Landscape--wildfire interactions in southern Europe: implications for landscape management.
Every year approximately half a million hectares of land are burned by wildfires in southern Europe, causing large ecological and socio-economic impacts. Climate and land use changes in the last decades have increased fire risk and danger. In this paper we review the available scientific knowledge on the relationships between landscape and wildfires in the Mediterranean region, with a focus on ...
متن کاملPrescribed burning in southern Europe: developing fire management in a dynamic landscape
www.frontiersinecology.org © The Ecological Society of America S European landscapes are fire-prone due to the Mediterranean climate, the presence of flammable vegetation, and the rugged terrain (Pausas et al. 2008). The environmental and societal impacts of fire in the region have increased markedly during the 20th century. Pre-industrial fire regimes were generally associated with widespread ...
متن کاملBiology of Palms and Implications for Management in the Landscape
Comprising a natural and distinctive group, palms (Arecaceae) differ from other woody plants in their structure and growth features that require or offer unique and sometimes advantageous landscape management opportunities. Although palms are a mostly tropical group that lacks dormancy and cold tolerance, there are numerous species possessing sufficient cool or cold hardiness to be suitable for...
متن کاملForest Landscape in Europe: Pattern, Fragmentation and Connectivity Forest Landscape in Europe: Pattern, Fragmentation and Connectivity
The JRC demonstrated the feasibility to assess and report in a harmonized manner, forest landscape pattern and fragmentation in Europe, on the basis of an easily reproducible set of indices. Results were used in the Forest EUROPE, UN ECE and FAO joint ministerial reporting process on the protection of forests in Europe where data on forest pattern do not exist from national forest inventories. ...
متن کاملSpecies-specific responses to landscape fragmentation: implications for management strategies
Habitat fragmentation affects the integrity of many species, but little is known about species-specific sensitivity to fragmentation. Here, we compared the genetic structure of four freshwater fish species differing in their body size (Leuciscus cephalus; Leuciscus leuciscus; Gobio gobio and Phoxinus phoxinus) between a fragmented and a continuous landscape. We tested if, overall, fragmentation...
