Desarrollo de la vegetación y periodicidad de incendios forestales

Abstract

In the Spanish district of VaIencia an average of 15.000 Ha of vegetation are burned out every year. This actually accounts for ca. 4% of the provine's forest resources in spite of the very strong efforts being made in order to both prevent forest fires and lower in size the burned out areas. Under these circumstances, the questions which would normally be made as to the reasons for the no decrese in the affected areas are: Are there insuficient extinguishing means to be blamed for this problem? Are there more o less variable weather conditions prone to bnng about the fires? 1s it that the vegetation of the province (which in fact is the resource destroyed by fire) is exhibiting such a degree of flammability or burnability that renders the catastrophic fires unavoidable? The above are the reasons whch we are planning to look into and consider in detail in order to better understand bosh the forest fire evolution and the factors involved in such a natural element as fire, which in fact is shaping the vegetation of Mediterranean ecosystems.

Cada año se queman en la provincia de Valencia una media de 15.000 hectáreas de vegetación, aproximadamente un 4% de sus recursos forestales, a pesar de los grandes esfuerzos que se realizan para prevenir los incendios forestales y para reducir las superficies quemadas. Cabe preguntarse cuáles son las razones de que estas superficies no disminuyan: ¿Se debe a insuficientes medios de extinción'? ¿Son las condiciones meteorológicas más o menos variables las que provocan que aparezcan los incendios? ¿Es que la vegetación (que en definitiva, es la que se quema) tiene tal nivel de inflamabilidad o de combustibilidad que los incendios catastróficos resultan inevitables? Son éstas las razones que se intentan analizar y estudiar para comprender mejor el fenómeno de la aparición de los incendios forestales y juzgar de manera imparcial los factores que intervienen en este elemento natural que es el fuego, que modela la vegetación de los ecosistemas mediterráneos.
