Fire effects on ecosystems

Abstract Post‐fire erosion in Mediterranean environments often persists beyond the first year after burning, yet most assessments focus on short‐term responses. This study examines how soil erodibility changes over three post‐fire years in a limestone‐dominated microbasin in southwestern Türkiye. It evaluates whether…

In Türkiye, fossil fuels have a 90% sharein total primary energy consumption, while 80% of fossil fuel consumption ismet through imports. This amount, which is a clear indicator of the externaldependence of Türkiye in terms of energy, can be reduced by utilizing localresources. Therefore, using waste wood material, on…

Forest fires have devastating effects on ecosystem balance and biodiversity worldwide. They are also a problem that causes serious social and economic damage. Therefore, early detection and intervention of fires are crucial. This study presents a model for the high-performance detection and classification of forest fi…

The rapid and accurate detection of the effects of fires threatening forest ecosystems in the Mediterranean basin is of vital importance for post-fire rehabilitation processes. In this study, the intensity of forest fires that occurred in Mersin-Silifke in 2025 was analyzed using Sentinel-2 satellite data and a multis…

Global climate change exerts significant pressure on natural ecosystems through rising temperatures, irregular precipitation patterns, and increasing drought frequency. These conditions create more favorable environments for forest fires by reducing fuel moisture and extending the fire season. This study examines vege…

Extreme wildfire events are increasingly shaping Mediterranean fire regimes under the combined influence of climatic variability, vegetation stress, and growing anthropogenic pressure, posing critical risks to ecosystem stability and landscape resilience. Understanding the spatial determinants of wildfire susceptibili…

Forest fires are among the most significant threats to ecosystems, biodiversity, and environmental sustainability; therefore, early fire detection is a critical component of effective forest fire management. Traditional fire detection methods, including ground patrols, fire observation towers, and satellite imagery, o…

Today, global warming and sudden increase in seasonal temperatures cause forest fires. It is necessary to locate fire stations that can offer effective use in forest fires, since their accessibility is difficult and requires urgent intervention. There are many positional factors that need to be considered in the insta…

ABSTRACT With the peak of the wildfire season in North America typically occurring during the core part of fall bird migration, migratory birds are likely to be increasingly impacted by worsening wildfire seasons during their southerly movements. In this study, we combined two approaches to assess the impact of wildfi…

Abstract Aegean and Mediterranean countries have been experiencing many forest fires which caused extensive ecological damage and posed significant risks to habitants in recent years due to extreme temperature anomalies. Post-fire analyses are essential for rapidly assessing wildfire impacts and informing future mitig…

Understanding wildfire dynamics and their climatic and topographic drivers is essential for effective fire management in Southeastern Europe. This study presents the first long-term assessment of wildfire trends across different land-cover types in Bulgaria, providing a methodological framework that is applicable acro…
