Marseille et l'environnement. Bilan, qualité et enjeux
Aix-Marseille Provence, grande métropole située sur les bords de la Méditerranée, révèle de multiples questions sociales et environnementales. Cet ouvrage vise à questionner les enjeux du développement durable d’une telle métropole littorale méditerranéenne face au défi du changement climatique. Sur la base des connaissances scientifiques rassemblées au sein du collectif de recherche du Laboratoire d’Excellence OT-Med, cet ouvrage présente, dans …
Wildfire management in Mediterranean-type regions
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…
Seasonal changes in the human alteration of fire regimes beyond the climate forcing
Human activities have altered fire regimes for millennia by suppressing or enhancing natural fire activity. However, whether these anthropogenic pressures on fire activity have exceeded and will surpass climate forcing still remains uncertain. We tested if, how and the extent to which seasonal fire activity in southern France has recently (1976-2009) deviated from climate-expected trends. The latter were simulated using an ensemble of detrended f…
Objective identification of multiple large fire climatologies
There is growing evidence that the climatic conditions favorable to the occurrence of large fires (LFs) might not be unique within a homogeneous biogeographic area. But the identification of these coexistent multi-scalar climatologies often relies on empirical observations. Here we classify summer LFs (>120 ha) in Mediterranean France for the period 1973 to 2012, according to their local-scale weather conditions (i.e. temperature, relative humidi…
