| 要約: | Throughout the years we have seen a new reality in Portugal regarding large forest fires, since they have become increasingly important. Although large forest fires (LFFs) in Portugal represent a small fraction of the total of occurrences, in keeping with the trends of the Mediterranean Basin, they are responsible for a large percentage of burned area. In the last ten years, the largest forest fires in the Portuguese territory (mega-fires) have been recorded, and although they do not cover a larger percentage of LFFs there is more burned area, which means that, on average, each LFF burned more area when compared to the previous decades. On the one hand, this resulted in the reduction of the number of LFFs throughout the years ; on the other hand, there is an increase in the individual area of the larger “large fires”. |
