In recent weeks, we have become familiar with the unsettling technical vocabulary surrounding forest fires: firestorms, “zombie” fires, and pyrocumulonimbus clouds. Climatic conditions are becoming more extreme, and the incidence of fires is on the rise: in 2026 alone, Spain and France saw more than 300,000 hectares go up in...

Biotruf has recently joined the FIRE PRODUCT RESILIENT LANDSCAPE initiative, the complementary label to FIRE WINE that certifies other permanent crops for their role in active land management and wildfire risk reduction. BioTruf is a plantation of holm oak truffle trees located in Lladurs, near Pont del Clop (Ribera Salada)....

Landscape managers and planners must face new challenges related to climate change, particularly the increasing risk of forest fires. To address this situation, a practical guide has been developed to integrate fire prevention and mitigation into territorial and landscape planning.

Within the framework of the SOSVITI project (https://sosviti.egemap.eu/), which focuses on sustainable land management and resilience in viticulture, wildfires are a growing concern. This study presents a rapid method for assessing fire damage in vineyards using drone imagery and artificial intelligence. This method enables faster decision-making and more effective recovery...

However, this form of collective and solidarity‑based land management continues to exist in many countries—especially in mountain regions—and since the late 20th century it has been reconsidered as...

The Garraf Massif is one of the Mediterranean landscapes most severely affected by forest fires. The major fires of 1982 and 1994 drastically transformed the territory: much of the holm oak woodland disappeared, while garrigue, scrubland and highly flammable grasslands expanded. Added to this are the abandonment of farmland, the...
