One of the main forces that modify these territories is the occurrence of wildfires, being the Mediterranean ecosystems increasingly vulnerable to fire hazards in a context of climate change (Bajocco & Ricotta, 2008; Carmona, Gonzalez, Nahuelhual, & Silva, 2012; Gill, Stephens, & Cary, 2013; Salis, Ager, Finney, Arca, & Spano, 2014; Darques, 2015; Levin, Tessler, Smith, & McAlpine, 2016).

This is especially relevant when the wildfire had a low burn intensity, in sites that are close to urban or agricultural areas (Bajocco & Ricotta, 2008), and where there is intense propagation of annual herbs that become dry vegetation in the summer (Luebert & Pliscoff, 2017).

2003), little work has been done on the relationship between land-use types, human pressure and wildfire seasonality (Bajocco et al., 2010; La Page et al., 2010).

According to Dimitrakopoulos (2011), and Bajocco and Ricotta (2008), the size of a fire's distribution during this period can be explained through a power-law over many orders of magnitude, where more than 80% of fires are less than 1 hectare in size and less than 1% of fires are larger than 100 hectares.

On the contrary, in rural areas with low population density, fires are mainly shaped by the spatial variation of fuel (Bajocco and Ricotta 2008), which is in turn linked to soil, climate and landscape composition (e.g., mainly physical and vegetation features).
