Increased aridity impacts forest ecosystems . Increasing heat waves, combined with drought and land use change, reduce fuel moisture, thereby increasing fire risk, extending the duration of fire seasons and increasing the likelihood of large, severe fires  . Fires impact vegetation recovery after abandonment, thus transforming landscapes . At warming levels of 1.5℃, 2°C and 3ºC, burnt area in Mediterranean Europe could increase by 40-54%, 62-87% and 96-187%, respectively , although changes are highly site dependent and also affected by management .
