Dynamics of Habitat-Forest Interface Zones

By Marl?ne Long-Fournel and Marielle Jappiot

Irstea has developed a mapping method of the habitat-forestinterface areas based on remote sensing data and spatial analysisdata. These areas are important in terms of forest fire danger, because this is where we can find both the causes of fire outbreaksand the vulnerable area exposed to fire. This work has allowed usto define types of interfaces. There are very little data figuresabout the surfaces occupied by these interfaces and even less dataabout their dynamics throughout time. We propose to detail anapproach about the Bouches du Rh ne and Haute Corse and to seethe evolution over the past ten years. This leads to indicationsfor administrators about rapidly changing zones.
