It also must follow the principles preserving conditions for reproduction biologically stable, highly productive tree stands rational sustainable use forest resources. Therefore, one main tasks is to maximize natural seed potential stands. Felling corresponds this principle, being aimed at maximizing regeneration forest, a methodological basis creating productive, stable The purpose study develop felling method that promotes offer organizational technical indicators its implementation.

Wildfires are frequently observed in watersheds with a Mediterranean climate and seriously affect vegetation, soil, hydrology, ecosystems as they cause abrupt changes land cover. Assessing wildfire effects, well the recovery process, is critical for mitigating their impacts. This paper presents geospatial analysis approach that enables investigation of effects on hydrology. The prediction regeneration potential period needed restoration hydrological behavior to pre-fire conditions also presented. To this end, catastrophic occurred August 2021 wider area Varybobi, north Athens, Greece, used an example.

Curve Numbers post-fire runoff estimations were found be quite similar those derived from measured data. alignment shows SCS-CN method effectively reflects watershed, supports use assessing wildfire-affected areas. results proposed can provide important protection

Abstract Background Historically, wildfire regimes produced important landscape‐scale disturbances in many regions globally. The “pyrodiversity begets biodiversity” hypothesis suggests that wildfires generate temporally and spatially heterogeneous mosaics of severity post‐burn recovery enhance biodiversity at landscape scales. However, river management has often led to channel incision disconnects rivers from their floodplains, desiccating floodplain habitats depleting groundwater. In conjunction with predicted increases frequency, intensity extent under climate change, this the likelihood deep, uniform burns reduce biodiversity. Predicted synergy restoration increase Recent focus on re‐wetting successional habitat mosaics, developed for flood prevention, could restored floodplains make less uniform, increasing climate‐change resilience; an synergy. According theory, would also possibility is yet be tested empirically. We suggest potential research avenues.

This paper presents the MINDED-FBA, a remote-sensing-based tool for determination of both flooded and burned areas. The tool, freely distributed as QGIS plugin, consists an adaptation development previously published Multi Index Image Differencing methods (MINDED MINDED-BA). MINDED-FBA allows integration combination wider diversity satellite sensor datasets, now including synthetic aperture radar (SAR), in addition to optical multispectral data. performance is evaluated six case studies located Portugal, Australia, Pakistan, Italy, USA. were chosen representing wide range conditions, such type hazardous event (i.e., flooding or fire), scale application local regional), site specificities (e.g., climatic morphology), available data (optical SAR). results are compared respect reference delineation datasets (mostly from Copernicus EMS). with SAR particularly effective delineate flooding, while resulted best performances Nonetheless, types remote sensing (data fusion approach) also provides high correlations datasets. could represent new near-real-time solution, capable supporting emergency response measures.

Forest ecosystems are vital for sustainable development and human well-being globally in Europe. Sustainably managed forests fundamental combating natural disasters providing multiple important goods services humans the environment. However, with increasing climate change its associated effects, have become severely regularly prone to fires. This is seriously threatening forest protection, safety, economy, biodiversity. In this context, understanding future fire risks, susceptibility, hazards, prevention essentially needed. study thus examines risks hazards Leiria National (Mata Nacional de Leiria), Portugal using 2017 as a benchmark. With adoption of GIS remote sensing techniques data, vegetation type (NDMI), factors (roads settlement proximity), terrain characteristics (slope aspect) were assessed map risk. Through multi-criteria analysis, these data integrated generate risk index. Results demonstrate that about 46% area within high-risk risky zones, 50% considered moderate-risk zones 3% classified low risk-free zones. Sensitivity analysis indicated areas mostly moisture coniferous fuel types while high deciduous types. Further, it was established observed attributed proximity settlements roads little topographical influence. The suggests an increased under prevailing conditions hiking potential burnt areas. We proposed effective proactive measures adaptive management approaches prevent mitigate devastating impacts fires location.
