Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are honored to invite you to submit your research in this Special Issue. The forest is an important part of the earth's ecosystem, and protecting the forest is everyone's responsibility. Once a forest fire occurs, most of the time, we can only wait for it to end naturally, which can cause serious damage to forests and the ecological environment. Thus, research on forest fires acts as an important basis for protecting forest grassland resources and promoting the sustainable development of forestry. This Special Issue focuses on forest fire management, particularly at the level of monitoring and prevention. Research results cover both laboratory events and regional wildfire events, and papers from other related disciplines are also welcome.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Through computer, UAV equipment, aircraft, and satellite sensors, the remote sensing of forest fires is used for algorithm development and monitoring;
- Behavioral science, decision support tools, and risk analysis are related to fire management policies and operational event management;
- Fire dynamic modeling (including fire site modeling and fire fighting measures);
- Fire risk assessment and quantification (including risk acceptability);
- The impact of fire on the development of forest ecosystem and even society (short-term, long-term, etc.).
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
