Wildfires have caused significant ecological and social losses in terms of forest benefits, private dwellings, and suppression costs. Although great efforts have been made in wildfire policies and wildfire-mitigating strategies on private and public lands, devastating wildfires…

Wildland fires have become a major research subject among the national and international research community. Different simulation models have been developed to prevent this phenomenon. Nevertheless, fire propagation models are, until now, challenging due to the complexity of…

The fire risks in the vast Eurasian Subarctic are increasing, raising concerns for both local and global climate systems. Although some studies have addressed this problem, their conclusions only draw from relatively lower resolution data, and the sub-regional analysis of fire…

This study aims to evaluate the effect of fuel management of Fuel Breaks and the effect of forest type on surface fire behavior. Thirty pairs of Managed Areas vs. Non-Managed Areas were sampled. These were distributed throughout the Central Region of Portugal, in ten eucalyptus…

MED-Foreste-management of forest ecosystems to reduce wildfire risk-is a “simple” project, started in April 2019, co-financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) as a part of a larger family of projects called MED (MEDiterranean area) between Italy…

In the last decade, a progressive and continuous increase in devastating forest fires has been observed. The changes in wildfire characteristics show higher levels of fire danger, longer fire seasons, and intense and rapidly spreading “mega-fires”. In this context, the Interreg…

Background
Wildfire-related fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has many adverse health impacts, but its impacts on human epigenome are unknown. We aimed to evaluate the associations between long-term exposure to wildfire-related PM2.5 and blood DNA methylation, and whether the…

We examine the temporal and spatial structure of wildfires and rates of vegetation change in the Pacific sector of northwestern Patagonia (40°-44°S) over the last ∼18,000 years. Macroscopic Charcoal Accumulation Rates (CHAR), a proxy of past local fires, shows a geographic…

Understanding the impact of wildfires on soils exposed to fire is critical, especially in the current climate scenario, where an increase in the occurrence of wildfires is expected. Near-surface soil physical properties are affected by temperature increases caused by wildfires;…
