Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This study looks at the impact of forest fires in Galicia and Portugal from a comparative point of view. The first part deals with the common history of both regions until the Independence of Portugal emphasizing the pollen and anthracological analyses. The second part examines the problems of forest fires involving the two countries, focusing on the Modern Age, particularly on the influence of activities such as herding, land clearing, charcoal making, and shipbuilding. The influence of new forestry on the techniques for fighting forest fires is highlighted, especially the impact of the disintegration and depopulation of rural areas as a starting point for the extensive wave of forest fires we see today. Finally, it is suggested that a new generation of forest fires is being triggered by climate change, among other causes.
