Combustibility

Creating less flammable landscapes would as much as halve the area expected to be affected by fire in the next 30 years

Using mathematical models, a joint Spanish and Portuguese study has shown that altering the landscape, so as to reduce vegetation density and combustibility for example, and promoting farming activities of high natural value would drastically reduce the amount of land damaged by fire.
