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 ...
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 ...
Modeling Wind Adjustment Factor for a prescribed burn plan. An application to Mediterranean stands in Southern Europe
(Elsevier, 2023)
Wind speed, which is significantly affected by terrain and vegetation, is one of the most crucial factors in terms of fire spread. Fire simulators compute wind speed as open 10-m wind speed multiplied by the Wind Adjustment ...
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 ...
