Specifically, I am interested in adaptation of FWI which takes into account the different types of vegetation or biomass under study.
For example, I know a study about the adaptation of FWI to Mediterranean forests (Article Adaptation of the Canadian Fire Weather Index to Mediterranean forests
). Do you know similar studies that consider vegetation properties and characteristics when calculating FWI?Other question is the following:
as FWI was originally introduced for the Canadian forests, do you know FWI performance for very differents ecosystems (e.g., taiga)?
Here are 2 sites that may be of interest.
Alaska FWI link : https://akff.mesowest.org/
And
Oklahoma OK-Fire link : https://www.mesonet.org/index.php/okfire/home
For more info on different vegetation types and biomass in the OK-Fire model contract JD Carlson at the bottom of this page: https://extension.okstate.edu/programs/mesonet/ok-fire/index.html
Hi, I used the MDC (adapted from the DC which is part of the FWI) for Mediterranean ecosystems to assess the fire danger with good results*. However, I never properly adapted the FWI and I am really interested to have informations about it too :-)
