Abstract(s)

Understanding wildfire behavior at the landscape-level is critical to address wildfire impacts in Portuguese forest management planning. Thus, fire spread was simulated in three forested landscape to assist forest managers in identifying high-risk areas for actively integrating stand-level fuel treatments with explicit landscape-level management planning and develop fire prevention priorities. Specifically, several modeling applications to detect significant fire-landscape interactions between stand-level features and fire behavior were fitted to classify Portuguese forests to fire risk levels and create guidelines to support hazard-reduction silvicultural practice
