Patterns of wildfire occurrence at the landscape level were characterised during the period
1990–94 in Portugal. Based on land-cover information within 5591 burned patches (larger …

The assumption that increased wildfire incidence in the Mediterranean Basin during the last
decades is an outcome of changes in land use warrants an objective analysis. In this study …

The majority of wildfires in Spain are caused by human activities. However, much wildfire
research has focused on the biological and physical aspects of wildfire, with comparatively …

In mountainous Mediterranean regions, land abandonment processes in past decades are
hypothesized to trigger secondary vegetal succession and homogenization, which in recent …

The book presents a wide range of techniques for extracting information from satellite
remote sensing images in forest fire danger assessment. It covers the main concepts …

We present a spatially explicit Landscape Fire-Succession Model (LFSM) developed to
represent Mediterranean Basin landscapes and capable of integrating modules and …

The Arribes del Duero region spans the border of both Spain and Portugal along the Duero

Los métodos de clasificación de usos del suelo en regiones remotas presentan dos serias
limitaciones. La primera es la mixtura conceptual de usos con coberturas que no refleja el …

This study analyzed the relationship between landscape homogeneity and fire hazard for a
certain area and time period (1984 to 1995), by using logit models. Homogeneity was …
