Assessing exposure of human and ecological values to wildfire in Sardinia, Italy
Michele Salis,Michele Salis,Alan A. Ager,Bachisio Arca,Mark A. Finney,Valentina Bacciu,Pierpaolo Duce,Donatella Spano,Donatella Spano +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used simulation modelling to analyse spatial variation in wildfire exposure relative to key social and economic features on the island of Sardinia, Italy, using historical fire data and wildfire simulations were used to estimate burn probabilities, flame length and fire size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of FARSITE simulator in Mediterranean maquis
Bachisio Arca,Pierpaolo Duce,Maurizio Laconi,Grazia Pellizzaro,Michele Salis,Donatella Spano +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a custom fuel model designed and developed for shrubland vegetation (maquis) provided realistic values of rate of spread, when compared with estimated values obtained using standard fuel models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wildfire risk estimation in the Mediterranean area
Alan A. Ager,Haiganoush K. Preisler,Bachisio Arca,Donatella Spano,Donatella Spano,Michele Salis,Michele Salis +6 more
TL;DR: This article analyzed wildland fire occurrence and size data from Sardinia, Italy, and Corsica, France to examine spatiotemporal patterns of fire occurrence in relation to weather, land use, anthropogenic features, and time of year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating alternative fuel treatment strategies to reduce wildfire losses in a Mediterranean area
Michele Salis,Michele Salis,Maurizio Laconi,Alan A. Ager,Fermín J. Alcasena,Bachisio Arca,Olga M. Lozano,Ana Fernandes de Oliveira,Donatella Spano,Donatella Spano +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of alternative fuel treatment strategies to reduce potential losses from wildfires in Mediterranean areas, and compared strategic fuel treatments located near specific human values vs random locations, and treated 3, 9 and 15% of a 68,000ha study area located in Sardinia, Italy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analyzing spatiotemporal changes in wildfire regime and exposure across a Mediterranean fire-prone area
Michele Salis,Michele Salis,Alan A. Ager,Mark A. Finney,Bachisio Arca,Donatella Spano,Donatella Spano +6 more
TL;DR: This article evaluated the spatiotemporal changes in wildfire regime and exposure in a fire-prone Mediterranean area (Sardinia, Italy) in relation to changes in ignition patterns, weather, suppression activities, and land uses.
