1. Post-Fire Vegetation Recovery Monitoring using MODIS Time Series: A Case Study in California
Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/GeoinformatikSammanfattning : Human-caused forest fires have increased in magnitude and frequency, affecting global vegetation and requiring a re-evaluation of fire regimes. Changing fire regimes have led to reduced burned areas in fire- dependent ecosystems and increased areas in fire-independent ecosystems, resulting in changes in land cover and posing a threat to native plant communities.

2. Exploring the factors affecting tree establishment after wildfire in a boreal forest in Sweden
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningSammanfattning : The factors affecting tree establishment in boreal forests after fire will help determine the community composition of the regenerating forest. These may have large consequences on the community dynamics for years after the fire disturbance. LÄS MER
3. Differences and similarities in stand characteristics after prescribed burning and wildfire : implications for conservation of forest biodiversity
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of EcologySammanfattning : 1. Wildfires are a natural disturbance in the boreal forests of Fennoscandia and have shaped and formed forests in the past, resulting in very heterogeneous forests containing large amounts of dead and living trees in various age classes. LÄS MER
4. Evaluating forest wildfire effect on tree increment patterns for boreonemoral forests in Sweden: A pilot study using remote sensing
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : The release of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) has substantially increased the global mean surface air temperature. Increases in global mean surface air temperature will lead to warmer and drier conditions, promoting more frequent, long-lasting, intense forest wildfires. LÄS MER
5. Post-Wildfire Debris Flows: Mapping and Analysis of Risk Factors in Western North America
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : Climate change is leading to in an increase in frequency and severity of wildfires, which in turn can result in the formation of runoff-initiated post-wildfire debris flows. This type of debris flows is, like most debris flows, triggered by heavy precipitation events. LÄS MER
