Such reductions are significant since WFS causes higher negative impacts on biodiversity conservation and higher greenhouse gas emissions. In both regions, PB effectively reduced the large wildfires occurrence, the number of medium and large scars, fire intensity, and emissions, changing the prevalent fire season from the WFS to the MFS. Our results show that the implementation of the IFM program was responsible for a decrease of the areas affected by high fire recurrence in Xerente and Araguaia, when compared with the Zero Fire Phase (2008–2013). We considered two fire seasons: management fire season (MFS, which goes from rainy to mid-dry season, when PBs are undertaken) and wildfires season (WFS, when PBs are not performed and fires tend to grow out of control). The study period into three phases according to the prevalent fire policy and the individual fire scars into four size classes. To understand fire regime dynamics, we divided We focused on two Cerrado ITs with different sizes and hydrological regimes, Xerente and Araguaia, where IFM has been in place since 2015. Here, we aim to fill the gap in the scientific evidence of the PB benefits by relying on the most up-to-date, satellite derived fire datasets of burned area (BA), fire size, duration, emissions, and intensity from 2003 to 2018. However, the effectiveness of such fire management in reducing large wildfires and emissions over Brazil remains mostly unevaluated. PB is commonly applied in the management of fire-prone ecosystems to mitigate large, high-intensity wildfires, the associated emissions, and high fire suppression costs. Testing and improving the protocol can facilitate the collection of compatible data in a wide range of ecosystems and fire environments, aiding in the development of solutions to prevent structural ignition at the Wildland Urban Interface.īrazil has recently (2014) changed from a zero-fire policy to an Integrated Fire Management (IFM) program with the active use of prescribed burning (PB) in federal Protected Areas (PA) and Indigenous Territories (IT) of the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado). The variation was in the same order of magnitude as the bark thickness (1-5 mm). Bark consumption was studied by measuring the circumference variation at several heights on each of three different pine trees. Shrub layer consumption was evaluated to supplement the firebrand generation study. The majority were found to be bark slices (more than 70%) with substantial amounts of pine and shrub twigs. Firebrands were collected from different locations in the forest and analysed for mass and size distribution. Vegetation was characterised with field and remotely sensed data, fire spread and intensity was characterised and meteorological conditions were monitored before and during the burn. A field scale high intensity prescribed fire was conducted in the New Jersey Pine Barrens in March 2013. Water-based latex inks produce bright, durable, and flexible POP displays, soft signage, vehicle signage, and more.This study aims to develop a series of robust and efficient methodologies, which can be applied to understand and estimate firebrand generation and to evaluate firebrand showers close to a fire front.
