Devastating wildfires have increased in frequency and intensity over the last few years,
worsened by climate change and prolonged droughts. Wildfire susceptibility mapping with …

In January 2017, hundreds of fires in Mediterranean Chile burnt more than 5000 km 2, an
area nearly 14 times the 40-year mean. We contextualize these fires in terms of estimates of …

Abstract Regional Climate Models (RCMs) provide climate information required for
evaluating vulnerability, impacts, and adaptation at finer scales than their global driving …

Any conservation strategy must deal with the uncertainty caused by anthropogenic climate
change. In order to forecast such changes, the climate change velocity approach has been …

Heatwaves (HWs) are highly dangerous threats to human and ecosystem health, as well as
to many economic sectors around the world. In the present work focused on Chile, we use a …

Drying and rewetting (D/W) of soil have significant impacts on soil organic matter (SOM)
turnover. We hypothesised that frequent D/W cycles would release the labile organic matter …

Achieving a local understanding of fire regimes requires high-resolution, systematic and
dynamic databases. High-quality information can help to transform evidence into decision …

This study explores the main drivers of heat wave (HW) events in central Chile using state-of-
the-art reanalysis data (ERA5) and observations during the extended austral summer …

Abstract Aim Mediterranean Chile is part of the five recognized mediterranean‐type climates
in the world and harbours a very rich floral diversity. Climate change has been reported as a …

Central Chile faces atmospheric pollution issues all year long as a result of elevated
concentrations of fine particulate matter during the cold months and tropospheric ozone …
