Forest fires under climate, social and economic changes in Europe, the Mediterranean and other fire-affected areas of the world (FUME)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Fire regimes result from interactions between climate, land-use and land-cover (LULC), and socioeconomic factors, among other. These changed during the last decades, particularly around the Mediterranean. Our understanding of how they affected fire regime in the past is limited. During this century temperatures, drought and heat waves will very likely increase, and rainfall decrease. These and fur ...
