🔥Most Read Fallon et al. present a novel methodology to assess fuel treatment effectiveness in California forests. Using FTEM and FACTS data, they show 61% of treatments modified fire behavior, with fire or removal-based treatments most effective. 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/WF24220 #IJWildlandFire

🔥Most Read Wagner et al. highlight elevated PTSD, depression, anxiety, and sleep problems in wildland firefighters, but baseline risks unclear. They urge clearer separation of general vs fire-specific stress, focus on everyday exposures, long-term impacts. 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/WF24159 #IJWildlandFire

🔥 New in IJWF: Yue et al. present a comprehensive wildfire risk framework for Sichuan, China, integrating hazard and vulnerability. Using six statistical connection methods with logistic regression, they identify the Point-IV-LR model as most effective. 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/WF25089 #IJWildlandFire

🏠🔥New in IJWF: Gjedrem et al. (2025) examine fire risk perception and garden adaptation in Tasmania’s WUI. Residents often underestimate hazards, but personalised garden hazard reports motivated change despite knowledge, resource, and emotional barriers. 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/WF24213 #IJWildlandFire

🌿 New in IJWF: Krix et al. (2025) developed impact models for the Australian Fire Danger Rating System to predict structure loss from wildfires. Using structure density, cleared land, canopy height and terrain ruggedness. 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/WF24148 #IJWildlandFire

🌳New in IJWF Wong et al. show that heat yields in wet sclerophyll fuels vary widely by species and season—especially in live understorey fuels. Fixed values in fire models may overestimate fire intensity. 📄 doi.org/10.1071/WF24227 #IJWildlandFire

🌿 New in IJWF: O’Grady et al. shows how Machine Learning with Landsat can reconstruct fire histories across US military lands. Models achieved >93% accuracy, offering local-scale insights into ignition patterns & fire management for defense landscapes. 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/WF24214 #IJWildlandFire

🌿 New in IJWF: Fisher et al. study the 2023 “Black Spring” in Australia’s northern spinifex deserts. Indigenous ranger-led burns created breaks that slowed or redirected wildfires, showing the potential of large-scale desert fire management to limit megafires. 🔥🌳 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/WF25002

🌿 New in IJWF: Farquhar et al. (2025) studied how reptiles and mammals respond to fire in Triodia-mallee woodlands. Some lizards peaked 1 year post-fire, while others like Ningaui yvonneae preferred long-unburnt, mature spinifex habitat. 🔥🦎 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/WF24... #IJWildlandFire

🌿 New in IJWF: 🔥 Quiñones et al. show that vegetation phenology—captured via remote sensing—strongly influences wildfire spread in NW Europe. Fires spread faster during vegetation dormancy, not peak fire weather. 🌿📡 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/WF24... #IJWildlandFire

🌿 New in IJWF: Belcher et al. explore seasonal changes in flammability across UK heathlands, showing that live fuel moisture dynamics drive shifts in fire behaviour. Their fuel modelling reveals up to 4× differences in fire spread based on phenology. 👉 doi.org/10.1071/WF24... #IJWildlandFire

High cita📖 in IJWF: Qin et al. show deep peat fires smoulder for 10+ days, moving up, down and sideways at ~300 °C under limited oxygen, yet losing <25 % mass and emitting detectable CO at the surface — a clue to locate hidden hotspots. www.publish.csiro.au/WF/WF22143 #IJWildlandFire

Most read📖 in IJWF Joshi et al. produced Australia’s first nationally consistent wildland fuel type map using satellite-derived vegetation structure. The dataset supports fire behaviour modelling and risk assessment across jurisdictions. 🛰️🔥 📖 doi.org/10.1071/WF24... #IJWildlandFire

🙏 Editorial thanks from IJWF Co-EiC Martin Girardin Dr. Martin celebrates IJWF’s growth, global reach, and evolving role in a rapidly changing field. From embracing AI and climate-fire complexity to diversifying the editorial board. 📖 : doi.org/10.1071/WF25... ##IJWildlandFire

🔥 High Cita in IJWF: Keeley’s review clarifies the critical distinctions among fire intensity, fire severity, and burn severity. This paper argues for consistent terminology, separating energy release, organic matter loss, and ecosystem responses. 📖 Read: doi.org/10.1071/WF07... #IJWildlandFire

🔥 New in IJWF: How will climate change reshape fuel hazards across landscapes? McColl-Gausden et al. modelled future fire risks across Victoria, Australia and their findings highlight the urgent need for adaptive fuel management in a warming climate. 📖 Read: doi.org/10.1071/WF24... #IJWildlandFire

🔥 New study links 11 human activities—including poaching, charcoal burning & honey harvesting—to wildfire outbreaks in Kenya’s Tsavo Conservation Area. Findings reveal urgent need for community-led fire management. 📄 Read it here: doi.org/10.1071/WF25... #IJWildlandFire
