A methodology for determining operational priorities for prevention and suppression of wildland fires
Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco; Molina, Juan Ramón; González-Cabán, Armando (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
Castillo, Miguel; Molina, Juan Ramón; Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco; García-Chevesich, P.; Garfias, Roberto (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 ... -
Economic susceptibility of fire-prone landscapes in natural protected areas of the southern Andean Range
Molina, Juan Ramón; Moreno, Roberto; Castillo, Miguel; Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco (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 ... -
Economic vulnerability of timber resources to forest fires
Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco; Molina, Juan Ramón; González-Cabán, Armando; Herrera Machuca, Miguel Ángel (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 ... -
Fireline production rate of handcrews in wildfires of the Spanish Mediterranean region
Ortega, Macarena; Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco; Molina, Juan Ramón (CSIRO, 2023)Background. Handcrews dig handlines to bare mineral soil for fire containment. Increasing the amount of firefighting resources is insufficient to mitigate wildfire damage or decrease the number of large fires. Aims. This ... -
Fuel Modelling Characterisation Using Low-Density LiDAR in the Mediterranean: An Application to a Natural Protected Area
Ferrer Palomino, Aurora; Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco (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
O'Connor, Christopher D.; Thompson, Matthew P.; Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco (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 ... -
Integrating economic landscape valuation into Mediterranean territorial planning
Molina, Juan Ramón; Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco; Herrera Machuca, Miguel Ángel (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 ... -
Modeling Mediterranean forest fuels by integrating field data and mapping tools
Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco; Molina, Juan Ramón (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 ... -
Potential Effects of Climate Change on Fire Behavior, Economic Susceptibility and Suppression Costs in Mediterranean Ecosystems: Córdoba Province, Spain
Molina, Juan Ramón; González-Cabán, Armando; Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco (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 ... -

Scorch height and volume modeling in prescribed fires: effects of canopy gaps in Pinus pinaster stands in Southern Europe
Molina, Juan Ramón; Ortega, Macarena; Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco (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 ... -
The ignition index based on flammability of vegetation improves planning in the wildland-urban interface: A case study in Southern Spain
Molina, Juan Ramón; Martín, Teodoro; Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco; Herrera Machuca, Miguel Ángel (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 ... -
The role of flagship species in the economic valuation of wildfire impacts: An application to two Mediterranean protected areas
Molina, Juan Ramón; Zamora, Ricardo; Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco (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 ... -
Useful Life of Prescribed Fires in a Southern Mediterranean Basin: An Application to Pinus pinaster Stands in the Sierra Morena Range
Molina, Juan Ramón; Ortega, Macarena; Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco (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 ... -
Wildfires impact on the economic susceptibility of recreation activities: Application in a Mediterranean protected area
Molina, Juan Ramón; González-Cabán, Armando; Rodríguez y Silva, Francisco (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 ...
