Wildfire management in Mediterranean-type regions: paradigm change needed
During the last decades, climate and land use changes led to an increased prevalence of
megafires in Mediterranean-type climate regions (MCRs). Here, we argue that current …

Increasing aridity causes larger and more severe forest fires across Europe
Area burned has decreased across Europe in recent decades. This trend may, however,
reverse under ongoing climate change, particularly in areas not limited by fuel availability (ie …

Assessing impacts of future climate change on extreme fire weather and pyro-regions in Iberian Peninsula
Weather conditions play an important role in wildfire activity. In many regions, future climate
could lead to different fire weather, with impacts on the ignition, behaviour, and suppression …

Shrub clearing and extensive livestock as a strategy for enhancing ecosystem services in degraded Mediterranean mid-mountain areas
Land abandonment in the Mediterranean mountains since the 20th century has led to a
reduction of ecosystem services, due to revegetation and homogenization of the landscape …
