Potential Effects of Climate Change on Fire Behavior, Economic Susceptibility and Suppression Costs in Mediterranean Ecosystems: Córdoba Province, Spain
(MDPI, 2019)
The potentially large ecological, economic, and societal impacts of climate change makes it a significant problem of the 21st century. These consequences have led to tremendous development in climate change scenarios and ...
Getting Ahead of the Wildfire Problem: Quantifying and Mapping Management Challenges and Opportunities
(MDPI, 2016)
Wildfire is a global phenomenon that plays a vital role in regulating and maintaining
many natural and human-influenced ecosystems but that also poses considerable risks to human
populations and infrastructure. Fire ...
Economic susceptibility of fire-prone landscapes in natural protected areas of the southern Andean Range
(Elsevier, 2018)
Large fires are the most important disturbances at landscape-level due to their ecological and socioeconomic impacts. This study aimed to develop an approach for the assessment of the socio-economic landscape susceptibility ...
A system to evaluate fire impacts from simulated fire behavior in Mediterranean areas of Central Chile
(Elsevier, 2017)
Wildfires constitute the greatest economic disruption to Mediterranean ecosystems, from a socio-economic and ecological perspective (Molina et al., 2014). This study proposes to classify fire intensity levels based on ...
The role of flagship species in the economic valuation of wildfire impacts: An application to two Mediterranean protected areas
(Elsevier, 2019)
Disturbance events play an important role in ecosystem services management and species biodiversity. In this sense, species biodiversity may constitute a large proportion of the total ecosystem value, mainly in natural ...
The ignition index based on flammability of vegetation improves planning in the wildland-urban interface: A case study in Southern Spain
(Elsevier, 2017)
Forest fires in the wildland urban interface (WUI) are a widespread and growing problem due to changes in land use and climate. The impacts of WUI fire depend on the exposure of homes to dense vegetation (both natural and ...
Modeling Mediterranean forest fuels by integrating field data and mapping tools
(Springer, 2011)
Fire behavior modeling systems are important in predicting wildfire risk, fire growth, and fire effects. However, simulation software requires a new fuel modeling to include fuel treatments, prescribed fire and the transition ...
Wildfires impact on the economic susceptibility of recreation activities: Application in a Mediterranean protected area
(Elsevier, 2019)
Development of many rural forestry areas depends strongly on tourism activities; therefore, it is critical to incorporate these activities in the decision-making process for the management and conservation efforts. Different ...
Integrating economic landscape valuation into Mediterranean territorial planning
(Elsevier, 2016)
Recent and rapid landscape changes have occurred over large areas in Mediterranean Basin. Wildfires and human activities are the most important disturbances at landscape-level due to their ecological and socio-economic ...
