The identification  of critical areas for prescribed burning is of  extreme importance due to the limited resources  available for this purpose. A Geographical  Information System (GIS) has been developed to model  and quantify fire threat in Litchfield National Park.  The important factors favouring fire conditions,  particularly probability of ignition and fire  behaviour, were combined to demonstrate the spatial variation in the levels of threat in the Park.  Outputs of the model include the identification of  fire risk, fire hazard, ecological and economic  values, and the fire threat these values may be  under. Preliminary results demonstrate the potential  of the model to develop different scenarios that can  be used by managers to assess the options available  concerning prescribed fire. GIS make it possible to  improve knowledge of the geospatial distribution of  fire threat, which is crucial in the field of Natural  Resource Management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838316840\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA case study for Litchfield National Park, Northern Territory, Australia\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838316840","offer_id":39497062776925,"sku":"9783838316840","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/9c13fc93-a729-48e1-86f5-92b63f3bd2dd.jpg?v=1773382688","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/gis-for-fire-management-von-marco-antonio-olmos-gonzalez","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
