Abstract
The “Forest Fires Prediction and Detection” edition highlights the importance of research on fires worldwide. In recent years, the increased frequency of fires caused by climate change has rendered the planet uninhabitable. Several works have been prepared and published in an effort to raise awareness among civil society and government bodies about the importance of developing new technologies for monitoring areas prone to mega-fires. This special issue includes nine important works from various countries. The goal is to better understand the impacts on the world’s most diverse regions, ecosystems, and forest phytophysiognomies. New geotechnologies and fire models were used, both of which are important and could be used in the future to improve short- and long-term planning in firefighting.
