Abstract

Fire season in the Mediterranean bioclimatic area is most associated with the period from June to late October. Despite this, a large number of fires occur in February and March due to the intentional burning of agricultural lands. A characteristic of the Mediterranean region is the strong adaptation of vegetation to fire, though this adaptation also depends on the frequency and intensity of fires. This frequency is shown on satellite images via MODIS. This paper provides an overview of indicators of vegetation fires in the Croatian coast and karst coastal belt in the 2020 fire season. The 2020 fire season was above average in comparison with the period 2010 to 2019, with more fires than average and more burnt area. A specificity of the 2020 season is seen in the large number of fires in February and March. Fire protection in Croatia is facilitated by the use of new remote sensing technologies, in combination with the existing surveillance and monitoring methods, and organised protection systems to prevent open fires.

克罗地亚亚得里亚海地中海生物气候带2020年火灾季节分析

地中海生物气候带的火灾季节与6月至10月下旬最为相关。尽管如此，由于故意焚烧农田，2月和3月发生了大量火灾。地中海地区的一个特点是植被对火灾的强烈适应，尽管这种适应也取决于火灾的频率和强度。这个频率是通过MODIS卫星图像显示的。本文对2020年克罗地亚海岸和喀斯特海岸带植被火灾指标进行了综述。与2010年至2019年期间相比，2020年的火灾季节高于平均水平，火灾数量超过平均水平，烧伤面积也超过平均水平。2020年季节的一个特点是2月和3月发生了大量火灾。利用新的遥感技术，结合现有的监视和监测方法，以及有组织的防止明火的保护系统，促进了克罗地亚的消防工作。

期刊介绍： The primary aim of the SEEFOR journal is to publish original, novel and quality articles and thus contribute to the development of scientific, research, operational and other activities in the field of forestry. Besides scientific, the objectives of the SEEFOR are educational and informative as well. SEEFOR should stimulate intensive professional and academic work, teaching, as well as physical cooperation of institutions and interdisciplinary collaboration, a faster ascendance and affirmation of young scientific personnel. SEEFOR should contribute to the stronger cooperation between the science, practice and society, and to the overall dissemination of the forestry way-of thinking. The scope of the journal’s interests encompasses all ecological, economical, technical, technological, social and other aspects of forestry and wood technology. The journal is open for publishing research from all geographical zones and study locations, whether they are conducted in natural forests, plantations or urban environments, as long as methods used in the research and obtained results are of high interest and importance to South-east European and international forestry.
