Globe-LFMC 2.0, an enhanced and updated dataset for live fuel moisture content ...
Yebra, Marta; Scortechini, Gianluca; Adeline, Karine; Aktepe, Nursema; Almoustafa, Turkia; Bar-Massada, Avi; Beget, María Eugenia; Boer, MatthiasGlobe-LFMC 2.0, an updated version of Globe-LFMC, is a comprehensive dataset of over 280,000 Live Fuel Moisture Content (LFMC) measurements. These measurements were gathered through feld campaigns conducted in 15 countries spanning 47 years. In contrast to its prior version, Globe-LFMC 2.0 incorporates over 120,000 additional data entries, introduces more than 800 new sampling sites, and comprises LFMC values o...
Towards an Integrated Approach to Wildfire Risk Assessment: When, Where, What a...
Chuvieco, Emilio; Yebra, Marta; Martino, Simone; Thonicke, Kirsten; Gómez-Giménez, Marta; San-Miguel, Jesus; Oom, Duarte; Velea, RamonaThis paper presents a review of concepts related to wildfire risk assessment, including the determination of fire ignition and propagation (fire danger), the extent to which fire may spatially overlap with valued assets (exposure), and the potential losses and resilience to those losses (vulnerability). This is followed by a brief discussion of how these concepts can be integrated and connected to mitigation an...
Modern relationships between microscopic charcoal in marine sediments and fire ...
Genet, Marion; Daniau, Anne-Laure; Mouillot, Florent; Hanquiez, Vincent; Schmidt, Sabine; David, Valérie; Georget, Muriel; Abrantes, FatimaMarine microcharcoal records provide invaluable information to understand changes in biomass burning and its drivers over multiple glacial and interglacial cycles and to evaluate fire models under warmer climates than today. However, quantitative reconstructions of burnt area, fire intensity and frequency from these records need calibration studies of the current fire-microcharcoal relationship. Here, we presen...
Plant physiological ecology and the global changes
Barbosa, J. P.R.A.D.; Rambal, Serge; Soares, Ângela Maria; Mouillot, Florent; Nogueira, Joana Messias Pereira; Martins, Giordane AugustoThe global changes are marked by alteration on the normal patterns of important biochemical and biophysical processes of the Earth. However, the real effects as well as the feedbacks of the global changes over vegetation are still unclear. Part of this uncertainty can be attributed to the inattention of stakeholders and scientists towards vegetation and its complex interrelations with the environment, which dri...
Landscape - wildfire interactions in southern Europe: implications for landscap...
Moreira, Francisco; Viedma, Olga; Arianoutsou, Margarita; Curt, Yhomas; Koutsias, Nikos; Rigolot, Eric; Barbatti, Anna; Corona, Piermaria; Vaz, PedroEvery 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 its application f...
