WF24115Numerical investigation of the effect of wind, slope and fuel moisture on the radiative and convective heating of excelsior fuels

M. S. Sadeghi, Maryam Ghodrat 0000-0003-4009-5262, Duncan Sutherland, Albert Simeoni, Jason Sharples 0000-0002-7816-6989 and Harald Kleine

The present work focuses on the effect of the three main parameters wind, slope angle and fuel moisture on heat transfer in the special type of grass in Australia. The role of convective cooling and its significance in the propagation of fire are of interest.

WF24182The impacts of fire use in the Brazilian Amazon: a bibliometric analysis

Amanda Kesley Cardozo Cancio, Mayerly Alexandra Guerrero-Moreno 0000-0002-6767-2966, Everton Cruz da Silva, Fernando Abreu Oliveira, Karina Dias-Silva, James Ferreira Moura Jr, Thiago Almeida Vieira, Lenize Batista Calvão, Leandro Juen and José Max Barbosa Oliveira-Junior

This study analyzes the impacts of fire use in the Brazilian Amazon based on 192 scientific articles. It underscores the urgency of policies integrating sustainable management and fire governance and highlights the collaboration among academic, governmental and community sectors to protect biodiversity and Amazonian communities.

WF22082Comparing modeled soil temperature and moisture dynamics during prescribed fires, slash-pile burns and wildfires

Peter R. Robichaud 0000-0002-2902-2401, William J. Massman, Anthony Bova, Antonio Girona-García 0000-0001-7003-8950, Andoni Alfaro-Leranoz 0000-0003-0004-4196 and Nancy E. Gibson

Slash-pile burns, prescribed fires and wildfires are disturbances that can cause a spectrum of effects on soil. The process-based Massman HMV (Heat–Moisture–Vapor) soil heating model was evaluated in this study. Results suggest reasonable agreement between the soil heating model and field-measured soil temperatures under various fire scenarios.
