Summary:
Figure 13.5: Examples of prescribed burning in Europe: (a) in a Pinus pinaster stand in Soria (Northern Plateau), Spain, conducted by the Lubia BRIF (Reinforcement Brigade against Forest Fire) to reduce fuels; (b) in Cytisus oromediterraneus shrubland in the Eastern Pyrenees for habitat management, and where the presence of snow often implies fire patchiness and circumvents the need to prepare firebreaks; (c) in grass–heather in the Apennine Mountains of Italy to preserve Vaccinium myrtillus for fruit production; (d) in a young Pinus nigra plantation in northern Portugal with dense dry heathland to establish a fuel break and where high tree mortality is expected due to stand age; and (e) Pinus canariensis after underburning in Gran Canaria, Spain. This species is highly resistant to fire due to its thick bark and resprouting traits. (f) Prescribed fire can be challenging in Mediterranean shrubland types, such as Cistus ladanifer in southern Portugal, given the lack of elevated dead fuel. Back burning was used in all cases shown, except in the P. pinaster stand in Soria (a), where strip headfiring was used. Photographs taken by the authors: J. Madrigal (a), P. M. Fernandes (b, d, e), D. Ascoli (c) and N. G. Guiomar (f).
