Climate and land-use changes have been contributing to the increase in occurrence of extreme wildfires, shifting fire regimes driving desertification, particularly Mediterranean-climate regions. However, few studies researched influence land use/cover on carbon storage at broad national scale. To address this gap, we used spatially explicit data from annual burned areas mainland Portugal build a typology based accumulated area its temporal concentration (Gini Index) between 1984 2019. This was then combined with stock different landscapes explore relationships landscape types two important ecosystem services: wildfire reduction stock. Multivariate analyses were performed these results revealed strong relationship dominated by maritime pine eucalypt plantations highly hazardous regimes, which turn hold highest stocks. Shrubland mixed associated low stocks less regimes. Specialized agricultural landscapes, as well native forests agroforestry least wildfires. In case however, good performance is achieved cost poorest stock, whereas strike best trade-off regime. Our findings support how nature-based solutions promoting mitigation services may prevent revert degradation harming Mediterranean

However, few studies researched effects change on carbon storage at broad national scale. To address this gap, we used spatially explicit data from annual burned areas mainland Portugal build a typology based accumulated area its temporal concentration (Gini index) between 1984 2019, which was combined with 2018 stock (above- below-ground), landscape re-sulting cluster analysis over composition, diversity configuration, explore relationships types two major ecosystem services stake: wildfire reduction stock. Cross tabulations, logistic linear regressions were performed these results revealed strong relationship landscapes dominated by maritime pine eucalypt forest plantations high-hazardous regime but hold highest Shrubland-mixed associated lower stocks less hazardous regimes. Specialized agricultural landscapes, as well mixed native forests agro-forestry least wildfires. In case however, good performance is achieved cost poorest stock, de-noting land degradation, whereas agroforestry strike best trade-off regime.
