Forest fire vulnerability assessment is a potential way to improve the ability of forests to resist climate disasters and help formulate appropriate forest management countermeasures.2022-11-25T10:02+0100mdpi-52bc23784e8eb91db890f58b1d1bc28320221125100200https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4907/13/12/1988Forest fires are a type of disaster with both human and natural factors; they differ from other forest disasters, in that they can cause significant damage not only to the ecological environments but also to the economy and society in many irreversible ways.2022-11-24T15:42+0100mdpi-188ac5b740cc143f553a362a4884703c20221124154200https://euranetplus-inside.eu/turning-the-tide-on-water-wastage/Extreme weather events. Heat waves and droughts lead to water shortages and forest fires, while heavy rainfall can bring about flooding and mighty storms. Both weather extremes have devastating economic, social and even psychological impact on affected regions.2022-11-18T03:38+0100euranetplus-inside-9d8b641ef817c3a394bac624486190fa20221118033800https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4907/13/11/1939The occurrence and spread of forest fires are the result of the interaction of many factors. In cross-border areas, different fire management systems may lead to different forest fire driving factors. A comparative analysis of the forest fire driving factors in different countries can help to provide ideas for fire prevention and control.2022-11-17T13:48+0100mdpi-57a524bef444c26203d1c39a866a41e420221117134800
