Desarrollo de la vegetación y periodicidad de incendios forestales
In the Spanish district of VaIencia an average of 15.000 Ha of vegetation are burned out every year. This actually accounts for ca. 4% of the provine's forest resources in spite of the very strong efforts being made in order to both prevent forest fires and lower in size the burned out areas. U...

| Resumo: | In the Spanish district of VaIencia an average of 15.000 Ha of vegetation are burned out every year. This actually accounts for ca. 4% of the provine's forest resources in spite of the very strong efforts being made in order to both prevent forest fires and lower in size the burned out areas. Under these circumstances, the questions which would normally be made as to the reasons for the no decrese in the affected areas are: Are there insuficient extinguishing means to be blamed for this problem? Are there more o less variable weather conditions prone to bnng about the fires? 1s it that the vegetation of the province (which in fact is the resource destroyed by fire) is exhibiting such a degree of flammability or burnability that renders the catastrophic fires unavoidable? The above are the reasons whch we are planning to look into and consider in detail in order to better understand bosh the forest fire evolution and the factors involved in such a natural element as fire, which in fact is shaping the vegetation of Mediterranean ecosystems. |
