Decreasing Fires in Mediterranean Europe
Forest fires are a serious environmental hazard in southern Europe. Quantitative assessment of recent trends in fire statistics is important for assessing the possible shifts induced by climate and other environmental/socioeconomic changes in this area. Here we analyse recent fire trends in Portugal, Spain, southern France, Italy and Greece, building on a homogenized fire database integrating o...
متن کاملForest fires and adaptation options in Europe
This paper presents a quantitative assessment of adaptation options in the context of forest fires in Europe under projected climate change. A standalone fire model (SFM) based on a state-of-the-art large-scale forest fire modelling algorithm is used to explore fuel removal through prescribed burnings and improved fire suppression as adaptation options. The climate change projections are provid...

متن کاملLADAMER Land Degradation Assessment in Mediterranean Europe
The two main activities of RIKS in the Ladamer project are related to land use modelling and calibration/validation methods. For the land use modelling there has been progress both on the macroand the micro level land use modelling. For the calibration and validation task the focus has been on the development of goodness-of-fit measures for cellular models. Macro level land use modelling The ma...
