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 ...
Useful Life of Prescribed Fires in a Southern Mediterranean Basin: An Application to Pinus pinaster Stands in the Sierra Morena Range
(MDPI, 2021)
Prescribed fire is a globally relevant fuel treatment for surface fuel management and wildfire hazard reduction. However, Mediterranean ecosystems are adapted to low and moderate fires; hence, the useful life of prescribed ...
Fuel Modelling Characterisation Using Low-Density LiDAR in the Mediterranean: An Application to a Natural Protected Area
(MDPI, 2021)
Fuel structure and characteristics are important to better understand and predict wildfire behaviour. The aim of the present study was to develop a methodology for characterising fuel models using low-density and free LiDAR ...
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 ...
Scorch height and volume modeling in prescribed fires: effects of canopy gaps in Pinus pinaster stands in Southern Europe
(Elsevier, 2022)
The use of prescribed fire has been on the rise in recent years owing to its effectiveness in surface fuel reduction, its implementation cost, and the possibility of firefighter training. However, greater knowledge regarding ...
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 ...
