Table 3 Scenarios’ description and calculated overall emission reductions for all simulated countries.

From: Prescribed burning as a cost-effective way to address climate change and forest management in Mediterranean countries

Scenarios

Calculated overall emission reductions

I – 2% of the annually burned area treated by prescribed fire, assuming 1 ha decrease in the area burned by wildfire for each treated ha

1%

II – 2% of the annually burned area treated by prescribed fire, assuming 3 ha decrease in the area burned by wildfire for each treated ha

5%

III – 20% of the annually burned area treated by prescribed fire, assuming 1 ha decrease in the area burned by wildfire for each treated ha

13%

IV – 20% of the annually burned area treated by prescribed fire, assuming 3 ha decrease in the area burned by wildfire for each treated ha

52%
