Recent climate change: Rethinking drought in the context of Forest Fire Research in Ticino, South of Switzerland
Michael Reinhard, Martine Rebetez & Rodolphe Schlaepfer
| Résumé |
We analyse trends over the past 32 years in drought variables in the
context of forest fire research and climate change in Ticino,
Southern Switzerland. January to April and in particular the month
of March have become drier. This is the time of the year when
forest fires are most frequent. Our results show an increasing
trend in all climatic variables favourable to drought and forest
fires, including the length of episodes without precipitation,
sunshine duration and temperature, and a decrease in relative
humidity. The only exception is the number of "foehn" days, which
have not significantly increased. |
