| Sumario: | [EN] In the Mediterranean basin, climate change projections indicate an increase in maximum and minimum temperatures and an increase in heat waves and extreme droughts which, in relation to forest fires, imply an increase in their risk, intensity and severity. Therefore, adaptive silviculture to climate change must prepare forest stands to minimize the damage caused by fire and maximize their resilience. In this context, the application of prescribed burning is a very useful tool for the modification of forest fuel to reduce the severity of potential fires and increase the resilience of forest stands. In this study, the results of the application of prescribed burns in pure and mixed Pinus nigra ssp salzmanii pine forests in the Iberian system, carried out in different seasons, are presented. After the burns, the effects on the trees (litterfall biomass, cambium damage, tree growth, biotic damage) and on the soil biome are being monitored. Seven years after the first burns were carried out, the monitoring of the results makes it possible to assess their effects on the aspects considered, and to obtain practical conclusions for the use of prescribed fire as a preventive tool for forestry aimed at adapting to climate change. The work carried out has also highlighted the importance of the relationship between science and management for forest fire prevention. |
