Risk analysis evolved out of the need to make decisions concerning highly stochastic
events, and is well suited to analyse the timing, location and potential effects of wildfires …

Background The risk of destructive wildfire on fire-prone landscapes with excessive fuel
buildup has prompted the use of fuel reduction treatments to protect valued resources from …

Forests are critical habitats for biodiversity and they are also essential for the provision of a
wide range of ecosystem services that are important to human well-being. There is …

This paper presents a new global burned area (BA) product, generated from the Moderate
