Future fires in Iberia

Ensembles of projected mean burned area (BA) for the period 1981-2075 in the four Iberian clusters. The solid line represents the mean of all 16
considered simulations. The upper dashed line represents the mean of the simulations that use fixed reference climatology, while the lower dashed
line represents the mean of the simulations using moving reference climatology. Darker and lighter shades represent ensemble uncertainties of the
previous simulations and where obtained using inter-quartiles. A 25-year moving average was applied to all series.

Future area burned (% change) in EUMED using SPEI index with increasing level of global warming based on
stationary (SM) or non-stationary (NSM) models and a suite of future climate simulations (RCM, ALL). From

Future fires in the Mediterranean

Changes in mean annual burned fraction (BF) in MPI-ESM-LR simulations related to present date. (a) Relative changes between future (2081–2100) and present date (1981–2000) in
experiments FUL_EFF (BFfuture/BFpresent-day 1); (b to d) Relative factorial effect (RFE, equation (1) and Table 2) for annual burned area fraction in future. Only significant changes (p <
0.05) are presented using Mann-Whitney U test. Areas with no change or nonsignificant change are in white. Areas with greater than 50% agricultural land were excluded (grey). From:

Conclusiones
• Los incendios son parte del Sistema Tierra, han modelado su vegetación
desde hace millones de años, incluyendo la nuestra
• Existe una estrecha relación entre el clima, la vegetación y los incendios. El
hombre interfiere sobre esta relación
• El calentamiento global incrementará los índices de peligro meteorológico,
al tiempo que causará otros efectos sobre la vegetación
• Un clima más severo implica mayor probabilidad de incendios, de más alta
intensidad y mayores tamaños
• Tenemos que construir una cultura del riesgo de incendio. La sociedad
española sigue sin estar preparada y espera que los incendios se apaguen
• Bajo las nuevas condiciones eso no será posible, por lo que urge actuar
sobre los paisajes, eliminando combustible y haciéndolos más resistentes al
fuego
