| مستخلص: | This white paper focuses on how climate change-induced effects on weather will translate into changes in wildland fire severity and outcomes, particularly on the effectiveness of initial attack at limiting the area burned in contained fires and the number of fires that escape initial attack. Prior research has indicated that there is a potential for significant increases in the number of fires escaping initial attack, particularly in areas in which the fuel matrix is dominated by grass and brush. Those findings, however, were derived using less sophisticated models of initial attack than currently available. The results of this study, using more sophisticated models and climate projections, indicate that subtle shifts in fire behavior of the sort that might be induced by the climate changes anticipated for the next century are of sufficient magnitude to generate an appreciable increase in the number of fires that escape initial attack, at least for areas where brush fuels dominate. |
