Il sistema FIRE-SAT per il monitoraggio post-incendio: il caso-studio dell'incendio di Potenza del 21-23 luglio 2015

open access: yesGEOmedia, 2017
Remote sensing data can usefully support the fire management operational applications in different spatial and temporal scales with a synoptic point of view and low cost technologies.

Disaster Cross‐Sector Collaboration Networks: Evidence from Four Historical Disasters

open access: yesRisk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 17, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT By conducting content analysis and social network analysis of media coverage of four historical disasters (i.e., the 2011 Joplin Tornado, 2013 Moore Tornado, 2017 Hurricane Harvey, and the 2023 Maui wildfire), this study uncovered characteristics of cross‐sector disaster collaboration networks.

Long‐term comparison shows protected and non‐protected forests differ in harvesting, but not in wildfires or drought‐driven dieback

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
Lower forest harvesting in Natura 2000 sites may align with socio‐economic barriers often claimed by local communities, but protection does not influence vulnerability to other disturbances. In a general scenario of reduced forest harvesting in the region, we argue that differences in harvesting due to protection are statistically significant but ...

Trait‐based species selection for restoration: A case study from tropical landscapes dominated by bracken

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results can be used by stakeholders to select the species best suited for active restoration projects in bracken‐dominated areas throughout the tropical region. Furthermore, our trait‐based approach, which considers seedling performance in disturbed areas, can serve as a guide for species selection in restoration programmes in other disturbed ...

Diversity modulates above‐ground productivity in response to disturbances: The case of Iberian forests

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 12, Page 3605-3621, December 2025.
We analysed whether forest productivity responses to disturbances were modulated by structural and functional diversity, as well as by functional dominance, and whether these responses vary among functional groups. Forest diversity can mitigate the negative effects of disturbances on productivity.

Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.

Más allá del humo. La ecología política de los incendios forestales a partir del caso de Horta de Sant Joan (Tarragona, Cataluña)

open access: yesDocuments d'Anàlisi Geogràfica, 2013
Analizamos el dramático incendio de Horta de Sant Joan de 2009 en Cataluña, bajo el marco de la ecología política. La historia ambiental local, los cambios de usos del paisaje forestal anterior al incendio y el choque entre los diferentes discursos ...

Toward a functional understanding of novel fire regimes in tropical forests

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use alterations are driving forest fires to unprecedented frequencies and intensities worldwide. Even wet tropical forests—historically rarely subjected to fire—are increasingly experiencing fire disturbances. The impact of wildfires on these forests is likely large, since many of their tree species are not adapted to ...

Assessing spatial variability and efficacy of surrogate species at an ecosystem scale

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Preserving biodiversity is a central goal of conservation, but, in practice, monitoring biodiversity often involves assessing population trends for one or a handful of species that are presumed proxies for biodiversity. Despite the popularity of surrogate species strategies, the links between biodiversity and surrogate species are rarely ...
