摘要

Wildfires in forest ecosystems are increasingly influenced by Anthropocene drivers, including climate change, land-use change, and altered disturbance regimes. This review synthesizes forest wildfire dynamics by integrating fire behaviour mechanisms, environmental drivers, ecological impacts, and simulation systems within a forest-centric framework. Fire behaviour is governed by interactions among fuel structure, topography, meteorology, and human activities, with canopy structure, ladder fuels, and biomass accumulation playing key roles. Wildfire impacts are examined in terms of forest structure, species composition, post-fire succession, and ecosystem resilience, including transitions from forest to non-forest states under repeated high-severity fires. Hydrological, socio-economic, and wildland–urban interface impacts are also considered within forested landscapes. The review evaluates simulation tools such as Rothermel’s model, FARSITE, FLAMMAP, WRF-Fire, and AI-based approaches for forest management and risk mitigation. The study highlights the need for adaptive forest management strategies, including fuel load reduction, prescribed burning, and silvicultural interventions, to enhance forest resilience. Overall, this review provides an integrated and forest-focused perspective on wildfire dynamics in the Anthropocene, highlighting the need for adaptive management and advanced simulation tools to sustain forest ecosystem resilience under changing fire regimes.
