“…For each kind of forest we present the result of a typical simulation and compare it with the result obtained with the more complex fourth-order model (Casagrandi and Rinaldi (1999)). Simulations were performed with 4th order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with 5th order error estimate.…”

“…While it is true that natural forest fires originate from random events (mostly lightning) and are influenced by meteorological conditions (Bessie and Johnson (1995)), it is also true that fires can develop only if there is enough dry matter on the ground and if plants are sufficiently abundant in at least one of the various vegetational layers of the forest (for a relatively detailed discussion of this issue see Casagrandi and Rinaldi (1999) and references therein). This suggests the idea that long-term predictions of forest fires can be roughly performed with deterministic models describing the growth processes, while more precise short-term predictions can only be performed through stochastic models (conceptually comparable with those used in weather forecast).…”
