Field-based fire studies in the equatorial Andes indicate that fires are strongly associated with biophysical and anthropogenic variables.However,fire controls and fire regimes at the regional scale remain undocumented.Therefore,this paper describes spatial and temporal burned-area patterns,identifies biophysical and anthropogenic fire drivers,and quantifies fire probability across 6° of latitude and 3° of longitude in the equatorial Andes.The spatial and temporal burned-area analysis was carried out based on 18 years (2OO1-2018) of the MCD64A1 MODIS burned-area product.Climate,topography,vegetation,and anthropogenic variables were integrated in a logistic regression model to identify the significance of explanatory variables and determine fire occurrence probability.A total of 5779 fire events were registered during the 18 years of this study,located primarily along the western cordillera of the Andes and spreading from North to South.Eighty-eight percent of these fires took place within two fire hotspots located in the northwestern and southwestern corners of the study area.Ninety-nine percent occurred during the second part of the year,between June and December.The largest density of fires was primarily located on herbaceous vegetation and shrublands.Results show that mean monthly temperature,precipitation and NDVI during the prefire season,the location of land cover classes such as forest and agriculture,distance to roads and urban areas,slope,and aspect were the most important determinants of spatial and temporal fire distribution.The logistic regression model achieved a good accuracy in predicting fire probability (80%).Probability was higher in the southwestern and northern corners of the study area,and lower towards the north in the western and eastern piedmonts of the Andes.This analysis contributes to the understanding of fires in mountains within the tropics.The results here presented have the potential to contribute to fire management and control in the region.

车载自组织网络(VANET)中频繁变化的拓扑结构以及严格的实时性和可靠性要求给路由协议的设计提出了新的要求。为得出更适用于VANET的路由协议,分类阐述了主动路由协议和按需路由协议两类路由协议,并且从多方面比较目的节点序列距离矢量路由(DSDV)协议和源驱动路由(AODV)协议的性能。结果表明,AODV协议更适用于VANET环境。针对AODV协议存在的路由不稳定、传输延迟高和广播风暴问题(BSP),分类综述了常见的改进措施:对于路由不稳定问题,从借助车辆网络信息的路由选择和借助RSU的路由发现两个方面来改
