Forest fires in Mexico: An approach to estimate fire probabilities


Por: Galvan, Luis, Magaña V.

Publicada: 1 ene 2020 Ahead of Print: 1 ene 2020
Resumen:
The probabilities of forest fires in Mexico are estimated using information on precipitation and temperature, along with data on type of vegetation, human activities near forests and fire prevention policies. The proposed model addresses the factors that account for extreme wildfire hazard, and may provide a basis for fire prevention actions, reducing vulnerability factors. © 2020 IAWF.
