Wildfire is known to create the pre-conditions leading accelerated soil erosion. Unfortunately, its occurrence expected increase with climate change. The objective of this study was assess impacts fire on runoff and erosion in a context global change, evaluate effectiveness mulching as post-fire mitigation measure. For this, long-term model LandSoil calibrated for Mediterranean catchment north-central Portugal that burnt 2011. then applied 20-year period quantify separate combined...
Abstract. Fire weather indices are used to assess the effect of on wildfire behaviour and support fire management. Previous studies identified high daily severity rating percentile (DSRp) as being strongly related total burnt area (BA) in Portugal, but it is still poorly understood how this knowledge can management at a smaller spatial scale. The aims study were (1) whether 90th DSRp (DSR90p) threshold adequate for estimating most BA mainland Portugal; (2) analyse variability that explains...
The world is facing a global sustainability crisis affecting environmental systems and society. Addressing these issues requires multi-dimensional approach that can integrate energy, water, environment Systems, as well provide scientific policy advice. In this study, an updated version of Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) was used, together with new data compatible Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) projections, to significantly improve the work developed before. SSP climate (temperature,...
As mudanças climáticas já são realidade e os relatórios do Painel Intergovernamental sobre Mudanças Climáticas (IPCC) deixam claro que aceleradas vêm sendo observadas após a revolução industrial, em função de atividades antropogênicas. Variações significativas podem mudar as características físicas atuais, impor restrições ocupações impactar setores ambiental, social econômico. Com clima quente seco, mesorregião Norte Minas Gerais se mostra frágil às climáticas. Importantes econômicas como...
<p>Fire strongly depends on the weather, especially in Mediterranean climate regions with rainy winters but dry and hot summers, as Portugal. Fire weather indices are commonly used to assess current and/or cumulative effect of conditions fuel moisture fire behaviour. The Daily Severity Rating (DSR) is a numeric rating difficulty controlling fires, based Canadian Weather Index (FWI), developed accurately expected efforts required for suppression. Recently, 90th percentile DSR...
Abstract. Fire weather indices are used to assess the effect of conditions on wildfire behaviour and high Daily Severity Rating percentile (DSRp) is strongly related total burned area (BA) in Portugal. The aims this study were to: 1) if 90th DSRp (DSR90p) threshold adequate for Portugal; 2) identify characterize regional variations that justifies bulk BA; and, 3) analyse vegetation cover can explain spatial variability. We data, reanalysis data from ERA5, 2001–2019 period, land use map...

<p>In the last decades, Mediterranean Europe has been highly affected by wildfires. Larger wildfires and impacts occurred during as a result of extreme fire weather, observed in recent years. In Iberian Peninsula, influence weather on incidence is particularly important, purpose this study was to investigate detail relationship its current future regime.</p><p>The Daily Severity Rating (DSR) other indices Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI)...
