Landscape – wildfire interactions in southern Europe: Implications for landscape management
Francisco Moreira,Olga Viedma,Margarita Arianoutsou,Thiomas Curt,Nikos Koutsias,Eric Rigolot,Anna Barbati,Piermaria Corona,Pedro G. Vaz,Gavriil Xanthopoulos,Florent Mouillot,Ertrugul Bilgili +11 more
TL;DR: The main findings are that socio-economic drivers have favoured land cover changes contributing to increasing fire hazard in the last decades, and large wildfires are becoming more frequent and increased fire frequency is promoting homogeneous landscapes covered by fire-prone shrublands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal (1958-1995) pattern of change in a cultural landscape of northwestern Portugal: implications for fire occurrence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors test the hypothesis that landscape changes in a region of Northern Portugal (Minho) in the last 40 years could be predicted from socioeconomic and political history, and they further predicted that these changes contributed to increased fire risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling natural disturbances in forest ecosystems: a review
Rupert Seidl,Rupert Seidl,Paulo Fernandes,Teresa Fonseca,François Gillet,François Gillet,Anna Maria Jönsson,Katarína Merganičová,Sigrid Netherer,Alexander Arpaci,Jean-Daniel Bontemps,Harald Bugmann,José Ramón González-Olabarria,Petra Lasch,Céline Meredieu,Francisco Moreira,Mart-Jan Schelhaas,Frits Mohren +17 more
TL;DR: A review of the wide variety of approaches to modelling natural disturbances in forest ecosystems, addressing the full spectrum of disturbance modelling from single events to integrated disturbance regimes, is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and mapping wildfire ignition risk in Portugal
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used logistic regression models to predict the likelihood of ignition occurrence, using a set of potentially explanatory variables, and produced an ignition risk map for the Portuguese mainland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prescribed burning in southern Europe: developing fire management in a dynamic landscape
Paulo Fernandes,Paulo Fernandes,G. Matt Davies,Davide Ascoli,Cristina Fernández,Francisco Moreira,Eric Rigolot,Cathelijne R. Stoof,José A. Vega,D. M. Molina +9 more
TL;DR: The adoption of prescribed burning in the Mediterranean region has been slow, uneven, and inconsistent, and its development is constrained by cultural and socioeconomic factors as well as specific factors related to demography, land use, and landscape structure as discussed by the authors.
