Relationship between economic development, forest resources, and forest fires: European context by Olena Dobrovolska, Knut Schmidtke, Viktoriia Hnatushenko, Svitlana Sytnyk, Iryna Dmytriieva

“…Studying the dynamics of forest cover indicators (the share of forests in the total area of the country and forest area per capita), weighted within the internationally recognized regions of Europe, it is confirmed that the level of forest cover of European countries is gradually increasing. The analysis of forest fire area maps identifies three main groups by the level of vulnerability to forest fires: safe (Northern European countries), conditionally safe (Western European countries), and dangerous (Eastern and Southern European countries).Denmark, Finland, France, Norway, and Finland show a direct correlation between the level of forest cover of a country’s territory and gross domestic product. …”
