A model for wildfire prevention planning in game resources

摘要: The high incidence of hunting activity and forest fires in different ecosystems (particularly Mediterranean ecosystems) requires a model, which allows for the comprehensive management resources estimating potential damage caused by this type disturbance. This paper proposes model evaluating socio-economic effects on hunting. Its cornerstone lies resource availability each ecosystem within its territorial mosaic. Each game unit (GMU) is identified vegetation structure habitat type. It presents novel approach economic value linked to fire damages. effect has an entire depends intensity flames.
