent drinking water concern, especially for areas impacted by floodwaters. Hurricane Harvey deposited nearly 60 inches of rain, resulting in extensive flooding throughout Houston, Texas, and neighboring counties. A sampling campaign to test private wells for fecal indicator bacteria was initiated in the weeks following flooding. Escherichia coli concentrations measured in wells were utilized in a quantitative microbial risk assessment to estimate the risk of infection for both drinking water and indirect ingestion exposure scenarios. Derived reference pathogen doses indicated that norovirus (1.60 × 10−4 to 8.32 × 10−5) and Cryptosporidium (2.37–7.80 × 10−6) posed the greatest health risk via drinking, with median health risk estimates exceeding the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s modified daily risk threshold of 1 × 10−6 for a gastrointestinal infection. Bathing (1.78 × 10−6), showering (4.32 × 10−7), and food/dish washing (1.79 × 10−6) were also identified to be exposure pathways of health concern. A post-flood microbial risk assessment of private wells in the Gulf Coast has not previously been conducted. Estimating these health risks can provide scientifically supported guidance regarding which well water practices are safest, especially when well water quality is unknown. Developing this guidance is critical as coastal communities experience increased vulnerability to flooding.","At the time the research was conducted, A.G. was supported by a graduate assistantship and the Mills Scholarship from the Texas Water Resources Institute and Texas A&amp;M AgriLife.","This work was also made possible in part by partial support from the National Science Foundation Rapid Response Research (RAPID) Program under Grant Number 1760296.

,pub.1151273300,10.1088/1748-9326/ac948f,,,,Snow-influenced floods are more strongly connected in space than purely rainfall-driven floods,"Widespread floods that affect several catchments are associated with large damages and costs. To improve flood protection, a better understanding of the driving processes of such events is needed. Here, we assess how spatial flood connectedness varies with the flood generation process using a flood event classification scheme that distinguishes between rainfall-driven and snowmelt-influenced flood types. Our results show that the dominant flood generation processes in Europe vary by region, season, and event severity. Specifically, we show that severe floods are more often associated with snow-related processes than moderate events. In addition, we find that snow-influenced events show stronger spatial connections than rainfall-driven events. The spatial connectedness of rainfall-driven events depends on the rainfall duration, and the connectedness decreases with increasing duration. These findings have potential implications for flood risk in a warming climate, both locally and regionally. The projected decrease in the frequency of occurrence of snowmelt-influenced floods may translate into a decrease in the frequency of severe and widespread floods in catchments where snowmelt processes are important for flood generation.",We thank the German Research Foundation for funding this Project (2100371301 granted to MIB and FOR2416 granted to SF).,,Environmental Research Letters,,,IOP Publishing,"1748-9318, 1748-9326",,2022-10-01,2022,2022-10-05,2022-10-01,17,10,104038,All OA; Gold,Article,Research Article,"Brunner, Manuela I; Fischer, Svenja","Brunner, Manuela I (Institute of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany); Fischer, Svenja (Engineering Hydrology and Water Resources Management, Ruhr University Bochum, Bochum, Germany)","Brunner, Manuela I (University of Freiburg)","Brunner, Manuela I (University of Freiburg); Fischer, Svenja (Ruhr University Bochum)",Ruhr University Bochum; University of Freiburg,grid.5570.7; grid.5963.9,Bochum; Freiburg,Nordrhein-Westfalen; ,Germany; Germany,Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft,,Germany,,,23,22,,9.07,8,https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ac948f,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1151273300,37 Earth Sciences; 3701 Atmospheric Sciences; 3707 Hydrology; 3709 Physical Geography and Environmental Geoscience,,,,,,C14 Geography and Environmental Studies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,

The CISA advisory list is the most common national definition of ECIW but has not been mapped to United States (U.S.) Census industry codes (CICs) to readily identify these worker populations in public health data sources.
METHODS: We identified essential critical infrastructure industry designations corresponding to v4.0 of the CISA advisory list for all six-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and cross-walked NAICS codes to CICs. CICs were grouped as essential, non-essential, or mixed essential/non-essential according to component NAICS industries. We also obtained national estimated population sizes for NAICS and Census industries and cross-tabulated Census industry and occupation codes to identify industry-occupation pairs.
RESULTS: We produced and made publicly available spreadsheets containing essential industry designations corresponding to v4.0 of the CISA advisory list for NAICS and Census industry titles and codes and population estimates by six-digit NAICS industry, Census industry, and Census industry-occupation pair. The CISA advisory list is highly inclusive and contains most industries and U.S. workers; 71.0% of Census industries comprising 80.6% of workers and 80.7% of NAICS industries comprising 87.1% of workers were designated as essential.
CONCLUSIONS: We identified workers in essential critical infrastructure industries as defined by CISA using standardized industry codes. These classifications may support public health interventions and analyses related to the COVID-19 pandemic and future public health crises.","ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors would like to thank Jennifer Cornell for industry and occupation coding support, Joseph Kane and Adie Tomer for project guidance, and Stephen Curren, Ed Jopeck, and John Ransom for review of the code set.

To determine the effect of heat waves on emergency department (ED) visits for individuals experiencing homelessness and explore vulnerability factors. Methods. We used a unique highly detailed data set on sociodemographics of ED visits in San Diego, California, 2012 to 2019. We applied a time-stratified case-crossover design to study the association between various heat wave definitions and ED visits. We compared associations with a similar population not experiencing homelessness using coarsened exact matching. Results. Of the 24 688 individuals identified as experiencing homelessness who visited an ED, most were younger than 65 years (94%) and of non-Hispanic ethnicity (84%), and 14% indicated the need for a psychiatric consultation. Results indicated a positive association, with the strongest risk of ED visits during daytime (e.g., 99th percentile, 2 days) heat waves (odds ratio = 1.29; 95% confidence interval = 1.02, 1.64). Patients experiencing homelessness who were younger or elderly and who required a psychiatric consultation were particularly vulnerable to heat waves. Odds of ED visits were higher for individuals experiencing homelessness after matching to nonhomeless individuals based on age, gender, and race/ethnicity. Conclusions. It is important to prioritize individuals experiencing homelessness in heat action plans and consider vulnerability factors to reduce their burden.

Fine particulate matter, PM2.5, in wildfire smoke adversely impacts human health. Recent toxicological studies suggest that wildfire particulate matter may be more toxic than equal doses of ambient PM2.5. Air quality regulations however assume that the toxicity of PM2.5 does not vary across different sources of emission. Assessing whether PM2.5 from wildfires is more or less harmful than PM2.5 from other sources is a pressing public health concern. Here, we isolate the wildfire-specific PM2.5 using a series of statistical approaches and exposure definitions. We found increases in respiratory hospitalizations ranging from 1.3 to up to 10% with a 10 μg m−3 increase in wildfire-specific PM2.5, compared to 0.67 to 1.3% associated with non-wildfire PM2.5. Our conclusions point to the need for air quality policies to consider the variability in PM2.5 impacts on human health according to the sources of emission.",This work was funded by the University of California Office of the President via Multicampus Research Programs and Initiatives (MRPI; MRP-17-446315) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) California–Nevada Climate Applications Program award NA17OAR4310284.

When using discharge data, work-relatedness is often determined by the expected payer of workers' compensation (WC). In October 2015, healthcare discharge data coding systems transitioned to the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM). ICD-10-CM's structure offers potential new work-related codes to enhance work-related injury surveillance. This study identified work-related ED visits using relevant ICD-10-CM work-related injury codes. Cases identified using this method were compared with those identified using the WC expected payer approach.
METHODS: State ED visit discharge data (2016-2019) were analysed using the CDC's discharge data surveillance definition. Injuries were identified using a diagnosis code or an external cause-of-injury code in any field. Injuries were assessed by mechanism and expected payer. Literature searches and manual review of ICD-10-CM codes were conducted to identify possible work-related injury codes. Descriptive statistics were performed and assessed by expected payer.
RESULTS: WC was billed for 87 361 injury ED visits from 2016 to 2019. Falls were the most frequent injury mechanism. The 246 ICD-10-CM work-related codes identified 36% more work-related ED injury visits than using WC as the expected payer alone.
CONCLUSION: This study identified potential ICD-10-CM codes to expand occupational injury surveillance using discharge data beyond the traditional WC expected payer approach. Further studies are needed to validate the work-related injury codes and support the development of a work-related injury surveillance case definition.","The authors would like to thank the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Office of Health Data and Analytics, for the provision of the statewide ED visit data.

,pub.1133691835,10.1093/ije/dyaa286,33448301,,,A systematic review on lagged associations in climate–health studies,"BACKGROUND: Lagged associations in climate-health studies have already been ubiquitously acknowledged in recent years. Despite extensive time-series models having proposed accounting for lags, few studies have addressed the question of maximum-lag specification, which could induce considerable deviations of effect estimates.
METHODS: We searched the PubMed and Scopus electronic databases for existing climate-health literature in the English language with a time-series or case-crossover study design published during 2000-2019 to summarize the statistical methodologies and reported lags of associations between climate variables and 14 common causes of morbidity and mortality. We also aggregated the results of the included studies by country and climate zone.
RESULTS: The associations between infectious-disease outcomes and temperatures were found to be lagged for ∼1-2 weeks for influenza, 3-6 weeks for diarrhoea, 7-12 weeks for malaria and 6-16 weeks for dengue fever. Meanwhile, the associations between both cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and hot temperatures lasted for <5 days, whereas the associations between cardiovascular diseases and cold temperatures were observed to be 10-20 days. In addition, rainfall showed a 4- to 10-week lagged association with infectious diarrheal diseases, whereas the association could be further delayed to 8-12 weeks for vector-borne diseases.
CONCLUSION: Our findings indicated some general patterns for possible lagged associations between some common health outcomes and climatic exposures, and suggested a necessity for a biologically plausible and reasonable definition of the effect lag in the modelling practices for future environmental epidemiological studies.",This systematic review does not need institutional ethics approval since we did not collect personal or confidential information from participants and all evidence collected are publicly accessible.

Adverse impacts amplify for socially vulnerable populations, who disproportionately inhabit flood-prone areas. This study explores the geography of flood exposure and social vulnerability in the conterminous United States based on spatial analysis of fluvial and pluvial flood extent, land cover, and social vulnerability. Using bivariate Local Indicators of Spatial Association, we map hotspots where high flood exposure and high social vulnerability converge and identify dominant indicators of social vulnerability within these places. The hotspots, home to approximately 19 million people, occur predominantly in rural areas and across the US South. Mobile homes and racial minorities are most overrepresented in hotspots compared to elsewhere. The results identify priority locations where interventions can mitigate both physical and social aspects of flood vulnerability. The variables that most distinguish the clusters are used to develop an indicator set of social vulnerability to flood exposure. Understanding who is most exposed to floods and where, can be used to tailor mitigation strategies to target those most in need.","We would like to thank Kris Johnson and Paul Bates, who provided valuable feedback on previous iterations of the analysis methodology and manuscript.",No funding was received for conducting this study.,Natural Hazards,,,Springer Nature,"0921-030X, 1573-0840",,2021-01-04,2021,2021-01-04,2021-03,106,1,435-457,All OA; Hybrid,Article,Research Article,"Tate, Eric; Rahman, Md Asif; Emrich, Christopher T.; Sampson, Christopher C.","Tate, Eric (Geographical and Sustainability Sciences, University of Iowa, 316 Jessup Hall, 52242, Iowa City, IA, USA); Rahman, Md Asif (Geographical and Sustainability Sciences, University of Iowa, 316 Jessup Hall, 52242, Iowa City, IA, USA); Emrich, Christopher T.

The association with WFS PM2.5 was evaluated using time-stratified case-crossover designs. The maximum WFS PM2.5 concentration during the study period was 172 µg/m3. A 10 µg/m3 increase in WFS increased risk in asthma diagnosis at emergency departments (odds ratio [OR]: 1.089, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.043–1.136), office visit (OR: 1.050, 95% CI: 1.038–1.063), and outpatient visits (OR: 1.065, 95% CI: 1.029–1.103); an association was observed with asthma rescue inhaler medication fills (OR: 1.077, 95% CI: 1.065–1.088).

To help understand the risks of such activities, we evaluated the impact of a large and destructive storm (Hurricane Sandy in 2012) on the incidence of tree-related injuries.
METHODS: We searched chief-complaint text fields for patients aged 18-65 from 2011-2014 emergency department visit records submitted by New Jersey hospitals through the state-based syndromic surveillance system. Tree-related keywords (eg, saw, branch, wood chip, woodchip, tree) identified possible injuries that we then reviewed to exclude unrelated cases and classify mechanisms of tree-related injury. We used Poisson regression analysis to evaluate changes in the rates of probable tree-related injuries, adjusting for total emergency department visits and seasonal variation.
RESULTS: We identified 698 probable tree-related injuries from 2011-2014 among patients aged 18-65, including 104 (14.9%) falls, 241 (34.5%) machine-related injuries, 311 (44.6%) struck-by injuries, and 42 (6.0%) other tree-related injuries. Tree-related injuries increased significantly in the quarter immediately after Hurricane Sandy (November 2012-January 2013) compared with the same quarter the year before (rate ratio [RR] = 1.67; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13-2.47) and the year after (RR = 2.47; 95% CI, 1.62-3.78) Hurricane Sandy, especially for struck-by injuries compared with the year before (RR = 2.74; 95% CI, 1.47-5.12) and the year after (RR = 4.17; 95% CI, 2.09-8.32) Hurricane Sandy. More than one-third of the injuries (33.4%) involved chainsaws.
CONCLUSIONS: A major hurricane was associated with an increase in tree-related injuries in emergency departments, especially for mechanisms consistent with handling downed and damaged trees. Further research should confirm these findings and evaluate opportunities for preventing tree-related injuries.","The authors acknowledge the important role of our stakeholder advisory group, which shared important insights about tree-care practices and storm response.

These hazards have received little attention in the occupational safety and health literature.
METHODS: This paper is based on semi-structured interviews with 23 stakeholders involved in the Hurricane Sandy cleanup effort.
RESULTS: Interview participants identified at risk sectors, gaps in training and preparedness, and raised particular concerns about storm downed trees, electrical hazards, and fatigue and suggested steps to reduce these hazards.
CONCLUSIONS: Stakeholders' observations about storm response suggest directions for improving the health and safety of this critical workforce.","AUTHORS’ CONTRIBUTIONS MO worked on designing the interview protocol, identification and outreach to participants, IRB application, interviews, data entry and analysis, and writing.

It is unknown, however, whether existing surveillance systems in the United States have adequate capacity to serve that role, nor what actions may be needed to develop adequate capacity.
OBJECTIVE: Our goals were to review efforts to assess and strengthen the capacity of public health surveillance systems to support health-related adaptation to climate change in the United States and to determine whether additional efforts are warranted.
METHODS: Building on frameworks issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we specified 4 core components of public health surveillance capacity relevant to climate change health threats. Using standard methods, we next identified and analyzed multiple assessments of the existing, relevant capacity of public health surveillance systems as well as attempts to improve that capacity. We also received information from selected national public health associations.
FINDINGS: Multiple federal, state, and local public health agencies, professional associations, and researchers have made valuable, initial efforts to assess and strengthen surveillance capacity. These efforts, however, have been made by entities working independently and without the benefit of a shared conceptual framework or strategy. Their principal focus has been on identifying suitable indicators and data sources largely to the exclusion of other core components of surveillance capacity.
CONCLUSIONS: A more comprehensive and strategic approach is needed to build the public health surveillance capacity required to protect the health of Americans in a world of rapidly evolving climate change. Public health practitioners and policy makers at all levels can use the findings and issues reviewed in this article as they lead design and execution of a coordinated, multisector strategic plan to create and sustain that capacity.",,,Journal of Public Health Management and Practice,,,Wolters Kluwer,"1078-4659, 1550-5022",Climate Change; Humans; Population Surveillance; Public Health; Strategic Planning; United States,2017-11,2017,,2017-11,23,6,618-626,All OA; Green,Article,Research Article,"Moulton, Anthony Drummond; Schramm, Paul John","Moulton, Anthony Drummond (Climate and Health Program, National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia (Mr Schramm).

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to systematically examine the impacts of heat waves on mortality with lag effects internationally.
METHODS: We collected daily data of temperature and mortality from 400 communities in 18 countries/regions and defined 12 types of heat waves by combining community-specific daily mean temperature ≥90th, 92.5th, 95th, and 97.5th percentiles of temperature with duration ≥2, 3, and 4 d. We used time-series analyses to estimate the community-specific heat wave-mortality relation over lags of 0-10 d. Then, we applied meta-analysis to pool heat wave effects at the country level for cumulative and lag effects for each type of heat wave definition.
RESULTS: Heat waves of all definitions had significant cumulative associations with mortality in all countries, but varied by community. The higher the temperature threshold used to define heat waves, the higher heat wave associations on mortality. However, heat wave duration did not modify the impacts. The association between heat waves and mortality appeared acutely and lasted for 3 and 4 d. Heat waves had higher associations with mortality in moderate cold and moderate hot areas than cold and hot areas. There were no added effects of heat waves on mortality in all countries/regions, except for Brazil, Moldova, and Taiwan. Heat waves defined by daily mean and maximum temperatures produced similar heat wave-mortality associations, but not daily minimum temperature.
CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate that high temperatures create a substantial health burden, and effects of high temperatures over consecutive days are similar to what would be experienced if high temperature days occurred independently. People living in moderate cold and moderate hot areas are more sensitive to heat waves than those living in cold and hot areas. Daily mean and maximum temperatures had similar ability to define heat waves rather than minimum temperature. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1026.","We thank relevant institutes/agencies who provided data on mortality and weather conditions.

METHODS: Emergency Department (ED) chief complaint fields were evaluated from 79 of 80 hospitals in NJ in 2014, using work-related keywords and ICD-9 E-codes, to determine its ability to capture non-fatal work-related injuries. Sensitivity analysis and descriptive statistics, were used to evaluate and summarize the occupational injuries identified.
RESULTS: Overall, 11 919 (0.3%) possible work-related ED visits were identified from all ED visits. Events with the greatest number of ED visits were slips, trips, and falls (1679, 14%). Nature of injury included cuts, lacerations (1041, 9%). The part of the body most affected was the back (1414, 12%). This work-related classifier achieved a sensitivity of 5.4%, a specificity of 99.8%, and a PPV of 2.8%.
CONCLUSIONS: This evaluation demonstrated that the syndromic surveillance reporting system can yield real-time knowledge of work-related injuries.","AUTHORS’ CONTRIBUTIONS All authors contributed to the conception and design of the study; drafting and revising the work critically for important intellectual content; approving the final version of the manuscript for publication; and both agree to be accountable for all aspects of the study to ensure that any questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the study are appropriately investigated and resolved.

METHODS: We obtained data on ED visits, hospitalizations, and deaths for Florida residents for May 1 through October 31, 2005-2012. To identify patients with HRI, we used codes from the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification ( ICD-9-CM) to search data on ED visits and hospitalizations and codes from the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision ( ICD-10) to search data on deaths. We stratified the results by data source and whether the HRI was work related.
RESULTS: We identified 23 981 ED visits, 4816 hospitalizations, and 140 deaths in patients with non-work-related HRI and 2979 ED visits, 415 hospitalizations, and 23 deaths in patients with work-related HRI. The most common diagnosis codes among patients were for severe HRI (heat exhaustion or heatstroke). The proportion of patients with a severe HRI diagnosis increased with data source severity. If ICD-9-CM code E900.1 and ICD-10 code W92 (excessive heat of man-made origin) were used as exclusion criteria for HRI, 5.0% of patients with non-work-related deaths, 3.0% of patients with work-related ED visits, and 1.7% of patients with work-related hospitalizations would have been removed.
CONCLUSIONS: Using multiple data sources and all diagnosis fields may improve the sensitivity of HRI surveillance. Future studies should evaluate the impact of converting ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM codes on HRI surveillance of ED visits and hospitalizations.","We thank Kristina Kintziger and Meredith Jagger for their support, technical input, and review of this manuscript and Melissa Jordan for her assistance in obtaining the data.",,Public Health Reports,,,SAGE Publications,"0033-3549, 1468-2877",Adolescent; Adult; Clinical Coding; Female; Florida; Heat Stress Disorders; Hospitalization; Humans; Information Storage and Retrieval; International Classification of Diseases; Male; Morbidity; Population Surveillance; Young Adult,2017-04-05,2017,2017-04-05,2017-05,132,3,326-335,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Morano, Laurel Harduar; Watkins, Sharon","Morano, Laurel Harduar (Department of Epidemiology, Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA); Watkins, Sharon (Bureau of Epidemiology, Pennsylvania Department of Health, Harrisburg, PA, USA; Public Health Research Unit, Florida Department of Health, Tallahassee, FL, USA)","Morano, Laurel Harduar (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill)","Morano, Laurel Harduar (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill); Watkins, Sharon (Pennsylvania Department of Health; Florida Department of Health)",University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Florida Department of Health; Pennsylvania Department of Health,grid.10698.36; grid.410382.c; grid.280365.a,Chapel Hill; Tallahassee; Harrisburg,North Carolina; Florida; Pennsylvania,United States; United States; United States,National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences; National Center for Environmental Health; National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health; United States Department of Health and Human Services,US Federal Funders; NIH - National Institutes of Health; ICRP - International Cancer Research Partnership; CDC - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,United States; United States; United States; United States,grant.2683480; grant.2686552; grant.2704973,T32ES007018; T42OH008673; UE1EH001047,18,7,0.91,4.28,7,https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0033354917699826,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1084611278,42 Health Sciences; 4203 Health Services and Systems,Minority Health,,,,,"A03 Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy",3 Good Health and Well Being,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,

METHODS: The outcomes were daily person-based frequencies of EHI and AI. Exposures were maximum estimated WBGT (WBGTmax) and severity. Previous day's cumulative effect was assessed by introducing previous day's WBGTmax into the model.
RESULTS: EHI and AI were higher in workers exposed above a WBGTmax of 20°C (RR 1.40 and RR 1.06/°C, respectively). Exposures above 28°C-WBGTmax on the day of the EHI and/or the day before were associated with higher risk of EHI due to an interaction between previous day's environmental conditions and the current day (RRs from 1.0-10.4).

Occupational injury surveillance is necessary for effective prevention planning and assessing progress toward Healthy People 2020 objectives. Our objectives were to (1) describe the Washington State Trauma Registry (WTR) as a resource for occupational injury surveillance and research, (2) compare the WTR with 2 population-based data sources more widely used for these purposes, and (3) compare the number of injuries ascertained by the WTR with other data sources.
METHODS: We linked WTR records to hospital discharge records in the Comprehensive Hospital Abstract Reporting System for 2009 and to workers' compensation claims from the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries for 1998 to 2008. We assessed the 3 data sources for overlap, concordance, and case ascertainment.
RESULTS: Of 9185 work-related injuries in the WTR, 3380 (37%) did not link to workers' compensation claims. Use of payer information in hospital discharge records along with the WTR work-relatedness field identified 20% more linked injuries as work related (n = 720) than did use of payer information alone (n = 602). The WTR identified substantial numbers of work-related injuries that were not identified through workers' compensation or hospital discharge records.
CONCLUSIONS: Workers' compensation and hospital discharge databases are important but incomplete data sources for work-related injuries; many work-related injuries are not billed to, reported to, or covered by workers' compensation. Trauma registries are well positioned to capture severe work-related injuries and should be included in comprehensive injury surveillance efforts.",,,Public Health Reports,,,SAGE Publications,"0033-3549, 1468-2877","Databases, Factual; Humans; International Classification of Diseases; Occupational Injuries; Patient Discharge; Population Surveillance; Registries; Research; Washington; Workers' Compensation; Wounds and Injuries",2016-10-22,2016,2016-10-22,2016-11,131,6,791-799,All OA; Hybrid,Article,Research Article,"Sears, Jeanne M.; Bowman, Stephen M.","Sears, Jeanne M.

The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship of local PM2.5 levels, modeled using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model with Chemistry, with emergency department visits and acute hospitalizations for respiratory and cardiovascular outcomes during the 2012 Colorado wildfires.MethodsConditional logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between both continuous and categorical PM2.5 and emergency department visits during the wildfire period, from June 5th to July 6th 2012.ResultsFor respiratory outcomes, we observed positive relationships between lag 0 PM2.5 and asthma/wheeze (1 h max OR 1.01, 95 % CI (1.00, 1.01) per 10 μg/m3; 24 h mean OR 1.04 95 % CI (1.02, 1.06) per 5 μg/m3), and COPD (1 h max OR 1.01 95 % CI (1.00, 1.02) per 10 μg/m3; 24 h mean OR 1.05 95 % CI (1.02, 1.08) per 5 μg/m3). These associations were also positive for 2-day and 3-day moving average lag periods. When PM2.5 was modeled as a categorical variable, bronchitis also showed elevated effect estimates over the referent groups for lag 0 24 h average concentration. Cardiovascular results were consistent with no association.ConclusionsWe observed positive associations between PM2.5 from wildfire and respiratory diseases, supporting evidence from previous research that wildfire PM2.5 is an important source for adverse respiratory health outcomes.","The authors would like to acknowledge Christine Wiedinmyer (NCAR) and Sean Raffuse (Sonoma Technology) for providing the fire emission inventory.

Houston and other areas in Texas experienced an exceptional heat wave in the summer of 2011 producing the hottest August on record. This study aims to assess the health-related impact of this heat wave.MethodsDistributed lag models were used to estimate associations between the 2011 heat wave and all-cause mortality and emergency department (ED) visits from May 1 through September 30 for the five-year period 2007–2011. The 2011 heat wave is defined as a continuous period from August 2 through 30, 2011 according to the heat advisories issued by the local National Weather Service office, and is included in the models as a dummy variable. We compared the estimated excess risk among the models with and without adjustment of continuous temperature and ozone.ResultsThe 2011 heat wave in Houston was associated with a 3.6% excess risk in ED visits (95% CI: 0.6%, 6.6%) and 0.6% increase in mortality risk (95% CI: -5.5%, 7.1%). The elderly over 65 years of age were at the greatest risk in ED visits. These patterns are consistent across different heat-wave definitions, and results are similar when adjusting for continuous temperature and ozone.ConclusionsThe 2011 heat wave in Houston had a substantial impact on ED visits and no significant impact on mortality.

The study objectives were to identify the industries and occupations associated with worker injuries and to determine the predictors for injured worker drug screening in trauma centers.
METHODS: Work-related injury cases were selected using three criteria (expected payer source of workers' compensation, industry-related e-codes, and work-related indicator) from the Kentucky Trauma Registry data set for years 2008 to 2012. Descriptive analyses and multiple logistic regression were performed on the work-related injury cases.
RESULTS: The ""other services"" and construction industry sectors accounted for the highest number of work-related cases. Drugs were detected in 55% of all drug-screened work-related trauma cases. Higher percentages of injured workers tested positive for drugs in the natural resources and mining, transportation and public utilities, and construction industries. In comparison, higher percentages of injured workers in the other services as well as transportation and public utilities industries were drug screened. Treatment at Level I trauma centers and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores indicating a coma or severe brain injury were both significant independent predictors for being screened for drugs; industry was not a significant predictor for being drug screened. The injured worker was more likely to be drug screened if the worker had a greater than mild injury, regardless of whether the worker was an interfacility transfer.
CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that there may be elevated drug use or abuse in natural resources and mining, transportation and public utilities, as well as construction industry workers; improved identification of the specific drug types in positive drug screen results of injured workers is needed to better target prevention efforts.

The term shared traumatic stress (SdTS) contains aspects of post-traumatic stress and secondary trauma, and reflects practitioners' dual exposure to collective traumatic events. In an effort to explore and further validate the construct of SdTS, a sample of 244 social workers from New Orleans were studied using path analytic modelling with respect to the personal and professional impact of Hurricane Katrina. Potential risk factors included attachment style, exposure to potentially traumatic life events and enduring distress attributed to Hurricane Katrina. Social workers' resilience was examined for its role in mediating the relationship between these risk factors and SdTS. As hypothesised, insecure attachment, greater exposure to potentially traumatic life events in general and distress related to the events surrounding Hurricane Katrina were predictive of higher levels of SdTS. Insecure attachment and enduring distress attributed to Katrina also significantly predicted lower levels of resilience, though exposure to potentially traumatic life events did not. Resilience was found to mediate the relationship between insecure attachment, enduring distress attributed to Katrina and SdTS but not the relationship between exposure to potentially traumatic life events and SdTS.

Climate change will increase the severity and frequency of smoke events, suggesting a need for enhanced public health protection. Forecasts of smoke exposure can facilitate public health responses.
OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the utility of a wildfire smoke forecasting system (BlueSky) for public health protection by comparing its forecasts with observations and assessing their associations with population-level indicators of respiratory health in British Columbia, Canada.
METHODS: We compared BlueSky PM2.5 forecasts with PM2.5 measurements from air quality monitors, and BlueSky smoke plume forecasts with plume tracings from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Hazard Mapping System remote sensing data. Daily counts of the asthma drug salbutamol sulfate dispensations and asthma-related physician visits were aggregated for each geographic local health area (LHA). Daily continuous measures of PM2.5 and binary measures of smoke plume presence, either forecasted or observed, were assigned to each LHA. Poisson regression was used to estimate the association between exposure measures and health indicators.
RESULTS: We found modest agreement between forecasts and observations, which was improved during intense fire periods. A 30-μg/m3 increase in BlueSky PM2.5 was associated with an 8% increase in salbutamol dispensations and a 5% increase in asthma-related physician visits. BlueSky plume coverage was associated with 5% and 6% increases in the two health indicators, respectively. The effects were similar for observed smoke, and generally stronger in very smoky areas.
CONCLUSIONS: BlueSky forecasts showed modest agreement with retrospective measures of smoke and were predictive of respiratory health indicators, suggesting they can provide useful information for public health protection.","We thank I.

The impact of floods on the human community is related directly to the location and topography of the area, as well as human demographics and characteristics of the built environment.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to identify the health impacts of disasters and the underlying causes of health impacts associated with floods. A conceptual framework is developed that may assist with the development of a rational and comprehensive approach to prevention, mitigation, and management.
METHODS: This study involved an extensive literature review that located >500 references, which were analyzed to identify common themes, findings, and expert views. The findings then were distilled into common themes.
RESULTS: The health impacts of floods are wide ranging, and depend on a number of factors. However, the health impacts of a particular flood are specific to the particular context. The immediate health impacts of floods include drowning, injuries, hypothermia, and animal bites. Health risks also are associated with the evacuation of patients, loss of health workers, and loss of health infrastructure including essential drugs and supplies. In the medium-term, infected wounds, complications of injury, poisoning, poor mental health, communicable diseases, and starvation are indirect effects of flooding. In the long-term, chronic disease, disability, poor mental health, and poverty-related diseases including malnutrition are the potential legacy.

This study examines how workers are fatally injured in severe natural events.
METHODS: A classification structure was created that identified the physical component of the disaster that led to the death and the pursuit of the worker as it relates to the disaster. Data on natural disasters from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries for the years 1992 through 2006 were analyzed.
RESULTS: A total of 307 natural disaster deaths to workers were identified in 1992-2006. Most fatal occupational injuries were related to wildfires (80 fatalities), hurricanes (72 fatalities), and floods (62 fatalities). Compared with fatal occupational injuries in general, natural disaster fatalities involved more workers who were white and more workers who were working for the government. Most wildfire fatalities stemmed directly from exposure to fire and gases and occurred to those engaged in firefighting, whereas hurricane fatalities tended to occur more independently of disaster-produced hazards and to workers engaged in cleanup and reconstruction. Those deaths related to the 2005 hurricanes occurred a median of 36.5 days after landfall of the associated storm. Nearly half of the flood deaths occurred to passengers in motor vehicles. Other disasters included tornadoes (33 fatalities), landslides (17), avalanches (16), ice storms (14), and blizzards (9).
CONCLUSIONS: Despite an increasing social emphasis on disaster preparation and response, there has been little increase in expert knowledge about how people actually perish in these large-scale events. Using a 2-way classification structure, this study identifies areas of emphasis in preventing occupational deaths from various natural disasters.",,,Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness,,,Cambridge University Press (CUP),"1935-7893, 1938-744X","Accidents, Occupational; Adult; Burns; Censuses; Disasters; Humans; Occupational Exposure; Rescue Work; United States; Workforce; Wounds and Injuries",2009-12,2009,2013-04-08,2009-12,3,4,201-209,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Fayard, Gregory M","Fayard, Gregory M (University of California, Berkeley, USA. gmfayard@berkeley.edu)","Fayard, Gregory M (University of California, Berkeley)","Fayard, Gregory M (University of California, Berkeley)","University of California, Berkeley",grid.47840.3f,Berkeley,California,United States,,,,,,22,5,0.65,3.26,10,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1008966614,42 Health Sciences; 4202 Epidemiology; 4203 Health Services and Systems; 4206 Public Health,Climate-Related Exposures and Conditions,,,,,C14 Geography and Environmental Studies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,400,,,,,,

,pub.1151210889,10.3390/fire5050141,,,,Fire Regime Analysis in Lebanon (2001–2020): Combining Remote Sensing Data in a Scarcely Documented Area,"Fire is a recurrent disturbance in Mediterranean ecosystems. Data assemblage from forest fire services can provide useful information for understanding climate controls on daily fire hazard or long term trends. Located at the driest range of the Mediterranean bioclimate, and with contrasting socio-political systems compared to the European area, the southern Mediterranean ecosystems are subjected to more extreme climate and social events. This could potentially lead to unique fire regimes and trends worth being characterized for prevention plans and ecosystem management. However, the region is far less documented, due to missing or inhomogeneous fire records, leaving local authorities with no management strategies when large fires happen. We filled this knowledge gap for Lebanon by combining high spatial resolution Landsat data with high temporal resolution VIIRS (S-NPP and NOAA-20) and MODIS (MCD14ML) hotspots to characterize the seasonal and interannual fire regime over the 2001–2020 period. Numerous small fires were hardly detected by global remote sensing. We estimated that 2044 ha burn annually, representing 0.58% of the wildland cover, with no significant trend over the period, but with non climate-related fires detected during the year experiencing socio-political troubles. The spatial and temporal resolution of this dataset identified a particular prolonged fire season up to November, and an unusual bimodal fire season peaking in July and November. We related these features to the prolonged autumnal soil drought and high August air humidity in the region. This updated fire regime in Lebanon illustrates the benefits of this combined approach for data-scarce regions and provides new insights on the variability of fire weather types in the Mediterranean basin.","Landsat data were freely obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

In this study, we investigated the occurrence of naturally soil-inhabiting entomopathogenic fungi for their role in containing the massive outbreak of this insect. We used a combination of fungal bioexploration methods, including insect bait and selective media. Morphological features and multilocus phylogeny-based on Sanger sequencing of the transcripts encoding the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF-α), RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RBP2), and the nuclear intergenic region (Bloc) were used for species identification. The occurrence rate of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) varied with location, soil structure, forest structure, and isolation method. From 15 soil samples positive for fungal occurrence, a total of 249 isolates was obtained from all locations using different isolation methods. The phylogenetic analysis confirmed the existence of two novel indigenous species: Beauveria tannourinensis sp. nov. and Beauveria ehdenensis sp. nov. In conclusion, the present survey was successful (1) in optimizing the isolation methods for EPF, (2) investigating the natural occurrence of Beauveria spp. in outbreak areas of C. tannourinensis, and (3) in characterizing the presence of new Beauveria species in Lebanese cedar forest soil.",The authors would like to thank Stephen Rehner for his insightful comments regarding the phylogenetic placement of Beauveria.

,pub.1140735148,10.3390/f12091167,,,,Potential Factors behind the Decline of Pinus pinea Nut Production in Mediterranean Pine Forests,"Mediterranean stone pine nut is appreciated for its high economic and nutritional value. Starting in 2012, Pinus pinea nut production declined throughout the Mediterranean area. The dry cone syndrome associated with this decline and the introduction of Leptoglossus occidentalis occurred simultaneously. This study aims to evaluate potential reasons behind the decline in pine nut production in Lebanon, considering climatic factors and the invasion of L. occidentalis. Correlation analysis was used to examine a potential relationship between cone yield and the percentage of damaged seeds per cone. Climatic variables were also tested. Two time periods were considered for analysis: before and after 2012. Cone production and the percentage of damaged seeds were negatively correlated (r = −0.42). From 2012 to 2017, cone production declined by 50% and the percentage of damaged seeds increased on average from 3% in 2012 up to 60% in 2017. Correlations were detected between cone production and the temperature of the hottest three months of the year of harvesting, and between cone production and average temperatures during the year of cone initiation. A conjunction of factors that include L. occidentalis and climatic factors might have affected the pine nut production in Lebanon.","The authors would like to acknowledge the National Council for Scientific Research in Lebanon (CNRS-L) for granting a doctoral fellowship to Yara El Khoury and a grant research fund for this project.

Moreover, policymakers are interested in understanding the factors that have a significant impact on land use change. This paper analyses the dynamics of land use change in Lebanon between the years 1984 and 2019 and identifies the main factors behind this process. The use of LandSat satellite images enables the creation of land use maps at several periods and the monitoring of the evolution of built up areas as well as of green areas. Five periods emerge from this analysis, for which it is possible to propose explanatory factors, after an in-depth qualitative analysis. Within the framework of Structural Equation Models, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis is carried out to determine the impacts of several factors related to governance and financial data. Moreover, the urban sprawl is further investigated and explained by cultural, environmental, and infrastructural factors. The main results reveal that the development of built up areas is highly dependent on good funding conditions, whereas banking conditions and weak governance are correlated. The case of Lebanon presents specificities probably linked to historical and cultural considerations that deserve to be studied in future works. In the form of recommendations, new land use policies should be enacted to ensure sustainability in the form of an equilibrium between the urban development, from one side, and the preservation of natural resources and good environmental conditions on the other side. This could comprise the preservation of natural zones; the subsidization of the cultivation profession; and the encouragement of urban densification instead of horizontal sprawl.",,,Discover Applied Sciences,,,Springer Nature,"2523-3963, 3004-9261, 2523-3971",,2021-05-30,2021,2021-05-30,2021-06,3,6,677,All OA; Gold,Article,Research Article,"Al-Shaar, Walid; Bonin, Olivier","Al-Shaar, Walid (Civil Engineering Department, Doctoral School for Science and Technology, Lebanese University, Badaro, Museum, P.O.

The specific objectives were to (1) assess the visual impact of quarries and CDW dumpsites at the landscape level and (2) investigate the effect of land conversion to quarries and CDW dumpsites on water runoff volume. The methodology of work involved digitization of individual quarries and CDW dumpsites using very high-resolution satellite imagery. The volume of exploited material was estimated with the use of a Digital Elevation Model. Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis was employed to assess the state of soil cover on identified sites. Visual impact maps were developed using Geographic Information System analysis. The Natural Resource Conservation Service-Curve Number model was adopted to estimate changes in volume of annual surface water runoff. The assessment resulted in mapping individual quarries (i.e., 1,425 quarries over an area of 61,723,800 m2) and CDW dumpsites (i.e., 219 dumpsites over an area of 5,012,100 m2) showing (1) low to complete absence of vegetation recovery on identified sites, (2) improper location of quarries and large extent of visually polluted landscape and (3) increase in surface water runoff. This work demonstrated the ability of using an operational tool to spatially characterize quarries and CDW dumpsites and their impacts on the landscape in the absence of extensive site-specific datasets. The transferability and replicability of this tool count on systematic use of the investigated geospatial techniques.","The authors are grateful to Antoine Atallah for sharing data on quarries in Lebanon.

The role of land abandonment in modifying disturbance regimes has been highlighted for some types of disturbances, albeit being still somewhat overlooked compared to climate change.ObjectivesThis literature review is aimed at highlighting the most relevant effects of land abandonment and land-use legacy on the regime of different types of forest disturbances, providing insight into land-use change/disturbances interactions.MethodsWe searched in the Scopus and Web of Science databases for relevant studies at the global scale dealing with eight major natural disturbances: avalanche, flooding, herbivory, insect outbreak, landslide, rockfall, wildfire and windthrow. We classified papers into five relevance classes, with the highest score (4) assigned to studies quantitatively measuring the interactions between abandonment dynamics and disturbance regimes.ResultsMost papers focused on wildfires in Mediterranean Europe in the twentieth century, where landscape homogenisation and fuel build-up contributed to worsening their frequency, size and severity. Dense forests developed following land abandonment instead exert inhibiting effects toward mass movements such as avalanches, rockfalls and landslides. Regarding the other investigated disturbances, we found only a few studies presenting site-specific and partly contrasting effects.ConclusionsLand abandonment triggers ecological processes at the landscape scale, altering land cover patterns and vegetation communities, which in turn affect disturbance regimes.

The study was conducted on 250 Nile tilapia. Ten fish were used to isolate the probiotic strain. Two isolates showed an in vitro inhibitory effect against pathogenic A. hydrophila. The isolate with the largest zone was identified by PCR. Sixty fish were used to test the safety of a potential probiotic. One hundred and eighty fish were used in a two-month feeding experiment. Fish were divided into 3 groups, group (1): the control, group (2): fed on potential probiotics, and group (3): fed on commercial probiotic (Organic Green™). The effects of tested products on the immune response were recorded in all groups. After one and two months of feeding experiment, blood and nonspecific immune parameters were evaluated. Disease resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila was evaluated through challenge experiment. The histopathology of the treated groups was fully recorded in comparison with the control group. The potential probiotic based on the in vitro antimicrobial activity test was identified as P. putida using routine and gel electrophoresis and 16S rRNA sequencing. During the first and the second month of experiment, there was a highly significant increase in the survival percent of the experimental fish in both treated groups with probiotics. In the first phase of the experiment, a significant increase in the haematocrit values and NBT, lysozyme activity, and phagocytic activity was seen in all treated groups in comparison with the control. The increase in the TLC was significant in the group fed with P. putida in comparison with the control group. In the second phase, a nonsignificant increase in the hematocrit values and significant increases in the NBT and phagocytic index were seen in P. putida and organic green groups in comparison with the control group. The TLC and DLC revealed nonsignificant changes in the treated groups in comparison with the control. The RLP in the groups treated with P. putida was higher than that in those treated with organic green. Although probiotics are an important management tool in aquaculture, it should be subjected to scientific laboratory tests and field measurements.","Conflicts of Interest The author declares no significant conflicts of interest.

,pub.1132520050,10.1108/fer-07-2019-0017,,,,Reforestation for environmental services as valued by local communities: a case study from Lebanon,"Purpose
                    Lebanon has been subject to important reforestation activities which resulted in the establishment of several cedars, pine and other mixed forest stands on communal lands. These stands are not designated for timber production but rather for nonwood forest products (NWFPs), landscape restoration and for environmental services. The study aims at valuating old reforested sites from the perspective of rural communities neighboring those reforested stands.
                  
                  
                    Design/methodology/approach
                    To assess the non-timber goods and services provided by these forest ecosystems, 13 reforested sites located in different regions in Lebanon were selected. The socioeconomic assessment was done using questionnaires distributed to locals that have close interactions with the neighboring forests; it included, among others, a double-bonded dichotomous contingent valuation (CV) related to their willingness to pay (WTP) for reforestation and forest management activities.
                  
                  
                    Findings
                    Results of the goods and services assessment revealed that the forests have multifunctional uses with ecotourism as a major activity in all forest types. The CV showed that 75% of respondents did express a WTP. Most of the respondents did so, thus giving a great importance to intrinsic values of the forests. Lower income did not negatively affect the WTP of respondents but rather age and the educational level did. Other factors such as forest type, forest surface and the biodiversity status of the sites did not have an impact on WTP.
                  
                  
                    Practical implications
                    These results are very informative for governmental policies seeking funds to perform reforestation programs for environmental objectives, involving local communities in co-funding these programs would help insure the sustainable conservation of reforestation sites.
                  
                  
                    Social implications
                    Despite their relative low income, poor communities are willing to pay to sustain forests and their ecosystem services.
                  
                  
                    Originality/value
                    It is the first time that a CV is used for ecosystem services regenerated from 50–60 years old reforested sites in a semiarid region, where trees are not planted for timber production. It is one of the few examples were lower income did not affect the WTP for forests providing environmental services on communal lands.","This work was supported by the Association for Forests, Development and Conservation (AFDC) through assistance in the field survey and in the selection of the forested sites.

,pub.1122313871,10.1088/1748-9326/ab541e,,,,Wildfire management in Mediterranean-type regions: paradigm change needed,"During the last decades, climate and land use changes led to an increased prevalence of megafires in Mediterranean-type climate regions (MCRs). Here, we argue that current wildfire management policies in MCRs are destined to fail. Focused on fire suppression, these policies largely ignore ongoing climate warming and landscape-scale buildup of fuels. The result is a firefighting trap that contributes to ongoing fuel accumulation precluding suppression under extreme fire weather, and resulting in more severe and larger fires. We believe that a business as usual approach to wildfire in MCRs will not solve the fire problem, and recommend that policy and expenditures be rebalanced between suppression and mitigation of the negative impacts of fire. This requires a paradigm shift: policy effectiveness should not be primarily measured as a function of area burned (as it usually is), but rather as a function of avoided socio-ecological damage and loss.","This work was financed by national funds through FCTFoundation for Science and Technology, within the scope of project PCIF/AGT/0136/2017 (People&amp;Fire: reducing risk, living with risk) and PTDC/AGR-FOR/2586/2014 (RurIntFIre: Fire in the Rural-Urban Interface: characterisation, risk mapping, and fuel break design).

Like most developing countries, the increased inefficient use of energy in Vietnam leads to increased greenhouse gas emissions and high energy costs for consumers. Also, the traditional sources of energy are not sufficient to satisfy the demand of the economic sectors. With the negative impact of climate change on water resources and the depletion of coal, oil and gas reserves, Vietnam must diversify and integrate other forms of renewable energies into its energy mix. The efficient use of renewable energy resources can boost economic development. Thus, the policies for endorsing renewable energies and energy efficiency are playing a vital role in ensuring the sustainable development for Vietnam’s future. This paper examines the legal and policy framework influencing the deployment of renewable energies and energy efficiency in Vietnam. The paper also attempts to identify major barriers to a large scale deployment of renewable energies and energy efficiency technologies and offers some possible solutions.",,,Vietnamese Journal of Legal Sciences,,,De Gruyter,2719-3004,,2019-11-01,2019,2020-06-22,2019-11-01,1,1,33-47,All OA; Hybrid,Article,Research Article,"Dung, Tran Viet","Dung, Tran Viet (International law Department, Hochiminh city University of Law)","Dung, Tran Viet (International law Department, Hochiminh city University of Law)","Dung, Tran Viet (International law Department, Hochiminh city University of Law)",,,,,,,,,,,0,0,,0.0,4,https://content.sciendo.com/downloadpdf/journals/vjls/1/1/article-p33.pdf,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1128730136,38 Economics; 48 Law and Legal Studies; 4802 Environmental and Resources Law,,,,,,B12 Engineering,13 Climate Action; 7 Affordable and Clean Energy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,

Despite the doubts ambiguity, ecotourism is closely related to sustainability. This paper aims to study the contribution of ecotourism to sustainable development in Lebanon from a market perspective. In order to assess the level of understanding of the ecotourism concept by the Lebanese nature-based tour operators and their contribution to sustainable development, field data related to their profile and practices was collected using a survey administered to 50 operators. The main findings showed that their compliance with the international ecotourism principles and guidelines is weak and that they have a low level of specialization. However, despite this fact, ecotourism is trending in Lebanon and is providing rural areas with some economic benefits and opportunities without having a comprehensive contribution to ecological conservation and cultural preservation.

Rich) in Tannourine Cedar Forest Reserve (Lebanon) affected by cedar web-spinning sawfly (Cephalcia tannourinensis, Hymenoptera: Pamphiliidae)","Abstract: The analysis of forest structure is a useful tool to understand stand biodiversity characterizing forest ecosystems, and could help in suggesting appropriate management plans. Cedar forests in Lebanon are remnant patches that survived past human activities but are still threatened by other different anthropogenic and natural disturbances. Among these threats, the cedar web-spinning sawfly (Cephalcia tannourinensis) discovered in Tannourine Cedar Forest Nature Reserve in 1997, which is able to cause the death of trees. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of this pest on the stand structure and regeneration of Cedrus libani in Tannourine Cedar Forest Nature Reserve located in North Lebanon. The dependence of stand structural attributes (diameter at breast height, total height and basal area) on the presence of infestation by the cedar web-spinning sawfly was identified using the Student’s t-test. The Ripley’s K(d) function was used to analyse the spatial pattern of cedar stands. In addition, the diameter, the vertical structure and the crown projection were characterized using the Weibull function and graphic representations. The results showed that stand structure and regeneration are significantly different between infested and non-infested stands. The cedar of Lebanon remains as the dominant species, with abundant young individuals and a good regeneration status (c = 1.0). The analysis of the spatial pattern showed a positive spatial relationship between mature Lebanese cedar trees as well as between mature and juvenile cedars, with a bigger aggregation in infested plots (6 to 10 meters) than in non-infested quadrates (2 to 7 meters), reflecting the impact of the cedar web-spinning sawfly on the stand structure and regeneration of Cedrus libani stands.",,,iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry,,,Italian Society of Sivilculture and Forest Ecology (SISEF),1971-7458,,2018-04-30,2018,2018-04-30,,11,2,300,All OA; Gold,Article,Research Article,"Bassil, S; Kattar, S; Navarro-Cerrillo, RM; Poyatos, M Navarrete; Nemer, N; Rodríguez, G Palacios","Bassil, S (); Kattar, S (); Navarro-Cerrillo, RM (); Poyatos, M Navarrete (); Nemer, N (); Rodríguez, G Palacios ()",,"Bassil, S (); Kattar, S (); Navarro-Cerrillo, RM (); Poyatos, M Navarrete (); Nemer, N (); Rodríguez, G Palacios ()",,,,,,,,,,,5,0,,0.89,3,https://iforest.sisef.org/pdf/?id=ifor2502-011,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1108391984,"30 Agricultural, Veterinary and Food Sciences; 3007 Forestry Sciences",,,,,,"A03 Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy",15 Life on Land,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,

Le tourisme local représente un outil important pour générer des revenus au profit des communautés rurales. En revanche, la mauvaise planification et la gestion inefficace peuvent parfois conduire à des résultats indésirables au niveau des destinations rurales, ce qui nuit au patrimoine naturel et culturel. Durant les dix dernières années, le Liban a connu une croissance du tourisme rural. Toutefois, il n’y a pas d’étude scientifique réalisée sur ce marché de la part de l’offre, ni de la part de la demande touristique. Cette étude vise à analyser la demande du tourisme rural afin de mieux gérer et promouvoir ce marché en pleine croissance. Les résultats présentent des preuves sur les besoins, les préférences et les attentes des visiteurs provenant majoritairement des régions urbaines, ainsi que les différents facteurs qui les influencent. La collecte des données a été réalisée en mai 2014, au cours de l’exposition «  Travel Lebanon  » dédié à promouvoir le tourisme rural au Liban. Un échantillon de 436 individus, en majorité provenant du milieu urbain du Liban, a révélé des éclaircissements importants sur la perception et le comportement des visiteurs potentiels. Les caractéristiques personnelles, en particulier, le revenu et le contexte culturel des visiteurs interrogés ont été identifiés comme les principaux facteurs qui influencent leurs décisions et préférences concernant les différents services du tourisme.

(Kermes oak) is an evergreen oak, typical of the maquis in the eastern and south-eastern part of the Mediterranean. It occurs almost continuously along the Syrian–Lebanese coast up to 1500 m and is more scattered inland, up to the arid southernmost area of Petra in Jordan. Human impact and global warming both strongly affect the natural distribution of the species, thus leading to a widespread forest fragmentation in the whole region. In this study, we investigate the current bioclimatic range of Kermes oak and forecast which areas are potentially most suitable over the course of the twenty-first century. Ecological niche modelling was used to retrieve the environmental envelope of the species according to 23 topographic and climate variables. Five algorithms and three general circulation models were applied to provide the potential distribution of Kermes oak at the present time and project it to the future. Results showed a current suitability area in the Middle East extending from NW of Syria, rather continuously along the Lebanese coasts and inland up to the Mediterranean western slopes of Palestine and the Golan area (Israel), encompassing the Jordan Valley towards Dana and Wadi Rum (Jordan), with an isolated patch in Jabal Al-Arab (South Syria). Future scenarios depict a significant fragmentation and restriction of Kermes oak range, especially in the north of Syria and Golan, with a general shifting in altitude. This information may be useful in helping the foresters to cope with the challenge of climate changes by identifying the most suitable areas climatically effective for successful ecosystem restoration and management, including reforestation programmes.","We are thankful to the Institutions and persons who provided the presence data points of Q. coccifera in the Levant, namely: Prof. Magda Bou Dagher Kharrat (Saint Joseph University, Beirut, Lebanon), Lebanon Reforestation Initiative (LRI, http://lri-lb.org/), Israel Biodiversity Information System (http://www.biogis.huji.ac.il) for the online dataset freely available on species distributions in Israel, Prof. Mutaz Al-Qutob, Prof. Khalid Sawalha and Prof. Jihad Abbadi (Al-Quds University of Jerusalem, State of Palestine).

While factors worldwide included in a fire ignition are unstandardized, in this paper, we built a model from literature-cited factors – fourteen elements were included – to highlight the probability of wildfires' occurrence in the Lebanese forest. It was named Three-Type Model (TTM), where forests were classified into three types: pine, oak and mixed. Validations have been conducted by using thirty percent of datasets versus the other seventy percent; then, by comparing its accuracy to another model that study the forest as one unit only. Accuracy assessment of the model reached above 83%, and it could be portable to other Mediterranean-climate forests.In addition, we produced a wildfire risk map by combining fire ignition-related factors with vulnerability-related variables. Results show that 15.9% of the Lebanese regions and 43.46% of the total amount of wildfires are human-induced wildfires. The majority of human-induced wildfires exists in a medium to high wildfire-ignition probabilities classes and in oak forests, representing approximately 93 and 83% of these wildfires, respectively. We concluded as well that only 1.6% of the Lebanese forest is at high risk of wildfire ignition. The implementation of our methodology in different Mediterranean countries is easy and straightforward, mainly because of the reduction of the ignition parameters as well as the usage of remote sensing datasets. It shall help decision-makers and official authorities in preventing, pre-suppressing and battling this phenomenon.",AcknowledgmentsWe would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to Pr.

The specific objectives were (1) to determine the start, peak and end dates of the fire season and their temporal changes throughout the years, and (2) to evaluate corresponding weather variability and its relationship to changes in fire occurrence and seasonality. First, fire seasonality was determined using fire occurrence data from 2001 to 2011. Second, the de-trended mean monthly weather variables were studied for correlation with fire occurrence between the earliest starting month and the latest ending month of the determined fire seasons. The results showed that the average length of the fire season was 146.6 days, the average start date was 14 June, and the average end date was 12 November. Fire occurrence was positively correlated with mean monthly temperatures and negatively correlated with mean monthly precipitation and mean monthly wind speed. The length of the fire season was negatively correlated with mean annual precipitation.

,pub.1026717184,10.1002/ldr.1011,,,,Environmental impact of quarries on natural resources in Lebanon,"Abstract Years of unregulated mining activity have left hundreds of abandoned quarries across Lebanon. Satellite images show that the number of quarries and areas they cover increased, from 784 quarries covering 2897 ha in 1989, to 1278 quarries covering 5267 ha in 2005. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to assess the impact of quarrying activities on scarce Eastern Mediterranean natural resources. The assessment is based on the computation of spatial indicators such as rainfall, slope gradient, vegetation cover, soil erosion risk, and rock infiltration, using GIS to appraise critical impacts on the Lebanese ecosystem. Compared with the 1989 baseline, the area consumed by quarries in 2005 increased more than three times over former arable lands, one third for forest lands and doubled for pasture lands. Quarries additionally destroyed 676, 137, and 737 ha of productive lands, respectively. The comparison of quarry distribution with the land capability map revealed that quarries are found mainly on productive soils, consuming 1314 ha in 1989 and 2192 ha in 2005 of prime lands. A total of 87 per cent of studied quarries represent serious hazards to groundwater quality. In general, a total of 272 quarries have high impact, 657 quarries have moderate impact, and 349 quarries have low impact on natural ecosystems. Analyzed data revealed that around 62 per cent of the quarries are located in a highly unsuitable environment. This paper presents recent findings from the Eastern Mediterranean for territorial suitability assessment of quarries to be considered in the frame of natural resources and coastal ecosystems management.

Participants were 660 grade 10 and grade 11 students. They were administered a questionnaire to assess their environmental knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, affect, and intentions, and commitment to environmental friendly behaviors. Results showed that participants had favorable attitudes toward the environment but lacked in their environmental knowledge. Environmental knowledge was significantly related to parental education level, and to participants' environmental attitude, beliefs, affect, and behavioral commitments. These correlations, however, were low ( r =.17 to .33) indicating a definite but rather small relationship between these variables. By comparison, participants' scores on the behavior subscale were significantly and substantially correlated with their environmental affect ( r =.45) and intentions ( r =.46) suggesting that environmental intentions and affect might serve as good predictors of commitment to environmental friendly behavior.",,,Environmental Education Research,,,Taylor & Francis,"1350-4622, 1469-5871",,2003-02,2003,2010-07,2003-02,9,1,21-33,Closed,Article,Research Article,"MAKKI, MAHA HAIDAR; ABD-EL-KHALICK, FOUAD; BOUJAOUDE, SAOUMA","MAKKI, MAHA HAIDAR (American University of Beirut, Lebanon); ABD-EL-KHALICK, FOUAD (Lebanon University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA); BOUJAOUDE, SAOUMA (American University of Beirut, Lebanon)",,"MAKKI, MAHA HAIDAR (American University of Beirut); ABD-EL-KHALICK, FOUAD (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign); BOUJAOUDE, SAOUMA (American University of Beirut)",American University of Beirut; University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign,grid.22903.3a; grid.35403.31,Beirut; Urbana,; Illinois,Lebanon; United States,,,,,,0,0,,,,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1021669174,39 Education; 3901 Curriculum and Pedagogy; 41 Environmental Sciences; 4104 Environmental Management,Basic Behavioral and Social Science; Behavioral and Social Science; Clinical Research,,,,,"A03 Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,,,,,,,
,pub.1021819037,10.1038/35002501,10706275,,,Biodiversity hotspots for conservation priorities,"Conservationists are far from able to assist all species under threat, if only for lack of funding. This places a premium on priorities: how can we support the most species at the least cost? One way is to identify ‘biodiversity hotspots’ where exceptional concentrations of endemic species are undergoing exceptional loss of habitat. As many as 44% of all species of vascular plants and 35% of all species in four vertebrate groups are confined to 25 hotspots comprising only 1.4% of the land surface of the Earth. This opens the way for a ‘silver bullet’ strategy on the part of conservation planners, focusing on these hotspots in proportion to their share of the world's species at risk.","We thank P. Robles Gil of Agrupacion Sierra Madre and the scientists listed in Supplementary Information for their help with information and analysis; P. Chambers, S. Norris and M. Prescott for research help; and D. Duthie and J. McNeely for comments on an early draft. We also thank the Mexican company CEMEX for its major financial support, and the MacArthur Foundation and S. Concannon for additional support.","Since the original hotspots strategy5,6 began to be implemented in 1989, some $400 million has been invested by the MacArthur Foundation, the W. Alton Jones Foundation, Conservation International, the World Wildlife Fund and other non-governmental organizations. An annual average of $40 million over 10 years is only a tiny fraction of the amount spent per year on biodiversity conservation by governments and international agencies, these funds being assigned mainly to across-the-board activities rather than the concentrated efforts advocated here. The traditional scattergun approach of much conservation activity, seeking to be many things to many threatened species, needs to be complemented by a ‘silver bullet’ strategy in the form of hotspots with their emphasis on cost-effective measures. We could go far towards safeguarding the hotspots and thus a large proportion of all species at risk for an average of $20 million per hotspot per year over the next five years, or $500 million annually. Although this is 12.5 times the annual average of the $400 million spent on hotspots over the past decade, it is still only twice the cost of a single Pathfinder mission to Mars, which has been justified largely on biodiversity grounds (the search for extraterrestrial life). The $500 million annually is to be compared, moreover, with a recent estimate47 for a comprehensive conservation programme to protect biodiversity world-wide costing $300 billion annually—a total that should, in turn, be compared with subsidies of various sorts that degrade environments and economies alike, amounting to $1.5 trillion annually world-wide48. Finally, recall that the mass extinction of species, if allowed to persist, would constitute a problem with far more enduring impact than any other environmental problem. According to evidence from mass extinctions in the prehistoric past, evolutionary processes would not generate a replacement stock of species within less than several million years. What we do (or do not do) within the next few decades will determine the long-term future of a vital feature of the biosphere, its abundance and diversity of species. This expanded hotspots strategy offers a large step toward avoiding an impoverishment of the Earth lasting many times longer than Homo sapiens has been a species.",Nature,,,Springer Nature,"0028-0836, 1476-4687",Animals; Conservation of Natural Resources; Ecosystem; Plants; Research Support as Topic,2000-02,2000,,2000-02,403,6772,853-858,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Myers, Norman; Mittermeier, Russell A.; Mittermeier, Cristina G.; da Fonseca, Gustavo A.

As wildfires are smaller and more localised than other disasters, it is unclear if recovery after wildfire results in policy change and adaptation, decreasing assets at risk, or if recovery encourages reinvestment in hazard-prone areas. We studied three wildfires on the Colorado Front Range from 2010 to 2012 that each destroyed over 150 homes, describing policy response and characterising the built environment after wildfire. In each location, we found some adaptation, through better-mitigated homes and stronger building and vegetation mitigation standards, but also extensive reinvestment in hazard-prone environments, with governmental support. Despite suggestions that disaster can lead to substantial policy change and elevate the role of land-use planning, we saw only modest reforms: local governments did not revise land-use regulations; a statewide task force considered but did not require standards for building and vegetation mitigation; and only one jurisdiction strengthened its building and vegetation mitigation standards. Experiences in Colorado suggest that time after wildfire either does not provide extensive opportunities for adaptation in the built environment, or that these opportunities are easily missed.",This work was supported by the Rocky Mountain Research Station and Northern Research Station of the USDA Forest Service.

Hazards research suggests that response to wildfire—specifically, rebuilding after fire—may be a crucial opportunity for homeowner and community adaptation. We explore rebuilding after the 2010 Fourmile Canyon Fire from Boulder, CO, that destroyed 165 homes, to better understand individual and community adaptation after wildfire. We examined changes in perception of fire risk and structural characteristics and vegetation mitigation of rebuilt homes, to examine how homes, homeowners, and communities changed after fire. We found evidence that adaptation is occurring, as well as evidence that it is not. Overall, rebuilding was slow. More than 3½ years after the fire, only 30% of those who had lost homes had rebuilt.

However, little is known about post-wildfire response by homeowners and communities after buildings are lost. Our goal was to characterise rebuilding and new development after wildfires across the conterminous United States. We analysed all wildfires in the conterminous USA from 2000 to 2005. We mapped 42 724 buildings, of which 34 836 were present before the fire and survived, 3604 were burned, 2403 were post-fire new development, and 1881 were burned and rebuilt. Before the fires, 38 440 buildings were present within fire perimeters (surviving plus burned). Within 5 years post-fire, there were 39 120 buildings (surviving, rebuilt and new development). Nationally, only 25% of burned homes were rebuilt within 5 years, though rates were higher in the west, the south and Kansas. New development rates inside versus outside fire perimeters were similar. That the number of buildings inside fire perimeters within 5 years post-fire was greater than pre-fire indicated that homeowners are either willing to face wildfire risks or are unaware of them; or that economic incentives to rebuild in the same place outweigh perceived risks.","This work was supported by the Rocky Mountain Research Station and Northern Research Station of the USDA Forest Service and a Fulbright Exchange program fellowship to Patricia Alexandre.

,pub.1041080911,10.3390/f5010103,,,,Management for Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreak Suppression: Does Relevant Science Support Current Policy?,"While the use of timber harvests is generally accepted as an effective approach to controlling bark beetles during outbreaks, in reality there has been a dearth of monitoring to assess outcomes, and failures are often not reported. Additionally, few studies have focused on how these treatments affect forest structure and function over the long term, or our forests’ ability to adapt to climate change. Despite this, there is a widespread belief in the policy arena that timber harvesting is an effective and necessary tool to address beetle infestations. That belief has led to numerous proposals for, and enactment of, significant changes in federal environmental laws to encourage more timber harvests for beetle control. In this review, we use mountain pine beetle as an exemplar to critically evaluate the state of science behind the use of timber harvest treatments for bark beetle suppression during outbreaks. It is our hope that this review will stimulate research to fill important gaps and to help guide the development of policy and management firmly based in science, and thus, more likely to aid in forest conservation, reduce financial waste, and bolster public trust in public agency decision-making and practice.",This paper was funded in part though the National Science Foundation Montana Institute on Ecosystems EPSCoR EPS-1101342.,,Forests,,,MDPI,"1999-4907, 1999-4907",,2014-01-15,2014,2014-01-15,,5,1,103-133,All OA; Gold,Article,Review Article,"Six, Diana L.; Biber, Eric; Long, Elisabeth","Six, Diana L.

Climate and weather conditions influence beetle population dynamics, and managers and policymakers are concerned about the potential effects of climate change on outbreaks. Here we studied five locations with extensive outbreaks in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests across the western United States. Using observations and modeling, we quantified means and changes relative to prior years of three climate or weather factors associated with outbreaks: (1) year-round temperatures that affect adaptive seasonality; (2) low temperatures that induce mortality of overwintering beetles; and (3) drought stress of host trees. Climate variable means varied among locations, indicating the beetle’s tolerance to different climate during outbreaks. Analyses of climate or weather factors as outbreaks progressed revealed that year-round temperatures during outbreaks were typically higher than in prior years, and outbreak years lacked very low winter temperatures that often occurred in prior years. Drought was present at each location during some time of an outbreak, and increases in beetle-caused tree mortality at lower beetle population levels (as indicated by killed trees) were usually coincident with drought. Furthermore, drought was not required to maintain large outbreaks; in several locations, relief from drought during periods of high tree mortality did not cause subsequent declines in tree mortality. We did not find strong evidence that maladaptive seasonality, cold-induced mortality, or drought stress was responsible for decreases in tree mortality, suggesting the role of host depletion. Large variability in the relationships between climate or weather variables and outbreaks suggests that different climate and weather factors may have been limiting outbreaks at different times and that these factors did not influence beetle-caused tree mortality similarly among locations. Our results increase understanding of the climate and weather factors that influence beetle outbreaks and their variability in space and time and will lead to more accurate predictions of future patterns of outbreaks that consider future climate.","This research was supported by the USGS Climate Research and Development Program through the Western Mountain Initiative and the USFS Western Wildland Environmental threat Assessment Center.

Wildfires in the wildland-urban interface on the Colorado Front Range, resulting in thousands of homes burned and civilian fatalities, although devastating, are not without historical reference. These fires are consistent with the characteristics of large, damaging, interface fires that threaten communities across much of the western United States. Wildfires are inevitable, but the destruction of homes, ecosystems, and lives is not. We propose the principles of risk analysis to provide land management agencies, first responders, and affected communities who face the inevitability of wildfires the ability to reduce the potential for loss.

,pub.1073274282,10.5849/forsci.13-056,,,,Mountain Pine Beetle Voltinism and Life History Characteristics across Latitudinal and Elevational Gradients in the Western United States,"Substantial genetic variation in development time is known to exist among mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) populations across the western United States. The effect of this variation on geographic patterns in voltinism (generation time) and thermal requirements to produce specific voltinism pathways have not been investigated. The influence of voltinism on fitness traits, body size, and sex ratio is also unclear. We monitored mountain pine beetle voltinism, adult body size, sex ratio, and air temperatures at sites across latitudinal and elevational gradients in the western United States. With the exception of two sites at the coolest and warmest locations, the number of days required to complete a generation was similar. Thermal units required to achieve a generation, however, were significantly less for individuals at the coolest sites. Evolved adaptations explain this pattern, including developmental rates and thresholds that serve to synchronize cohorts and minimize cold-sensitive life stages in winter. These same adaptations reduce the capacity of mountain pine beetle at the warmest sites to take full advantage of increased thermal units, limiting the capacity for bivoltinism within the current realized distribution. Temperature was not correlated with adult size and sex ratio, and size was greatest in host trees other than lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl.). Our results provide baseline information for evaluating population responses in a changing climate.","Acknowledgments: We thank Ryan Bracewell, Leslie Brown, Andreana Cipollone, Matt Hansen, Justin Heavilin, Stacy Hishinuma, Leverett Hubbard, Michael I.

,pub.1042926799,10.1016/j.foreco.2013.07.061,,,,"Effect of increasing temperatures on the distribution of spruce beetle in Engelmann spruce forests of the Interior West, USA","The spruce beetle (Dendoctronus rufipennis) is a pervasive bark beetle indigenous to spruce (Picea spp.) forests of North America. In the last two decades outbreaks of spruce beetle have increased in severity and extent. Increasing temperatures have been implicated as they directly control beetle populations, potentially inciting endemic populations to build to epidemic (outbreak) proportions. However, stand structure and composition conditions will also influence beetle populations. We tested the effect of temperature variables (minimum cool season temperature and maximum warm season temperature), and habitat controls (structure and composition) on the prediction of spruce beetle presence/absence for 4198 Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii Parry ex. Engelm.) plots in the Interior West, USA. Predictions were applied to three global climate models (GCMs) for three time periods. While both temperature variables were important, results suggested habitat variables (spruce basal area and spruce composition) were more influential for the prediction of current beetle presence. Future beetle prevalence varied from 6.1% to 24.2% across GCMs and time periods. While both temperature variables increased over time, in some cases the increases were not proportional, which led to differential predictions of beetle population prevalence in space and time among GCMs. Habitat variables that characterized current spruce beetle susceptibility changed as future temperatures increased. Application of results to forest management will include adjusting monitoring programs to reflect the potential increased overall prevalence of the beetle, and modifying the characterization of high hazard spruce stands to reflect increasing beetle presence in stands with lower basal area and spruce composition than currently observed.","AcknowledgementsSara Goeking and Giorgio Vacchiano and two anonymous reviewers provided thoughtful comments on earlier drafts.

Our objective was to contribute to the understanding of forest carbon cycling by quantifying the amount of carbon in trees killed by two disturbance types, fires and bark beetles, in the western United States in recent decades. We combined existing spatial data sets of forest biomass, burn severity, and beetle-caused tree mortality to estimate the amount of aboveground and belowground carbon in killed trees across the region. We found that during 1984–2010, fires killed trees that contained 5–11 Tg C year−1 and during 1997–2010, beetles killed trees that contained 2–24 Tg C year−1, with more trees killed since 2000 than in earlier periods. Over their periods of record, amounts of carbon in trees killed by fires and by beetle outbreaks were similar, and together these disturbances killed trees representing 9% of the total tree carbon in western forests, a similar amount to harvesting. Fires killed more trees in lower-elevation forest types such as Douglas-fir than higher-elevation forest types, whereas bark beetle outbreaks also killed trees in higher-elevation forest types such as lodgepole pine and Engelmann spruce. Over 15% of the carbon in lodgepole pine and spruce/fir forest types was in trees killed by beetle outbreaks; other forest types had 5–10% of the carbon in killed trees. Our results document the importance of these natural disturbances in the carbon budget of the western United States.","Support was provided by the USGS Western Mountain Initiative (Award Number G09AC00337), Los Alamos National Laboratory (Subcontract Number 193703-1), NOAA (Award Number NA090AR4310194), the National Science Foundation (Award Number EAR-0910928), the USDA Forest Service Western Wildland Environmental Threat Assessment Center (Agreement Number PNW-08-JV-1126900-082), and NASA (Agreement Number NNX11AO24G S03).

However, management of distinct communities has long relied on a single aspen-to-conifer successional model. We examine a variety of aspen-dominated stand types in the western portion of its range as ecological systems, avoiding an exclusive focus on seral dynamics or single-species management. We build a case for a large-scale functional aspen typology based on the existing literature. Aspen functional types are defined as aspen communities that differ markedly in their physical and biological processes. The framework presented here describes two “functional types” and seven embedded “subtypes”: seral (boreal and montane), stable (parkland, Colorado Plateau, elevation and aspect limited, and terrain isolated), and a crossover seral-stable subtype (riparian). The assessment hinges on a matrix comparing proposed functional types across a suite of environmental characteristics. Differences among functional groups based on physiological and climatic conditions, stand structures and dynamics, and disturbance types and periodicity are described herein. We further examine management implications and challenges, such as human alterations, ungulate herbivory, and climate futures, that affect the functionality of these aspen systems. The functional framework lends itself well to stewardship and research that seek to understand and emulate ecological processes rather than combat them. We see advantages of applying this approach to other widespread forest communities that engender diverse functional adaptations.","Acknowledgments: Major funding for this project was provided by the US Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (agreement L10AS00341).

,pub.1015156086,10.1016/j.foreco.2012.12.033,,,,Recent declines of Populus tremuloides in North America linked to climate,"Populus tremuloides (trembling aspen) recently experienced extensive crown thinning, branch dieback, and mortality across North America. To investigate the role of climate, we developed a range-wide bioclimate model that characterizes climatic factors controlling distribution of aspen. We also examined indices of moisture stress, insect defoliation and other factors as potential causes of the decline. Historic climate records show that most decline regions experienced exceptionally severe drought preceding the recent episodes. The bioclimate model, driven primarily by maximum summer temperatures and April–September precipitation, shows that decline tended to occur in marginally suitable habitat, and that climatic suitability decreased markedly in the period leading up to decline in almost all decline regions. Other factors, notably multi-year defoliation by tent caterpillars (Malacosoma spp.) and stem damage by fungi and insects, also play a substantial role in decline episodes, and may amplify or prolong the impacts of moisture stress on aspen over large areas. Many severely affected stands have poor regeneration potential, raising concerns that increasing aridity could ultimately lead to widespread loss of aspen forest cover. The analysis indicates that exceptional droughts were a major cause of the decline episodes, especially in the drier regions, and that aspen is sensitive to drought in much of its range. Coupling the bioclimate model with climate projections suggests that we should expect substantial loss of suitable habitat within the current distribution, especially in the USA and Mexico.","Jeanine Paschke provided the FHTET “aspen decline rollup” and was very helpful in its interpretation.

,pub.1010462997,10.1016/j.foreco.2013.01.008,,,,How will aspen respond to mountain pine beetle? A review of literature and discussion of knowledge gaps,"There has been speculation that quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) dominance of forests will increase due to mortality caused by mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) (MPB). High aspen sucker densities have been observed in the years following MPB-caused pine mortality, but it remains unclear if this disturbance will result in a pulse of aspen recruitment to forest overstories. Many factors will affect aspen recruitment and overstory health. Surviving conifer overstory and advance regeneration will limit available light and other resources, potentially decreasing aspen suckering, growth, and survival. Following the creation of MPB-caused canopy openings, mortality rates of overstory aspen may increase due to exposure or damage by falling snags. Severe browsing damage may prevent suckers from successfully recruiting to the canopy where there are high domestic and/or wild ungulate densities, even where forest conditions promote aspen recruitment. Climate and weather variability will also mediate aspen response to MPB. Research that focuses specifically on effects of MPB-caused forest structure changes on aspen suckering, recruitment, and overstory health, and the potential for browsing and climate to interact with these effects, is needed to inform our understanding of how MPB-caused mortality will affect aspen in western North America.",AcknowledgementsDiscussions about aspen ecology with Wayne Shepperd were very helpful to the ideas presented in this review.

Successfully recruiting aspen sprouts and seedlings provide important sources of structural, functional and genetic diversity vital to resilient aspen forests. Chronic ungulate browsing of regenerating aspen can degrade aspen community structure and diversity. This simplifies food webs and can have negative implications for ecosystem resilience. This paper explores how patterns of ungulate herbivory in aspen forests are influenced by and affect bottom–up and top–down forces in aspen ecosystems. We outline management strategies aimed at decreasing ungulate and livestock impacts on aspen and increasing sprout survival and recruitment. The body of aspen research indicates that herbivory is more heterogeneous in areas that contain human hunters, predators, or fire on the landscape. The complexities of ungulate herbivory and fire on aspen ecosystems, especially in relation to scale, are imperfectly understood. Wildlife agencies responsible for elk (Cervus elaphus) and deer (Odocoileus spp.) populations should consider management strategies that use ungulate herbivory impacts on ecosystems such as aspen as indicators of sustainable herd densities. To increase aspen resilience in the face of current and future environmental change, we recommend a multi-faceted approach that involves enhancing bottom–up forces while decreasing top–down impacts from ungulates.","AcknowledgementsWe thank the High Lonesome Ranch of DeBeque, Colorado for their support of the presentation of this paper at the Resilience in Quaking Aspen: Restoring Ecosystem Process Through Applied Science symposium.

To complement experiments focused on resolving mechanisms of drought-induced tree mortality, an evaluation of how patterns of tree die-off relate to highly spatially variable precipitation is needed. Here, we explore precipitation relationships with a die-off event of pinyon pine (Pinus edulis Engelm.) in southwestern North America during the 2002-2003 global-change-type drought. Pinyon die-off and its relationship with precipitation was quantified spatially along a precipitation gradient in north-central New Mexico with standard field plot measurements of die-off combined with canopy cover derived from normalized burn ratio (NBR) from Landsat imagery. Pinyon die-off patterns revealed threshold responses to precipitation (cumulative 2002-2003) and vapor pressure deficit (VPD), with little to no mortality (< 10%) above 600 mm and below warm season VPD of c. 1.7 kPa. [Correction added after online publication 17 June 2013; in the preceding sentence, the word 'below' has been inserted.] Our results refine how precipitation patterns within a region influence pinyon die-off, revealing a precipitation and VPD threshold for tree mortality and its uncertainty band where other factors probably come into play - a response type that influences stand demography and landscape heterogeneity and is of general interest, yet has not been documented.","We thank J.

In both N orth A merica and E urope, however, aspen stands are threatened by a variety of human impacts: clear felling, land development, water diversion, fire suppression and both wild and domestic ungulate herbivory. We conducted a landscape assessment of quaking aspen (  P opulus tremuloides  ) for the purpose of identifying key components of resilience. Specifically, we tested novel measures linking plant–animal interactions, compared crucial functional differences in aspen types and made restorative recommendations based on the outcome of these assessments.    Location  Book C liffs region, eastern U tah and western C olorado, USA .    Methods  Seventy‐seven 1‐ha plots were sampled for forest structure, composition, regeneration and recruitment, landscape elements, browse level and herbivore use. Use was determined by counting the number of pellet groups from ungulate species at each sample location. We tested the efficacy of a visual stand condition rating system when compared to objective metrics. A series of non‐parametric analyses were used to compare functional aspen types and stand condition groups by key variables. Non‐metric multidimensional scaling ( NMS ) allowed us to explore all our data to find the most critical measures of aspen stand conditions for the purpose of better informing future aspen monitoring.    Results Plots differed significantly in seral or stable aspen functional types, stand condition rating and browse species use. Ordination analysis revealed that regeneration level and herbivore use were the strongest objective indicators of aspen stand conditions, while stand condition rating proved a valuable subjective index of forest status. While ungulate herbivory of aspen is problematic internationally, our results show acute impacts where moderate slopes, relatively low water availability and intense browsing predominate.   Conclusions Appropriate measures for aspen communities, informed by crucial functional divisions, allowed us to gain a clear understanding of conditions across this large landscape. Overall, aspen in our study landscape is highly vulnerable to collapse due to narrow physiographic and climate limitations and browse levels. Without herbivory reduction, future conservation in such areas will be strained and widespread system failure may occur.","Major funding for this project was provided by the USDI Bureau of Land Management, agreement number L10AS00341.

                  Rapid and broad-scale forest mortality associated with recent droughts, rising temperature, and insect outbreaks has been observed over western North America (NA). Climate models project additional future warming and increasing drought and water stress for this region. To assess future potential changes in vegetation distributions in western NA, the Community Earth System Model (CESM) coupled with its Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (DGVM) was used under the future A2 emissions scenario. To better span uncertainties in future climate, eight sea surface temperature (SST) projections provided by phase 3 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3) were employed as boundary conditions. There is a broad consensus among the simulations, despite differences in the simulated climate trajectories across the ensemble, that about half of the needleleaf evergreen tree coverage (from 24% to 11%) will disappear, coincident with a 14% (from 11% to 25%) increase in shrubs and grasses by the end of the twenty-first century in western NA, with most of the change occurring over the latter half of the twenty-first century. The net impact is a ~6 GtC or about 50% decrease in projected ecosystem carbon storage in this region. The findings suggest a potential for a widespread shift from tree-dominated landscapes to shrub and grass-dominated landscapes in western NA because of future warming and consequent increases in water deficits. These results highlight the need for improved process-based understanding of vegetation dynamics, particularly including mortality and the subsequent incorporation of these mechanisms into earth system models to better quantify the vulnerability of western NA forests under climate change.",We thank A.

,pub.1045821656,10.1111/jbi.12115,,,,Continental‐scale assessment of genetic diversity and population structure in quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides),"Abstract  Aim  Quaking aspen (  P opulus tremuloides  ) has the largest natural distribution of any tree native to North America. The primary objectives of this study were to characterize range‐wide genetic diversity and genetic structuring in quaking aspen, and to assess the influence of glacial history and rear‐edge dynamics.    Location North America.   Methods Using a sample set representing the full longitudinal and latitudinal extent of the species’ distribution, we examined geographical patterns of genetic diversity and structuring using 8 nuclear microsatellite loci in 794 individuals from 30 sampling sites.   Results Two major genetic clusters were identified across the range: a south‐western cluster and a northern cluster. The south‐western cluster, which included two subclusters, was bounded approximately by the Continental Divide to the east and the southern extent of the ice sheet at the Last Glacial Maximum to the north. Subclusters were not detected in the northern cluster, despite its continent‐wide distribution. Genetic distance was significantly correlated with geographical distance in the south‐western but not the northern cluster, and allelic richness was significantly lower in south‐western sampling sites compared with northern sampling sites. Population structuring was low overall, but elevated in the south‐western cluster.   Main conclusions  Aspen populations in the south‐western portion of the range are consistent with expectations for a historically stable edge, with low within‐population diversity, significant geographical population structuring, and little evidence of northward expansion. Structuring within the south‐western cluster may result from distinct gene pools separated during the Pleistocene and reunited following glacial retreat, similar to patterns found in other forest tree species in the western USA . In aspen, populations in the south‐western portion of the species range are thought to be at particularly high risk of mortality with climate change. Our findings suggest that these same populations may be disproportionately valuable in terms of both evolutionary potential and conservation value.","We would like to thank James Long and Paul Wolf for their involvement in this project.

,pub.1035794691,10.1890/11-1982.1,23634592,,,An innovative aerial assessment of Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem mountain pine beetle‐caused whitebark pine mortality,"An innovative aerial survey method called the Landscape Assessment System (LAS) was used to assess mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae)-caused mortality of whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) across the species distribution in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE; 894 774 ha). This large-scale implementation of the LAS method consisted of 8673 km of flight lines, along which 4653 geo-tagged, oblique aerial photos were captured at the catchment level (a subset of 12-digit USGS hydrologic units) and geographic information system (GIS) processed. The Mountain Pine Beetle-caused Mortality Rating System, a landscape-scale classification system designed specifically to measure the cumulative effects of recent and older MPB attacks on whitebark pine, was used to classify mortality with a rating from 0 to 6 based on the amount of red (recent attack) and gray (old attack) trees visible. The approach achieved a photo inventory of 79% of the GYE whitebark pine distribution. For the remaining 21%, mortality levels were estimated based on an interpolated surface. Results that combine the photo-inventoried and interpolated mortality indicate that nearly half (46%) of the GYE whitebark pine distribution showed severe mortality (3-4 or 5.3-5.4 rating), 36% showed moderate mortality (2-2.9 rating), 13% showed low mortality (1-1.9 rating), and 5% showed trace levels of mortality (0-0.9). These results reveal that the proliferation of MPB in the subalpine zone of the GYE due to climate warming has led to whitebark pine mortality that is more severe and widespread than indicated from either previous modeling research or USDA Forest Service Aerial Detection surveys. Sixteen of the 22 major mountain ranges of the GYE have experienced widespread moderate-to-severe mortality. The majority of catchments in the other six mountain ranges show low-to-moderate mortality. Refugia from MPB outbreaks, at least for now, also exist and correspond to locations that have colder microclimates. The spatially explicit mortality information produced by this project has helped forest managers develop and implement conservation strategies that include both preservation and restoration efforts. Future research aimed at documenting and quantifying the ecological impacts of widespread decline and collapse of this foundation and keystone species is warranted.","We thank the GYCC Whitebark Pine Subcommittee, USDA Forest Service Forest Health Protection, and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) for generous support.

The study had four replicated treatments (40 × 40 m plot/replicate): removal of 45% of ambient annual precipitation (H2 O-); irrigation to produce 125% of ambient annual precipitation (H2 O+); a drought control (C) to quantify the impact of the drought infrastructure; and ambient precipitation (A). Piñon began dying 1 yr after drought initiation, with higher mortality in the H2 O- treatment relative to other treatments. Beetles (bark/twig) were present in 92% of dead trees. Resin duct density and area were more strongly affected by treatments and more strongly associated with piñon mortality than direct measurements of resin flow. For juniper, treatments had no effect on insect resistance or attacks, but needle browning was highest in the H2 O- treatment. Our results provide strong evidence that ≥ 1 yr of severe drought predisposes piñon to insect attacks and increases mortality, whereas 3 yr of the same drought causes partial canopy loss in juniper.","Thanks to K.

,pub.1012174384,10.1073/pnas.1216666110,23277541,PMC3568305,,Temperature-driven range expansion of an irruptive insect heightened by weakly coevolved plant defenses,"Warming climate has increased access of native bark beetles to high-elevation pines that historically received only intermittent exposure to these tree-killing herbivores. Here we show that a dominant, relatively naïve, high-elevation species, whitebark pine, has inferior defenses against mountain pine beetle compared with its historical lower-elevation host, lodgepole pine. Lodgepole pines respond by exuding more resin and accumulating higher concentrations of toxic monoterpenes than whitebark pine, where they co-occur. Furthermore, the chemical composition of whitebark pine appears less able to inhibit the pheromonal communication beetles use to jointly overcome tree defenses. Despite whitebark pine's inferior defenses, beetles were more likely to attack their historical host in mixed stands. This finding suggests there has been insufficient sustained contact for beetles to alter their complex behavioral mechanisms driving host preference. In no-choice assays, however, beetles readily entered and tunneled in both hosts equally, and in stands containing less lodgepole pine, attacks on whitebark pines increased. High-elevation trees in pure stands may thus be particularly vulnerable to temperature-driven range expansions. Predators and competitors were more attracted to volatiles from herbivores attacking their historical host, further increasing risk in less coevolved systems. Our results suggest cold temperatures provided a sufficient barrier against herbivores for high-elevation trees to allocate resources to other physiological processes besides defense. Changing climate may reduce the viability of that evolutionary strategy, and the life histories of high-elevation trees seem unlikely to foster rapid counter adaptation. Consequences extend from reduced food supplies for endangered grizzly bears to altered landscape and hydrological processes.","We thank the National Park Service and University of Wyoming-National Park Service Research Center for site access and lodging; Megan Fork, Katherine Molter, Christopher Foelker, Melissa Greulich, Andrew Long, John Muller, Christopher Pennings, Hannah Manninen, Hannah Hubanks, Ryan Sword, and Austin Pethan for field assistance; and Claudio Gratton and three anonymous reviewers for critical review.

,pub.1052331026,10.1890/11-1055.1,23185879,,,Spatiotemporal patterns of mountain pine beetle activity in the southern Rocky Mountains,"The current mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae) outbreak in the southern Rocky Mountains has impacted approximately 750 000 ha of forest. Weather and habitat heterogeneity influence forest insect population dynamics at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Comparison of forest insect population dynamics in two principal host species may elucidate the relative contribution of weather and landscape factors in initiating and driving extensive outbreaks. To investigate potential drivers of the current MPB outbreak, we compared broadscale spatiotemporal patterns of MPB activity in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) from 1996 to 2010 in Colorado and southern Wyoming with regional weather fluctuations, and then tracked the annual meso-scale progression of the epidemic in lodgepole pine with respect to weather, topographic, previous MPB activity, and forest stand attributes. MPB activity in lodgepole pine compared to ponderosa pine showed higher magnitude and extent of spatial synchrony. Warm temperatures and low annual precipitation favorable to beetle populations showed high regional synchrony across areas of both pine species, suggesting that habitat interacts with weather in synchronizing MPB populations. Cluster analysis of time series patterns identified multiple, disjunct locations of incipient MPB activity (epicenters) in lodgepole pine, which overlapped an earlier 1980s MPB outbreak, and suggests a regional trigger (drought) across this homogenous forest type. Negative departures from mean annual precipitation played a key role in subsequent spread of MPB outbreak. Development of the outbreak was also associated with lower elevations, greater dominance by lodgepole pine, stands of larger tree size, and stands with higher percentage canopy cover. After epidemic levels of MPB activity were attained, MPB activity was less strongly associated with stand and weather variables. These results emphasize the importance of considering differences in patterns of MPB dynamics for different host pine species even under similar regional-scale weather variation and the nonstationarity of outbreak dynamics over time.",We thank the USDA Forest Service and Rocky Mountain National Park for providing GIS data for this project.

As a result, agencies responsible for forest management in the United States and British Columbia conduct aerial surveys to map these forest disturbances. Here we combined aerial surveys from British Columbia (2001 2010) and the western conterminous United States (1997-2010), produced 1-km2 grids of the area of crown mortality from bark beetle attack, and analyzed spatial and temporal patterns. We converted aerial-survey polygon data for each combination of host type and bark beetle species available in the western United States, and for each bark beetle species available in British Columbia. We converted affected area (which includes live and killed trees) to mortality area (crown area of killed trees) using species-specific crown diameters and the number (U.S.) or percentage (British Columbia) of killed trees. In the United States we also produced an upper estimate of mortality area by forcing the mortality area to match that from high-resolution imagery in Idaho, Colorado, and New Mexico. Resulting adjustment factors of 3.7-20.9 illustrate the underestimate of mortality by the U.S. aerial surveys. The upper estimate, which we suggest is more realistic, better matched the spatial patterns and severity of the British Columbia mortality area. Cumulative mortality area from all bark beetles was 5.46 Mha in British Columbia in 2001-2010 and 0.47-5.37 Mha (lower and upper estimate) in the western conterminous United States during 1997-2010. We note that we report year of detection here; studies that consider year of tree mortality should shift the time series back one year. We conclude by discussing uses and limitations of these data in ecological studies, including uncertainties associated with assumptions in the methods, lack of complete coverage by surveys, and the subjective nature of the survey databases.","This research was supported by NOAA grant NA09OAR4310194, NSF ETBC grant 0910831, DOE funding, and the USDA Forest Service Western Wildland Environmental Threat Assessment Center.

,pub.1030167016,10.1016/j.foreco.2012.07.004,,,,Populus tremuloides mortality near the southwestern edge of its range,"Mortality and crown dieback of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) were extensive on the Williams Ranger District, Kaibab National Forest in northern Arizona. We collected data from a random sample of 48 aspen sites to determine the relationship of predisposing site and stand factors and contributing agents to ramet mortality. Mortality of overstory (⩾10.1cm DBH) aspen stems averaged 50% (44% by basal area). Pine–oak type aspen stands suffered greater basal area mortality (57%) than stands in mixed conifer type (38%). An average of 48% of live overstory aspen stems had>33% crown dieback, and mortality significantly increased with increasing crown dieback. Based upon univariate relationships, elevation was the most significant site factor and relative conifer basal area was the most significant stand factor related to overstory mortality. Canker diseases and wood-boring insects were significantly related to overstory mortality. Sapling (⩾5.1–10.1cm DBH) and tall regeneration (<5.1cm DBH) aspen mortality were high (>80% and 70%, respectively), while short regeneration (<1.37m tall) mortality was low (16%). Many sites did not have live aspen sapling or tall regeneration stems; therefore, relationships were often inconclusive or weak. Based on a null size–density model, there was a lack of tall regeneration, sapling, and 10.1–15cm DBH overstory aspen recruitment. Multiple regression was used to explore multivariate relationships among aspen mortality and site, stand, and damaging agent factors. Forest type, relative conifer basal area, and incidence of canker diseases and wood-boring insects were significantly associated with overstory mortality. Slope, relative conifer density, and incidence of animal damages were significantly associated with short regeneration mortality. Ungulate damages to aspen stems were common across all size classes, but significant relationships were limited to short regeneration mortality. The Southwest is forecasted to transition to a more arid climate, and aspen in pine–oak sites are already experiencing a population crash. If high mortality and low recruitment continues, conifer will replace aspen stands after overstory aspen stems die.","AcknowledgementsWe thank Daniel C.

,pub.1000006981,10.1038/nclimate1693,,,,Temperature as a potent driver of regional forest drought stress and tree mortality,"As the climate changes, drought may reduce tree productivity and survival across many forest ecosystems; however, the relative influence of specific climate parameters on forest decline is poorly understood. We derive a forest drought-stress index (FDSI) for the southwestern United States using a comprehensive tree-ring data set representing AD 1000–2007. The FDSI is approximately equally influenced by the warm-season vapour-pressure deficit (largely controlled by temperature) and cold-season precipitation, together explaining 82% of the FDSI variability. Correspondence between the FDSI and measures of forest productivity, mortality, bark-beetle outbreak and wildfire validate the FDSI as a holistic forest-vigour indicator. If the vapour-pressure deficit continues increasing as projected by climate models, the mean forest drought-stress by the 2050s will exceed that of the most severe droughts in the past 1,000 years. Collectively, the results foreshadow twenty-first-century changes in forest structures and compositions, with transition of forests in the southwestern United States, and perhaps water-limited forests globally, towards distributions unfamiliar to modern civilization.","The work was supported by LANL-LDRD and DOE-BER.

,pub.1019197141,10.1890/110173,,,,Cascading impacts of bark beetle‐caused tree mortality on coupled biogeophysical and biogeochemical processes,"Recent, large‐scale outbreaks of bark beetle infestations have affected millions of hectares of forest in western North America, covering an area similar in size to that impacted by fire. Bark beetles kill host trees in affected areas, thereby altering water supply, carbon storage, and nutrient cycling in forests; for example, the timing and amount of snow melt may be substantially modified following bark beetle infestation, which impacts water resources for many western US states. The quality of water from infested forests may also be diminished as a result of increased nutrient export. Understanding the impacts of bark beetle outbreaks on forest ecosystems is therefore important for resource management. Here, we develop a conceptual framework of the impacts on coupled biogeophysical and biogeochemical processes following a mountain pine beetle ( Dendroctonus ponderosae ) outbreak in lodgepole pine ( Pinus contorta Douglas var latifolia ) forests in the weeks to decades after an infestation, and highlight future research needs and management implications of this widespread disturbance event.","We thank N Brown, J Frank, D King, and D Reed from the University of Wyoming; J Biederman and A Harpold from the University of Arizona; and B Bright, E Creeden, and K Kavanagh from the University of Idaho for valuable insights and reviews.

,pub.1025970926,10.1111/j.1654-1103.2012.01437.x,,,,Compounded disturbances in sub‐alpine forests in western Colorado favour future dominance by quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides),"Abstract  Question As the extent, magnitude and/or frequency of various forest disturbances are increasing due to climate change, it is becoming increasingly likely that forests may be affected by more than one type of disturbance in short succession. We studied how compounded disturbances and pre‐fire composition influence post‐fire tree regeneration. Specifically, do compounded disturbances reduce overall regeneration and favour initial dominance of species that regenerate vegetatively?   Location  Sub‐alpine forests in northwestern C olorado.    Methods  The study region was affected by a severe outbreak of  D endroctonus rufipennis  in the 1940s, a severe wind storm in 1997 and severe fires in 2002. Permanent plots to monitor regeneration were established in 2003 and were re‐measured in 2004, 2005 and 2010. Plots were located in stands that varied in long‐term disturbance history (stands that originated following fires in 1879 or 1880 vs older stands), recent disturbance history (fire only; outbreak then fire; blowdown then fire) and pre‐fire forest dominance (  P opulus tremuloides, P inus contorta,  or  P icea engelmannii– A bies lasiocarpa  ).    Results  Combined density of regeneration of all tree species was highest in stands dominated by  P . tremuloides  prior to the 2002 fires. In  P . contorta  stands that were affected only by the 2002 fires, regeneration density was higher in stands that were younger prior to the fire (those that originated in the 1880s), in which cone serotiny is more prevalent, than in older stands (those that originated >200 yr ago). However, the advantage of relatively young  P . contorta  stands to regenerate following fire was inhibited by compounded disturbances of wind and then fire. Similarly, following compounded disturbances the combined density of conifer seedlings of all species was lower than following only fire. In contrast, the density of  P . tremuloides  was not lower following compounded disturbances than following fire only, and was higher than that of other species.    Conclusions  Pre‐fire forest composition and disturbance history influence the abundance and composition of post‐fire regeneration. Compounded disturbances generally reduce the regeneration of conifers, which regenerate exclusively from seed, and appear to favour initial stand dominance by  P . tremuloides  , which regenerates both sexually and asexually. Such differential effects may thereby alter trajectories of post‐fire regeneration. As  P . tremuloides  are less susceptible than conifers to fires, bark beetle outbreaks and wind disturbances, increased dominance by  P . tremuloides  may contribute to a negative feedback that may diminish the probability and/or severity of future disturbances and thus increase overall forest ecosystem resiliency.","This work was supported by the Joint Fire Science Program and the National Science Foundation Awards number 0743351 and 0743498.

These effects are of particular concern in forests of western North America, where intensive herbivory by native and domestic ungulates has the potential to substantially reduce or eliminate deciduous, highly palatable species of aspen (Populus tremuloides), cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa), and willow (Salix spp.). In turn, differential herbivory pressure may favor greater establishment of unpalatable conifers that serve as ladder fuels for stand-replacing fires. The resulting high fuel loads often require silvicultural fuels reductions to mitigate fire risk, which in turn may facilitate additional recruitment of deciduous species but also additional herbivory pressure. Potential interactions of ungulate herbivory with episodic disturbances of silviculture, fire, and other land uses are not well documented, but are thought to operate synergistically to affect forest dynamics. We evaluated individual and joint effects of ungulate herbivory and fuels reduction treatments in grand fir (Abies grandis) and Douglas-fir (Psuedotsuga menziezii) forests that dominate large areas of interior western North America. We applied fuels reduction treatments of mechanical thinning and prescribed fire and then evaluated the responses of aspen, cottonwood, and willow species to these treatments (N=3) versus areas of no treatment (N=3), and to exclusion from ungulate herbivory versus areas subjected to extant herbivory by free-ranging cattle (Bos taurus), elk (Cervus elaphus), and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus). Densities of deciduous species were >4 times higher in response to fuels reduction treatments (84.4individuals/ha) compared to areas of no treatment (19.7individuals/ha). Additionally, when ungulates were excluded from fuels treated sites, the density of cottonwood was >5 times higher (122.5individuals/ha) than fuels treated sites subjected to extant herbivory (24.3individuals/ha). Similarly, densities of Populus spp. and Salix spp. were >3 times higher (211.6individuals/ha) on fuels treated sites excluded from ungulate herbivory versus fuels treated sites subjected to extant herbivory (66.1stems/ha). Deciduous species subjected to extant ungulate herbivory also were significantly lower in height, canopy surface area, and canopy volume than the same species inside the ungulate exclosures. Recruitment and long-term survival of aspen, cottonwood, and willow species in coniferous forests of interior western North America require a combination of episodic disturbances such as silviculture and fire to facilitate deciduous plant recruitment, followed by reductions in grazing pressure by domestic and wild ungulates during the time intervals between episodic disturbances to facilitate plant establishment, growth and survival.","AcknowledgmentsWe thank 12 summer technicians who helped collect field data for our work.

Recent observations indicate a sudden onset and rapid progression of quaking aspen dieback in the western United States, which may be climatically driven. We used dendroecological methods to test how climatic variability influences aspen grown and mortality in northwestern Colorado and southern Wyoming. Recent growth and mortality of quaking aspen is strongly associated with climatic variation in this region. In stands undergoing recent aspen dieback (1) the growth of aspen was inhibited by warm temperatures, except at the highest elevations (2) the growth of aspen that died was more sensitive to temperature variation prior to mortality than the growth of living aspen, (3) mortality of aspen was preceded by multiple years of reduced growth, and (4) the frequency of mortality was associated with multiple years of drought as indicated by negative PDSI values. The results of this study suggest that the recent widespread mortality of aspen is strongly associated with recent climatic conditions.","AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by the National Science Foundation.

,pub.1044448537,10.1016/j.foreco.2011.12.024,,,,"Historic and future extent of wildfires in the Southern Rockies Ecoregion, USA","Wildfires play a formative role in the processes that have created the ecosystems of the Southern Rockies Ecoregion (SRE). The extent of wildfires is influenced mainly by precipitation and temperature, which control biomass growth and fuel moisture. Forecasts of climate change in the SRE show an increase in temperatures, bringing warmer springs with earlier runoff and longer fire seasons. Increasing wildfire extent and intensity would affect human safety, livelihoods, and landscapes. Our summary of historical wildfire records from the national forests of the SRE from 1930 to 2006 revealed an order of magnitude increase in the annual number of fires recorded over the full time period and in the number of large fires since 1970. We developed a model of percent burned area in the SRE for the period 1970–2006 using temperature and precipitation variables (R2=0.51, p=1.7E-05). We applied this model to predict percent burned area using data from two downscaled global circulation models (GCMs), for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report Emissions Scenarios A2 (projects high increases in temperature) and B1 (projects lower temperature increases), for the time period 2010–2070. The results showed increasing trends in median burned areas for all scenarios and GCM combinations with higher increases for the B1 scenario. The results suggest that precipitation increases could at least partially compensate for the effect of temperature increases on burned area but the strength of this ameliorating effect of precipitation will remain uncertain until the GCMs are further developed.","AcknowledgmentsThis research was supported in part by funds from the Rocky Mountain Research Station, US Forest Service.

This recent range expansion from west of the North American continental divide into the eastern boreal forest threatens to provide a conduit to naïve pine hosts in eastern North America. We examine the initial expansion events and determine potential mechanism(s) of spread by comparing spread patterns in consecutive years to various dispersal hypotheses such as: (1) meso‐scale atmospheric dispersal of insects from source populations south‐west of the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia (i.e. their historical range), (2) anthropogenic transport of infested plant material, and (3) spread of insect populations across adjacent stands via corridors of suitable habitat.   Location  British Columbia, Canada.   Methods  We explore potential mechanism(s) of invasion of the mountain pine beetle using spatial point process models for the initial 3 years of landscape‐level data collection, 2004–2006. Specifically, we examine observed patterns of infestation relative to covariates reflecting various dispersal hypotheses. We select the most parsimonious models for each of the initial 3 years of invasion using information criteria statistics.   Results  The initial range expansion and invasion of the beetle was characterized by aerial deposition along a strong north‐west to south‐east gradient, with additional aerial deposition and localized dispersal from persisting populations in following years.   Main conclusions  Following deposition of a wave front of mountain pine beetles parallel to the Rocky Mountains via meso‐scale atmospheric dispersal, the areas of highest intensity of infestations advanced up to 25 km north‐east towards jack pine ( Pinus banksiana ) habitat in a single year. There appeared to be no association between putative anthropogenic movement of infested materials and initial range expansion of the mountain pine beetle across the continental divide.","Acknowledgements Funding for this study was provided by the Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative of Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service, NSERC, the TRIA project supported by Genome British Columbia, Genome Alberta, and Genome Canada, and Pacific Forestry Centre Graduate Student and Association of Professional Biologists Scholarships to H.M.G.

Techniques were incorporated to accommodate a large number of classes and to predict the future occurrence of climates beyond the contemporary climatic range of the biomes. Errors of prediction from the statistical model averaged 3.7%, but for individual biomes, ranged from 0% to 21.5%. In validating the ability of the model to identify climates without analogs, 78% of 1528 locations outside North America and 81% of land area of the Caribbean Islands were predicted to have no analogs among the 46 biomes. Biome climates were projected into the future according to low and high greenhouse gas emission scenarios of three General Circulation Models for three periods, the decades surrounding 2030, 2060, and 2090. Prominent in the projections were (1) expansion of climates suitable for the tropical dry deciduous forests of Mexico, (2) expansion of climates typifying desertscrub biomes of western USA and northern Mexico, (3) stability of climates typifying the evergreen-deciduous forests of eastern USA, and (4) northward expansion of climates suited to temperate forests, Great Plains grasslands, and montane forests to the detriment of taiga and tundra climates. Maps indicating either poor agreement among projections or climates without contemporary analogs identify geographic areas where land management programs would be most equivocal. Concentrating efforts and resources where projections are more certain can assure land managers a greater likelihood of success.","We are indebted to numerous colleagues in several disciplines.

,pub.1021897925,10.1016/j.foreco.2011.09.035,,,,Forest structure and regeneration following a mountain pine beetle epidemic in southeastern Wyoming,"Rocky Mountain forests are currently experiencing a bark beetle epidemic of unprecedented severity and extent. Forest regeneration following bark beetle outbreaks is driven by the survival and density of understory trees (advance regeneration). The composition and density of the advance regeneration may differ substantially from the pre-outbreak overstory and across environmental gradients. We characterized and compared the density and species composition of advance regeneration, residual overstory, and pre-outbreak overstory in stands with varying lodgepole pine density and mortality following a massive mountain pine beetle outbreak in the Medicine Bow Range of Wyoming. Additionally, we examined the influence of moisture conditions, outbreak intensity, and stand characteristics on advance regeneration within these stands. While lodgepole pine experienced considerable mortality, it was still the dominant species in the overstory. Subalpine fir was the dominant species in the advance regeneration. Relative species density of the advance regeneration differed from the pre-outbreak overstory, demonstrating a significant shift towards subalpine fir dominance. Three different lodgepole pine forest types (pure lodgepole pine, aspen-influenced, and spruce-fir) were found prior to the outbreak in the Medicine Bow Range. In general, species composition of the advance regeneration was of the same forest type as the pre-outbreak overstory, indicating that there was very little shift between forest types within individual stands following the outbreak. However, the relative species density of the advance regeneration differed from the pre-outbreak overstory in the spruce-fir and the aspen-influenced forests types, with a much smaller proportion of lodgepole pine occurring in the advanced regeneration. Relative species densities of advance regeneration and residual overstory varied across local moisture conditions and pre-outbreak and lodgepole pine overstory density but not outbreak intensity. Subalpine fir and Engelmann spruce comprised a greater proportion of the overstory and understory in wetter stands while lodgepole pine was a greater proportion on the drier stands. Advance regeneration density was negatively correlated with pre-outbreak and lodgepole pine overstory density and basal area, except for lodgepole pine advance regeneration density which had a weak positive relationship. Succession trajectories are altered in both pure lodgepole pine stands and spruce-fir stands. Based on the density of advance regeneration compared to the pre-outbreak canopy, advance regeneration appears to be a suitable means for regenerating stands following mountain pine beetle outbreaks in the Medicine Bow Range. Relying on advance regeneration may increase heterogeneity in forest structure that may make these forests more resistant to mountain pine beetle attacks in the future.","AcknowledgementsThis project was funded by a University of Wyoming NASA Space Grant Consortium Faculty Research Grant.

Forest die-off constitutes a large uncertainty in projections of climate impacts on terrestrial ecosystems, climate-ecosystem interactions, and carbon-cycle feedbacks. Current understanding of the physiological mechanisms mediating climate-induced forest mortality limits the ability to model or project these threshold events. We report here a direct and in situ study of the mechanisms underlying recent widespread and climate-induced trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) forest mortality in western North America. We find substantial evidence of hydraulic failure of roots and branches linked to landscape patterns of canopy and root mortality in this species. On the contrary, we find no evidence that drought stress led to depletion of carbohydrate reserves. Our results illuminate proximate mechanisms underpinning recent aspen forest mortality and provide guidance for understanding and projecting forest die-offs under climate change.","We thank E.

,pub.1049402368,10.1111/j.1365-2486.2011.02592.x,,,,Large drought‐induced aboveground live biomass losses in southern Rocky Mountain aspen forests,"Abstract  Widespread drought‐induced forest mortality has been documented across multiple tree species in N orth A merica in recent decades, but it is a poorly understood component in terrestrial carbon (C) budgets. Recent severe drought in concert with elevated temperature likely triggered widespread forest mortality of trembling aspen (  P  opulus tremuloides ), the most widely distributed tree species in N orth A merica. The impact on the regional C budgets and spatial pattern of this drought‐induced tree mortality, which has been termed ‘sudden aspen decline ( SAD )’, is not well known and could contribute to increased regional C emissions, an amplifying feedback to climate change. We conducted a regional assessment of drought‐induced live aboveground biomass ( AGB ) loss from SAD across 915 km 2 of southwestern C olorado, USA , and investigated the influence of topography on the severity of mortality by combining field measures, remotely sensed nonphotosynthetically active vegetation and a digital elevation model. Mean [± standard deviation ( SD )] remote sensing estimate of live AGB loss was 60.3 ± 37.3 Mg ha −1 , which was 30.7% of field measured AGB , totaling 2.7 Tg of potential C emissions from this dieback event. Aspen forest health could be generally categorized as healthy (0–30% field measured canopy dieback), intermediate (31–50%), and SAD (51–100%), with the remote sensing estimated mean (±  SD ) live AGB losses of 26.4 ± 15.1, 64.5 ± 9.2, and 108.5 ± 24.0 Mg ha −1 , respectively. There was a pronounced clustering pattern of SAD on south‐facing slopes due to relatively drier and warmer conditions, but no apparent spatial gradient was found for elevation and slope. This study demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing remote sensing to assess the ramification of climate‐induced forest mortality on ecosystems and suggests promising opportunities for systematic large‐scale C dynamics monitoring of tree dieback, which would improve estimates of C budgets of N orth A merica with climate change.","Acknowledgements We thank J.

,pub.1043321312,10.1139/x11-106,,,,"Secondary insects and diseases contribute to sudden aspen decline in southwestern Colorado, USA","Reports of drought-associated forest mortality have increased around the world, but the mechanisms of mortality are rarely direct in nature. Biotic agents may kill trees that could otherwise recover and can perpetuate and expand mortality after the stress is relieved. Sudden aspen decline (SAD) has caused rapid, widespread branch dieback and mortality of quaking aspen ( Populus tremuloides Michx.). We compared insects and diseases in 162 damaged and neighboring healthy plots to determine contributing factors and their ecological roles. Cytospora canker, bronze poplar borer, and aspen bark beetles were the most common agents in damaged plots and correlated with crown loss and other factors related to SAD. This was the first documented outbreak of Trypophloeus populi , an aspen bark beetle. As bark beetles and bronze poplar borer increased in damaged stands, they tended to attack trees with healthier crowns. Environmental stress may have directly affected the success of these agents by increasing host susceptibility followed by a density-dependent increase in the insects’ invasive ability. In contrast, Cytospora canker had an identical relationship to crown loss in healthy versus damaged plots, suggesting that it was not limited by inoculum but responded to host susceptibility. Most other pathogens and insects contributed little to SAD and appear to be primary or weakening agents. The biotic agents of mortality in a decline differ greatly from primary agents and play complex and varied roles in healthy versus declining stands.","This work was supported in part by the USDA Forest Service, Forest Health Monitoring, Evaluation Monitoring Program.

,pub.1003000252,10.1890/10-1077.1,,,,Causes and implications of the correlation between forest productivity and tree mortality rates,"At global and regional scales, tree mortality rates are positively correlated with forest net primary productivity (NPP). Yet causes of the correlation are unknown, in spite of potentially profound implications for our understanding of environmental controls of forest structure and dynamics and, more generally, our understanding of broad‐scale environmental controls of population dynamics and ecosystem processes. Here we seek to shed light on the causes of geographic patterns in tree mortality rates, and we consider some implications of the positive correlation between mortality rates and NPP. To reach these ends, we present seven hypotheses potentially explaining the correlation, develop an approach to help distinguish among the hypotheses, and apply the approach in a case study comparing a tropical and temperate forest. Based on our case study and literature synthesis, we conclude that no single mechanism controls geographic patterns of tree mortality rates. At least four different mechanisms may be at play, with the dominant mechanisms depending on whether the underlying productivity gradients are caused by climate or soil fertility. Two of the mechanisms are consequences of environmental selection for certain combinations of life‐history traits, reflecting trade‐offs between growth and defense (along edaphic productivity gradients) and between reproduction and persistence (as manifested in the adult tree stature continuum along climatic and edaphic gradients). The remaining two mechanisms are consequences of environmental influences on the nature and strength of ecological interactions: competition (along edaphic gradients) and pressure from plant enemies (along climatic gradients). For only one of these four mechanisms, competition, can high mortality rates be considered to be a relatively direct consequence of high NPP. The remaining mechanisms force us to adopt a different view of causality, in which tree growth rates and probability of mortality can vary with at least a degree of independence along productivity gradients. In many cases, rather than being a direct cause of high mortality rates, NPP may remain high in spite of high mortality rates. The independent influence of plant enemies and other factors helps explain why forest biomass can show little correlation, or even negative correlation, with forest NPP.","We thank Jérôme Chave, David Clark, Phyllis Coley, Richard Condit, Adrian Das, Monica Geber, Jon Keeley, Andrew Larson, Egbert Leigh, Jr., David Peterson, Catherine Pfister, Douglas Sheil, Mark Swanson, Steven Voelker, and several anonymous reviewers for helpful discussions or comments on manuscript drafts.

We show that declining snowpack strengthens the impacts of a generalist herbivore, elk (Cervus elaphus), on a common tree species. Thick snowpack substantially reduces elk visitation to sites; aspen (Populus tremuloides) shoots in these areas experience lower browsing rates, higher survival and enhanced recruitment. Aspen inside herbivore exclosures have greatly increased recruitment, particularly at sites with thick snowpack. We suggest that long-term decreases in snowpack could help explain a widespread decline of aspen through previously unconsidered relationships. More generally, reduced snowpack across the Rocky Mountains, combined with rising elk populations, may remove the conditions needed for recruitment of this ecologically important tree species. These results highlight that herbivore behavioural responses to altered abiotic conditions are critical determinants of plant persistence. Predictions of climate change impacts must not overlook the crucial importance of species interactions.","We thank the staff of Yellowstone National Park for research permits and assistance, particularly C.

,pub.1011687766,10.1175/2011jhm1360.1,,,,Shifts in Western North American Snowmelt Runoff Regimes for the Recent Warm Decades,"Climate change–driven shifts in streamflow timing have been documented for western North America and are expected to continue with increased warming. These changes will likely have the greatest implications on already short and overcommitted water supplies in the region. This study investigated changes in western North American streamflow timing over the 1948–2008 period, including the very recent warm decade not previously considered, through (i) trends in streamflow timing measures, (ii) two second-order linear models applied simultaneously over the region to test for the acceleration of these changes, and (iii) changes in runoff regimes. Basins were categorized by the percentage of snowmelt-derived runoff to enable the comparison of groups of streams with similar runoff characteristics and to quantify shifts in snowmelt-dominated regimes. Results indicate that streamflow has continued to shift to earlier in the water year, most notably for those basins with the largest snowmelt runoff component. However, an acceleration of these streamflow timing changes for the recent warm decades is not clearly indicated. Most coastal rain-dominated and some interior basins have experienced later timing. The timing changes are connected to area-wide warmer temperatures, especially in March and January, and to precipitation shifts that bear subregional signatures. Notably, a set of the most vulnerable basins has experienced runoff regime changes, such that basins that were snowmelt dominated at the beginning of the observational period shifted to mostly rain dominated in later years. These most vulnerable regions for regime shifts are in the California Sierra Nevada, eastern Washington, Idaho, and northeastern New Mexico. Snowmelt regime changes may indicate that the time available for adaptation of water supply systems to climatic changes in vulnerable regions are shorter than previously recognized.",We thank Environment Canada and Mary Tyree of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography for providing the Canadian streamflow data.

,pub.1044596471,10.1007/s10021-011-9470-6,,,,Twenty Years After the 1988 Yellowstone Fires: Lessons About Disturbance and Ecosystems,"The 1988 Yellowstone fires were among the first in what has proven to be an upsurge in large severe fires in the western USA during the past 20 years. At the time of the fires, little was known about the impacts of such a large severe disturbance because scientists had had few previous opportunities to study such an event. Ecologists predicted short- and long-term effects of the 1988 fires on vegetation, biogeochemistry, primary productivity, wildlife, and aquatic ecosystems based on scientific understanding of the time. Twenty-plus years of subsequent study allow these early predictions to be evaluated. Most of the original predictions were at least partially supported, but some predictions were refuted, others nuanced, and a few postfire phenomena were entirely unexpected. Post-1988 Yellowstone studies catalyzed advances in ecology focused on the importance of spatial and temporal heterogeneity, contingent influences, and multiple interacting drivers. Post-1988 research in Yellowstone also has changed public perceptions of fire as an ecological process and attitudes towards fire management. Looking ahead to projected climate change and more frequent large fires, the well-documented ecological responses to the 1988 Yellowstone fires provide a foundation for detecting and evaluating potential changes in fire regimes of temperate mountainous regions.","The idea for this review came from the joint conference of the International Association of Wildland Fire and Yellowstone National Park’s 9th Biennial Scientific Conference held in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in 2008.

,pub.1025764000,10.1016/j.foreco.2011.03.036,,,,Assessing forest vulnerability and the potential distribution of pine beetles under current and future climate scenarios in the Interior West of the US,"The aim of our study was to estimate forest vulnerability and potential distribution of three bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) under current and projected climate conditions for 2020 and 2050. Our study focused on the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae), western pine beetle (Dendroctonus brevicomis), and pine engraver (Ips pini). This study was conducted across eight states in the Interior West of the US covering approximately 2.2millionkm2 and encompassing about 95% of the Rocky Mountains in the contiguous US. Our analyses relied on aerial surveys of bark beetle outbreaks that occurred between 1991 and 2008. Occurrence points for each species were generated within polygons created from the aerial surveys. Current and projected climate scenarios were acquired from the WorldClim database and represented by 19 bioclimatic variables. We used Maxent modeling technique fit with occurrence points and current climate data to model potential beetle distributions and forest vulnerability. Three available climate models, each having two emission scenarios, were modeled independently and results averaged to produce two predictions for 2020 and two predictions for 2050 for each analysis. Environmental parameters defined by current climate models were then used to predict conditions under future climate scenarios, and changes in different species’ ranges were calculated. Our results suggested that the potential distribution for bark beetles under current climate conditions is extensive, which coincides with infestation trends observed in the last decade. Our results predicted that suitable habitats for the mountain pine beetle and pine engraver beetle will stabilize or decrease under future climate conditions, while habitat for the western pine beetle will continue to increase over time. The greatest increase in habitat area was for the western pine beetle, where one climate model predicted a 27% increase by 2050. In contrast, the predicted habitat of the mountain pine beetle from another climate model suggested a decrease in habitat areas as great as 46% by 2050. Generally, 2020 and 2050 models that tested the three climate scenarios independently had similar trends, though one climate scenario for the western pine beetle produced contrasting results. Ranges for all three species of bark beetles shifted considerably geographically suggesting that some host species may become more vulnerable to beetle attack in the future, while others may have a reduced risk over time.","This work was partially supported by funding from the USDA Forest Service.

We considered how the occurrence, size, and spatial location of large fires might respond to climate projections in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem (GYE) (Wyoming), a large wildland ecosystem dominated by conifer forests and characterized by infrequent, high-severity fire. We developed a suite of statistical models that related monthly climate data (1972-1999) to the occurrence and size of fires >200 ha in the northern Rocky Mountains; these models were cross-validated and then used with downscaled (~12 km × 12 km) climate projections from three global climate models to predict fire occurrence and area burned in the GYE through 2099. All models predicted substantial increases in fire by midcentury, with fire rotation (the time to burn an area equal to the landscape area) reduced to <30 y from the historical 100-300 y for most of the GYE. Years without large fires were common historically but are expected to become rare as annual area burned and the frequency of regionally synchronous fires increase. Our findings suggest a shift to novel fire-climate-vegetation relationships in Greater Yellowstone by midcentury because fire frequency and extent would be inconsistent with persistence of the current suite of conifer species. The predicted new fire regime would transform the flora, fauna, and ecosystem processes in this landscape and may indicate similar changes for other subalpine forests.","We thank A. Keyser, K.

Here, we evaluate the uniqueness of recent declines using snowpack reconstructions from 66 tree-ring chronologies in key runoff-generating areas of the Colorado, Columbia, and Missouri River drainages. Over the past millennium, late 20th century snowpack reductions are almost unprecedented in magnitude across the northern Rocky Mountains and in their north-south synchrony across the cordillera. Both the snowpack declines and their synchrony result from unparalleled springtime warming that is due to positive reinforcement of the anthropogenic warming by decadal variability. The increasing role of warming on large-scale snowpack variability and trends foreshadows fundamental impacts on streamflow and water supplies across the western United States.","Acknowledgments: We thank S.

,pub.1032399226,10.1016/j.foreco.2011.03.016,,,,Tree regeneration and future stand development after bark beetle infestation and harvesting in Colorado lodgepole pine stands,"In the southern Rocky Mountains, current mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) outbreaks and associated harvesting have set millions of hectares of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm. ex Wats.) forest onto new stand development trajectories. Information about immediate, post-disturbance tree regeneration will provide insight on dynamics of future stand composition and structure. We compared tree regeneration in eight paired harvested and untreated lodgepole pine stands in the Fraser Experimental Forest that experienced more than 70% overstory mortality due to beetles. New seedlings colonized both harvested and untreated stands in the first years after the beetle outbreak. In harvested areas the density of new seedlings, predominantly lodgepole pine and aspen, was four times higher than in untreated stands. Annual height growth of pine and fir advance regeneration (e.g., trees established prior to the onset of the outbreak) has doubled following overstory mortality in untreated stands. Growth simulations based on our regeneration data suggest that stand basal area and stem density will return to pre-beetle levels in untreated and harvested stands within 80–105years. Furthermore, lodgepole pine will remain the dominant species in harvested stands over the next century, but subalpine fir will become the most abundant species in untreated areas. Owing to terrain, economic and administrative limitations, active management will treat a small fraction (<15%) of the forests killed by pine beetle. Our findings suggest that the long-term consequences of the outbreak will be most dramatic in untreated forests where the shift in tree species composition will influence timber and water production, wildfire behavior, wildlife habitat and other forest attributes.","AcknowledgementsWithout the flexibility and assistance of Craig Magwire, Rick Cassie, Chris Oliver, Jeff Underhill and field crews of the Arapaho-Roosevelt NF, Sulphur Ranger District this research would not have been possible.

We surveyed plant assemblages at 30 sites that included adjacent aspen, conifer, and meadow communities across a 10,000-km2 region. We statistically investigated patterns in local and landscape-scale plant diversity within and among the three vegetation types. Summing across sites, aspen stands supported more plant species overall and more unique plant species than either meadow or conifer communities. Local richness and diversity did not differ between aspen and meadow plots; conifer forest plots were significantly lower in both measures. Heterogeneity in species composition was higher for aspen forest than for meadows or conifer forest, both within sites and between sites. Plant communities in aspen stands shared less than 25% of their species with adjacent vegetation in conifer and meadow plots. Within aspen forest, we found a negative relationship between total canopy cover and plant diversity. Our results strongly support the idea that plant communities of aspen stands are compositionally distinct from adjacent meadows and conifer forest, and that aspen forests are a major contributor to plant species diversity in the study region. Current patterns of aspen stand succession to conifer forest on many sites in the semiarid western US are likely to reduce local and landscape-level plant species diversity, and may also have negative effects on other ecosystem functions and services provided by aspen forest.",We gratefully acknowledge the constructive input of the editor and three anonymous reviewers.,,Plant Ecology,,,Springer Nature,"1385-0237, 1573-5052",,2011-04-19,2011,2011-04-19,2011-09,212,9,1451,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Kuhn, Tim J.; Safford, Hugh D.; Jones, Bobette E.; Tate, Ken W.","Kuhn, Tim J.

The leading edge has reached Alberta where forest composition shifts from lodgepole to jack pine through a hybrid zone. The susceptibility of jack pine to MPB is a major concern, but there has been no evidence of host-range expansion, in part due to the difficulty in distinguishing the parentals and their hybrids. We tested the utility of a panel of microsatellite loci optimized for both species to classify lodgepole pine, jack pine and their hybrids using simulated data. We were able to accurately classify simulated individuals, and hence applied these markers to identify the ancestry of attacked trees. Here we show for the first time successful MPB attack in natural jack pine stands at the leading edge of the epidemic. This once unsuitable habitat is now a novel environment for MPB to exploit, a potential risk which could be exacerbated by further climate change. The consequences of host-range expansion for the vast boreal ecosystem could be significant.","The authors would like to thank Alberta Sustainable Resources and Development – particularly Daniel Lux, Sunil Ranasinghe and Tom Hutchinson – for logistical support and sample collection, Jim Weber (Canadian Forest Service, Natural Resources Canada) for sample collection and images; Brad Jones, Darryl Edwards, Ed Hunt, and Stephane Bourassa (University of Alberta) for sample collection; Michael Carlson (Government of British Columbia) for sample material, Rory McIntosh and Rob Moore (Saskatchewan Ministry of the Environment) for sample collection; Gurp Thandi and Steve Taylor (Canadian Forest Service, Pacific Forestry Centre) for access to MPB attack data; Denys Yemshanov and Daniel McKenney (Canadian Forest Service, Great Lakes Forestry Centre) for access to pine volume data; and Matthew Bryman (University of Alberta) for logistical support.

,pub.1005144089,10.1016/j.foreco.2010.09.048,,,,"Tree mortality in drought-stressed mixed-conifer and ponderosa pine forests, Arizona, USA","We monitored tree mortality in northern Arizona (USA) mixed-conifer and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws) forests from 1997 to 2007, a period of severe drought in this area. Mortality was pervasive, occurring on 100 and 98% of 53 mixed-conifer and 60 ponderosa pine plots (1-ha each), respectively. Most mortality was attributable to a suite of forest insects, mediated by drought stress. The number of trees dying from 2002 to 2007 was more than 200% greater than the number dying from 1997 to 2002 in mixed-conifer forest and 74% greater in ponderosa pine forest. Extent of mortality was spatially variable in both forest types. Median cumulative mortality (the ratio of dead to live trees) increased by approximately 53 and 65% in mixed-conifer and ponderosa pine forests, respectively, from 2002 to 2007. Median mortality rates from 2002 to 2007 were approximately 2.0%year−1 in mixed-conifer forest (range=0–28.5%) and 0.4%year−1 in ponderosa pine forest (range=0–13.6%). Mortality rates generally were not strongly related to either elevation or stand density. Mortality was nonrandom with respect to tree size classes and species. Proportions of trees dying were greatest in the largest size classes, particularly in mixed-conifer forest, where mortality in the largest size class exceeded 22% from 2002 to 2007. Mortality in mixed-conifer forest was particularly pronounced for quaking aspen (85%) and white fir (28%), the least drought tolerant species present. These results provide an early glimpse of how these forest types are likely to respond to predicted climate changes in the southwestern USA. They suggest that these forests are not resilient to climate change, and that treatments to increase resilience to climate change may be appropriate. Research on causes of spatial heterogeneity in extent of mortality might suggest valuable approaches to aid in increasing resilience.","AcknowledgmentsWe thank J. Jenness, G. Martinez, M.

We compared annual tree-ring width data from 1,097 populations in the coterminous United States to climate data and evaluated site-specific tree responses to climate variations throughout the 20th century. For each population, we developed a climate-driven growth equation by using climate records to predict annual ring widths. Forests within the southwestern United States appear particularly sensitive to drought and warmth. We input 21st century climate projections to the equations to predict growth responses. Our results suggest that if temperature and aridity rise as they are projected to, southwestern trees will experience substantially reduced growth during this century. As tree growth declines, mortality rates may increase at many sites. Increases in wildfires and bark-beetle outbreaks in the most recent decade are likely related to extreme drought and high temperatures during this period. Using satellite imagery and aerial survey data, we conservatively calculate that ≈ 2.7% of southwestern forest and woodland area experienced substantial mortality due to wildfires from 1984 to 2006, and ≈ 7.6% experienced mortality associated with bark beetles from 1997 to 2008. We estimate that up to ≈ 18% of southwestern forest area (excluding woodlands) experienced mortality due to bark beetles or wildfire during this period. Expected climatic changes will alter future forest productivity, disturbance regimes, and species ranges throughout the Southwest. Emerging knowledge of these impending transitions informs efforts to adaptively manage southwestern forests.","We thank all contributors of tree-ring chronologies that we accessed from the ITRDB.

Since 2000, drought of unusual severity, extent, and duration has affected large areas of western North America, leading to regional‐scale dieback of forests in the southwestern US. We report on drought impacts on forests in a region farther north, encompassing the transition between boreal forest and prairie in western Canada. A central question is the significance of drought as an agent of large‐scale tree mortality and its potential future impact on carbon cycling in this cold region. We used a combination of plot‐based, meteorological, and remote sensing measures to map and quantify aboveground, dead biomass of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) across an 11.5 Mha survey area where drought was exceptionally severe during 2001–2002. Within this area, a satellite‐based land cover map showed that aspen‐dominated broadleaf forests occupied 2.3 Mha. Aerial surveys revealed extensive patches of severe mortality (>55%) resembling the impacts of fire. Dead aboveground biomass was estimated at 45 Mt, representing 20% of the total aboveground biomass, based on a spatial interpolation of plot‐based measurements. Spatial variation in percentage dead biomass showed a moderately strong correlation with drought severity. In the prairie‐like, southern half of the study area where the drought was most severe, 35% of aspen biomass was dead, compared with an estimated 7% dead biomass in the absence of drought. Drought led to an estimated 29 Mt increase in dead biomass across the survey area, corresponding to 14 Mt of potential future carbon emissions following decomposition. Many recent, comparable episodes of drought‐induced forest dieback have been reported from around the world, which points to an emerging need for multiscale monitoring approaches to quantify drought effects on woody biomass and carbon cycling across large areas.","This work was conducted through funding support from the Canadian Forest Service of Natural Resources Canada, the Government of Canada&#x27;s Climate Change Action Fund, the Program of Energy Research and Development, and Mistik Management Ltd.

Regional drought-induced tree die-off in semiarid woodlands highlights how an ecosystem crash fundamentally alters most ecosystem services and poses management challenges. Building on previous research showing how choice of location is linked to adaptive capacity and vulnerability, we developed a framework showing how the options for retaining desired ecosystem services in the face of sudden crashes depend on how portable the service is and whether the stakeholder is flexible with regard to the location where they receive their services. Stakeholders using portable services, or stakeholders who can move to other locations to obtain services, may be more resilient to ecosystem crashes. Our framework suggests that entering into cooperative networks with regionally distributed stakeholders is key to building resilience to big, fast, patchy crashes.","This article concept was developed in association with a Fellowship to DDB from the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy.

                    The potential for mountain pine beetle,
                    Dendroctonus ponderosae
                    Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), to expand its historical range in North America from west of the continental divide into the eastern boreal forest was assessed on the basis of analyses of the effects of climate and weather on brood development and survival, and key aspects of the interaction of mountain pine beetle with its hosts and associated organisms. Variation in climate suitability and high host susceptibility in the boreal forest create a finite risk of establishment and local persistence of low-level mountain pine beetle populations outside their historical range. Eventually, these populations could become widespread and cause epidemic infestations, creating an ecological pathway eastward through the boreal forest. Such infestations would reduce the commercial value of forests and impose an additional disturbance on native ecological systems.

                    Dendroctonus ponderosae
                    Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), à partir de l'ouest de la ligne continentale de partage des eaux vers la forêt boréale de l'est est basée sur des analyses des effets du climat et des conditions météorologiques sur le développement et la survie du couvain et des aspects essentiels de l'interaction entre le dendroctone du pin ponderosa et ses hôtes et les organismes associés. La variabilité des conditions climatiques favorables et la forte vulnérabilité des hôtes dans la forêt boréale créent un risque fini d'un établissement éventuel et de la persistance de populations locales de faible densité du dendroctone du pin ponderosa hors de son aire historique de répartition. Ces populations pourraient éventuellement atteindre des répartitions étendues et causer des infestations épidémiques, en créant un passage écologique vers l'est à travers la forêt boréale. De telles infestations diminueraient la valeur commerciale des forêts et ajouteraient une perturbation supplémentaire aux systèmes écologiques indigènes.

We provide a synthesis of climate change effects on native bark beetles, important mortality agents of conifers in western North America. Because of differences in temperature-dependent life-history strategies, including cold-induced mortality and developmental timing, responses to warming will differ among and within bark beetle species. The success of bark beetle populations will also be influenced indirectly by the effects of climate on community associates and host-tree vigor, although little information is available to quantify these relationships. We used available population models and climate forecasts to explore the responses of two eruptive bark beetle species. Based on projected warming, increases in thermal regimes conducive to population success are predicted for Dendroctonus rufipennis (Kirby) and Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, although there is considerable spatial and temporal variability. These predictions from population models suggest a movement of temperature suitability to higher latitudes and elevations and identify regions with a high potential for bark beetle outbreaks and associated tree mortality in the coming century.","This effort was facilitated by and coordinated through the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service Research and Development Western Bark Beetle Research Group, and was funded in part by the USDA Forest Service Western Wildland Environmental Threat Assessment Center, Prineville, Oregon.

,pub.1033300557,10.1890/09-0504.1,20666251,,,Simulations show decreasing carbon stocks and potential for carbon emissions in Rocky Mountain forests over the next century,"Climate change has altered the environment in which forests grow, and climate change models predict more severe alterations to come. Forests have already responded to these changes, and the future temperature and precipitation scenarios are of foremost concern, especially in the mountainous western United States, where forests occur in the dry environments that interface with grasslands. The objective of this study was to understand the trade-offs between temperature and water controls on these forested sites in the context of available climate projections. Three temperature and precipitation scenarios from IPCC AR4 AOGCMs ranging in precipitation levels were input to the process model Biome-BGC for key forested sites in the northern U.S. Rocky Mountains. Despite the omission of natural and human-caused disturbances in our simulations, our results show consequential effects from these conservative future temperature and precipitation scenarios. According to these projections, if future precipitation and temperatures are similar to or drier than the dry scenario depicted here, high-elevation forests on both the drier and wetter sites, which have in the absence of disturbance accumulated carbon, will reduce their carbon accumulation. Under the marginally drier climate projections, most forests became carbon sources by the end of the simulation horizon (2089). Under all three scenarios, growing season lengthened, the number of days with snow on the ground decreased, peak snow occurred earlier, and water stress increased through the projection horizon (1950-2089) for all sites, which represent the temperature and precipitation spectrum of forests in this region. The quantity, form, and timing of precipitation ultimately drive the carbon accumulation trajectory of forests in this region.","This research was supported by a grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and coordinated through Joel Smith from Stratus Consulting, Washington, D.C., USA.",,Ecological Applications,,,Wiley,"1051-0761, 1939-5582",Carbon; Climate; Trees,2010-07,2010,2010-07,2010-07,20,5,1302-1319,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Boisvenue, Céline; Running, Steven W.","Boisvenue, Céline (Numerical Terradynamic Simulation Group, University of Montana, Missoula, Montana 59802 USA); Running, Steven W.

,pub.1008425569,10.1016/j.foreco.2010.05.020,,,,"Effects and etiology of sudden aspen decline in southwestern Colorado, USA","Sudden aspen decline (SAD), affecting Populus tremuloides, was first observed in Colorado in 2004. By 2008 it affected at least 220,000ha, an estimated 17% of the aspen cover type in the state. In southwestern Colorado, we examined site and stand features in paired healthy and damaged plots to assess the effects of SAD on aspen and to identify factors associated with decline. Root mortality increased significantly with recent crown loss. Consequently, density of regeneration did not increase as the overstory deteriorated, and regeneration that originated since 2002 decreased significantly in stands with moderate to severe SAD. However, mortality of regeneration did not increase with that of the overstory. Remeasurement of a subset of plots after 1–2 yrs showed significant increases in severity. Contrary to expectations, overstory age and diameter were not related to SAD severity as measured by recent crown loss or mortality. Severity of SAD was inversely, but weakly, related to basal area, stem slenderness, and site index, and positively related to upper slope positions. This is consistent with moisture stress as an underlying factor. To test the role of climate as an inciting factor for SAD, a landscape-scale climate model was used to compare moisture status of declining and healthy aspen at the height of the warm drought in water year 2002. Polygons identified as damaged aspen in the 2008 aerial survey had greater moisture deficits than healthy aspen in the 2002 water year. SAD has led to loss of aspen cover in some stands, and is occurring in areas where early loss of aspen due to climate change has been predicted. Further warm, dry growing seasons will likely lead to recurrence of SAD.","AcknowledgmentsThis work was supported in part by the USDA Forest Service, Forest Health Monitoring, Evaluation Monitoring Program.

,pub.1052996772,10.1890/09-0655.1,20597278,,,Whitebark pine vulnerability to climate‐driven mountain pine beetle disturbance in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem,"Widespread outbreaks of mountain pine beetles (MPB) are occurring throughout the range of this native insect. Episodic outbreaks are a common occurrence in the beetles' primary host, lodgepole pine. Current outbreaks, however, are occurring in habitats where outbreaks either did not previously occur or were limited in scale. Herein, we address widespread, ongoing outbreaks in high-elevation, whitebark pine forests of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, where, due to an inhospitable climate, past outbreaks were infrequent and short lived. We address the basic question: are these outbreaks truly unprecedented and a threat to ecosystem continuity? In order to evaluate this question we (1) present evidence that the current outbreak is outside the historic range of variability; (2) examine system resiliency to MPB disturbance based on adaptation to disturbance and host defenses to MPB attack; and (3) investigate the potential domain of attraction to large-scale MPB disturbance based on thermal developmental thresholds, spatial structure of forest types, and the confounding influence of an introduced pathogen. We conclude that the loss of dominant whitebark pine forests, and the ecological services they provide, is likely under continuing climate warming and that new research and strategies are needed to respond to the crisis facing whitebark pine.","Reviewer comments from Kenneth Raffa, Anna Schemper, Diana Tomback, and an anonymous reviewer significantly improved a previous version of this manuscript; however, any errors in fact or interpretation remain our own.",,Ecological Applications,,,Wiley,"1051-0761, 1939-5582",Animals; Coleoptera; Ecosystem; Global Warming; Northwestern United States; Pinus,2010-06,2010,2010-06,2010-06,20,4,895-902,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Logan, Jesse A.; Macfarlane, William W.; Willcox, Louisa","Logan, Jesse A.

,pub.1004033810,10.1016/j.foreco.2009.09.001,,,,A global overview of drought and heat-induced tree mortality reveals emerging climate change risks for forests,"Greenhouse gas emissions have significantly altered global climate, and will continue to do so in the future. Increases in the frequency, duration, and/or severity of drought and heat stress associated with climate change could fundamentally alter the composition, structure, and biogeography of forests in many regions. Of particular concern are potential increases in tree mortality associated with climate-induced physiological stress and interactions with other climate-mediated processes such as insect outbreaks and wildfire. Despite this risk, existing projections of tree mortality are based on models that lack functionally realistic mortality mechanisms, and there has been no attempt to track observations of climate-driven tree mortality globally. Here we present the first global assessment of recent tree mortality attributed to drought and heat stress. Although episodic mortality occurs in the absence of climate change, studies compiled here suggest that at least some of the world's forested ecosystems already may be responding to climate change and raise concern that forests may become increasingly vulnerable to higher background tree mortality rates and die-off in response to future warming and drought, even in environments that are not normally considered water-limited. This further suggests risks to ecosystem services, including the loss of sequestered forest carbon and associated atmospheric feedbacks. Our review also identifies key information gaps and scientific uncertainties that currently hinder our ability to predict tree mortality in response to climate change and emphasizes the need for a globally coordinated observation system. Overall, our review reveals the potential for amplified tree mortality due to drought and heat in forests worldwide.","AcknowledgementsWe thank Rebecca Oertel, Andrew Goumas, Ángeles G.

However, in recent years it appears that aspen has been establishing from seed in this zone and that it has been doing so mainly as a result of forest harvesting. The objectives of this study were to determine the frequency of and types of microsite required for the successful establishment of aspen seedlings at these higher elevations.   Location  Rocky Mountains Upper Foothills Natural Subregion of west‐central Alberta, Canada.   Methods  The current distribution of mature aspen and the presence and absence of aspen seedlings in harvested areas were determined in an area c. 300 km 2 in size, using ground and aerial surveys. In an intensive study, 12 belt transects (180 m long and 5 m wide) were established in areas disturbed by forest harvesting at high elevations where no aspen was present prior to harvesting. Transects were surveyed seven growing seasons after disturbance and the microsites occupied by aspen seedlings were characterized according to their substrate and microtopography. Similarly, the availability of different substrates and microtopographic positions were assessed by systematic point sampling on these sites.   Results  On level surfaces, aspen seedling regeneration was found up to 200 m higher in elevation than the mature aspen in the original undisturbed forests. Overall, there were 428 seedlings ha −1 established on these transects, and the age distribution indicates that aspen seedlings had established in each of the seven growing seasons since the disturbance. Nearly all of the seedlings (93%) were established on mineral soil microsites and virtually no seedlings were established on undisturbed forest floor layers. Significantly more seedlings were found in concave microtopographic positions.   Main conclusions  This study indicates that aspen establishment from seed is currently not a stochastic event and demonstrates that aspen is rapidly expanding its range upslope in the Canadian Rocky Mountain region as a result of forest management practices that expose mineral soil substrates in conjunction with a warming climate. The change in canopy composition from conifer to deciduous forests at these higher elevations will have far‐reaching implications for ecosystem processes and functions.","We thank Jessica Snedden for her assistance with the data collection in the field, Scott Merrifield and Sundance Forest Industries Ltd for supplying aerial photographs, maps and stand information and Amanda Schoonmaker and two anonymous referees for their helpful comments on the manuscript.

,pub.1030013420,10.1016/j.foreco.2009.06.005,,,,"Aspen, climate, and sudden decline in western USA","A bioclimate model predicting the presence or absence of aspen, Populus tremuloides, in western USA from climate variables was developed by using the Random Forests classification tree on Forest Inventory data from about 118,000 permanent sample plots. A reasonably parsimonious model used eight predictors to describe aspen's climate profile. Classification errors averaged 4.5%, most of which were errors of commission. The model was driven primarily by three variables: an annual dryness index, the ratio of summer to annual precipitation, and an interaction of growing season precipitation with the summer–winter temperature differential. Projecting the contemporary climate profile into the future climate provided by three General Circulation Models and two scenarios (SRES A2 and either B1 or B2) suggested that the area occupied by the profile should diminish rapidly over the course of the century, 6–41% by the decade surrounding 2030, 40–75% for that surrounding 2060, and 46–94% for 2090. The relevance of the climate profile to understanding climate-based responses is illustrated by relating trends in climate to the recent incidence of sudden aspen dieback that has plagued portions of the aspen distribution. Of the eight variables in the profile, four reached extreme values during 2000–2003, the period immediately preceding the appearance of damage in aerial surveys.","AcknowledgmentsForest Inventory and Analysis, U.S. Forest Service, graciously granted us access to their data files.

,pub.1015776047,10.1016/j.biocon.2009.06.015,,,,Large predators and trophic cascades in terrestrial ecosystems of the western United States,"Large predators potentially can help shape the structure and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, yet strong evidence of top-down herbivore limitation has not been widely reported in the scientific literature. Herein we synthesize outcomes of recent tri-trophic cascades studies involving the presence and absence of large predators for five national parks in the western United States, including Olympic, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Zion, and Wind Cave. Historical observations by park biologists regarding woody browse species and recently compiled age structure data for deciduous trees indicate major impacts to woody plant communities by ungulates following the extirpation or displacement of large predators. Declines in long-term tree recruitment indexed additional effects to plant communities and ecological processes, as well as shifts towards alternative ecosystem states. The magnitude and consistency of vegetation impacts found within these five parks, in conjunction with other recent North American studies, indicate that broad changes to ecosystem processes and the lower trophic level may have occurred in other parts of the western United States where large predators have been extirpated or displaced. Thus, where ungulates have significantly altered native plant communities in the absence of large predators, restoration of native flora is urgently needed to recover former ecosystem services. Following the reintroduction of previously extirpated gray wolves Canis lupus into Yellowstone National Park, a spatially patchy recovery of woody browse species (e.g., aspen Populus tremuloides, willow Salix spp., cottonwood Populus spp.) has begun, indicating that large predator recovery may represent an important restoration strategy for ecosystems degraded by wild ungulates.","AcknowledgementsWe are particularly appreciative of assistance provide by National Park Service personnel, including: J.

,pub.1053698323,10.1071/wf08187,,,,Implications of changing climate for global wildland fire,"Wildland fire is a global phenomenon, and a result of interactions between climate–weather, fuels and people. Our climate is changing rapidly primarily through the release of greenhouse gases that may have profound and possibly unexpected impacts on global fire activity. The present paper reviews the current understanding of what the future may bring with respect to wildland fire and discusses future options for research and management. To date, research suggests a general increase in area burned and fire occurrence but there is a lot of spatial variability, with some areas of no change or even decreases in area burned and occurrence. Fire seasons are lengthening for temperate and boreal regions and this trend should continue in a warmer world. Future trends of fire severity and intensity are difficult to determine owing to the complex and non-linear interactions between weather, vegetation and people. Improved fire data are required along with continued global studies that dynamically include weather, vegetation, people, and other disturbances. Lastly, we need more research on the role of policy, practices and human behaviour because most of the global fire activity is directly attributable to people.","We would like to gratefully acknowledge Florent Mouillot for the contribution of data to produce Fig. 3.

,pub.1019110407,10.1890/08-1265.1,19688929,,,Relationship of stand characteristics to drought‐induced mortality in three Southwestern piñon–juniper woodlands,"Extreme drought conditions accompanied by rising temperatures have characterized the American Southwest during the past decade, causing widespread tree mortality in piñion-juniper woodlands. Piñon pine (Pinus edulis Engelm.) mortality is linked primarily to outbreaks of the pinyon ips (Ips confusus (Leconte)) precipitated by drought conditions. Although we searched extensively, no biotic agent was identified as responsible for death in Juniperus L. spp. in this study; hence this mortality was due to direct drought stress. Here we examine the relationship between tree abundance and patterns of mortality in three size classes (seedling/sapling, pre-reproductive, reproductive) during the recent extended drought in three regions: southwest Colorado, northern New Mexico, and northern Arizona. Piñon mortality varied from 32% to 65%, and juniper mortality from 3% to 10% across the three sites. In all sites, the greatest piñon mortality was in the larger, presumably older, trees. Using logistic regression models, we examined the influence of tree density and basal area on bark beetle infestations (piñon) and direct drought impacts (juniper). In contrast to research carried out early in the drought cycle by other researchers in Arizona, we did not find evidence for greater mortality of piñon and juniper trees in increasingly high density or basal area conditions. We conclude that the severity of this regional drought has masked density-dependent patterns visible in less severe drought conditions. With climate projections for the American Southwest suggesting increases in aridity and rising temperatures, it is critical that we expand our understanding of stress responses expected in widespread piñon-juniper woodlands.","New Mexico research was funded with a grant from the USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station, Middle Rio Grande Ecosystem Management Unit.

,pub.1016805175,10.1175/2009jcli2470.1,,,,Detection and Attribution of Streamflow Timing Changes to Climate Change in the Western United States,"Abstract
                  This article applies formal detection and attribution techniques to investigate the nature of observed shifts in the timing of streamflow in the western United States. Previous studies have shown that the snow hydrology of the western United States has changed in the second half of the twentieth century. Such changes manifest themselves in the form of more rain and less snow, in reductions in the snow water contents, and in earlier snowmelt and associated advances in streamflow “center” timing (the day in the “water-year” on average when half the water-year flow at a point has passed). However, with one exception over a more limited domain, no other study has attempted to formally attribute these changes to anthropogenic increases of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Using the observations together with a set of global climate model simulations and a hydrologic model (applied to three major hydrological regions of the western United States—the California region, the upper Colorado River basin, and the Columbia River basin), it is found that the observed trends toward earlier “center” timing of snowmelt-driven streamflows in the western United States since 1950 are detectably different from natural variability (significant at the p < 0.05 level). Furthermore, the nonnatural parts of these changes can be attributed confidently to climate changes induced by anthropogenic greenhouse gases, aerosols, ozone, and land use. The signal from the Columbia dominates the analysis, and it is the only basin that showed a detectable signal when the analysis was performed on individual basins. It should be noted that although climate change is an important signal, other climatic processes have also contributed to the hydrologic variability of large basins in the western United States.","This work was supported by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory through an LDRD grant to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) via the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) for the LUCSiD project.

,pub.1033360408,10.2111/08-188r1.1,,,,"Historical and Modern Disturbance Regimes, Stand Structures, and Landscape Dynamics in Piñon–Juniper Vegetation of the Western United States","Piñon–juniper is a major vegetation type in western North America. Effective management of these ecosystems has been hindered by inadequate understanding of 1) the variability in ecosystem structure and ecological processes that exists among the diverse combinations of piñons, junipers, and associated shrubs, herbs, and soil organisms; 2) the prehistoric and historic disturbance regimes; and 3) the mechanisms driving changes in vegetation structure and composition during the past 150 yr. This article summarizes what we know (and don't know) about three fundamentally different kinds of piñon–juniper vegetation. Persistent woodlands are found where local soils, climate, and disturbance regimes are favorable for piñon, juniper, or a mix of both; fires have always been infrequent in these woodlands. Piñon–juniper savannas are found where local soils and climate are suitable for both trees and grasses; it is logical that low-severity fires may have maintained low tree densities before disruption of fire regimes following Euro-American settlement, but information is insufficient to support any confident statements about historical disturbance regimes in these savannas. Wooded shrublands are found where local soils and climate support a shrub community, but trees can increase during moist climatic conditions and periods without disturbance and decrease during droughts and following disturbance. Dramatic increases in tree density have occurred in portions of all three types of piñon–juniper vegetation, although equally dramatic mortality events have also occurred in some areas. The potential mechanisms driving increases in tree density—such as recovery from past disturbance, natural range expansion, livestock grazing, fire exclusion, climatic variability, and CO2 fertilization—generally have not received enough empirical or experimental investigation to predict which is most important in any given location. The intent of this synthesis is 1) to provide a source of information for managers and policy makers; and 2) to stimulate researchers to address the most important unanswered questions.","We appreciate the encouragement and advice given by Ayn Shlisky, Mike Babler, Anne Bradley, and Lynn Decker of The Nature Conservancy and by Dan Binkley of Colorado Forest Restoration Institute throughout the process of preparing the article.

Despite the important role they play in forest regeneration, space use by nutcrackers has not been formally studied. Several hypotheses exist to explain their year-round patterns of space use. We tested the hypothesis that one population in the Cascade Range, Washington, migrates altitudinally between summer and autumn. In 2006 and 2007, we compared seasonal differences in summer and autumn space use by 26 radio-tagged nutcrackers. Five nutcrackers remained as year-round residents on their home ranges; 21 emigrated from the study area in summer. Among residents we found summer and autumn ranges overlapped and summer ranges were contained within autumn ranges. Residents increased their use of low-elevation habitats as autumn progressed, but rather than migrating from summer ranges, they used low-elevation forests only for seed harvesting. High-elevation portions of the summer range were used for all other activities including seed storage even though this required residents to transport seeds from source trees up to 29 km in distance and 1007 m in elevation. We were unable to test hypotheses regarding space use by emigrants. However, our results suggest that emigrants in this study did not migrate altitudinally because they showed no seasonal trend in movements either upslope or downslope.","This study would not have been possible without support and guidance from C.

California experienced PM(10-2.5) (particulate matter with mass median aerodynamic diameter > 2.5 mum to < 10 mum; coarse ) and PM(2.5) (particulate matter with mass median aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 mum; fine) concentrations greatly in excess of the air quality standards and among the highest values reported at these stations since data have been collected.
OBJECTIVES: These observations prompt a number of questions about the health impact of exposure to elevated levels of PM(10-2.5) and PM(2.5) and about the specific toxicity of PM arising from wildfires in this region.
METHODS: Toxicity of PM(10-2.5) and PM(2.5) obtained during the time of peak concentrations of smoke in the air was determined with a mouse bioassay and compared with PM samples collected under normal conditions from the region during the month of June 2007.
RESULTS: Concentrations of PM were not only higher during the wildfire episodes, but the PM was much more toxic to the lung on an equal weight basis than was PM collected from normal ambient air in the region. Toxicity was manifested as increased neutrophils and protein in lung lavage and by histologic indicators of increased cell influx and edema in the lung.
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the wildfire PM contains chemical components toxic to the lung, especially to alveolar macrophages, and they are more toxic to the lung than equal doses of PM collected from ambient air from the same region during a comparable season.","We thank F.

Our analyses of longitudinal data from unmanaged old forests in the western United States showed that background (noncatastrophic) mortality rates have increased rapidly in recent decades, with doubling periods ranging from 17 to 29 years among regions. Increases were also pervasive across elevations, tree sizes, dominant genera, and past fire histories. Forest density and basal area declined slightly, which suggests that increasing mortality was not caused by endogenous increases in competition. Because mortality increased in small trees, the overall increase in mortality rates cannot be attributed solely to aging of large trees.

,pub.1017966103,10.1071/wf07146,,,,"Landscape heterogeneity following large fires: insights from Yellowstone National Park, USA","We characterised the remarkable heterogeneity following the large, severe fires of 1988 in Yellowstone National Park (YNP), in the northern Rocky Mountains, Wyoming, USA, by focussing on spatial variation in post-fire structure, composition and ecosystem function at broad, meso, and fine scales. Ecological heterogeneity at multiple scales may enhance resilience to large, severe disturbances by providing structural, biological and functional redundancy. Post-fire heterogeneity in stand age, coarse wood abundance, microbial and understorey communities reflected interactions between existing pre-fire patterns and fire severity at different scales, suggesting that environmental context plays an important role in successional responses to large fires. In response to these post-fire patterns, heterogeneity in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storage, N mineralisation, decomposition, and productivity was also evident at multiple scales and may confer resiliency to large fires. For example, at broad scales, C storage in YNP appears resistant to changes in age-class structure associated with large stand-replacing fires. In summary, the YNP landscape is recovering rapidly from the 1988 fires through natural mechanisms, owing to the abundance and spatial heterogeneity of post-fire residuals, but other systems with fewer biotic legacies may be less resilient to such large, severe fires.","Authorship reflects alphabetical order as authors contributed equally to this manuscript.

,pub.1040248009,10.1175/2008jcli2397.1,,,,Detection and Attribution of Temperature Changes in the Mountainous Western United States,"Abstract
                  Large changes in the hydrology of the western United States have been observed since the mid-twentieth century. These include a reduction in the amount of precipitation arriving as snow, a decline in snowpack at low and midelevations, and a shift toward earlier arrival of both snowmelt and the centroid (center of mass) of streamflows. To project future water supply reliability, it is crucial to obtain a better understanding of the underlying cause or causes for these changes. A regional warming is often posited as the cause of these changes without formal testing of different competitive explanations for the warming. In this study, a rigorous detection and attribution analysis is performed to determine the causes of the late winter/early spring changes in hydrologically relevant temperature variables over mountain ranges of the western United States. Natural internal climate variability, as estimated from two long control climate model simulations, is insufficient to explain the rapid increase in daily minimum and maximum temperatures, the sharp decline in frost days, and the rise in degree-days above 0°C (a simple proxy for temperature-driven snowmelt). These observed changes are also inconsistent with the model-predicted responses to variability in solar irradiance and volcanic activity. The observations are consistent with climate simulations that include the combined effects of anthropogenic greenhouse gases and aerosols. It is found that, for each temperature variable considered, an anthropogenic signal is identifiable in observational fields. The results are robust to uncertainties in model-estimated fingerprints and natural variability noise, to the choice of statistical downscaling method, and to various processing options in the detection and attribution method.","First, we thank our three anonymous reviewers for their thorough reading and their very helpful suggestions.

,pub.1002981496,10.1175/2008jcli2405.1,,,,Attribution of Declining Western U.S. Snowpack to Human Effects,"Abstract
                  Observations show snowpack has declined across much of the western United States over the period 1950–99. This reduction has important social and economic implications, as water retained in the snowpack from winter storms forms an important part of the hydrological cycle and water supply in the region. A formal model-based detection and attribution (D–A) study of these reductions is performed. The detection variable is the ratio of 1 April snow water equivalent (SWE) to water-year-to-date precipitation (P), chosen to reduce the effect of P variability on the results. Estimates of natural internal climate variability are obtained from 1600 years of two control simulations performed with fully coupled ocean–atmosphere climate models. Estimates of the SWE/P response to anthropogenic greenhouse gases, ozone, and some aerosols are taken from multiple-member ensembles of perturbation experiments run with two models. The D–A shows the observations and anthropogenically forced models have greater SWE/P reductions than can be explained by natural internal climate variability alone. Model-estimated effects of changes in solar and volcanic forcing likewise do not explain the SWE/P reductions. The mean model estimate is that about half of the SWE/P reductions observed in the west from 1950 to 1999 are the result of climate changes forced by anthropogenic greenhouse gases, ozone, and aerosols.","The authors thank Phil Mote and two anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments, and Noah Knowles for providing data on the changing fraction of rain versus snow.

Here, we studied large wildland fire suppression expenditures by the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Among 16 potential non-managerial factors, which represented fire size and shape, private properties, public land attributes, forest and fuel conditions, and geographic settings, we found only fire size and private land had a strong effect on suppression expenditures. When both were accounted for, all the other variables had no significant effect. A parsimonious model to predict suppression expenditures was suggested, in which fire size and private land explained 58% of variation in expenditures. Other things being equal, suppression expenditures monotonically increased with fire size. For the average fire size, expenditures first increased with the percentage of private land within burned area, but as the percentage exceeded 20%, expenditures slowly declined until they stabilised when private land reached 50% of burned area. The results suggested that efforts to contain federal suppression expenditures need to focus on the highly complex, politically sensitive topic of wildfires on private land.","We thank Amy Steinke, Kevin D.

,pub.1022801929,10.1890/080016,,,,Tree die‐off in response to global change‐type drought: mortality insights from a decade of plant water potential measurements,"Global climate change is projected to produce warmer, longer, and more frequent droughts, referred to here as “global change‐type droughts”, which have the potential to trigger widespread tree die‐off. However, drought‐induced tree mortality cannot be predicted with confidence, because long‐term field observations of plant water stress prior to, and culminating in, mortality are rare, precluding the development and testing of mechanisms. Here, we document plant water stress in two widely distributed, co‐occurring species, piñon pine (Pinus edulis) and juniper (Juniperus monosperma), over more than a decade, leading up to regional‐scale die‐off of piñon pine trees in response to global change‐related drought. Piñon leaf water potentials remained substantially below their zero carbon assimilation point for at least 10 months prior to dying, in contrast to those of juniper, which rarely dropped below their zero‐assimilation point. These data suggest that piñon mortality was driven by protracted water stress, leading to carbon starvation and associated increases in susceptibility to other disturbances (eg bark beetles), a finding that should help to improve predictions of mortality during drought.","The authors thank HD Adams, PC Beeson, J Davison, KA Dayem, MH Ebinger, JM Fair, MO Gard, KL Goddard, L Graumlich, CE Heil, SR Johnson, SA Kammerdiener, CP Kempes, SA Kurc, RJ Lucero, SN Martens, LJ Martinez, KD Reid, JA Salazar, N Stephanson, JC Villegas, H Wei, and BP Wilcox for data collection and discussion comments.

We present a conceptual framework using one system as a model, emphasizing interactions across levels of biological hierarchy and spatiotemporal scales. Bark beetles are major natural disturbance agents in western North American forests. However, recent bark beetle population eruptions have exceeded the frequencies, impacts, and ranges documented during the previous 125 years. Extensive host abundance and susceptibility, concentrated beetle density, favorable weather, optimal symbiotic associations, and escape from natural enemies must occur jointly for beetles to surpass a series of thresholds and exert widespread disturbance. Opposing feedbacks determine qualitatively distinct outcomes at junctures at the biochemical through landscape levels. Eruptions occur when key thresholds are surpassed, prior constraints cease to exert influence, and positive feedbacks amplify across scales. These dynamics are bidirectional, as landscape features influence how lower-scale processes are amplified or buffered. Climate change and reduced habitat heterogeneity increase the likelihood that key thresholds will be exceeded, and may cause fundamental regime shifts. Systems in which endogenous feedbacks can dominate after external forces foster the initial breach of thresholds appear particularly sensitive to anthropogenic perturbations.","This work was supported by National Science Foundation grants DEB0314215 and EPS-0447689, the Natural Resources Canada Canadian Forest Service Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative, the Joint Fire Sciences Program, the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service&#x27;s Rapid Science Assessment Team, the British Columbia Forest Sciences Program, and the University of Wisconsin College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.

A total of 150 plots were established in 25 study areas as part of a regional-scale study (CIPHA).

                    during 2000–2002 but subsequently decreased to near zero. This collapse was driven by a more than two-fold increase in stem mortality and a 30% decrease in regional stem growth during and following the drought. The analysis showed that spatial variation in aspen productivity and biomass across the region was positively related to multiyear mean values of a climate moisture index and mineral soil silt content but was negatively related to levels of insect defoliation and wood-boring insects. In contrast, mortality and dieback was best correlated with minimum annual climate moisture index, which provided a measure of short-term drought severity. The results support previous studies showing that aspen forests are moisture limited in this region, which poses concerns for the future under a changing climate.","This work was conducted through funding support from the Canadian Forest Service of Natural Resources Canada, the Government of Canadas Climate Change Action Fund, the Program of Energy Research and Development, and Mistik Management Ltd.

Dietr.). We found blister rust in all but four plots (98%), and 57% of all trees assessed for blister rust were either already dead or showed signs of blister rust infection. Mean percentage of trees infected was highest in the southern Canada – United States border area (∼73%), decreasing to a low in the northern region of Banff National Park, Alberta (∼16%), and then rising (∼60%) in the northern end of the study area in Jasper National Park, Alberta. Stands with higher infection, mortality, and canopy kill of trees and higher presence of rust on seedlings tended to be located on the western side of the Continental Divide. In the eight stands in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, that had been previously assessed in 1996, infection levels increased from 43% to 71%, and mortality increased from 26% to 61%, whereas no change was apparent in Glacier National Park, Montana, stands. The impacts of high mortality and infection levels, high crown kill, and reduced regeneration potential, suggest that the long-term persistence of whitebark pine in the southern part of the study area is in jeopardy.","We thank Peter Achuff, Cory Cherriere, Jennifer Hintz, Kay Izlar, Adrian Leslie, Donna and Doug McKown, Iain Smith, Mel Waggy, Dorothy Wallace-Senft, Justin West, and Sonya White for their enthusiastic field work.

Climate change is expected to exacerbate regional mortality events; however, prediction remains difficult because the physiological mechanisms underlying drought survival and mortality are poorly understood. We developed a hydraulically based theory considering carbon balance and insect resistance that allowed development and examination of hypotheses regarding survival and mortality. Multiple mechanisms may cause mortality during drought. A common mechanism for plants with isohydric regulation of water status results from avoidance of drought-induced hydraulic failure via stomatal closure, resulting in carbon starvation and a cascade of downstream effects such as reduced resistance to biotic agents. Mortality by hydraulic failure per se may occur for isohydric seedlings or trees near their maximum height. Although anisohydric plants are relatively drought-tolerant, they are predisposed to hydraulic failure because they operate with narrower hydraulic safety margins during drought. Elevated temperatures should exacerbate carbon starvation and hydraulic failure. Biotic agents may amplify and be amplified by drought-induced plant stress. Wet multidecadal climate oscillations may increase plant susceptibility to drought-induced mortality by stimulating shifts in hydraulic architecture, effectively predisposing plants to water stress. Climate warming and increased frequency of extreme events will probably cause increased regional mortality episodes. Isohydric and anisohydric water potential regulation may partition species between survival and mortality, and, as such, incorporating this hydraulic framework may be effective for modeling plant survival and mortality under future climate conditions.","We appreciate the editorial assistance of Clif Meyer, Karla Lopez and Chris Zou.

We derived annual fire extent from an existing fire atlas that includes 5038 fire polygons recorded from 12,070,086 ha, or 71% of the forested land in Idaho and Montana west of the Continental Divide. The 11 regional-fire years, those exceeding the 90th percentile in annual fire extent from 1900 to 2003 (>102,314 ha or approximately 1% of the fire atlas recording area), were concentrated early and late in the century (six from 1900 to 1934 and five from 1988 to 2003). During both periods, regional-fire years were ones when warm springs were followed by warm, dry summers and also when the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) was positive. Spring snowpack was likely reduced during warm springs and when PDO was positive, resulting in longer fire seasons. Regional-fire years did not vary with El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) or with climate in antecedent years. The long mid-20th century period lacking regional-fire years (1935-1987) had generally cool springs, generally negative PDO, and a lack of extremely dry summers; also, this was a period of active fire suppression. The climate drivers of regionally synchronous fire that we inferred are congruent with those of previous centuries in this region, suggesting a strong influence of spring and summer climate on fire activity throughout the 20th century despite major land-use change and fire suppression efforts. The relatively cool, moist climate during the mid-century gap in regional-fire years likely contributed to the success of fire suppression during that period. In every regional-fire year, fires burned across a range of vegetation types. Given our results and the projections for warmer springs and continued warm, dry summers, forests of the U.S. northern Rockies are likely to experience synchronous, large fires in the future.","This project would not have been possible without the help of those within the U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service who maintained and shared fire atlas data with us.

Mortality has progressed rapidly. Area affected increased 58% between 2005 and 2006 on the Mancos-Dolores Ranger District, San Juan National Forest, where it equaled nearly 10% of the aspen cover type. In four stands that were measured twice, incidence of mortality increased from 7–9% in 2002/2003 to 31–60% in 2006. Mortality generally decreased with increasing elevation over the primary elevation range of aspen and occurred on less steep slopes than healthy aspen. Slope-weighted mean aspects of aspen cover type were northern at low elevations and generally southern at high elevations. Relative frequency of mortality was generally highest on southern to western aspects. In 31 stands measured in detail, mortality ranged from 0 to 100% (mean 32%) and was negatively correlated with stand density (P=0.033). Size of trees affected was strongly correlated with amount of current mortality (P<0.001), and current mortality was skewed toward larger diameter classes. Density of regeneration was in a low range typical of undisturbed stands and did not increase with overstory mortality.Agents that typically kill mature trees in aspen stands were unimportant in this mortality. Instead, a group of interchangeable, usually secondary agents was most commonly associated with mortality, including Cytospora canker (usually caused by Valsa sordida), aspen bark beetles (Trypophloeus populi and Procryphalus mucronatus), poplar borer (Saperda calcarata), and bronze poplar borer (Agrilus liragus). The rapidity of mortality, mortality agents involved, and probably other causal factors distinguish this phenomenon from the long-term loss of aspen cover usually attributed to successional processes operating in an altered disturbance regime (and often exacerbated by ungulate browsing). Our data are consistent with a hypothesis that (a) predisposing factors include stand maturation, low density, southern aspects and low elevations; (b) a major inciting factor was the recent, acute drought accompanied by high temperatures, and; (c) contributing factors and proximate agents of mortality are the common biotic agents observed. On sites with poor regeneration and weak root systems, clones may die, resulting in the long-term loss of aspen forest cover.","AcknowledgementsThis work was supported in part by the USDA Forest Service, Forest Health Monitoring, Evaluation Monitoring Program.

In this species, the supercooling point (SCP) is representative of mortality induced by acute cold exposure. Mountain pine beetle SCP and associated cold-induced mortality fluctuate throughout a generation, with the highest SCPs prior to and following winter. Using observed SCPs of field-collected D. ponderosae larvae throughout the developmental season and associated phloem temperatures, we developed a mechanistic model that describes the SCP distribution of a population as a function of daily changes in the temperature-dependent processes leading to gain and loss of cold tolerance. It is based on the changing proportion of individuals in three states: (1) a non cold-hardened, feeding state, (2) an intermediate state in which insects have ceased feeding, voided their gut content and eliminated as many ice-nucleating agents as possible from the body, and (3) a fully cold-hardened state where insects have accumulated a maximum concentration of cryoprotectants (e.g. glycerol). Shifts in the proportion of individuals in each state occur in response to the driving variables influencing the opposite rates of gain and loss of cold hardening. The level of cold-induced mortality predicted by the model and its relation to extreme winter temperature is in good agreement with a range of field and laboratory observations. Our model predicts that cold tolerance of D. ponderosae varies within a season, among seasons, and among geographic locations depending on local climate. This variability is an emergent property of the model, and has important implications for understanding the insect's response to seasonal fluctuations in temperature, as well as population response to climate change. Because cold-induced mortality is but one of several major influences of climate on D. ponderosae population dynamics, we suggest that this model be integrated with others simulating the insect's biology.","AcknowledgmentsThanks to R.E.

,pub.1011429986,10.1175/jcli3850.1,,,,Trends in Snowfall versus Rainfall in the Western United States,"Abstract
                  The water resources of the western United States depend heavily on snowpack to store part of the wintertime precipitation into the drier summer months. A well-documented shift toward earlier runoff in recent decades has been attributed to 1) more precipitation falling as rain instead of snow and 2) earlier snowmelt. The present study addresses the former, documenting a regional trend toward smaller ratios of winter-total snowfall water equivalent (SFE) to winter-total precipitation (P) during the period 1949–2004.
                  The trends toward reduced SFE are a response to warming across the region, with the most significant reductions occurring where winter wet-day minimum temperatures, averaged over the study period, were warmer than −5°C. Most SFE reductions were associated with winter wet-day temperature increases between 0° and +3°C over the study period. Warmings larger than this occurred mainly at sites where the mean temperatures were cool enough that the precipitation form was less susceptible to warming trends.
                  The trends toward reduced SFE/P ratios were most pronounced in March regionwide and in January near the West Coast, corresponding to widespread warming in these months. While mean temperatures in March were sufficiently high to allow the warming trend to produce SFE/P declines across the study region, mean January temperatures were cooler, with the result that January SFE/P impacts were restricted to the lower elevations near the West Coast.
                  Extending the analysis back to 1920 shows that although the trends presented here may be partially attributable to interdecadal climate variability associated with the Pacific decadal oscillation, they also appear to result from still longer-term climate shifts.","Thanks to Alexander Gershunov and Emelia Bainto for assistance in retrieving and processing SOD data, and to Kelly Redmond and Ken Kunkel for feedback and advice concerning COOP observations.

,pub.1044475302,10.1007/s10980-005-6190-3,,,,Complex interactions shaping aspen dynamics in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem,"Loss of aspen (Populus tremuloides) has generated concern for aspen persistence across much of the western United States. However, most studies of aspen change have been at local scales and our understanding of aspen dynamics at broader scales is limited. At local scales, aspen loss has been attributed to fire exclusion, ungulate herbivory, and climate change. Understanding the links between biophysical setting and aspen presence, growth, and dynamics is necessary to develop a large-scale perspective on aspen dynamics. Specific objectives of this research were to (1) map aspen distribution and abundance across the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), (2) measure aspen change in the GYE over the past 50 years (3) determine if aspen loss occurs in particular biophysical settings and (4) investigate the links between biophysical setting and aspen presence, growth, and change in canopy cover. We found that aspen is rare in the GYE, occupying 1.4% of the region. We found an average of 10% aspen loss overall, much lower than that suggested by smaller-scale studies. Aspen loss corresponded with biophysical settings with the lowest aspen growth rates, where aspen was most abundant. The highest aspen growth rates were at the margins of its current distribution, so most aspen occur in biophysical settings less favorable to their growth.",,,Landscape Ecology,,,Springer Nature,"0921-2973, 1572-9761",,2006-08,2006,,2006-08,21,6,933-951,All OA; Gold,Article,Research Article,"Brown, Kathryn; Hansen, Andrew J.; Keane, Robert E.; Graumlich, Lisa J.","Brown, Kathryn (Rocky Mountain Research Station, Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory, USDA Forest Service, 5775 W.

We compiled a comprehensive database of large wildfires in western United States forests since 1970 and compared it with hydroclimatic and land-surface data. Here, we show that large wildfire activity increased suddenly and markedly in the mid-1980s, with higher large-wildfire frequency, longer wildfire durations, and longer wildfire seasons. The greatest increases occurred in mid-elevation, Northern Rockies forests, where land-use histories have relatively little effect on fire risks and are strongly associated with increased spring and summer temperatures and an earlier spring snowmelt.",,,Science,,,American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS),"0036-8075, 1095-9203",,2006-07-06,2006,2006-07-06,2006-08-18,313,5789,940-943,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Westerling, A.

Dominant plants provide habitat and ecosystem structure, so changes in their distribution can be expected to have cascading effects on entire communities. Observing areas that respond quickly to climate fluctuations provides foresight into future ecological changes and will help prioritize conservation efforts. We investigated patterns of mortality in six dominant plant species during a drought in the southwestern United States. We quantified population mortality for each species across its regional distribution and tested hypotheses to identify ecological stress gradients for each species. Our results revealed three major patterns: (1) dominant species from diverse habitat types (i.e., riparian, chaparral, and low- to high-elevation forests) exhibited significant mortality, indicating that the effects of drought were widespread; (2) average mortality differed among dominant species (one-seed juniper[Juniperus monosperma (Engelm.) Sarg.] 3.3%; manzanita[Arctostaphylos pungens Kunth], 14.6%; quaking aspen[Populus tremuloides Michx.], 15.4%; ponderosa pine[Pinus ponderosa P. & C. Lawson], 15.9%; Fremont cottonwood[Populus fremontii S. Wats.], 20.7%; and pinyon pine[Pinus edulis Engelm.], 41.4%); (3) all dominant species showed localized patterns of very high mortality (24-100%) consistent with water stress gradients. Land managers should plan for climatic uncertainty by promoting tree recruitment in rare habitat types, alleviating unnatural levels of competition on dominant plants, and conserving sites across water stress gradients. High-stress sites, such as those we examined, have conservation value as barometers of change and because they may harbor genotypes that are adapted to climatic extremes.","We thank M.

I considered the impact of six fire management practices on alien invasions: fire suppression, forest fuel reduction, prescription burning in crown-fire ecosystems, fuel breaks, targeting of noxious aliens, and postfire rehabilitation. Most western United States forests have had fire successfully excluded for unnaturally long periods of time, and this appears to have favored the exclusion of alien plant species. Forest fuel reduction programs have the potential for greatly enhancing forest vulnerability to alien invasions. In part this is due to the focus on reestablishing pre-Euro-American fire regimes on a landscape that differs from pre-Euro-American landscapes in the abundance of aggressive non-native species. We may be forced to choose between restoring ""natural""fire regimes or altering fire regimes to favor communities of native species. Intensive grazing in many western forests may exacerbate the alien problem after fire and temporally decoupling grazing and fire restoration may reduce the alien threat. Many shrubland ecosystems such as the Intermountain West sagebrush steppe or California chaparral have a natural, high-intensity crown fire regime that is less amenable to forest restoration tactics. Historical use of prescribed fire for type conversion of shrublands to more useful grazing lands has played some role in the massive annual grass invasion that threatens these shrublands. Fuel breaks pose a special invasive plant risk because they promote alien invasion along corridors into wildland areas. Use of prescription burning to eliminate noxious aliens has had questionable success, particularly when applied to disturbance-dependent annuals, and success is most likely when coupled with ecosystem restoration that alters the competitive balance between aliens and natives. Artificial seeding of alien species as a form of postfire stabilization appears to cause more problems than it solves and may even enhance alien invasion.","I thank T. McGinnis and K. Merriam for sharing results of their field work that contributed insights into these problems, and J.

Of particular concern is regional-scale mortality of overstory trees, which rapidly alters ecosystem type, associated ecosystem properties, and land surface conditions for decades. Here, we quantify regional-scale vegetation die-off across southwestern North American woodlands in 2002-2003 in response to drought and associated bark beetle infestations. At an intensively studied site within the region, we quantified that after 15 months of depleted soil water content, >90% of the dominant, overstory tree species (Pinus edulis, a piñon) died. The die-off was reflected in changes in a remotely sensed index of vegetation greenness (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), not only at the intensively studied site but also across the region, extending over 12,000 km2 or more; aerial and field surveys confirmed the general extent of the die-off. Notably, the recent drought was warmer than the previous subcontinental drought of the 1950s. The limited, available observations suggest that die-off from the recent drought was more extensive than that from the previous drought, extending into wetter sites within the tree species' distribution. Our results quantify a trigger leading to rapid, drought-induced die-off of overstory woody plants at subcontinental scale and highlight the potential for such die-off to be more severe and extensive for future global-change-type drought under warmer conditions.","We thank participants of the Drought Workshop in Flagstaff in 2003 and J.

,pub.1029824051,10.1890/04-0545,,,,FEDERAL FOREST‐FIRE POLICY IN THE UNITED STATES,"Forest‐fire policy of U.S. federal agencies has evolved from the use of small patrols in newly created National Parks to diverse policy initiatives and institutional arrangements that affect millions of hectares of forests. Even with large expenditures and substantial infrastructure dedicated to fire suppression, the annual area burned by wildfire has increased over the last decade. Given the current and future challenges of fire management, and based on analytical research and review of existing policies and their implications, we believe several changes and re‐emphases in existing policy are warranted. Most importantly, the actual goal of fuels‐management projects should be the reduction of potential fire behavior and effects, not the simple reduction of fuels. To improve safety and economic efficiency, fire‐suppression policies should recognize differences in the characteristics of wildfires, and strategies should be tailored to better respond to the unique demands of each fire. Where forest fires are burning large areas, as in the western United States, reducing the trend of increased amounts of burned area may require a diversity of treatments, including prescribed burning, mechanical fuels treatment, and increased use of the Wildland Fire Use Policy. Assessment of how fire is affecting forests would be enhanced if land‐management agencies reported the area burned by low‐, mixed‐, and high‐severity fire and what proportion is outside the desired trend or range of conditions for each forest type. Congress should provide an improved budgetary process for fire and fuels management, with a larger annual federal fire‐suppression budget. Additionally, reducing annual area burned will require long‐term coordinated efforts by federal and state governments, with robust partnerships between land‐management agencies and the public in collaborative planning and stewardship. Research and adaptive management are essential in allowing fire‐hazard‐reduction projects to move forward where proposed projects are met with uncertainty and mistrust. While legislative reform may be desirable, a strategy that is not entirely dependent on new legislation is needed. Building on existing programs that are consistent with a science‐based strategy will enable land‐management agencies to better utilize information in pursuit of the overall objective of reducing uncharacteristically severe wildfires.","We thank Emily Moghaddas, Neil Sugihara, and Jason Moghaddas for reviewing an earlier version of this manuscript.

,pub.1017177204,10.1175/bams-86-1-39,,,,DECLINING MOUNTAIN SNOWPACK IN WESTERN NORTH AMERICA*,"In western North America, snow provides crucial storage of winter precipitation, effectively transferring water from the relatively wet winter season to the typically dry summers. Manual and telemetered measurements of spring snow-pack, corroborated by a physically based hydrologic model, are examined here for climate-driven fluctuations and trends during the period of 1916–2002. Much of the mountain West has experienced declines in spring snowpack, especially since midcentury, despite increases in winter precipitation in many places. Analysis and modeling show that climatic trends are the dominant factor, not changes in land use, forest canopy, or other factors. The largest decreases have occurred where winter temperatures are mild, especially in the Cascade Mountains and northern California. In most mountain ranges, relative declines grow from minimal at ridgetop to substantial at snow line. Taken together, these results emphasize that the West's snow resources are already declining as earth's climate warms. *Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and the Ocean Contribution Number 1073",,,Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society,,,American Meteorological Society,"0003-0007, 1520-0477",,2005-01,2005,,2005-01,86,1,39-49,All OA; Bronze,Article,Research Article,"Mote, Philip W.; Hamlet, Alan F.; Clark, Martyn P.; Lettenmaier, Dennis P.","Mote, Philip W.

,pub.1055496425,10.1021/es035311z,15667071,,,Impact of the 2002 Canadian Forest Fires on Particulate Matter Air Quality in Baltimore City,"With increasing evidence of adverse health effects associated with particulate matter (PM), the exposure impact of natural sources, such as forest fires, has substantial public health relevance. In addition to the threat to nearby communities, pollutants released from forest fires can travel thousands of kilometers to heavily populated urban areas. There was a dramatic increase in forest fire activity in the province of Quebec, Canada, during July 2002. The transport of PM released from these forest fires was examined using a combination of a moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer satellite image, back-trajectories using a hybrid single-particle Lagrangian integrated trajectory, and local light detection and ranging measurements. Time- and size-resolved PM was evaluated at three ambient and four indoor measurement sites using a combination of direct reading instruments (laser, time-of-flight aerosol spectrometer, nephelometer, and an oscillating microbalance). The transport and monitoring results consistently identified a forest fire related PM episode in Baltimore that occurred the first weekend of July 2002 and resulted in as much as a 30-fold increase in ambientfine PM. On the basis of tapered element oscillating microbalance measurements, the 24 h PM25 concentration reached 86 microg/m3 on July 7, 2002, exceeding the 24 h national ambient air quality standard. The episode was primarily comprised of particles less than 2.5 microm in aerodynamic diameter, highlighting the preferential transport of the fraction of PM that is of greatest health concern. Penetration of the ambient episode indoors was efficient (median indoor-to-outdoor ratio 0.91) such that the high ambient levels were similarly experienced indoors. These results are significant in demonstrating the impact of a natural source thousands of kilometers away on ambient levels of and potential exposures to air pollution within an urban center. This research highlights the significance of transboundary air pollution and the need for studies that assess the public health impacts associated with such sources and transport processes.","This investigation relied on data and funding support from three separate air pollution studies including the Baltimore Supersite (EPA Grant R82806301), the Baltimore Traffic Study (EPA Grant R827436010), and the Center for Childhood Asthma in the Urban Environment (EPA Grant R826724 and NIEHS Grant PO1ES09606).

This dieback process has tremendous ecological and economic importance, yet remains poorly understood. This paper summarizes our understanding of aspen dieback in North America, identifies potential processes that contribute to reduced vigour and dieback of aspen stands, and examines the scales (stand, ecosite, regional) at which these processes operate. Many factors including pathogens, nutrition, or successional changes may be involved in the decline of aspen vigour and thereby contribute to the dieback process. However, insect defoliation, drought, and thaw–freeze events appear to be the most likely factors initiating dieback in mature aspen stands. Further study is clearly needed to elucidate the mechanisms and landscape patterns of dieback.

If climate changes, this contribution may change. A shift in the timing of springtime snowmelt towards earlier in the year already is observed during 1948–2000 in many western rivers. Streamflow timingchanges for the 1995–2099 period are projected using regression relationsbetween observed streamflow-timing responses in each river, measured by the temporal centroid of streamflow (CT) each year, and local temperature (TI) and precipitation (PI) indices. Under 21st century warming trends predicted by the Parallel Climate Model (PCM) under business-as-usual greenhouse-gas emissions, streamflow timing trends across much of western North America suggest even earlier springtime snowmelt than observed to date. Projected CT changes are consistent with observed rates and directions of change during the past five decades, and are strongest in the Pacific Northwest, Sierra Nevada, and Rocky Mountains, where many rivers eventually run 30–40 daysearlier. The modest PI changes projected by PCM yield minimal CT changes. The responses of CT to the simultaneous effects of projected TI and PI trends are dominated by the TI changes. Regression-based CT projections agree with those from physically-based simulations of rivers in the Pacific Northwest and Sierra Nevada.",,,Climatic Change,,,Springer Nature,"0165-0009, 1573-1480",,2004-01,2004,,2004-01,62,1-3,217-232,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Stewart, Iris T.; Cayan, Daniel R.; Dettinger, Michael D.","Stewart, Iris T.

                    New spruce beetle,
                    Dendroctonus rufipennis
                    (Kirby), adults of univoltine and semivoltine life cycles, as well as re-emerged parent beetles, were laboratory-tested for differences in reproductive capacity and brood characteristics. Parameters measured from the three groups include dry weight, lipid content, and egg production. Brood characteristics measured include egg length, development rates, and survival densities. Although there were some differences in dry weight and lipid content, females from the univoltine, semivoltine, and re-emerged parent groups did not greatly differ in egg production. Egg length was slightly smaller for eggs from univoltine parents, but other measured brood characteristics did not differ among the three parent groups, including the density of the surviving brood. In a field study, re-emerged parent beetles were determined to be flight capable. These findings imply that populations with univoltine broods will have higher growth rates than semivoltine populations. Consequently, the presence of univoltine broods, which is weather dependent, increases the risk of a beetle outbreak or can accelerate the rate of spruce mortality in an established outbreak. These results also indicate that re-emerged parent beetles can contribute substantially to brood production. Suppression strategies can be more effective if managers consider the ecological consequences of brood production from the three parent groups.

                    Des nouveaux adultes du scolyte de l'épinette,
                    Dendroctonus rufipennis
                    (Kirby), à cycles univoltin et semivoltin, de même que des parents qui émergent une seconde fois, ont été testés en laboratoire afin d'y identifier les différences entre leurs potentiels reproductifs et entre les caractéristiques de leurs progénitures. Les variables mesurées chez les trois groupes sont la masse sèche, le contenu en lipides et la production d'oeufs. Nous avons examiné les caractéristiques de la progéniture, soit la longueur des oeufs, le taux de développement et les densités de survie. Il y a des différences de masse sèche et de contenu en lipides entre les femelles univoltines, les femelles semivoltines et les femelles émergées à nouveau, mais la production d'oeufs est semblable chez les trois groupes. Les oeufs issus des parents univoltins sont légèrement plus courts, mais les autres caractéristiques sont comparables chez les trois groupes de parents, y compris la densité des progénitures survivantes. Au cours de tests en nature, les parents émergés pour une seconde fois se sont révélés capables de voler. Ces résultats semblent vouloir dire que les populations aux progénitures univoltines auront des taux de croissance plus rapides que les populations semivoltines. En conséquence, la présence de progénitures univoltines, qui dépend de la température, augmente les risques d'une épidémie de scolytes ou peut accélérer la mortalité des épinettes au cours d'une épidémie établie. Ces résultats laissent croire aussi que les parents émergés pour une seconde fois peuvent contribuer substantiellement à la production de la progéniture.

Riparian areas frequently differ from adjacent uplands in vegetative composition and structure, geomorphology, hydrology, microclimate, and fuel characteristics. These features may contribute to different fire environments, fire regimes, and fire properties (frequency, severity, behavior, and extent) in riparian areas relative to uplands. In certain forested riparian areas, fire frequency has generally been lower, and fire severity has been more moderate than in adjacent uplands, but in other areas, fires have appeared to burn riparian areas with comparable frequency. Impacts of land use and management may strongly influence fire properties and regimes in riparian areas. Fire suppression, livestock grazing, logging, damming and flow regulation, agricultural diversions, channel modifications, and introduction of invasive species have led to shifts in plant species composition, structure and distribution of fuel loads, and changes in microclimate and areal extent of riparian areas. Cumulative impacts of human alterations are likely to exert the most pronounced influence on fire behavior during periods of drought and under conditions of extreme fire weather. Riparian plant species possess adaptations to fluvial disturbances that facilitate survival and reestablishment following fires, thus contributing to the rapid recovery of many streamside habitats. Given the critical resource values of riparian zones, additional data are needed to understand interactions between fire and riparian ecosystems, and how riparian zones affect spatial and temporal patterns of fires at the landscape scale. An improved understanding of fire ecology and effects in riparian areas is needed to prescribe ecologically sound rehabilitation projects following fire.","AcknowledgmentsThanks to participants of the workshop “Multiple influences of riparian/stream ecosystems on fires in western forest landscapes” Tucson, AZ, 13–15 March, 2001 for their contribution to development and synthesis of ideas regarding fire and riparian areas: Scott Vail, Wayne Minshall, Steve Wondzell, Pat McDowell, Mike Lohrey, Gene Rogers, Chris Frissell, Bob Beschta, Bernie Bahro, Jon Keeley, Elaine Sutherland, Kevin Ryan, Carol Hunsaker, Jim Agee, Gregg Riegel, Elizabeth Crowe, Jeanne Chambers, John Pitlick, Bill Baker, Laurie Osterstock, Phil Omi, Dave Perry, Ron Wakimoto, Robert Clark, Bob Ziemer, Mary Manning, Bob Gresswell, Holly McLean, John Potyondy, and Larry Schmidt.

The same attributes that result in an insect herbivore being termed a “pest” predispose it to disruption by climate change, particularly global warming. Although many pest species have co‐evolved relationships with forest hosts that may or may not be harmful over the long term, the effects on these relationships may have disastrous consequences. We consider both the data and models necessary to evaluate the impacts of climate change, as well as the assessments that have been made to date. The results indicate that all aspects of insect outbreak behavior will intensify as the climate warms. This reinforces the need for more detailed monitoring and evaluations as climatic events unfold. Luckily, we are well placed to make rapid progress, using software tools, databases, and the models that are already available.","We thank Pierre Duval for preparing Figures 2, 3, 4, and 5, Leslie Brown for GIS support, and Tom Edwards for supplying the Utah GAP vegetation cover data.

Most conceptual forest development models do not incorporate current knowledge of the: (1) complexity of structures (including spatial patterns) and developmental processes; (2) duration of development in long-lived forests; (3) complex spatial patterns of stands that develop in later stages of seres; and particularly (4) the role of disturbances in creating structural legacies that become key elements of the post-disturbance stands. We elaborate on existing models for stand structural development using natural stand development of the Douglas-fir—western hemlock sere in the Pacific Northwest as our primary example; most of the principles are broadly applicable while some processes (e.g. role of epicormic branches) are related to specific species. We discuss the use of principles from disturbance ecology and natural stand development to create silvicultural approaches that are more aligned with natural processes. Such approaches provide for a greater abundance of standing dead and down wood and large old trees, perhaps reducing short-term commercial productivity but ultimately enhancing wildlife habitat, biodiversity, and ecosystem function, including soil protection and nutrient retention.","AcknowledgementsMany individuals associated with long-term research programs at the H.J.

,pub.1042994701,10.1046/j.1523-1739.1997.95405.x,,,,Effects of Livestock Grazing on Stand Dynamics and Soils in Upland Forests of the Interior West,"Many ponderosa pine and mixed‐conifer forests of the western, interior United States have undergone substantial structural and compositional changes since settlement of the West by Euro‐Americans. Historically, these forests consisted of widely spaced, fire‐tolerant trees underlain by dense grass swards. Over the last 100 years they have developed into dense stands consisting of more fire‐sensitive and disease‐susceptible species. These changes, sometimes referred to as a decline in “forest health,” have been attributed primarily to two factors: active suppression of low‐intensity fires (which formerly reduced tree recruitment, especially of fire‐sensitive, shade‐tolerant species), and selective logging of larger, more fire‐tolerant trees. A third factor, livestock grazing, is seldom discussed, although it may be as important as the other two factors. Livestock alter forest dynamics by (1) reducing the biomass and density of understory grasses and sedges, which otherwise outcompete conifer seedlings and prevent dense tree recruitment, and (2) reducing the abundance of fine fuels, which formerly carried low‐intensity fires through forests. Grazing by domestic livestock has thereby contributed to increasingly dense western forests and to changes in tree species composition. In addition, exclosure studies have shown that livestock alter ecosystem processes by reducing the cover of herbaceous plants and litter, disturbing and compacting soils, reducing water infiltration rates, and increasing soil erosion.
Muchos bosques de pino ponderosa y de coníferas mixtas en el occidente interior de Estados Unidos han tenido cambios sustanciales en su estructura y composición desde la colonización del Oeste por euro‐americanos. Históricamente, estos bosques consistían de árboles tolerantes al fuego ampliamente espaciados y de densos manchones de pasto. En los últimos 100 años se han desarrollado en densos bosques que consisten de especies sensibles al fuego y susceptibles a enfermedades. Estos cambios, conocidos como una declinación en la “salud del bosque, han sido atribuidos a dos factores principales: la supresión activa de fuegos de baja intensidad que anteriormente reducían el reclutamiento de árboles, especialmente de especies sensibles al fuego y tolerantes a la sombra; y la tala selectiva de árboles más grandes y tolerantes al fuego. Un tercer factor, el pastoreo de ganado, es discutido raramente, aunque puede ser tan importante como los otros dos. El ganado altera la dinámica del bosque (1) reduciendo la biomasa y densidad de pastos del sotobosque, los cuales compiten con plántulas de coníferas y previenen el reclutamiento denso de árboles, (2) reduciendo la abundancia de combustibles pequeños, que anteriormente favorecían la expansión de fuegos de baja intensidad. Por lo tanto, el pastoreo de ganado doméstico ha contribuido a que los bosques occidentales sean cada vez más densos y a cambios en la composición de especies arbóreas. Además estudios de exclusión muestran que el ganado altera procesos de los ecosistemas al reducir la cobertura de plantas herbáceas y de humus, al perturbar y compactar suelos, al reducir las tasas de infiltración de agua y al incrementar la erosión del suelo.",,,Conservation Biology,,,Wiley,"0888-8892, 1523-1739",,1997-04-20,1997,2002-02-27,1997-04-20,11,2,315-327,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Belsky, A.

The methods were based on the observation that following beetle-caused mortality of canopy trees, growth rates of subcanopy Engelmann spruce (Piceaengelmannii (Parry) Engelm.) and subalpine fir (Abieslasiocarpa (Hook.) Nutt.) increase severalfold and remain high for several decades or more. Although inspection of unstandardized individual tree ring-width chronologies is useful for detecting past disturbance, standardized mean chronologies based on ≥20 cores assure adequate sample sizes and improve interpretability. Standardization of ring-width series by fitting the observed data to a horizontal line passing through the mean ring width facilitates detection of past outbreaks better than other standardization models such as polynomial or cubic spline functions. The incorporation of samples from dead-standing trees increases sample sizes and reveals patterns in the early history of a stand that may not be detectable if samples only from live trees are used. Patterns of release frequencies based on nearly all the trees in a stand were helpful in confirming interpretations not always clear from the chronologies alone. Variations in tree population age structures were related to the history of disturbance by beetle outbreak, but age structure alone was not a reliable means of detecting past outbreaks.",,,Canadian Journal of Forest Research,,,Canadian Science Publishing,"0045-5067, 1208-6037",,1991-02-01,1991,,1991-02-01,21,2,242-254,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Veblen, Thomas T.; Hadley, Keith S.; Reid, Marion S.; Rebertus, Alan J.","Veblen, Thomas T.

Many other vertebrates also harvest and feed on these seeds, however, and the roles of these animals as dispersers and establishers of whitebark pine has been uncertain. This work demonstrates that birds other than the nutcracker, rodents, and other mammals do not have the requisite behaviors to systematically disperse or establish whitebark pine, and that the pine is therefore dependent on the nutcracker for its regeneration.

accurately forecasts high-resolution, fast-timescale variables such as the
surface wind speed, precipitation, and atmospheric water vapor. It has
important implications for planning wind energy resources, predicting extreme
weather events such as tropical cyclones, extra-tropical cyclones, and
atmospheric rivers. FourCastNet matches the forecasting accuracy of the ECMWF
Integrated Forecasting System (IFS), a state-of-the-art Numerical Weather
Prediction (NWP) model, at short lead times for large-scale variables, while
outperforming IFS for variables with complex fine-scale structure, including
precipitation. FourCastNet generates a week-long forecast in less than 2
seconds, orders of magnitude faster than IFS. The speed of FourCastNet enables
the creation of rapid and inexpensive large-ensemble forecasts with thousands

,pub.1143451867,10.48550/arxiv.2111.13587,,,,Adaptive Fourier Neural Operators: Efficient Token Mixers for Transformers,"Vision transformers have delivered tremendous success in representation
learning. This is primarily due to effective token mixing through self
attention. However, this scales quadratically with the number of pixels, which
becomes infeasible for high-resolution inputs. To cope with this challenge, we
propose Adaptive Fourier Neural Operator (AFNO) as an efficient token mixer
that learns to mix in the Fourier domain. AFNO is based on a principled
foundation of operator learning which allows us to frame token mixing as a
continuous global convolution without any dependence on the input resolution.
This principle was previously used to design FNO, which solves global
convolution efficiently in the Fourier domain and has shown promise in learning
challenging PDEs. To handle challenges in visual representation learning such
as discontinuities in images and high resolution inputs, we propose principled
architectural modifications to FNO which results in memory and computational
efficiency. This includes imposing a block-diagonal structure on the channel
mixing weights, adaptively sharing weights across tokens, and sparsifying the
frequency modes via soft-thresholding and shrinkage. The resulting model is
highly parallel with a quasi-linear complexity and has linear memory in the
sequence size. AFNO outperforms self-attention mechanisms for few-shot
segmentation in terms of both efficiency and accuracy. For Cityscapes
segmentation with the Segformer-B3 backbone, AFNO can handle a sequence size of
65k and outperforms other efficient self-attention mechanisms.",,,arXiv,,,,,,2021-11-24,2021,,,,,,All OA; Green,Preprint,Research Article,"Guibas, John; Mardani, Morteza; Li, Zongyi; Tao, Andrew; Anandkumar, Anima; Catanzaro, Bryan","Guibas, John (); Mardani, Morteza (); Li, Zongyi (); Tao, Andrew (); Anandkumar, Anima (); Catanzaro, Bryan ()",,"Guibas, John (); Mardani, Morteza (); Li, Zongyi (); Tao, Andrew (); Anandkumar, Anima (); Catanzaro, Bryan ()",,,,,,,,,,,8,8,,2.89,49,,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1143451867,46 Information and Computing Sciences; 4611 Machine Learning,,,,,,B11 Computer Science and Informatics,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,,,

To minimize the interference of wildfires on economic and social development, and formulate targeted mitigation strategies, it is imperative to understand the scale and extent of previous wildfire occurrences. In this study, we first investigated the temporal distributions of past wildfires in California divided by size and causes and analyzed the changes observed in the past two decades against the last century. The trend of wildfires in different time scales (yearly and monthly), as well as the distribution of wildfires across different spatial scales (administrative units, climate divisions in California from 2000 to 2019) were also studied. Furthermore, to extract the significant variables on the risk of wildfire occurrence, multivariate analyses of environmental and human-related variables with wildfire densities were carried out. The results show that the wildfire density distribution of the burned area in California conforms to the characteristics of the Pareto distribution. Over the past two decades, the frequency of small (< 500 acres), human-caused wildfires has increased most rapidly, and they are widely distributed in central and western California. The wildfire season has lengthened and the peak months have been advanced from August to July. In terms of the variables related to the risk of wildfire occurrence, the temperature, vapor pressure deficit, grass cover, and the distance to roads are crucial. This study reveals the relationship between environmental and social background conditions and the spatial-temporal distribution of wildfires, which can provide a reference for wildfire management, the formulation of future targeted wildfire emergency plans, and the planning of future land use in California.","Li and Banerjee acknowledge the funding support from the University of California Laboratory Fees Research Program funded by the UC Office of the President (UCOP), grant ID LFR-20-653572.

This paper synthesizes understanding of the potential effects of changing climate and fire regimes on Pacific Northwest forests, including effects on disturbance and stress interactions, forest structure and composition, and post-fire ecological processes. We frame this information in a risk assessment context, and conclude with management implications and future research needs.ResultsLarge and severe fires in the Pacific Northwest are associated with warm and dry conditions, and such conditions will likely occur with increasing frequency in a warming climate. According to projections based on historical records, current trends, and simulation modeling, protracted warmer and drier conditions will drive lower fuel moisture and longer fire seasons in the future, likely increasing the frequency and extent of fires compared to the twentieth century. Interactions between fire and other disturbances, such as drought and insect outbreaks, are likely to be the primary drivers of ecosystem change in a warming climate. Reburns are also likely to occur more frequently with warming and drought, with potential effects on tree regeneration and species composition. Hotter, drier sites may be particularly at risk for regeneration failures.ConclusionResource managers will likely be unable to affect the total area burned by fire, as this trend is driven strongly by climate. However, fuel treatments, when implemented in a spatially strategic manner, can help to decrease fire intensity and severity and improve forest resilience to fire, insects, and drought. Where fuel treatments are less effective (wetter, high-elevation, and coastal forests), managers may consider implementing fuel breaks around high-value resources. When and where post-fire planting is an option, planting different genetic stock than has been used in the past may increase seedling survival. Planting seedlings on cooler, wetter microsites may also help to increase survival. In the driest topographic locations, managers may need to consider where they will try to forestall change and where they will allow conversions to vegetation other than what is currently dominant.","We thank D.

Understanding how fire weather danger indices changed in the past and how such changes affected forest fire activity is important in a changing climate. We used the Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI), calculated from two reanalysis data sets, ERA-40 and ERA Interim, to examine the temporal variation of forest fire danger in Europe in 1960–2012. Additionally, we used national forest fire statistics from Greece, Spain and Finland to examine the relationship between fire danger and fires. There is no obvious trend in fire danger for the time period covered by ERA-40 (1960–1999), whereas for the period 1980–2012 covered by ERA Interim, the mean FWI shows an increasing trend for southern and eastern Europe which is significant at the 99% confidence level. The cross correlations calculated at the national level in Greece, Spain and Finland between total area burned and mean FWI of the current season is of the order of 0.6, demonstrating the extent to which the current fire-season weather can explain forest fires.

,pub.1104265987,10.1002/eap.1756,29809291,,,From the stand scale to the landscape scale: predicting the spatial patterns of forest regeneration after disturbance,"Shifting disturbance regimes can have cascading effects on many ecosystems processes. This is particularly true when the scale of the disturbance no longer matches the regeneration strategy of the dominant vegetation. In the yellow pine and mixed conifer forests of California, over a century of fire exclusion and the warming climate are increasing the incidence and extent of stand-replacing wildfire; such changes in severity patterns are altering regeneration dynamics by dramatically increasing the distance from live tree seed sources. This has raised concerns about limitations to natural reforestation and the potential for conversion to non-forested vegetation types, which in turn has implications for shifts in many ecological processes and ecosystem services. We used a California region-wide data set with 1,848 plots across 24 wildfires in yellow pine and mixed conifer forests to build a spatially explicit habitat suitability model for forecasting postfire forest regeneration. To model the effect of seed availability, the critical initial biological filter for regeneration, we used a novel approach to predicting spatial patterns of seed availability by estimating annual seed production from existing basal area and burn severity maps. The probability of observing any conifer seedling in a 60-m2 area (the field plot scale) was highly dependent on 30-yr average annual precipitation, burn severity, and seed availability. We then used this model to predict regeneration probabilities across the entire extent of a ""new"" fire (the 2014 King Fire), which highlights the spatial variability inherent in postfire regeneration patterns. Such forecasts of postfire regeneration patterns are of importance to land managers and conservationists interested in maintaining forest cover on the landscape. Our tool can also help anticipate shifts in ecosystem properties, supporting researchers interested in investigating questions surrounding alternative stable states, and the interaction of altered disturbance regimes and the changing climate.","This work was funded by a cost‐share agreement between the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region and the University of California, Berkeley.

Some jurisdictions have provided standards, codes and guidelines, which may greatly help planning, prevention and protection against wildfires. This work presents a wide systematic review of standards, codes and guidelines for the design and construction of the built environment against WUI fire hazard from North American, European, Oceanic countries, alongside with trans-national codes. The main information reviewed includes: the definition of WUI hazards, risk areas and related severity classes, the influence of land and environmental factors, the requirements for building materials, constructions, utilities, fire protection measures and road access. Some common threads among the documents reviewed have been highlighted. They include similar attempts at: (a) defining WUI risk areas and severity classes, (b) considering land factors including the defensible space (also known as ignition zones), (c) prescribing requirements for buildings and access. The main gaps highlighted in the existing standards/guidelines include lacks of detailed and widespread requirements for resources, fire protection measures, and lacks of taking into account environmental factors in detail. The main design and construction principles contained in the reviewed documents are largely based on previous research and/or good practices. Hence, the main contributions of this paper consist in: (a) systematically disseminate these guidance concepts, (b) setting a potential basis for the development of standards/guidelines in other jurisdictions lacking dedicated WUI fire design guidance, (c) highlighting gaps in existing standards/guidelines to be addressed by current and future research.","Open access funding provided by Lund University.

In response, the wildfire management community has devoted substantial effort to better understand where buildings and vegetation co-occur, and to establish outreach programs to reduce wildfire damage to homes. However, the extent to which the location of buildings affected by wildfire overlaps the WUI, and where and when outreach programs are established relative to wildfire, is unclear. We found that most threatened and destroyed buildings in the conterminous US were within the WUI (59 and 69% respectively), but this varied considerably among states. Buildings closest to existing Firewise communities sustained lower rates of destruction than further distances. Fires with the greatest building loss were close to outreach programs, but the nearest Firewise community was established after wildfires had occurred for 76% of destroyed buildings. In these locations, and areas new to the WUI or where the fire regime is predicted to change, pre-emptive outreach could improve the likelihood of building survival and reduce the human and financial costs of structure loss.","We gratefully acknowledge support for this work by the Joint Fire Science Program and the Rocky Mountain Research Station and Northern Research Station of the USDA.

We characterize the conditions under which private property owners will control or eradicate, and determine how this decision depends on property-specific environmental features and on the behavior of other landowners. We show that high mobility or lower control by others result in lower private control. But when the marginal dynamic cost of the bad is sufficiently large, we find that global eradication may be privately optimal – in these cases, eradication arises in the non-cooperative game and is also socially optimal so there is, in effect, no externality.",,,European Economic Review,,,Elsevier,"0014-2921, 1873-572X",,2017-05,2017,,2017-05,94,,23-44,All OA; Green,Article,Research Article,"Costello, Christopher; Quérou, Nicolas; Tomini, Agnes","Costello, Christopher (Bren School, 4410 Bren Hall, UC Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA 93117, United States; NBER, United States); Quérou, Nicolas (CNRS UMR5474 LAMETA, Montpellier F-34000, France); Tomini, Agnes (Aix-Marseille School of Economics, Aix-Marseille University, CNRS EHESS, Centre de la Vieille Charité, 2 rue de la charité, Marseille F-13002, France)","Costello, Christopher (University of California, Santa Barbara; National Bureau of Economic Research)","Costello, Christopher (University of California, Santa Barbara; National Bureau of Economic Research); Quérou, Nicolas (CNRS UMR5474 LAMETA, Montpellier F-34000, France); Tomini, Agnes (Aix-Marseille University)","University of California, Santa Barbara; Aix-Marseille University; National Bureau of Economic Research",grid.133342.4; grid.5399.6; grid.250279.b,Santa Barbara; Marseille; Cambridge,California; ; Massachusetts,United States; France; United States,,,,,,0,0,,,,https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01594268/file/Public_Bads_SecondRevision_Submit_%7BCE41BE02-3350-4AF5-8E5F-0FA522217470%7D.pdf,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1083893355,38 Economics; 3801 Applied Economics,,,,,,C17 Business and Management Studies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,
,pub.1014198015,10.1002/eap.1376,27755741,,,Factors related to building loss due to wildfires in the conterminous United States,"Wildfire is globally an important ecological disturbance affecting biochemical cycles and vegetation composition, but also puts people and their homes at risk. Suppressing wildfires has detrimental ecological effects and can promote larger and more intense wildfires when fuels accumulate, which increases the threat to buildings in the wildland-urban interface (WUI). Yet, when wildfires occur, typically only a small proportion of the buildings within the fire perimeter are lost, and the question is what determines which buildings burn. Our goal was to examine which factors are related to building loss when a wildfire occurs throughout the United States. We were particularly interested in the relative roles of vegetation, topography, and the spatial arrangement of buildings, and how their respective roles vary among ecoregions. We analyzed all fires that occurred within the conterminous United States from 2000 to 2010 and digitized which buildings were lost and which survived according to Google Earth historical imagery. We modeled the occurrence as well as the percentage of buildings lost within clusters using logistic and linear regression. Overall, variables related to topography and the spatial arrangement of buildings were more frequently present in the best 20 regression models than vegetation-related variables. In other words, specific locations in the landscape have a higher fire risk, and certain development patterns can exacerbate that risk. Fire policies and prevention efforts focused on vegetation management are important, but insufficient to solve current wildfire problems. Furthermore, the factors associated with building loss varied considerably among ecoregions suggesting that fire policy applied uniformly across the United States will not work equally well in all regions and that efforts to adapt communities to wildfires must be regionally tailored.","Acknowledgments This work was supported by a research joint venture agreement with the Rocky Mountain Research Station and Northern Research Station of the USDA Forest Service, by a Fulbright Exchange program fellowship awarded to Patricia Alexandre, and by a PhD fellowship provided by the Foundation for Science and Technology to Patricia Alexandre in 2014 (FCT – Portugal – reference: SFRH/BD/92960/2013, financed by POPH ‐ QREN ‐ Tipology 4.1 – Advanced formation funded by the European Social Fund and by the MEC National Fund).

,pub.1051110795,10.1071/wf13158,,,,The role of defensible space for residential structure protection during wildfires,"With the potential for worsening fire conditions, discussion is escalating over how to best reduce effects on urban communities. A widely supported strategy is the creation of defensible space immediately surrounding homes and other structures. Although state and local governments publish specific guidelines and requirements, there is little empirical evidence to suggest how much vegetation modification is needed to provide significant benefits. We analysed the role of defensible space by mapping and measuring a suite of variables on modern pre-fire aerial photography for 1000 destroyed and 1000 surviving structures for all fires where homes burned from 2001 to 2010 in San Diego County, CA, USA. Structures were more likely to survive a fire with defensible space immediately adjacent to them. The most effective treatment distance varied between 5 and 20 m (16–58 ft) from the structure, but distances larger than 30 m (100 ft) did not provide additional protection, even for structures located on steep slopes. The most effective actions were reducing woody cover up to 40% immediately adjacent to structures and ensuring that vegetation does not overhang or touch the structure. Multiple-regression models showed landscape-scale factors, including low housing density and distances to major roads, were more important in explaining structure destruction. The best long-term solution will involve a suite of prevention measures that include defensible space as well as building design approach, community education and proactive land use planning that limits exposure to fire.","We acknowledge funding from the US Geological Survey Fire Risk Scenario Project and note that use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the US Government.",,International Journal of Wildland Fire,,,CSIRO Publishing,"1049-8001, 1448-5516",,2014-10-14,2014,2014-10-14,2014,23,8,1165-1175,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Syphard, Alexandra D.; Brennan, Teresa J.; Keeley, Jon E.","Syphard, Alexandra D.

Wildfires in the wildland-urban interface on the Colorado Front Range, resulting in thousands of homes burned and civilian fatalities, although devastating, are not without historical reference. These fires are consistent with the characteristics of large, damaging, interface fires that threaten communities across much of the western United States. Wildfires are inevitable, but the destruction of homes, ecosystems, and lives is not. We propose the principles of risk analysis to provide land management agencies, first responders, and affected communities who face the inevitability of wildfires the ability to reduce the potential for loss.

,pub.1049213369,10.1007/s11166-006-0172-y,,,,Private investment and government protection,"Hurricane Katrina did massive damage because New Orleans and the Gulf Coast were not appropriately protected. Wherever natural disasters threaten, the government—in its traditional role as public goods provider—must decide what level of protection to provide to an area. It does so by purchasing protective capital, such as levees for a low-lying city. (“Protection” also consists of prohibiting projects that raise risk levels, such as draining swamps.)We show that if private capital is more likely to locate in better-protected areas, as would be expected, then the marginal social value of protection will increase with the level of protection provided. That is, the benefit function is convex, contrary to the normal assumption of concavity. When the government protects and the private sector invests, there may be multiple Nash equilibria due to the ill-behaved nature of the benefit function. Policy makers must compare them, rather than merely follow local optimality conditions, to find the equilibrium offering the highest social welfare.There is usually considerable uncertainty about the amount of private investment that will accompany any level of protection, further complicating the government’s choice problem. We show that when deciding on the level of protection to provide now, the government must take account of the option value of increasing the level of protection in the future. We briefly examine but dismiss the value of rules of thumb, such as building for 1000-year floods or other rules that ignore benefits and costs.",,,Journal of Risk and Uncertainty,,,Springer Nature,"0895-5646, 1573-0476",,2006-09,2006,,2006-09,33,1-2,73-100,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Kousky, Carolyn; Luttmer, Erzo F.

Some jurisdictions have provided standards, codes and guidelines, which may greatly help planning, prevention and protection against wildfires. This work presents a wide systematic review of standards, codes and guidelines for the design and construction of the built environment against WUI fire hazard from North American, European, Oceanic countries, alongside with trans-national codes. The main information reviewed includes: the definition of WUI hazards, risk areas and related severity classes, the influence of land and environmental factors, the requirements for building materials, constructions, utilities, fire protection measures and road access. Some common threads among the documents reviewed have been highlighted. They include similar attempts at: (a) defining WUI risk areas and severity classes, (b) considering land factors including the defensible space (also known as ignition zones), (c) prescribing requirements for buildings and access. The main gaps highlighted in the existing standards/guidelines include lacks of detailed and widespread requirements for resources, fire protection measures, and lacks of taking into account environmental factors in detail. The main design and construction principles contained in the reviewed documents are largely based on previous research and/or good practices. Hence, the main contributions of this paper consist in: (a) systematically disseminate these guidance concepts, (b) setting a potential basis for the development of standards/guidelines in other jurisdictions lacking dedicated WUI fire design guidance, (c) highlighting gaps in existing standards/guidelines to be addressed by current and future research.","Open access funding provided by Lund University.

,pub.1103601748,10.1071/wf17135,,,,Where wildfires destroy buildings in the US relative to the wildland–urban interface and national fire outreach programs,"Over the past 30 years, the cost of wildfire suppression and homes lost to wildfire in the US have increased dramatically, driven in part by the expansion of the wildland–urban interface (WUI), where buildings and wildland vegetation meet. In response, the wildfire management community has devoted substantial effort to better understand where buildings and vegetation co-occur, and to establish outreach programs to reduce wildfire damage to homes. However, the extent to which the location of buildings affected by wildfire overlaps the WUI, and where and when outreach programs are established relative to wildfire, is unclear. We found that most threatened and destroyed buildings in the conterminous US were within the WUI (59 and 69% respectively), but this varied considerably among states. Buildings closest to existing Firewise communities sustained lower rates of destruction than further distances. Fires with the greatest building loss were close to outreach programs, but the nearest Firewise community was established after wildfires had occurred for 76% of destroyed buildings. In these locations, and areas new to the WUI or where the fire regime is predicted to change, pre-emptive outreach could improve the likelihood of building survival and reduce the human and financial costs of structure loss.","We gratefully acknowledge support for this work by the Joint Fire Science Program and the Rocky Mountain Research Station and Northern Research Station of the USDA.

We characterize the conditions under which private property owners will control or eradicate, and determine how this decision depends on property-specific environmental features and on the behavior of other landowners. We show that high mobility or lower control by others result in lower private control. But when the marginal dynamic cost of the bad is sufficiently large, we find that global eradication may be privately optimal – in these cases, eradication arises in the non-cooperative game and is also socially optimal so there is, in effect, no externality.",,,European Economic Review,,,Elsevier,"0014-2921, 1873-572X",,2017-05,2017,,2017-05,94,,23-44,All OA; Green,Article,Research Article,"Costello, Christopher; Quérou, Nicolas; Tomini, Agnes","Costello, Christopher (Bren School, 4410 Bren Hall, UC Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA 93117, United States; NBER, United States); Quérou, Nicolas (CNRS UMR5474 LAMETA, Montpellier F-34000, France); Tomini, Agnes (Aix-Marseille School of Economics, Aix-Marseille University, CNRS EHESS, Centre de la Vieille Charité, 2 rue de la charité, Marseille F-13002, France)","Costello, Christopher (University of California, Santa Barbara; National Bureau of Economic Research)","Costello, Christopher (University of California, Santa Barbara; National Bureau of Economic Research); Quérou, Nicolas (CNRS UMR5474 LAMETA, Montpellier F-34000, France); Tomini, Agnes (Aix-Marseille University)","University of California, Santa Barbara; Aix-Marseille University; National Bureau of Economic Research",grid.133342.4; grid.5399.6; grid.250279.b,Santa Barbara; Marseille; Cambridge,California; ; Massachusetts,United States; France; United States,,,,,,0,0,,,,https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01594268/file/Public_Bads_SecondRevision_Submit_%7BCE41BE02-3350-4AF5-8E5F-0FA522217470%7D.pdf,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1083893355,38 Economics; 3801 Applied Economics,,,,,,C17 Business and Management Studies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100,
,pub.1014198015,10.1002/eap.1376,27755741,,,Factors related to building loss due to wildfires in the conterminous United States,"Wildfire is globally an important ecological disturbance affecting biochemical cycles and vegetation composition, but also puts people and their homes at risk. Suppressing wildfires has detrimental ecological effects and can promote larger and more intense wildfires when fuels accumulate, which increases the threat to buildings in the wildland-urban interface (WUI). Yet, when wildfires occur, typically only a small proportion of the buildings within the fire perimeter are lost, and the question is what determines which buildings burn. Our goal was to examine which factors are related to building loss when a wildfire occurs throughout the United States. We were particularly interested in the relative roles of vegetation, topography, and the spatial arrangement of buildings, and how their respective roles vary among ecoregions. We analyzed all fires that occurred within the conterminous United States from 2000 to 2010 and digitized which buildings were lost and which survived according to Google Earth historical imagery. We modeled the occurrence as well as the percentage of buildings lost within clusters using logistic and linear regression. Overall, variables related to topography and the spatial arrangement of buildings were more frequently present in the best 20 regression models than vegetation-related variables. In other words, specific locations in the landscape have a higher fire risk, and certain development patterns can exacerbate that risk. Fire policies and prevention efforts focused on vegetation management are important, but insufficient to solve current wildfire problems. Furthermore, the factors associated with building loss varied considerably among ecoregions suggesting that fire policy applied uniformly across the United States will not work equally well in all regions and that efforts to adapt communities to wildfires must be regionally tailored.","Acknowledgments This work was supported by a research joint venture agreement with the Rocky Mountain Research Station and Northern Research Station of the USDA Forest Service, by a Fulbright Exchange program fellowship awarded to Patricia Alexandre, and by a PhD fellowship provided by the Foundation for Science and Technology to Patricia Alexandre in 2014 (FCT – Portugal – reference: SFRH/BD/92960/2013, financed by POPH ‐ QREN ‐ Tipology 4.1 – Advanced formation funded by the European Social Fund and by the MEC National Fund).

,pub.1051110795,10.1071/wf13158,,,,The role of defensible space for residential structure protection during wildfires,"With the potential for worsening fire conditions, discussion is escalating over how to best reduce effects on urban communities. A widely supported strategy is the creation of defensible space immediately surrounding homes and other structures. Although state and local governments publish specific guidelines and requirements, there is little empirical evidence to suggest how much vegetation modification is needed to provide significant benefits. We analysed the role of defensible space by mapping and measuring a suite of variables on modern pre-fire aerial photography for 1000 destroyed and 1000 surviving structures for all fires where homes burned from 2001 to 2010 in San Diego County, CA, USA. Structures were more likely to survive a fire with defensible space immediately adjacent to them. The most effective treatment distance varied between 5 and 20 m (16–58 ft) from the structure, but distances larger than 30 m (100 ft) did not provide additional protection, even for structures located on steep slopes. The most effective actions were reducing woody cover up to 40% immediately adjacent to structures and ensuring that vegetation does not overhang or touch the structure. Multiple-regression models showed landscape-scale factors, including low housing density and distances to major roads, were more important in explaining structure destruction. The best long-term solution will involve a suite of prevention measures that include defensible space as well as building design approach, community education and proactive land use planning that limits exposure to fire.","We acknowledge funding from the US Geological Survey Fire Risk Scenario Project and note that use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the US Government.",,International Journal of Wildland Fire,,,CSIRO Publishing,"1049-8001, 1448-5516",,2014-10-14,2014,2014-10-14,2014,23,8,1165-1175,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Syphard, Alexandra D.; Brennan, Teresa J.; Keeley, Jon E.","Syphard, Alexandra D.

Wildfires in the wildland-urban interface on the Colorado Front Range, resulting in thousands of homes burned and civilian fatalities, although devastating, are not without historical reference. These fires are consistent with the characteristics of large, damaging, interface fires that threaten communities across much of the western United States. Wildfires are inevitable, but the destruction of homes, ecosystems, and lives is not. We propose the principles of risk analysis to provide land management agencies, first responders, and affected communities who face the inevitability of wildfires the ability to reduce the potential for loss.

The LANDFIRE data production framework is interdisciplinary, science-based and fully repeatable, and integrates many geospatial technologies including biophysical gradient analyses, remote sensing, vegetation modelling, ecological simulation, and landscape disturbance and successional modelling. LANDFIRE data products are created as 30-m raster grids and are available over the internet at www.landfire.gov, accessed 22 April 2009. The data products are produced at scales that may be useful for prioritizing and planning individual hazardous fuel reduction and ecosystem restoration projects; however, the applicability of data products varies by location and specific use, and products may need to be adjusted by local users.","For all their hard work on the LANDFIRE project, I thank: Ann Wolf, Birgit Peterson, Brendan Ward, Chris Toney, Donald Long, Greg Dillon, James Napoli, Jeff Natharius, Jennifer Bushur, Jody Bramel, Julia Lippert, Karen Iverson, Katrina Kreyenhagen, Kevin Ryan, Kristine Lee, Lisa Holsinger, Marc Weber, Matt Reeves, Maureen Mislivets, Sean Parks, Thomas Thompson, and Tobin Smail, USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station; Chris Winne, Christine Frame, Deborah Lissfelt, Heather Kreilick, John Caratti, Karen Short, and Stacey Romeo, Systems for Environmental Management; Jim Smith, Kori Blankenship, Randy Swaty, Darren Johnson, The Nature Conservancy; Brian Tolk, Donald Ohlen, Kurtis Nelson, Jim Vogemlann, Jay Kost, Russell Johnson, Xuexia Chen, USGS National Center for Earth Resources Observation Sciences; Henry Bastian, Department of Interior, Office of Wildland Fire Management; Bruce Jeske, Daniel Crittenden, USDA Forest Service Washington Office, and Zhiilang Zhu, USDA Forest Service Research and Development.

Risk externalities complicate this decision; the risk that one homeowner faces depends on the risk mitigation decisions of neighboring homeowners. This paper models the problem as a game played between neighbors in a wildland–urban interface. The model explains why sub-optimal investment in defensible space is likely and provides insights into the likely effectiveness of programs designed to encourage households to increase their defensible space. Data from Boulder County, Colorado confirm that a household's defensible space decision depends on the defensible space outcomes at neighboring sites.",,,Journal of Urban Economics,,,Elsevier,"0094-1190, 1095-9068",,2008-09,2008,,2008-09,64,2,488-495,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Shafran, Aric P.","Shafran, Aric P.

,pub.1049213369,10.1007/s11166-006-0172-y,,,,Private investment and government protection,"Hurricane Katrina did massive damage because New Orleans and the Gulf Coast were not appropriately protected. Wherever natural disasters threaten, the government—in its traditional role as public goods provider—must decide what level of protection to provide to an area. It does so by purchasing protective capital, such as levees for a low-lying city. (“Protection” also consists of prohibiting projects that raise risk levels, such as draining swamps.)We show that if private capital is more likely to locate in better-protected areas, as would be expected, then the marginal social value of protection will increase with the level of protection provided. That is, the benefit function is convex, contrary to the normal assumption of concavity. When the government protects and the private sector invests, there may be multiple Nash equilibria due to the ill-behaved nature of the benefit function. Policy makers must compare them, rather than merely follow local optimality conditions, to find the equilibrium offering the highest social welfare.There is usually considerable uncertainty about the amount of private investment that will accompany any level of protection, further complicating the government’s choice problem. We show that when deciding on the level of protection to provide now, the government must take account of the option value of increasing the level of protection in the future. We briefly examine but dismiss the value of rules of thumb, such as building for 1000-year floods or other rules that ignore benefits and costs.",,,Journal of Risk and Uncertainty,,,Springer Nature,"0895-5646, 1573-0476",,2006-09,2006,,2006-09,33,1-2,73-100,Closed,Article,Research Article,"Kousky, Carolyn; Luttmer, Erzo F.

Lee County, Florida did not experience damage from Andrew. The storm was a “near-miss.” We hypothesize that Andrew conveyed risk information to homeowners in the county. A difference-in-differences (DND) framework identifies the effect of this information on property values in areas likely to experience significant storm damage. The DND findings indicate at least a 19 percent decline in property values.","AcknowledgementsPartial support for this research was provided by a grant from the NCSU Faculty Research and Professional Development Fund (#350590).

We assessed causal agents and rates of tree mortality, and short-term impacts to forest structure and composition based on a network of 11.3-m fixed-radius plots installed within three elevation bands on the Eldorado, Stanislaus, Sierra and Sequoia National Forests (914–1219, 1219–1524 and 1524–1829 m on the Eldorado, Stanislaus, Sierra; 1219–1524, 1524–1829, and 1829–2134 m on the Sequoia), where tree mortality was most severe. About 48.9% of trees died between 2014 and 2017. Tree mortality ranged from 46.1 ± 3.3% on the Eldorado National Forest to 58.7 ± 3.7% on the Sierra National Forest. Significantly higher levels of tree mortality occurred in the low elevation band (60.4 ± 3.0%) compared to the high elevation band (46.1 ± 2.9%). Ponderosa pine, Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws., exhibited the highest levels of tree mortality (89.6%), with 39.4% of plots losing all P. ponderosa. Mortality of P. ponderosa was highest at the lowest elevations, concentrated in larger-diameter trees, and attributed primarily to colonization by western pine beetle, Dendroctonus brevicomis LeConte. About 89% of P. ponderosa in the three largest diameter classes were killed, representing loss of an important structural component of these forests with implications to wildlife species of conservation concern. Sugar pine, P. lambertiana Dougl., exhibited the second highest levels of tree mortality (48.1%). Mortality of P. lambertiana was concentrated in the mid-diameter classes and attributed primarily to colonization by mountain pine beetle, D. ponderosae Hopkins. White fir, Abies concolor (Gord. & Glend.) Lindl. ex Hildebr., and incense cedar, Calocedrus decurrens (Torr.) Florin, exhibited 26.3% and 23.2% mortality, respectively. Only one Quercus died. Tree mortality (numbers of trees killed) was positively correlated with tree density and slope. A time lag was observed between the occurrence of drought and the majority of tree mortality. Tree regeneration (seedlings and saplings) was dominated by C. decurrens and Quercus spp., representing a potential long-term shift in composition from forests that were dominated by P. ponderosa. About 22.2% of plots contained plant species considered invasive, including cheatgrass, Bromus tectorum L., ripgut brome, Bromus diandrus Roth, bull thistle, Cirsium vulgare (Savi) Ten., and yellow star-thistle, Centaura solstitalis L. The implications of these and other results to recovery and management of drought-impacted forests in the central and southern Sierra Nevada are discussed.","We thank D. Cluck and A.

,pub.1092833220,10.1093/biosci/bix146,,,,"Drought, Tree Mortality, and Wildfire in Forests Adapted to Frequent Fire","Massive tree mortality has occurred rapidly in frequent-fire-adapted forests of the Sierra Nevada, California. This mortality is a product of acute drought compounded by the long-established removal of a key ecosystem process: frequent, low- to moderate-intensity fire. The recent tree mortality has many implications for the future of these forests and the ecological goods and services they provide to society. Future wildfire hazard following this mortality can be generally characterized by decreased crown fire potential and increased surface fire intensity in the short to intermediate term. The scale of present tree mortality is so large that greater potential for “mass fire” exists in the coming decades, driven by the amount and continuity of dry, combustible, large woody material that could produce large, severe fires. For long-term adaptation to climate change, we highlight the importance of moving beyond triage of dead and dying trees to making “green” (live) forests more resilient.",We thank the three referees for their comments that improved this article.,,BioScience,,,Oxford University Press (OUP),"0006-3568, 1525-3244",,2018-01-17,2018,2018-01-17,2018-02-01,68,2,77-88,All OA; Hybrid,Article,Research Article,"Stephens, Scott L; Collins, Brandon M; Fettig, Christopher J; Finney, Mark A; Hoffman, Chad M; Knapp, Eric E; North, Malcolm P; Safford, Hugh; Wayman, Rebecca B","Stephens, Scott L (Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California, in Berkeley); Collins, Brandon M (Center for Fire Research and Outreach at the University of California, in Berkeley); Fettig, Christopher J (US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station, in Davis, California); Finney, Mark A (USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station, in Missoula, Montana); Hoffman, Chad M (Department of Forest and Range Stewardship at Colorado State University, in Fort Collins); Knapp, Eric E (USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station, in Redding, California); North, Malcolm P (US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station, in Davis, California); Safford, Hugh (Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California, in Davis; HS is also with the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region, in Vallejo, California); Wayman, Rebecca B (Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California, in Davis)","Stephens, Scott L (Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California, in Berkeley)","Stephens, Scott L (Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California, in Berkeley); Collins, Brandon M (Center for Fire Research and Outreach at the University of California, in Berkeley); Fettig, Christopher J (Pacific Southwest Research Station); Finney, Mark A (Rocky Mountain Research Station); Hoffman, Chad M (Colorado State University); Knapp, Eric E (Pacific Southwest Research Station); North, Malcolm P (Pacific Southwest Research Station); Safford, Hugh (Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California, in Davis; HS is also with the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region, in Vallejo, California); Wayman, Rebecca B (Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California, in Davis)",Rocky Mountain Research Station; Pacific Southwest Research Station; Colorado State University,grid.497401.f; grid.497404.a; grid.47894.36,Fort Collins; Albany; Fort Collins,Colorado; California; Colorado,United States; United States; United States,,,,,,0,0,,,,https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/article-pdf/68/2/77/25082802/bix146.pdf,https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1092833220,41 Environmental Sciences; 4102 Ecological Applications,,,,,,C14 Geography and Environmental Studies,3 Good Health and Well Being,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,100

,pub.1107126686,10.1016/j.foreco.2018.09.006,,,,"Tree mortality following drought in the central and southern Sierra Nevada, California, U.S.","Much of California, U.S. experienced a severe drought in 2012–2015 inciting a large tree mortality event in the central and southern Sierra Nevada. We assessed causal agents and rates of tree mortality, and short-term impacts to forest structure and composition based on a network of 11.3-m fixed-radius plots installed within three elevation bands on the Eldorado, Stanislaus, Sierra and Sequoia National Forests (914–1219, 1219–1524 and 1524–1829 m on the Eldorado, Stanislaus, Sierra; 1219–1524, 1524–1829, and 1829–2134 m on the Sequoia), where tree mortality was most severe. About 48.9% of trees died between 2014 and 2017. Tree mortality ranged from 46.1 ± 3.3% on the Eldorado National Forest to 58.7 ± 3.7% on the Sierra National Forest. Significantly higher levels of tree mortality occurred in the low elevation band (60.4 ± 3.0%) compared to the high elevation band (46.1 ± 2.9%). Ponderosa pine, Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws., exhibited the highest levels of tree mortality (89.6%), with 39.4% of plots losing all P. ponderosa. Mortality of P. ponderosa was highest at the lowest elevations, concentrated in larger-diameter trees, and attributed primarily to colonization by western pine beetle, Dendroctonus brevicomis LeConte. About 89% of P. ponderosa in the three largest diameter classes were killed, representing loss of an important structural component of these forests with implications to wildlife species of conservation concern. Sugar pine, P. lambertiana Dougl., exhibited the second highest levels of tree mortality (48.1%). Mortality of P. lambertiana was concentrated in the mid-diameter classes and attributed primarily to colonization by mountain pine beetle, D. ponderosae Hopkins. White fir, Abies concolor (Gord. & Glend.) Lindl. ex Hildebr., and incense cedar, Calocedrus decurrens (Torr.) Florin, exhibited 26.3% and 23.2% mortality, respectively. Only one Quercus died. Tree mortality (numbers of trees killed) was positively correlated with tree density and slope. A time lag was observed between the occurrence of drought and the majority of tree mortality. Tree regeneration (seedlings and saplings) was dominated by C. decurrens and Quercus spp., representing a potential long-term shift in composition from forests that were dominated by P. ponderosa. About 22.2% of plots contained plant species considered invasive, including cheatgrass, Bromus tectorum L., ripgut brome, Bromus diandrus Roth, bull thistle, Cirsium vulgare (Savi) Ten., and yellow star-thistle, Centaura solstitalis L. The implications of these and other results to recovery and management of drought-impacted forests in the central and southern Sierra Nevada are discussed.","We thank D. Cluck and A.

,pub.1104265987,10.1002/eap.1756,29809291,,,From the stand scale to the landscape scale: predicting the spatial patterns of forest regeneration after disturbance,"Shifting disturbance regimes can have cascading effects on many ecosystems processes. This is particularly true when the scale of the disturbance no longer matches the regeneration strategy of the dominant vegetation. In the yellow pine and mixed conifer forests of California, over a century of fire exclusion and the warming climate are increasing the incidence and extent of stand-replacing wildfire; such changes in severity patterns are altering regeneration dynamics by dramatically increasing the distance from live tree seed sources. This has raised concerns about limitations to natural reforestation and the potential for conversion to non-forested vegetation types, which in turn has implications for shifts in many ecological processes and ecosystem services. We used a California region-wide data set with 1,848 plots across 24 wildfires in yellow pine and mixed conifer forests to build a spatially explicit habitat suitability model for forecasting postfire forest regeneration. To model the effect of seed availability, the critical initial biological filter for regeneration, we used a novel approach to predicting spatial patterns of seed availability by estimating annual seed production from existing basal area and burn severity maps. The probability of observing any conifer seedling in a 60-m2 area (the field plot scale) was highly dependent on 30-yr average annual precipitation, burn severity, and seed availability. We then used this model to predict regeneration probabilities across the entire extent of a ""new"" fire (the 2014 King Fire), which highlights the spatial variability inherent in postfire regeneration patterns. Such forecasts of postfire regeneration patterns are of importance to land managers and conservationists interested in maintaining forest cover on the landscape. Our tool can also help anticipate shifts in ecosystem properties, supporting researchers interested in investigating questions surrounding alternative stable states, and the interaction of altered disturbance regimes and the changing climate.","This work was funded by a cost‐share agreement between the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region and the University of California, Berkeley.
