High Average Area Burnt in Tropical Savannas by ED-SPITFIRE: Fuel Load and Moisture Dynamics

This study explores the simulated average area burnt in tropical savannas using the ED-SPITFIRE model. It finds that the highest burn areas occur where neither fuel load nor fuel moisture is a limiting factor. This observation aligns with previously recorded system behaviors, as detailed in the literature, including Spessa et al. (2005) in Global Ecology and Biogeography. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for predicting fire behavior in tropical savannas and informs wildfire management practices.

  1. Simulated average area burnt by ED-SPITFIRE in tropical savannas is highest where neither fuel load nor fuel moisture is limiting (matches observed system behaviour, refer e.g. Spessa et al. (2005) GEB)
