Is native forest an alternative to prevent wildfire in the WUI in Central
Portugal?
he expansion of the 2017 mega-fires in Portugal was observed to be locally halted
by native forest patches. Here we present spatial simulation scenarios of fire behaviour
to assess whether native forest cover mitigates fire spread during extreme wildfire
conditions in wildland-urban interface (WUI) areas around Industrial Zones (IZs). Our
results suggest that broadleaved forest cover can reduce fireline intensity and rate of
spread around IZs up to 20 and 8 times, respectively, on average. Thus, our results
support the need to discuss forest management in Portugal to better prevent WUI
fires.
