Fire impacts and management
- Submission status
- Open
- Submission deadline
Wildfires are essential for maintaining ecological balance, but they can also cause serious damage to ecosystems and wildlife. Fires release large amounts of carbon dioxide and organic and inorganic aerosol particles into the atmosphere, affecting air quality and ultimately human health. Community preparedness and effective fire management are therefore essential to minimize ecological, human and material impacts and losses, and require a comprehensive approach that takes into account both natural processes and human activities.
In this cross-journal Collection, we invite articles that document the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of fire, assess advances in fire prevention and protection, and propose new pathways for fire management.
