Description

This report documents the creation of a geospatial dataset of wildfires that occurred in Italy over the period 2007-2022. The original wildfire data were provided by national and regional agencies. The dataset was standardized and went through several manual and automatic steps of data processing and quality control. While the dataset still presents some issues and limitations, it is a suitable product to carry out geospatial analyses of wildfires in Italy from 2007 to 2022. The geospatial dataset contains 106,978 fire records and a total burned area of 1,356,851 ha. The dataset described in this report is only available upon request due to legal restrictions.
