Wildland fires are becoming one of the most critical
environmental factors affecting a wide range of ecosystems
worldwide. In Mediterranean ecosystems (including also
South-Africa, California, parts of Chile and Australia), wildland
fires are recurrent phenomena every summer, following the seasonal
drought. As a result of changes in traditional land use practices,
and the impact of recent climate warming, fires have more negative
impacts in the last years, threatening lives, socio-economic and
ecological values. The book describes the ecological context of
fires in the Mediterranean ecosystems, and provides methods to
observe fire danger conditions and fire impacts using Earth
Observation and Geographic Information System technologies.
