Análisis del régimen de incendios forestales y su relación con los cambios de uso del suelo en la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid (1989-2010)
[EN] In this article we study forest fires in the Autonomous Community of Madrid into two periods, 1989-1995 and 2007-2010, to characterize and compare the fire regime. We also analyse the selectivity action of fire in relation to the land uses of the region. Fire data was obtained from Landsat (TM...

| Sumario: | [EN] In this article we study forest fires in the Autonomous Community of Madrid into two periods, 1989-1995 and 2007-2010, to characterize and compare the fire regime. We also analyse the selectivity action of fire in relation to the land uses of the region. Fire data was obtained from Landsat (TM / ETM +) while the land use information was obtained from CORINE Land Cover maps (1990 and 2006). Fire regime was defined through seven indicators. Results showed a clear decreasing of fire activity between the two periods, most important in the burned area (78%) than in the number of fires (16%). The analysis of the fire selectivity on land uses was based on the Manly´s selection ratio. In the period 1989-1995 a higher incidence in coniferous forests and, less important, in shrubs was observed. In the period 2007-2010 the incidence was higher in grassland areas. The analysis showed the important role that the artificial/forest interface plays in the fire occurrence, especially in 2007-2010 |
