HABITAT MODELING FOR THE FAMILY OF RHINOCRYPTIDS IN THE RAIN FOREST IN THE SOUTH OF CHILE
(Sociedade de Investigações Florestais, 2017-12)
Fragmentation and degradation of forest habitats affects (the susceptibility of several species is high) highly sensitive species, provoking a serious decrease in biodiversity. To deal with this problem it is necessary to ...
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 ...
A methodology for determining operational priorities for prevention and suppression of wildland fires
(CSIRO, 2014)
Traditional uses of the forest (timber, forage) have been giving way to other uses more in demand (recreation, ecosystem services). An observable consequence of this process of forest land use conversion is an increase in ...
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 ...
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 ...
Economic vulnerability of timber resources to forest fires
(Elsevier, 2012)
The temporalespatial planning of activities for a territorial fire management program requires knowing
the value of forest ecosystems. In this paper we extend to and apply the economic valuation principle to
the concept ...
Optimal harvest cycle on Nothofagus forests including carbon storage in Southern America: an application to Chilean subsidies in temperate forests
(Elsevier, 2018)
Different countries may have passed through their forest transitions from net native forest loss to net exotic plantation expansion. More investment in global and national forest monitoring is needed to provide better ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
