Characterization of Forest Fires to Support Monitoring and Management of Mount Kenya Forest

Characterization of Forest Fires to Support Monitoring and Management of Mount Kenya Forest

Historical analysis of wildfire frequency, intensity, size, season, and type helps to determine the fire regime and the impacts of human activity in a region. Information about the temporal and spatial distribution of forest fires can help guide the formulation of integrated fire management policies...
