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
