Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit research manuscripts concerning technologies and approaches applied to the effects of climate change on fire danger.
Globally, fires are one of the most serious disturbances and are particularly prevalent in forests. Forest fires promote dynamic changes in ecosystem structure and function, have positive and negative impacts on ecosystems, and have a profound impact on human life and regional developments. With climate change and global warming, the frequency of forest fires is increasing and receives increasing attention as an integral part of global environmental change studies.
This Special Issue aims to collect research articles and reviews on original and innovative research regarding applications, methodologies, case studies, and reviews on new technologies and analytical methodologies dedicated to assessing fire danger and fire effects under climate change. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Remote sensing for post-fire mapping;
- GIS applied in wildfire management;
- Forest fire detection and monitoring;
- Wildfire risk assessment under climate change;
- Wildfire behavior and prediction;
- Forest fire statistics and spatiotemporal variation;
- Prescribed burning effect on forest ecosystem.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
