Abstract:

 Moroccan forests are subject to various degradation factors, among which fires represent a constant threat to forest ecosystems. In response to this scourge, mapping forest fire risk areas has become a major concern. The present study aims to assess the fire sensitivity of the Jbel Outka forest. The proposed method is based on the Dargan model, which defines the forest fire risk index according to several contributing factors. This method relies on the integration of Earth observation data with other cartographic sources within a GIS environment. The use of a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) will be employed to generate slope and aspect maps. These data are integrated into a GIS, which facilitates the combination and analysis of different information layers. The results show that forest formations located at low and mid-altitudes are sensitive to fire due to the accumulation of significant fuel load. The cork oak forest that develops at high altitudes is moderately sensitive to fire due to the reduction of undergrowth caused by the cold mountain climate.
