Artificial intelligence has been applied in wildfire science and management since the 1990s,
with early applications including neural networks and expert systems. Since then, the field …

Wildland fires dramatically affect forest ecosystems, altering the loss of their biodiversity and
their sustainability. In addition, they have a strong impact on the global carbon balance and …

Wildfires threaten and kill people, destroy urban and rural property, degrade air quality,
ravage forest ecosystems, and contribute to global warming. Wildfire management decision …

Forest ecosystems in the Mediterranean Basin are mostly situated in the north of the Basin
(mesic). In the most southern and dry areas, the forest can only exist where topography …

Fire is among the most dangerous and devastating natural hazards in forest ecosystems
around the world. The development of computational ensemble models for improving the …

Fire frequency and burn severity may increase in pine forests in the Mediterranean Basin
under the warmer and drier climate projected for this region. Our study aims to evaluate the …

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a parameter of major importance participating in both
hydrological cycle and surface energy balance. Trends of ET are discussed along with the …

The design and implementation of pre-fire management strategies in heterogeneous
landscapes requires the identification of the ecological conditions contributing to the most …

There is a broad consensus in the academic and policy communities over the need to shift
the focus from fire suppression to fire prevention. To inform policies that effectively promote …

Fire severity is a function of dynamic interactions between vegetation and burning
conditions. To understand the factors that control it, accurate methods for estimating prefire …
