SoilProtec - medidas de emergência para proteção do solo pós-incêndios : desenho experimental [PDF]

, 2012
Portugal é anualmente percorrido por incêndios, existindo uma tendência positiva para o aumento anual do seu número e da respetiva área ardida, bem como um aumento da recorrência (Ferreira-Leite et al., 2011) e do número e dimensão dos grandes incêndios (

Impacts of fire on canopy structure and its resilience depend on successional stage in Amazonian secondary forests

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 394-410, August 2025.
We analyzed the effects of fire on secondary forests' vertical structure in different successional stages using lidar metrics. Our results show that independently of the successional stage, secondary forests that experienced fire were more degraded than unburned secondary forest areas. Overall, our results show that forests in early successional stage (

Linking leaf traits and litter flammability using a novel framework, tested with Brazilian Cerrado trees

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 1247-1261, May 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In tree‐dominated ecosystems, the behaviour of surface fires is largely controlled by the structure of fine fuels. Because leaves make up most of the fine fuels, the traits of those leaves—their size, shape and leaf area for a given mass—help determine the impacts of ...

As vagas de incêndios florestais de 2017 em Portugal continental, premissas de uma quarta ‘geração’?

Territorium: Revista Portuguesa de riscos, prevenção e segurança, 2018
A evolução dos incêndios em Portugal continental, ao longo dos últimos cinquenta anos, não tem sido constante, o que permite, combinando diferentes parâmetros estatísticos, estabelecer diferentes “gerações” de incêndios.
