Estimating the effects of meteorology and land cover on fire growth in Peru using a novel difference equation model

<p>Statistical analyses of wildfire growth are rarely undertaken, particularly in South America. In this study, we describe a simple and intuitive difference equation model of wildfire growth that uses a spread parameter to control the radial speed of the modeled fire and an extinguish paramet...
