Plantaciones forestales y su extensión hacia áreas urbanas en el área metropolitana de Valparaíso y su relación con el aumento de incendios forestales

Abstract: A partir de la década de los 70 en Chile central, la expansión de las plantaciones forestales ha sido una de las principales causas de la modificación del paisaje, siendo influenciada por los cambios de cobertura de la superficie terrestre. Considerando el contexto nacional de los incendios forestales que ocurrieron durante el verano de 2017, existe una opinión generalizada que la ocurrencia de estos eventos está relacionada con la proximidad y el acercamiento de las plantaciones a las áreas urbanas, especialm… Show more

“…This 10-fold increase in plantations motivated by public policy contrasts with the little attention paid to restoring native forests, which have historically contributed to the local population's livelihoods (Reyes and Nelson, 2014;Frene and Núñez, 2010), requiring that the rural and indigenous communities must compete for the use of the land against the plantations and inciting environmental conflicts (INDH, 2015). Concomitant with the plantation spread throughout the region, an increase in the recurrence and magnitude of fire disturbances in WUIs has been observed, due to the blurred border between land covers or the substitution of certain land use for others (Goldman, 2018;Ruiz et al, 2017). According to CONAF, over 35 × 10 6 ha of vegetation is vulnerable to fires, including grasslands and shrubland (20 × 10 6 ha), native forest (13×10 6 ha), and exotic plantations (2.1×10 6 ha) (Castillo et al, 2003;CONAF, 2018).…”

“…A Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and cold, wet winters characterizes this region (Sarricolea et al, 2020), with an average temperature of 12.4 • C and annual rainfall of 1332 mm, of which 70 % is concentrated between May and August (BCN, 2021). The CMA has one of the largest wildland-urban interfaces (WUIs) in the country (Ruiz et al, 2017).…”
