Key message Wildfire danger and burnt areas should increase over the century in southern
Europe, owing to climate warming. Fire-prone area expansion to the north and to …

Forested environments are subject to large and high intensity unplanned fire events, owing
to, among other factors, the high quantity and complex structure of fuel in these …

Purpose This paper reviews the most recent literature related to the use of remote sensing
(RS) data in wildland fire management. Recent Findings Studies dealing with pre-fire …

Surface fuel information is an essential input for models of fire behaviour and fire effects.
However, spatially explicit, continuous information on surface fuel loads and fuelbed depth …

Mediterranean forests are recurrently affected by fire. The recurrence of fire in such
environments and the number and severity of previous fire events are directly related to fire …

Wildfires cause substantial environmental and socioeconomic impacts and threaten many
Spanish forested landscapes. We describe how LiDAR-derived canopy fuel characteristics …

In this study, we used data from a thinning trial conducted on 34 different sites and 102
sample plots established in pure and even-aged Pinus radiata and Pinus pinaster stands, to …

Canopy fuel characterization is critical to assess fire hazard and potential severity in forest
stands. Simulation tools provide useful information for fire prevention planning to reduce …

[EN] Forest ecosystems provide a host of services and societal benefits, including carbon
storage, habitat for fauna, recreation, and provision of wood or non-wood products. In a …

Forest structure is a key driver of forest functional processes. The characterization of forest
structure across spatiotemporal scales is essential for forest monitoring and management …
