🔥 New in IJWF: Van Dusen et al. show fuel treatments can reduce high-severity fire, especially when recent and combining thinning with prescribed fire, while extreme fire spread can overwhelm treatment effects in complex landscapes. 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/WF25... #IJWildlandFire

A semi-automated, empirical workflow to evaluate the effects of fuel treatments across biophysical conditions. Our workflow is built with flexibly to support the evaluation of treatment effects across multiple measures effectiveness. In this study, we focus on one response variable: vegetation burn severity (low-moderate vs high severity). The workflow includes three broad phases: Data preparation, Fire-level Matching, Landscape-level Modeling. (1) Geospatial data preparation includes the selection of previous fires and historical treatments, gathering geospatial datasets, selecting a response variable (burn severity) and data extraction, (2) fire-level matching aims to pair treated and untreated points based on fire-specific drivers of the response variable, and (3) landscape-level models use model-based inference to evaluate treatment effectiveness across multiple biophysical conditions.

The mean predicted probability of high severity among treatment classes across the Klamath-Trinity Landscape for the east and west random forest classification models. The partial dependence mean probability of high severity for each class was calculated by predicting each treatment class across all other predictors values then taking the mean response. The error bars for each treatment class represents the 95th confidence interval of the mean probability using 1000 bootstrapped datasets to fit our model.

Partial dependence plots for treatment age the west (a) and east (b) study area of the Klamath-Trinity Landscape separated by each treatment type. The dashed, navy untreated line represents the mean probability of high severity for untreated points. Importance was determined by permutation variable importance from the landscape random forest classification model. Each solid line displays the mean relationship between each treatment type and environmental variable across all other environmental variable combinations. The shaded region represents the 95th percentile across variables by treatment type through 1000 bootstrapped models.

🔥 New in IJWF: Charles et al. show that satellite-derived fire maps can underestimate fire frequency, particularly in infrequently burnt areas. Integrating public land fire histories and environmental data improved landscape-scale estimates. 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/WF25... #IJWildlandFire

Fire frequency from 1987 to 2023 in southeast Queensland, Australia derived from (a) observed satellite and (b) public land fire history data. The observed fire frequencies were compared to predictions from: (c) generalised linear model (GLM), (d) generalised additive model (GAM), (e) down-weighted BRT, (f) unweighted BRT, and (g) Infinitely Weighted Logistic Regression (Infinite BRT). White areas are those mapped as unburnt. The maximum estimated fire frequency varied across model types: (a) satellite data = 29; (b) public data = 12; (c) GLM = 29; (d) GAM = 40; (e) down-weighted BRT = 130; (f) unweighted BRT = 115; (g) Infinite BRT = 9. Fewer than 1% of cells had fire frequencies >30 from 1987 to 2023 for GAM, unweighted BRT and down-weighted BRT. Thus, to aid visualisation, fire frequencies >30 are not shown but can be extracted from the database provided online (Charles and Smith 2026).

Comparisons of fire frequency estimates between public land fire history data (‘public’), raw, unmodelled satellite data (‘satellite’) and predictions from a range of model types. The right-hand panel for each model type shows cell counts below 100 to enable comparisons at high fire frequencies (fire frequencies ≥4 had very low cell counts and were difficult to visualise). All fire frequency estimates were compared against the public land fire data as a baseline, with fire frequency at presence points ranging from 0 to a maximum of 16 fires depending on the model. (a) Observed = satellite and public land, (b) generalised linear (GLM), (c) generalised additive (GAM), (d) down-weighted Boosted Regression Tree (BRT), (e) unweighted BRT, and (f) Infinitely Weighted Logistic Regression BRT (Infinite BRT) model predictions.

Generalisable workflow for improving fire frequency estimates using predictive modelling: (a) obtain and reformat fire (e.g. public land and satellite, where available) and environmental (e.g. climate, site productivity, terrain) data; (b) calculate fire frequency from fire history data; (c) run models; (d) produce spatial predictions using the modelled relationship between satellite-derived fire frequency, public land fire frequency and environmental co-variates, which can be projected outside the public estate; and (e) evaluate predictions by comparison of spatial predictions and model performance statistics. The workflow could be used with any fire regime parameter of interest, e.g. substituting fire frequency for fire return interval, time since last fire, or fire seasonality.

🔥 New in IJWF: Lin et al. show that non-composted mulches spread fire faster and produce greater heat flux than composted products. Full-scale tests also reveal wind-driven spotting and particle-size effects in the WUI. 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/WF26... #IJWildlandFire

Progression and key fire behavior phenomena of tests using fir bark with different particle size distributions.

Fire spread rate calculated based on the moving speed of the fire front. Note: the fire spread rate was calculated as the moving speed of the burning region (including the flame front or smoldering front), and the effect of spotting ignition by moving embers was not considered here. Moreover, the fire spread rate of screened compost was not shown, as the fire only burned locally without spreading within the mulch bed. The error bars represent the standard deviations of the repeated tests.

Comparison of peak radiation, convection, and total heat fluxes from different mulch products, measured at 1 foot (~30 cm) beyond and ~4.6 inches (11.8 cm) above the bed boundary as part of a sensor package. Note: these should be considered conservative estimates of the true fire exposure potential because the actual fluxes experienced near the mulch surface are expected to be substantially higher. The error bars represent the standard deviations of the repeated tests.
