The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

Wildfires are an integral part of Mediterranean ecosystems; humans impact on landscapes
imply changes in fuel amount and continuity, and thus in fire regime. We tested the …
