Cover Story: The wildland–urban interface has gained the attention of researchers and managers due to its associated fire risk. From a land management perspective, it is important to identify these areas for fire risk prevention and to know which mitigation measures to apply. This systematic review examined published literature to gather definitions of the interface and physical risk mitigation measures. Concepts, terms, and methods used for definitions varied with the research objective. Five categories of measures were identified (clearance distances, landscaping, wildland fuels, land planning, building construction), with maintenance and design playing a substantial role in risk mitigation. The number of studies on the topic is considerable but experimental outcomes are scarce. For future use of the concept of the interface, better coordination among research groups and land managers is advised. View this paper
