   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Gabriel Romeo Ferriols Pavico; [2023]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Wildfire; Fire Spatial Patterns; Road; Conformity; FWI; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : This study focuses on the Swedish wildfire season of 2018, when the country incurred ten times more than the average burnt area that occurred in previous years. The study aims to address a broad research question: Do roads influence the size of the burned area? This study fills the gap in research on the effects of roads in the spatial patterns of wildfires.

5. 4. The influence of climate, population density, tree species and land cover on fire pattern in mainland Portugal

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Luis Gomes; [2022]
   Keywords : GIS; forest fires; burnt Area; characteristic fire size; spatial analysis; mainland Portugal; FWI; Eucalyptus globulus; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Forest fires in mainland Portugal are becoming more extreme, resulting in increasingly larger burnt areas and tragic human fatalities, as was shown by the 2017 fires. Research shows that there are many natural factors contributing to such fire vulnerability conditions, such as climate, fuel continuity, forest structure, tree species types, amongst others, that are intertwined with anthropic factors than can intensity the fire vulnerability.
