Empirical Modelling of Stem Cambium Heating Caused by Prescribed Burning in Mediterranean Pine Forest

J Madrigal, Ó Rodríguez de Rivera, C Carrillo… - Fire, 2023 - mdpi.com
Little is known about the interactions between the variables involved in the post-fire
response of Mediterranean pine species to prescribed burning (PB). Thus, it is essential to …

Drought before fire increases tree mortality after fire
