Every year approximately half a million hectares of land are burned by wildfires in southern
Europe, causing large ecological and socio-economic impacts. Climate and land use …

Wildland fire is a global phenomenon, and a result of interactions between climate–weather,
fuels and people. Our climate is changing rapidly primarily through the release of …

This study proposed an integrated approach to generating a forest fire risk map. It used
geographic information system–based multiple criteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) with …

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 …

Wildfire activity is expected to increase across the Mediterranean Basin because of climate
change. However, the effects of future climate change on the combinations of atmospheric …

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 …

Fire occurrence, which results from the presence of an ignition source and the conditions for
a fire to spread, is an essential component of fire risk assessment. In this paper, we present …

This paper reviews the European summer heat wave of 2003, with special emphasis on the
first half of August 2003, jointly with its significant societal and environmental impact across …

Blocking occurrence and its impacts on European temperature have been studied in the last
decade. However, most previous studies on blocking impacts have focused on winter only …

We provide an empirical, global test of the varying constraints hypothesis, which predicts
systematic heterogeneity in the relative importance of biomass resources to burn and …
