Changes in landscape fire-hazard during the second half of the 20th century: Agriculture abandonment and the changing role of driving factors

2015-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Past the middle of the 20th century, forest fires started to increase markedly in the Mediterranean countries of southern Europe. Hazardous land-use and land-cover (LULC) changes are considered major drivers of increased fire-hazard and fire risk. However, the contribution of various LULC changes to increased fire-hazard, as well as the role of environmental or socioeconomic factors in driving them, including its...
