Climate change means the risk of forest fires will skyrocket in Mediterranean Europe in the coming decades, according to a recent study. Existing fire prevention measures will be inadequate, so a change of strategy will be needed. The University of Barcelona study analysed a number of models related to summer burning areas (BA) and the climate indicators linked to them. Its researchers concluded that “the direct effect of climate change in regulating fuel moisture (e.g., warmer conditions increasing fuel dryness) could be counterbalanced by the indirect effects on fuel structure (e.g., warmer conditions limiting fuel amount), affecting the transition between climate-driven and fuel-limited fire regimes as temperatures increase.” Accordingly, the risk of forest fires will increase but the effects of climate change on areas prone to burning are not always clear.
