Wildfires represent one of the primary disturbance agents in Mediterranean, significantly affecting ecological integrity forests. Therefore, understanding spatial patterns post-fire vegetation recovery is crucial to improving forest restoration planning and assessing regeneration capacity different stands that have been impacted by wildfires. In this study, we analysed rates within context fire severity, pre-fire vegetation, climate conditions, for Mediterranean classes, namely, pine, holm,...

Soil is exposed to increasing threats from human activities, including land use change and abandonment, as well climate change-induced events such droughts, floods wildfires. Although the Mediterranean environment has a coevolutionary history with fire, it not exempt threat posed by recent increase in frequency severity of this disturbance. In Italy, for instance, total burned area 2021 exceeded that 2017, year remembered particularly critical point view.In context, research project...

Wildfires represent one of the major primary disturbance agents in Mediterranean environment, with significant effects on forest ecosystems' functions, services, and structure. Understanding spatial patterns post-fire vegetation recovery is crucial to improve restoration planning assess regeneration capacity different stands fire affected, where critical issues burned areas region. In this study, we analyzed rates according severity, pre-fire vegetation, climate conditions, for classes...

<p>The disturbance and recovery of European Forest ecosystems are greatly affected by wildfires, requiring continued monitoring to observe vegetational structure altered over time. One the most important parameters is “fire severity” defined as magnitude environmental change caused wildfires. Due correlation between severity post-fire vegetation, fire an  indicator define operations in burned areas. Satellite based-data becoming a key...
