Abstract:Background Smouldering peatland wildfires can last for months and create a positive feedback for climate change. These flameless, slow-burning fires spread horizontally and vertically and are strongly influenced by peat moisture content. Most models neglect the non-uniform nature of peat moisture. Aims We conducted a computational study into the spread behaviour of smouldering peat with horizontally varying moisture contents. Methods We developed a discrete cellular automaton model called BARA, a… Show more
