The article assesses the changes in the state of Ukraine’s natural environment, namely due to the fire on its territories as a result of military operations. Remote sensing can be considered as a decision support tool for landscape management, remote sensing plays a vital operational tool in the affected areas to assess the consequences, as well as...
Z razvojem avtocestnega omrežja v Republiki Sloveniji je bilo za premostitev razgibanega geografskega terena zgrajeno večje število avtocestnih predorov (Suban, 2016). Problem predorov je, da zaprt prostor povečuje posledice trkov in posledice požarov. S tem omejuje dostopnost do kraja nesreče, kar ovira pomoč reševalnih služb in samoreševanje. Za ...

Protected Areas (PA) in Brazil have legal instruments for the conservation and protection of fauna and flora. The Sustainable Use Reserves (SURs) category have mechanisms to ensure the security of traditional lifestyles. Despite the existence of mechanisms and information that contribute to the protection of forest areas, threats to its conservatio...

Vegetation fires are most common in South/Southeast Asian countries (S/SEA). Characterizing the statistical nature of long-term fire datasets can provide valuable information on fire management. Specifically, distinguishing random noise from correlated noise in long-term signals is critical for linking with the underlying processes. Fractal methods...
Climate change affects the hydrological regimes of rivers. The water recession in times of drought negatively transform the wetlands. The structural and functional alteration that they produce in them mainly modifies the plant productivity and soils, and this is aggravated when fires occur. For the years 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2022, the water coverag...
In her fiction, And the Birds Rained Down (Il pleuvait des oiseaux, XYZ, 2011), Jocelyne Saucier, French-Canadian writer, narrates history of the huge forest fires that took place in the beginning of the 20th Century in the province of Ontario. Coming from the center to the periphery of this woods and seemingly forgotten history, two women, a photo...

The usage of remote sensing data for tracking or monitoring war conflicts is a reality nowadays. The Russian invasion in Ukraine seriously impacted on the environment of the attacked country in all areas: air, soil, water, flora and fauna. The war has created a massive increase in air pollution in some regions of Ukraine, and might have effect in n...

There is a concern that environmental threats that result in local biodiversity loss compromise traditional peoples’ livelihoods and their traditional ecological knowledge (TEK). Nonetheless, studies usually only analyze how people’s characteristics influence TEK. Here, we investigated both: how the personal characteristics of local specialists (fo...

Agent-based models have been developed and widely employed to assess the impact of disturbances or conservation management on animal habitat use, population development, and viability. However, the direct impacts of canopy disturbance on the arboreal movement of individual primates have been less studied. Such impacts could shed light on the cascad...
