High-severity fire
Wildland fire is a critical process in forests of the western United States (US). Variation in fire behavior, which is heavily influenced by fuel loading, terrain, weather, and vegetation type, leads to heterogeneity in fire severity across landscapes. The relative influence of these factors in driving fire severity, however, is poorly understood. Here, we explore the drivers of high-severity fire for forested ecoregions in the western US over th…
Measurement of inter- and intra-annual variability of landscape fire activity at a continental scale
Climate dynamics at diurnal, seasonal and inter-annual scales shape global fire activity, although difficulties of assembling reliable fire and meteorological data with sufficient spatio-temporal resolution have frustrated quantification of this variability. Using Australia as a case study, we combine data from 4760 meteorological stations with 12 years of satellite-derived active fire detections to determine day and night time fire activity, fir…
Climate-induced variations in global wildfire danger from 1979 to 2013
Climate strongly influences global wildfire activity, and recent wildfire surges may signal fire weather-induced pyrogeographic shifts. Here we use three daily global climate data sets and three fire danger indices to develop a simple annual metric of fire weather season length, and map spatio-temporal trends from 1979 to 2013. We show that fire weather seasons have lengthened across 29.6 million km 2 (25.3%) of the Earth’s vegetated surface, res…
Climate-Driven Increases in Global Terrestrial Net Primary Production from 1982 to 1999
Recent climatic changes have enhanced plant growth in northern mid-latitudes and high latitudes. However, a comprehensive analysis of the impact of global climatic changes on vegetation productivity has not before been expressed in the context of variable limiting factors to plant growth. We present a global investigation of vegetation responses to climatic changes by analyzing 18 years (1982 to 1999) of both climatic data and satellite observati…
On Cup-Marked Stones in the Neighbourhood of Inverness; with an Appendix on Cup-Marked Stones in the Western Islands
Inverness is in the centre of a district remarkable for the number, character, and variety of its archaeological remains. These are usually in a very fair state of preservation, though the hand of the spoiler has not spared some of the best. They consist of chambered cairns, with and without encircling standing stones; stone circles; hut circles; monoliths, sculptured and plain; tumuli, graves, cists, crannogs, and pile-dwellings; hill forts, som…
Notes on Bronze Weapons and other Remains found near Poolewe, Ross-shire
Notice of the Excavation and Contents of Ancient Graves at Dalmore, Alness, Ross-shire
St Columba's Loch, in Skye, and its Ancient Canoes
The parish of Kilmuir, in the north end of Skye, is much less known to the tourist, the man of science, and the archaeologist than it ought to be. The sweet bay of Uig and the picturesque Quiraing are the only points visited, though a few more leisurely feet do find their way to Flora Macdonald's grave in the old churchyard near the sea. To the scenery-seeker and the geologist this forgotten extremity of Trotternish is peculiarly rich in ohjects …
