Agroforestry as a sustainable land use option to reduce wildfires risk in European Mediterranean areas

Christos Damianidis et al.

Summary: Wildfires have been a natural phenomenon, but human interference has led to an increase in their frequency, posing threats to natural vegetation and releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide. Agroforestry has been shown to have potential in reducing fire risk and protecting ecosystems, particularly in European Mediterranean countries.

Do fires discriminate? Socio-economic disadvantage, wildfire hazard exposure and the Australian 2019-20 'Black Summer' fires

Sonia Akter et al.

Summary: The study reveals a significant positive relationship between fire hazard exposure and socio-economic disadvantage in the Black Summer wildfires in Australia. The most socio-economically disadvantaged communities bore a disproportionately higher hazard exposure, and this relationship exists in inner regional, outer regional, and remote areas of New South Wales and Victoria, the two worst-hit states.

Who Is Vulnerable and Where Do They Live? Case Study of Three Districts in the Uttarakhand Region of India Himalaya

Corinne Grainger et al.

Summary: The study using a social vulnerability framework in Uttarakhand, India, found that higher access to assets, smaller households, the presence of a bathroom, and higher-quality building materials are associated with reduced vulnerability to natural hazards. This analysis helps to identify who is vulnerable and where they live in urban and surrounding areas in the region.

Long-term trends in wildfire damages in California

Hanna Buechi et al.

Summary: This paper examines four decades of data on wildfires in California and finds that wildfires in the state have been increasing in size and destructive power. The trend is particularly evident in the wildland-urban interface. Total structure damage from wildfires has been steadily growing over the past forty years, indicating that the recent fires are part of a larger trend towards more destructive wildfires.

Characterizing forest vulnerability and risk to climate-change hazards

Judit Lecina-Diaz et al.

Summary: The proposed framework offers a general method for assessing forest vulnerability and risk, including concepts of exposure, hazard magnitude, susceptibility, and lack of adaptive capacity. It provides a standardized procedure for defining and combining these components, along with a list of indicators applicable to the primary hazards to forests associated with climate change.
