Climate and socioeconomic drivers of biomass burning and carbon emissions from fires in tropical dry forests: A Pantropical analysis. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2023 About 20% of the Pantropical tropical dry forest biomass is affected by fires of which small fires explain most of it. The spatial distribution of small fires is related to socioeconomic and biophysical drivers, while climatic conditions drive large and intense fires.

Effects of interactions between anthropogenic stressors and recurring perturbations on ecosystem resilience and collapse. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2023 Abstract Insights into declines in ecosystem resilience and their causes and effects can inform preemptive action to avoid ecosystem collapse and loss of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well‐being. Empirical studies of ecosystem collapse are rare and hampered by ecosystem complexity, nonlinear and lagged responses, and interactions across ...

Software for prioritizing conservation actions based on probabilistic information. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2021 Abstract Marxan is the most common decision‐support tool used to inform the design of protected‐area systems. The original version of Marxan does not consider risk and uncertainty associated with threatening processes affecting protected areas, including uncertainty about the location and condition of species’ populations and habitats now and in the ...

Integration of qualitative and quantitative methods for land-use-change modeling in a deforestation frontier. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Development and implementation of effective protected area management to reduce deforestation depend in part on identifying factors contributing to forest loss and areas at risk of conversion, but standard land‐use‐change modeling may not fully capture contextual factors that are not easily quantified.

Niche-based approach to explore the impacts of environmental disturbances on biodiversity. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Globally, species are increasingly at risk from compounding threatening processes, an increasingly prominent driver of which is environmental disturbances. To facilitate effective conservation efforts following such events, methods that evaluate potential impacts across multiple species and provide landscape‐scale information are needed to ...

Diseño de índices de riesgo de incendios forestales para Chile
Bosque, 1990 SUMMARY A forest fire risk system is proposed, based on a study of the factors that influence the probability of occurrence. Information concerning meteorology, population, vegetation and topography was gathered in order to analyze their relation with the ocurrence of about 20.000 forest fires during a four-year period (1985-88).

Evaluación y gestión del riesgo de incendios forestales
Geo UERJLos incendios forestales causan numerosos cambios ambientales, como la reducción de la biodiversidad, la pérdida de los suelos, pérdida de la vegetación y consecuentemente el aumento de la deforestación. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo principal evaluar el riesgo de incendios forestales, en la región del cerrado brasileño que presenta una ...
