6. Assessing the impact of post-fire restoration interventions using spectral vegetation indices: A case study in El Bruc, Spain
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Ecological restoration has become an increasingly used practice to revert degraded land and mitigate the effects of extreme events in vulnerable biomes such as drylands. Methods to improve the assessment of these restoration interventions are essential to ensure their success, optimize resources and identify improvement aspects for future interventions. READ MORE

7. Evaluating forest wildfire effect on tree increment patterns for boreonemoral forests in Sweden: A pilot study using remote sensing
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The release of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) has substantially increased the global mean surface air temperature. Increases in global mean surface air temperature will lead to warmer and drier conditions, promoting more frequent, long-lasting, intense forest wildfires. READ MORE

8. Wildfire dynamics, local people’s fire use and underlying factors for wildfires at Liwale District in Southern Tanzania
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : Fire causes positive effects on the ecosystem if appropriately managed. Unmanaged fire may, however, rather be detrimental. Despite the substantial role the forests play in economics and other ecosystem services in Tanzania, the forest landscape is threatened by wildfires. READ MORE

9. Post-fire community changes in peatland dwelling beetles : A before-after-control impact study of beetle communities in Swedish mires after a megafire
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : As a consequence to climate change and resulting severe weather events such as prolonged hot and dry periods, wildfire frequency increases globally. Progressively, these effects are noticeable in high latitude countries such as Sweden where a megafire burned 13 100 ha of managed coniferous forest in 2014. READ MORE

10. Impact of fire and frost drought events on vegetation greenness and albedo in Subarctic Scandinavia
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : With climate change, the frequency in climate extremes such as drought, heavy rainfalls, and extreme temperatures is predicted to increase. These extremes can potentially stress and damage vegetation over large areas, leading to altered carbon cycle, vegetation greenness, albedo, and shifted species composition. READ MORE
