Climate Change and Global Warming

Effect of fire frequency
and fire severity on
number of trees during
a 39year period in blue
mountain area of New
SouthWales Australia
Simin Rahmani
University of Wollongong,
Australia
Simin Rahmani has her
expertise in wildland fire
risks. Her research about the
effects of fire frequency and
fire severity on tree density
has a substantial impact on
understanding in effects of
wildfire due to global warming
on changes in vegetation
structure. She has built this
model after experiencing
research in productive research
and academic environment,
University of Wollongong,
Australia. The foundation is
based on a GIS (geographic
information system) investigation
by using aerial photographic
survey conducted by the NSW
Government in 1975 and again
in September 2013. Linear
modeling was tested to study
the association between change
in tree count and number
of high severe fires and fire
frequency. We also considered
environmental conditions other
than fire such as annual rain
record to investigate whether it
is responsible for changes in tree
count.
