Abandonment of agricultural land is widespread in many parts of the world, leading to shrub
and tree encroachment. The increase of flammable plant biomass, that is, fuel load …

The occurrence of large and recurring forest fires has long been associated with fire-prone
environments, but this perception has been shifted rapidly in recent decades as Earths' …

Climate change and landscape transformation have led to rapid expansion of peri-urban
areas globally, representing new 'laboratories' for the study of human–nature relationships …

Wildfires have been systematically studied from the early 1950s, with significant progress in
the applied computational methodologies during the 21st century. However, modern …

Abstract Live Fuel Moisture Content (LFMC) is a critical variable affecting fire ignition,
behavior and severity in many ecosystems. Although the use of meteorological drought …

Forest ecosystems are increasingly subject to disturbances, such as extreme (climate)
events, fires and pathological outbreaks, which exert significant (and still poorly quantified) …

Fuel moisture limits the availability of fuel to wildfires in many forest areas worldwide, but the
effects of climate change on moisture constraints remain largely unknown. Here we …

Taken as a classical issue in applied economics, the notion of 'convergence'is based on the
concept of path dependence, ie, from the previous trajectory undertaken by the system …

Live fuel moisture content (LFMC) is an input factor in fire behavior simulation models highly
contributing to fire ignition and propagation. Develo** models capable of accurately …

Vegetation changes caused by fire events are visible instantly but changes in soils are less
apparent, and could be short-term, long-term or permanent in nature. Research has shown …
