Several studies show that the incidence in fires decreases if you work together with scrub and trees.
With the arrival of summer and the intense heat, together with the drought that many areas of the country have experienced in recent months, the risk of forest fires increases considerably in Spain. A problem for which, year after year, solutions are sought by providing more and more means to fight fires or conducting studies to see how they can reduce the impact of them.
Javier Madrigal, researcher in Integrated Defense against Forest Fires at INIA, explains that after a study conducted in the Mediterranean basin, the reduction of fire risk is linked to the use of biomass. "If the risk of fire decreases by extracting biomass and the extraction of biomass can be used to obtain energy, then obtaining energy from the exploitation of forest biomass implies fire prevention", says Madrigal.
Having the forest clean and take advantage of this scrub biomass would be beneficial for two aspects: The use as biomass and the prevention of forest fires
