Romania - Management of Wildfire Risk
Romania faces rising wildfire risk, with both frequency and impact expected to intensify. In 2021, Romania was identified as one of the countries in the European Union (EU) most affected by wildfires. Despite the country's temperate continental climate, which generally reduces wildfire risk, human activities have contributed to increasing incidents ...

An Econometric Model of Wildfire Suppression Productivity [PDF]
We estimate a model of suppression productivity for individual fires, where suppression productivity is measured in terms of the reduction in the estimated market value of wildfire losses. Estimation results show that at the margin, every dollar increase

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Compound dry‐hot events (CDHEs) exerted severer damage on vegetation productivity for temperate shrublands, savannas and grasslands in drylands. Land‐atmosphere coupling was associated with severer negative impacts of CDHEs through soil moisture–temperature feedback, especially for dry‐event‐leading CDHEs.

Cyprus - Management of Wildfire Risk
The Republic of Cyprus (hereafter referred to as ‘Cyprus’) faces a significant and increasing risk of wildfires, as evidenced by recent large-scale fires. The island is becoming susceptible to extreme weather events, fueled by climate change. Despite being an island of less than 10,000 km², Cyprus ranks second out of 24 European countries in terms of ...

Multi‐Timescale Drought Evolution in Greece (1960–2022) From Station‐Based SPI and SPEI
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Using homogenized data from 67 HNMS stations in Greece (1960–2022), we calculated SPI and SPEI at 1–12‐month scales to characterize meteorological to hydrological drought. We quantified the network‐based spatial extent of drought, compared SPI and SPEI drought signals, and tested changes with autocorrelation‐robust Mann–Kendall trends and Pettitt ...

Heat, Health and Holidays: Reported Heat Related Adjustments to Australian Tourist Behaviour
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study assessed how climate‐related hazards affect Australian tourists' travel planning. While 80% of tourists report no impact, the 20% who do experience disruption most commonly change their activities, timing, or destination, with heat and rain affecting the same proportion of tourists across beach, city, nature, and family tourism types ...

An Agent-Based Model of Mediterranean Agricultural Land-Use/Cover Change for Examining Wildfire Risk [PDF]
Humans have a long history of activity in Mediterranean Basin landscapes. Spatial heterogeneity in these landscapes hinders our understanding about the impacts of changes in human activity on ecological processes, such as wildfire.

From Rare to Recurrent: Intensifying Hot–Dry Extremes Across Romania
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Romania has undergone a marked shift toward more frequent and spatially extensive compound hot–dry months since the 1990s, with persistent hotspots in the eastern Moldavian Plateau and the lower Danube–Bărăgan–Black Sea lowlands and comparatively buffered conditions at higher elevations.

Quantitative risk assessment for the compound drought-wildfire disaster
Scientific ReportsCompound drought-wildfire (CDW) disasters, driven by the interaction of drought and wildfire, are increasing worldwide. Despite this trend, there is still a lack of methodologies for quantitatively assessing CDW disaster risk, which makes it difficult to
