The conference Forest Fire Ecology and Restoration Strategies in Mountain Regions will bring together researchers, practitioners, land managers, and conservation specialists working on wildfire ecology, fire-risk management, ecological restoration, and biodiversity conservation in mountain environments.
Contributions may address Alpine fire regimes and wildfire behaviour, climate–fire interactions, fuel and vegetation dynamics, remote sensing and monitoring technologies, preventive silviculture, post-fire vegetation recovery, biodiversity conservation, and interactions between fire and invasive alien species.
The official language of the conference is English.
Accreditation for continuing education credits is foreseen.
