Wildfires are responsible for alterations in biodiversity, soil degradation, climate changes and put risk to human beings. In the last years, greenhouse gasses achieved an alarming rate in the atmosphere. Deforestation is the second largest anthropogenic cause of this increase and wildfires are one of the main methods. Observing this scenario, researchers have been conducting studies that…
Wildfires are part of a complex system formed by climate, vegetation, and human factors. The fire changes the vegetation and soil, destroys buildings, affects the biodiversity, and influences human activities.
