Peter Fule

Peter Fule is a Regents' Professor at the School of Forestry, Northern Arizona University, actively engaged in wildfire science and forest ecology research. His work spans multiple continents, with collaborations in both United States of America and Corsica. Key research themes include:

• Fire regime analysis (historical patterns and modern shifts)
• Climate-fire interactions in extreme drought scenarios
• Forest restoration techniques and their long-term impacts
• AI applications for wildfire monitoring and management
• Genetic factors in fire-adapted tree species
• Ecological modeling of forest responses to disturbances

Recent publications demonstrate his focus on both Pinus nigra forests in the Mediterranean and Ponderosa pine ecosystems in Arizona. His research frequently examines:

• Wildfire behavior under climate change
• Post-fire recovery mechanisms
• AI-enabled monitoring systems
• Historical fire regime reconstruction
• Drought-stress interactions with fire
• Hybrid zone genetic variation

With an h-index of 7 according to Scopus (2022), his work has been cited 318 times. The 15 most recent articles (2024-2025) show strong emphasis on:
