Wildfire management in Mediterranean-type regions
Open AccessFrancisco Moreira, Davide Ascoli et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019
During the last decades, climate and land use changes led to an increased prevalence of megafires in Mediterranean-type climate regions (MCRs). Here, we argue that current wildfire management policies in MCRs are destined to fail. Focused on fire suppression, these policies largely ignore ongoing climate warming and landscape-scale buildup of fuels. The result is a ‘firefighting trap’ that contributes to ongoing fuel accumulation precluding suppr…

Climate change impacts on hydrological services in southern California
Open AccessEmma C Underwood, Allan D Hollander et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018
Water availability is one of the most critical issues facing southern California. Consequently, the role and management of intact watersheds on public lands that supply water are paramount. We undertake the first regional study of climate impacts on hydrological services (runoff, recharge, and climatic water deficit) across the four national forests of southern California—the Angeles, Los Padres, Cleveland and San Bernardino. We assess the exposu…

Holocene vegetation and fire history of the Serra do Caparaó, SE Brazil
Open AccessNuno Veríssimo P, Hugh D Safford et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2012Cited by: 2References: 4
This study presents a recontruction of the Holocene vegetation and fire history of the Serra do Caparaó (Espírito Santo/Minas Gerais, SE Brazil) based on pollen and charcoal analysis from the 130 cm long core Primeiro Rancho I. Radiocarbon dates indicate a complete record of the Holocene (11,400 cal. yr BP to present). At the core site, high elevation grassland (campos de altitude) has been the dominant vegetation throughout the recorded period. …
