Primes

• Percolation
  • Wildfire. Forest-fire models on a lattice show percolation transitions in fire spread as fuel density crosses threshold; the spanning combustible cluster is a giant component.

    This sourceShows lattice forest-fire models exhibit a percolation transition in fire spread as fuel/tree density crosses threshold, with the spanning combustible cluster a giant component.

• Percolation Threshold
  • Landscape ecology — above a critical density of flammable patches a fire can cross the landscape; below, it stays local, and fuel-break management is engineered threshold-lowering.

    This sourceAbove a critical density of flammable patches a fire spans the landscape; below, it stays local — a percolation threshold that fuel-break management engineers downward.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
