The symposium was held in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, on September 17–21, 2024. This symposium was a forum for those involved in nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT/NDE) of wood and brought together many international researchers, NDT/NDE users, suppliers, representatives from various government agencies, and other...AuthorsRaquel Goncalves, Xiping Wang, Robert J.

- Prioritizing investments in restoration, risk reduction, and conservation programs is an important part of the planning process to develop strategies for a wide range of resource management issues in the US and elsewhere (Ball et al., 2009; Noss et al., 2009; Kukkala and Moilanen, 2013; Chazdon and Guariguata, 2018; Pohjanmies et al., 2019; Strassburg et al., 2020; Duchardt et al., 2021). Prioritization systems have been developed for application at a range of scales, and typically involve multiple objectives and various schemes for optimization and tradeoff analyses (Noss et al., 2009)....AuthorsAlan AgerKeywordsSourceJournal of Environmental Management. 360: 121001.Year2024
- Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with RGB, multispectral, or thermal cameras have demonstrated their potential to provide high-resolution data before, during, and after wildfires and prescribed burns. Pre-burn point clouds generated through the photogrammetric processing of UAV images contain geometrical and spectral information of vegetation, while active fire imagery allows for deriving fire behavior metrics. This paper focuses on characterizing the relationship between the fire rate of spread (RoS) in prescribed burns and a set of independent geometrical, spectral, and neighborho...AuthorsChristopher J.

- Climate change is altering fire regimes and post-fire conditions, contributing to relatively rapid transformation of landscapes across the western US. Studies are increasingly documenting post-fire vegetation transitions, particularly from forest to non-forest conditions or from sagebrush to invasive annual grasses. The prevalence of climate-driven, post-fire vegetation transitions is likely to increase in the future with major impacts on social–ecological systems. However, research and management communities have only recently focused attention on this emerging climate risk, and many...AuthorsKimberley T. Davis, Monique Wynecoop, Mary Ann Rozance, Katherine B.

- We assembled the first gridded burned area (BA) database of national wildfire data (ONFIRE), a comprehensive and integrated resource for researchers, non-government organisations, and government agencies analysing wildfires in various regions of the Earth. We extracted and harmonised records from different regions and sources using open and reproducible methods, providing data in a common framework for the whole period available (starting from 1950 in Australia, 1959 in Canada, 1985 in Chile, 1980 in Europe, and 1984 in the United States) up to 2021 on a common 1° × 1° grid. The data...AuthorsAndrina Gincheva, Juli G.

- Accurate drought assessments are critical for mitigating the deleterious impacts of water scarcity on communities across the world. In many regions, deficits in soil moisture represent a key driver of drought conditions. However, relationships between soil moisture and widely used drought indicators have not been thoroughly evaluated. In addition, there has not been an in‐depth assessment of the accuracy of operational soil moisture models used for drought monitoring. Here, we used 2,405 observed time series of soil moisture from 637 long‐term monitoring stations across the conterminous...AuthorsZachary H. Hoylman, Zachary Holden, R.

- Theory predicts that effective environmental governance requires that the scales of management account for the scales of environmental processes. A good example is community wildfire protection planning. Plan boundaries that are too narrowly defined may miss sources of wildfire risk originating at larger geographic scales whereas boundaries that are too broadly defined dilute resources. Although the concept of scale (mis)matches is widely discussed in literature on risk mitigation as well as environmental governance more generally, rarely has the concept been rigorously quantified. We...AuthorsMatthew Hamilton, Cody Evers, Max Nielsen‑Pincus, Alan AgerSourceRegional Environmental Change. 24: 93.Year2024
- The oak twig pruner [OTP; Anelaphus villosus (Fabricius)] is likely a species complex, with A. parallelus (Newman) recently recognized as a synonym. The parallelus form of A. villosus is considered the subject of this paper. In Michigan, OTP has a 2-year life cycle, with twigs pruned primarily in even-numbered years and adults emerging from the fallen twigs in odd-numbered years. During 1990 to 2011, I studied various aspects of OTP life history in southern Michigan (Ingham County). Based on measurements from over 300 infested oak twigs, they averaged 43.1 cm long, 9.4 mm in diameter at...AuthorsRobert A. HaackKeywordsSourceThe Great Lakes EntomologistYear2024
- Impervious surfaces caused by urbanization alter hydrologic conditions. In ultra-urban areas (75% or more impervious), rooftop stormwater control measures (SCMs), such as green roofs, exploit underutilized rooftop space. Green roofs reliably attenuate rainwater, but associated water quality treatment results are not as consistent. This study explored the viability of blue roofs, an emerging technology, as an alternative to green roofs. Nine adjacent plots consisting of three each of conventional (control), green, and blue roofs were constructed in Raleigh, NC. As a part of hydrology...AuthorsSarah E.

- Stable isotope data have made pivotal contributions to nearly every discipline of the physical and natural sciences. As the generation and application of stable isotope data continues to grow exponentially, so does the need for a unifying data repository to improve accessibility and promote collaborative engagement. This paper provides an overview of the design, development, and implementation of IsoBank (www.isobank.org), a community-driven initiative to create an open-access repository for stable isotope data implemented online in 2021. A central goal of IsoBank is to provide a web-access...AuthorsOliver N. Shipley, Anna J. Dabrowski, Gabriel J. Bowen, Brian Hayden, Jonathan N.
