MODELANDO EL RIESGO DE INCENDIOS EN ARGENTINA – UNA CONTRIBUCIÓN A LAS POLÍTICAS DE MANEJO DEL FUEGO

Revista de Investigación en Modelos Financieros, 2022
Según FAO (2021), el 90% de los incendios son explicados por causas humanas. Resulta por tanto fundamental incluir en los sistemas de evaluación de peligro y alerta temprana de incendios forestales y rurales factores antrópicos.

Sociodemographic circumstances, health, and life experience shape posttraumatic distress trajectories among individuals exposed to smoke during a large‐scale coal mine fire

Journal of Traumatic Stress, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 465-473, April 2023., 2023
Abstract The 2014 Hazelwood coal mine fire in the Latrobe Valley, Australia, distributed toxic smoke into surrounding communities over 45 days. This study investigated risk and protective factors associated with four trajectories of posttraumatic distress (resilient, recovery, delayed‐onset, chronic) among exposed adults.

Effects of interactions between anthropogenic stressors and recurring perturbations on ecosystem resilience and collapse

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 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 ...

Climate and socioeconomic drivers of biomass burning and carbon emissions from fires in tropical dry forests: A Pantropical analysis

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 1062-1079, February 2023., 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.

Integration of qualitative and quantitative methods for land‐use‐change modeling in a deforestation frontier

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 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.
