The Relationship between wildfire areas and physiographic features in the Zagros vegetation area, Kermanshah province

Spatial and temporal monitoring of wildfires in Golestan province using remote sensing data

“…As a result, the effect of reducing relative humidity is minimized (Dashti et al, 2021). On the other hand, the location of residential areas and the concentration of population and the proximity of agricultural lands and the spread of intentional wildfires created in agricultural lands in these altitude classes, and the easy access of tourists and hunters to these altitude classes are among other reasons for wildfires in these altitude classes (Gholamrezaei et al, 2022;Mirdeilami et al, 2014). In higher altitude classes, precipitation and relative humidity are high, and the average temperature is low.…”

“…Also, the highest frequency of wildfire occurrences in forest lands was related to the 15-25-degree slope layer and then the 25-35 degrees slope layer, so on average, 44 and 25.1 percent of wildfires in forest lands have occurred in these slope classes. Gholamrezaei et al (2022), in their research on the occurrence of wildfire in the forests of Kermanshah province, concluded that the highest rate of forest wildfire occurs in the 15-30% slope class and the reason for this it can be said that the presence of wooded pastures in this slope layer creates a suitable perspective for attracting more tourists and as a result increases the risk of wildfire starting and spreading.…”
