The observed trend towards warmer and drier conditions in southern Europe is projected to
continue in the next decades, possibly leading to increased risk of large fires. However, an …

Summer fires frequently rage across Mediterranean Europe, often intensified by high
temperatures and droughts. According to the state-of-the-art regional fire risk projections, in …

Anthropogenic climate change is widely thought to have enhanced fire danger across parts
of the world, including Mediterranean regions through increased evaporative demand and …

Fire regimes are shifting or are expected to do so under global change. Current fire
suppression is not able to control all wildfires, and its capability to do so might be …

We analyse the observed climate-driven changes in summer wildfires and their future
evolution in a typical Mediterranean environment (NE Spain). By analysing observed climate …

Recent studies have shown that temperature and precipitation in the Mediterranean are
expected to change, contributing to longer and more intense summer droughts that even …

Global warming is expected to increase droughts and heatwaves, and consequently fire
danger in southern Europe in the forthcoming decades. However, an assessment of the …

Fire activity has significantly changed in Europe over the last decades (1980–2020s), with
the emergence of summers attaining unprecedented fire prone weather conditions. Here we …

A record 500,000 hectares burned in Portugal during the extreme wildfire season of 2017,
with more than 120 human lives lost. Here we analyse the climatic factors responsible for the …

The impacts of climate change on fires are expected to be highly variable spatially and
temporally. In heavily anthropized landscapes, the great number of factors affecting fire …
