This paper presents modeling methods for mapping fire hazard and fire risk using a research model called FIREHARM (FIRE Hazard and Risk Model) that computes common measures of fire behavior, fire danger, and fire effects to spatially portray fire hazard over space. FIREHARM can compute a measure...

Physiological process models, productivity studies, andwildlife abundance studies all require accuraterepresentations of tree crowns. In the past, geometricshapes or flexible mathematical equations approximatinggeometric shapes were used to represent crown profiles.Crown profile of loblolly pine...
