Interacting effects of topography, vegetation, human activities and wildland-urban interfaces on wildfire ignition risk

2017-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Effective fire prevention requires a better understanding of the patterns and causes of fire ignition. In this study, we focus on the interacting factors known to influence fire ignition risk, such as the type of vegetation, topographical features and the wildland-urban interface (WUI; i.e. where urban development meet or intermingle with wildland). We also analyze the human activities and motivations related to f...
