Integrating Remote Sensing Methods and Fire Simulation Models to Estimate Fire Hazard in a South-East Mediterranean Protected Area

Abstract: Unlike low intensity fire which promotes landscape heterogeneity and important ecosystem services, large high-intensity wildfires constitute a significant destructive factor despite the increased amount of resources allocated to fire suppression and the improvement of firefighting tactics and levels of organization. Wildfires also affect properties, while an increasing number of fatalities are also associated with wildfires. It is now widely accepted that an effective wildfire management strategy can no longer… Show more

“…In the Mediterranean region, fire has had a significant role in shaping the landscape and determining ecosystems and species distribution and is considered one of the most fire-prone regions in the world [11][12][13][14][15]. After the establishment of the characteristic Mediterranean climate in the region, approximately 2.8 million years ago [16], fire has become one of the major selection forces for the Mediterranean flora, and it is the adaptation of many species to recurrent fires which ensures their persistence [12].…”

“…Como relatado neste estudo, mesmo não havendo indicativos na literatura de ocorrência A despeito das incertezas acerca das mudanças climáticas, em relação ao comportamento do fogo, estima-se que ele seja mais intenso e violento no futuro próximo (COCHRANE, 2001;CARDIL et al, 2020;KELLEY et al, 2020;LIBONATI et al, 2020;XOFIS et al, 2020) Apesar disso, o uso do sensoriamento remoto é a única opção confiável e operacional para mensuração dos impactos ambientais e socioeconomicos dos eventos de incêndio, especialmente considerando a extensão territorial da Amazônia (PESSÔA et al, 2020). Portanto, a espacialização do risco de incêndio contribui para a correta alocação de recursos humanos, financeiros e tecnológicos, tornando a tomada de decisão mais eficiente (RIBEIRO et al, 2012;ANDERSON et al, 2017;MORELLO et al, 220 XOFIS et al, 2020).…”

“…Quaisquer índices de risco de incêndios necessitam ser adequados e ajustados ao seu local de aplicação . Nesse sentido, a identificação da cobertura vegetal é fundamental em estudos de monitoramento de áreas com risco de incêndio (XOFIS et al, 2020). Morello et al (2020) afirmam serem pontos negativos a forma de abordagem por estruturas fundiárias (áreas protegidas, terra indígena ou projetos de assentamento) e a consideração regionalizada (meso) dos municípios socioeconomicamente semelhantes.…”
