Portugal continues to be one of the countries hardest hit by the current heat wave across western Europe. Andre Luis Alves/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images In an effort to save their lives, some people and animals are being evacuated. The fire is currently close to a petrol station. In light of the heightened risk, the country’s “state of alarm” is set to be extended until Sunday, Costa added.Ī member of the armed forces walks near a forest fire in Palmela, Portugal on July 13. Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa told reporters that Thursday is set to be the “most serious day” for Portugal as far as the extreme weather is concerned, warning that the country needs “to be more careful than ever to avoid new occurrences.”Įight out of the country’s 18 mainland districts have been placed under a red weather warning by the Portuguese Institute for the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA). In its afternoon update, AEMET warned that Spain is set to experience its hottest day of the heat wave on Thursday. Temperatures are set to reach around 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit) in parts of western and southern Spain, according to AEMET. Officials in Spain and Portugal are bracing themselves for the hottest day of the heat wave so far.

Underlying GIS data are available for download from EFI website after short registration.įigure 1: Aggregated results showing the dominant species at 1x1kmĪ user should realise that for some countries, at the national level, more accurate maps are available from the national forest inventories (NFI). Figure 1 demonstrates the aggregated results. For more details please refer to Brus et al. The predictions for the twenty tree species were validated using 230 plot data separated from the calibration. The regression results were iteratively scaled to fit NUTS-II forest inventory statistics and the European Forest Map (Tröltzsch et al. For the rest of Europe a multinomial logistic regression model was fitted to ICP-level-I plots using various abiotic factors as predictors (soil, biogeographical zones, bioindicators derived from temperature and precipitation data). In areas with national forest inventory data, area proportions covered by the 20 species were obtained by compositional kriging. 2011).īasic dendrometric data were gathered for 260,000 national forest inventory plot locations from 17 countries (Nabuurs 2009). In cooperation with EFI, Alterra / Wageningen University and Research Centre has released a set of 1x1 km tree species maps showing the distribution of 20 tree species over Europe (Brus et al.
