Background Long-term farmland abandonment has increased fuel build-up in many Euro-Mediterranean mountainous regions. The high fuel hazard in these landscapes, combined with ongoing climate change, is increasing the frequency of extreme wildfires, thus ...

Relationship between forest fires and air quality: a study of particulate matter in localities distant from the main emission source [PDF]
Wildfires represent a growing threat to air quality in fire-prone regions; however, the spatiotemporal dynamics of pollutant dispersion to distant localities remain inadequately characterized.

Fire and climatic extremes shape mammal distributions in a fire‐prone landscape
AbstractAimExtreme climatic events and large wildfires are predicted to increase as the world's climate warms. Understanding how they shape species’ distributions will be critical for conserving biodiversity. We used a 7‐year dataset of mammals collected during and after south‐east Australia's Millennium Drought to assess the roles of fire history ...

Ecology and evolution in fire-prone ecosystems
During the last years I've been working in many topics related to fire ecology and plant evolution in ecosystems subject to recurrent fires (mainly mediterranean and savanna ecosystems). Because I believe knowledge should be spread around easily, I make my results available to the public in my web page (see publications list) and in this […]

A national-scale sampled temperate fuel moisture database
Fuel moisture content (FMC) is important for the ignitability, behaviour and severity of wildfires. Understanding the drivers of FMC and its spatial and temporal variability can help us develop fuel moisture models and inform assessments of wildfire ...
