To date, projections of European crop yields under climate change have been based almost entirely on the outputs crop-growth models. While this strategy can provide good estimates effects climatic factors, soil conditions and management yield, these models usually do not capture all important aspects related to management, or relevant environmental factors. Moreover, crop-simulation studies often severe limitations with respect number crops covered spatial extent. The present study,...
Abstract. The Split wildfire in July 2017, which was one of the most severe wildfires history this Croatian World Heritage Site, is focus study. fire a good example wildfire–urban interface, with unexpected behavior including rapid downslope spread to coastal populated area. This study clarifies meteorological conditions behind event, those that have limited effectiveness firefighting operations, and escalation expansion zones within 30 h. propagation first reconstructed using radio logs,...
Wildfire is one of the most complex natural hazards. Its origin a combination anthropogenic factors, urban development and weather plus climate factors. In particular, factors possess many spatiotemporal scales various degrees predictability. Due to synergy human behind events, every wildfire unique. However, there are indeed common meteorological leading high fire risk before certain ignition mechanismfigures occur. From scientific point view, better understanding drivers in region would...
Maize is one of the most important agricultural crops in Croatia, and was selected for research effect climate warming on yields. The Decision Support System Agrotechnology Transfer model (DSSAT) utilized crop-weather models world, used this paper investigation maize growth production present future climate. impact yield studied using DSSAT 4.0 with meteorological data from Zagreb-Maksimir station covering period 1949-2004. Pedological, physiological genetic a 1999 field experiment at same...
The impact of adverse weather conditions (AWCs) on crop production is random in both time and space depends factors such as severity, previous agrometeorological conditions, plant vulnerability at a specific development stage. Any exclusion or improper treatment any these can cause models to produce significant under- overestimates yield. analysis presented this paper focuses range indices (AMI) related AWCs that might affect real yield well simulated For purpose, the addressed four...
Understanding the relationship between fire behavior and driving weather conditions is critical for management long-term risk assessment. In this study, we focus on two wildfire events: Split in Croatia Forcett–Dunalley Tasmania, Australia. The antecedent both events included extremely dry higher-than-average air temperatures months prior to events. synoptic patterns consisted of a large surface pressure gradient, which generated strong wind, fire’s spread. Weather Research Forecasting (WRF)...
In Europe, forest fires are a serious and constant threat. They destroy forests land, causing damage, financial loss, long-lasting impacts on ecosystem services. There several ways to decrease the number of fires, including continuous investment in fire prevention measures intensive implementation adaptive sustainable management measures, which need additional resources. many cases, activities karst not implemented timely manner coordination with other stakeholders. A comprehensive study...
Abstract. A major bushfire occurred during January 2013 near the towns Forcett and Dunalley in southeast Tasmania, Australia. Several records were broken by this wildfire, terms of impacts to eco-systems, infrastructure lives, as well first documented fire storm development Tasmania form pyrocumulonimbus. The Australian Bureau Meteorology high-resolution regional reanalysis for (BARRA-TA), with 1.5-km spatial resolution, together in-situ observations, was applied reconstruct wildfire event....
Abstract The Weather Research and Forecasting Spread FIRE (WRF-SFIRE) model was used to simulate the evolution of fire perimeter for Split wildfire in Croatia, evaluated our previous detailed reconstruction event. A four-domain configuration applied, with innermost domain having a resolution 500 m planetary boundary layer parameterization. coupled grid further downscaled 33.3-m resolution, using best available estimates topography fuel load data. WRF-SFIRE simulated slightly smaller areas...
