Fire Vulnerability and Prevention and Suppression Effectiveness under Ongoing Global Change

Dear Colleagues,

We hope that you and your friends and family are safe and well in these current times.

We are currently creating a Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, and we would like to invite you to submit your research. This Special Issue intends to outline the different perspectives and challenges that we face in the 21st century. The worldwide fire regime is essential in assessing fire vulnerability and the effectiveness of prevention and suppression activities. This Special Issue aims to cover, without being limited to, the following areas: fire risk and danger, fire behaviour, fire vulnerability (ecological, socioeconomic, etc.), fire impacts assessment (on vegetation, soil, atmosphere, etc.), wildfires in wildland urban interface, fire resilient ecosystems, wildfire suppression (tactics, effectiveness, etc.), and fire prevention treatments (shaded fuelbreak, mastication, prescribed fire, etc.) Papers from a multidisciplinary point of view are also welcomed.

Papers should be submitted no later than 31 July 2023. In order to manage your article submission, please let us know as soon as possible if you can participate in this Special Issue, by replying to this email. We look forward to hearing from you soon and working with you over the coming months.
