“…A intensidade e duração da chuva influencia diretamente a ocorrência de focos de calor, de modo que a temperatura do ar é amenizada e há um acréscimo na umidade relativa do ar, tornando o material combustível menos propenso à combustão. Segundo Coelho Junior; Martins; Carvalho (2018), a temperatura é influenciada diretamente pela precipitação, da qual influi diretamente na combustão e propagação dos incêndios.…”

“…Em contrapartida, em períodos chuvosos, há uma redução drástica nos registros de focos de calor. Contudo, vale ressaltar que em condições climáticas que estejam sob efeito do fenômeno ENOS (El Niño Oscilação Sul), esses fatores podem ser potencializados, favorecendo a ocorrência e o alastramento dessas queimadas (ALMEIDA et al, 2017;CAÚLA et al, 2017;COELHO JUNIOR;MARTINS;CARVALHO, 2018). No estado do Pará, o período seco caracteriza-se por apresentar precipitação mensal média com valores inferiores a 50 mm.mês -1 , de tal maneira que as chuvas desse período são isoladas e esparsas (SOUZA; AMBRIZZI, 2003).…”

A Amazônia legal obteve uma média de 126.938 focos de calor entre os anos de 1998-2018, destes cerca de 32.934 se concentram no estado do Pará. Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho foi analisar a dinâmica espaço-temporal dos focos de calor na microrregião de Paragominas. Os dados de focos de calor foram adquiridos no banco de dados do INPE, estes foram analisados num período de 15 anos, englobando os anos de 2002 a 2017. Estes dados foram comparados com a precipitação, desmatamento e expansão agrícola. A maior incidência dos focos de calor é no período seco, com incremento médio de 2830,63% em relação ao chuvoso. A precipitação reduz cerca de 68% entre esses períodos. Há redução de 94% do desmatamento e crescimento de 599131,76% da agricultura. A concentração dos focos de calor obedece a orientação Norte/Sul da microrregião, nos entornos das rodovias, áreas desmatadas e de agricultura, bem como programas de assentamento. O padrão espacial dos focos de calor da microrregião de Paragominas é influenciado pela sazonalidade da precipitação, havendo uma maior concentração destes nas áreas de menor precipitação da microrregião. O padrão temporal e a intensidade dos focos são influenciados pela ação antrópica, coincidindo com as áreas de menor precipitação.

“…The LCA of Austrian and Slovenian raw wood production was recently published [14]. Firewood is still commonly used as a primary energy source worldwide [15][16][17]. Through a critical review of the literature and available secondary sources, no LCA studies and research available for wood-based heating systems in Slovenia could be found.…”

Sustainable use of biomass energy sources can reduce dependency on fossil fuels. Wood biomass is the primary source for heating in Slovenia, with firewood and wood pellets having the highest share. Slovenia’s largest consumers of wood fuels are households primarily using wood from their forests or imported wood pellets. This research used a life cycle assessment to analyze and evaluate the environmental impacts of using firewood and wood pellets for household heating in Slovenia for the first time. The results showed that wood logs have a considerably greater effect on stratospheric ozone depletion, ozone formation, and fine particulate matter (PM) formation. The impact on global warming was lower due to short transportation distances and using log boilers with high combustion efficiency (0.016 and 0.041 kg CO2 eq for wood log and wood pellet combustion, respectively). An increase in transportation distance from 100 km to 1000 km resulted in an 84.9% increase in the values for the categories ozone formation and human health, a 120.4% increase for fossil resource scarcity, and a 102.4% increase in global warming, supporting the premise that short distribution routes are necessary for more sustainable use of the energy source.

“…Drought is a natural disaster caused by a long-term water shortage [1][2][3], which has the characteristics of high frequency, long duration and wide impact [4][5][6][7][8][9], causing great harm to the natural ecology, social economy and human habitat [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Under the background of global warming, drought may be further aggravated [20][21][22]. In order to reduce the harm caused by drought as much as possible, it is significant and urgent to effectively monitor and evaluate drought [23].…”

In northern China, precipitation fluctuates greatly and drought occurs frequently, which mark some of the important threats to agricultural and animal husbandry production. Understanding the meteorological dry-wet change and the evolution law of drought events in northern China has guiding significance for regional disaster prevention and mitigation. Based on the standardized precipitation index (SPI), this paper explored the spatio-temporal evolution of meteorological dry-wet in northern China. Our results showed that arid area (AA) and semi-arid area (SAA) in the west showed a trend of wetting at inter-annual and seasonal scales, while humid area (HA) and semi-humid area (SHA) in the east showed a different dry-wet changing trend at different seasons under the background of inter-annual drying. AA and HA showed obvious “reverse fluctuation” characteristics in summer. The drought frequency (DF) and drought intensity (DI) were high in the east and low in the west, and there was no significant difference in drought duration (DD) and drought severity (DS) between east and west. The DD, DS and DI of AA and SAA showed a decreasing trend, while the DD and DS of HA and SHA showed a slight increasing trend, and the DS decreased. In summer and autumn, the main influencing factors of drying in the east and wetting in the west were PNA, WP, PDO and TP1, and the fluctuations of NAO-SOI, NAO-AMO and PNA-NINO3.4 jointly determined the characteristics of SPI3 reverse fluctuations of HA and AA in summer.
