In spite of all the efforts made in fire prevention and
suppression, every year about 45 000 forest fires occur in Europe,
burning ca. 0.5 million hectares of forests and other rural lands.
The management of these burned forests has been given much less
attention than fire prevention or fire suppression issues, but the
post-fire management of burned areas raises strong concerns
(economic and social impacts, soil erosion and water quality,
biodiversity loss, forest restoration). Although there are a few
publications which address post-fire management, the focus of these
has been either on general approaches to restoration or specific
topics such as preventing post-fire soil erosion. This book is
about the post-fire management of fire-prone forest types in
southern Europe. It provides the first comprehensive overview of
the topic, ranging from stand-level to landscape-level management,
and from emergency actions to long-term restoration approaches.
