The global forest carbon (C) stock is estimated at 662 Gt of which 45% is in soil organic
matter. Thus, comprehensive understanding of the effects of forest management practices on …

Climate change has lengthened wildfire seasons and transformed fire regimes throughout
the world. Thus, capturing fuel and fire dynamics is critical for projecting Earth system …

Forest dieback processes linked to drought are expected to increase due to climate
warming. Remotely sensed data offer several advantages over common field monitoring …

Mediterranean grasslands are semi-natural, fire-prone, species-rich ecosystems that have
been maintained for centuries through a combination of fire, grazing, and mowing. Over the …

Abstract In the Mediterranean Basin, changes in climate and fire regime (increased
recurrence and severity) reduce ecosystem services after wildfires by increasing soil …

Prescribed burnings reduce the biomass and the risk of wildfires but can also alter soil water
repellency. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of several prescribed …

Various different factors have led to the accumulation of biomass in forest soils in the
Mediterranean-climate region in the last few decades, thus exacerbating the effects of …

Climate change and the accumulation of surface fuel are leading to global changes in the
occurrence of increasingly severe fires. In light of current budgetary constraints, prescribed …

Prescribed burning is a technically demanding and usually highly scrutinized and debated
practice. Barriers of various natures have constrained the development of prescribed …

Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) stands are prone to high-intensity fire. Fuel treatments
lessen potential fire behaviour and severity, but evidence of their effectiveness when tested …
