- Description
This article aims to test the hypothesis that active land planning and management in Italy have mitigated wildfire impacts in terms of loss of ecosystem services and forest cover, and burned wildland-urban interface (from 2007 - 2017). The effect size of major potential fire drivers (climate, weather, flammability, socio-economic descriptors etc) at national level was also assessed.
