概要	Forest fire risk assessment quantifies the probability and potential severity of wildfire in forest ecosystems, integrating stand structure, fuel characteristics, weather patterns, and topography. Developed by Van Wagner, Rothermel, and fire science communities, fire risk models predict fire ignition likelihood, fire behavior (spread rate, intensity), and consequences (area burned, damage extent). Essential for land management planning, community protection, and ecosystem conservation.	Forest inventory sampling is a systematic approach to estimate forest characteristics such as timber volume, species composition, and biomass by surveying a representative subset of trees rather than conducting exhaustive censuses. Developed by Loetsch and colleagues in the 1970s, the method applies statistical sampling theory to forest assessment and remains the foundation for sustainable forest management and resource monitoring worldwide.
