Differences in flammability and risk between human- and lightning-ignited fires are obvious. Our new paper reveals this issue with strong implications for fire modeling and management.
Risky days for anthropogenic fires are growing faster than risky days for lightning-caused fires. Human-caused fires can occur in wetter conditions, as they ignite in dead grass or wood, rather than in the moist canopy where lightning strikes. Read now: https://t.co/eMfPpIL4FF

New publications from @SilvisLab, led by @TringaShank!
Proud to publish a Forum piece in @WaderStudy about protecting shorebirds (e.g., Spotshanks) in the Inner Gulf of Thailand thanks to @TheWCS, @BCSThailand, and @BirdLife_Asia. One small step in the fight to safeguard our feathered friends! https://t.co/j9FZJ3M0m6
