Potential of Sentinel-2A data to model surface and canopy fuel characteristics in relation to crown fire hazard
(MDPI, 2018)
Background: Crown fires are often intense and fast spreading and hence can have serious impacts on soil, vegetation, and wildlife habitats. Fire managers try to prevent the initiation and spread of crown fires in forested ...
Modelling canopy fuel and forest stand variables and characterizing the influence of thinning in the stand structure using airborne LiDAR
(Universitat Politécnica de Valéncia, 2016)
Forest fires are a major threat in NW Spain. The importance and frequency of these events in the area suggests the need for fuel management programs to reduce the spread and severity of forest fires. Thinning treatments ...
Estimación de la distribución vertical de combustibles finos del dosel de copas en masas de Pinus sylvestrisempleando datos LiDAR de baja densidad
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2019)
La altura de la base de la copa, la carga de combustible disponible y la densidad aparente son
características estructurales del dosel de copas utilizadas para predecir la actividad de fuego de copas. La
medición directa ...
Modelo de distribución de la carga de combustibles finos en el dosel de copas de rodales regulares de "Pinus Pinaster": efecto de claras combinadas con podas
(Sociedad Española de Ciencias Forestales, 2012)
Los modelos de predicción del riesgo de inicio y propagación de fuegos de copas requieren conocer, entre otros parámetros, la altura de la base de la cubierta de copas (CBH) y la densidad aparente del combustible en la ...
A Density Management Diagram Including Stand Stability and Crown Fire Risk for Pseudotsuga Menziesii (Mirb.) Franco in Spain
(International Mountain Society, 2009)
A static stand density management diagram was constructed for Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) plantations in Spain on the basis of 3 equations that were fitted simultaneously by the full information ...
Assessing the effect of pruning and thinning on crown fire hazard in young Atlantic maritime pine forests
(Elsevier, 2018)
Management of fuel to minimize crown fire hazard is a key challenge in Atlantic forests, particularly for pine species. However, a better understanding of effectiveness of silvicultural treatments, especially forest pruning, ...
