Runoff. Wildfire analysis and landscape values of the Montnegre i Corredor mountain ranges

The project is about landscape planning, management, and transformation in the Montnegre-el Corredor mountain, in Catalonia, through the study of the dynamics of the landscape and its values for achieving a transformation proposal for the reactivation of the territory and adaptation to the new scenario of global climate change. The Montnegre-el Corredor mountain has never been burned, because of that, it is now in a situation of special vulnerability in facing sixth-generation fires that we will deal with, in the following years, especially in a Mediterranean climate like ours, where we already perceive the rise in temperatures, the long periods of drought in summer, and the water stress suffered by mature and densified forests due to the gradual abandonment of forest exploitation and rural life. What we have is a mountain full of fuel and is waiting for the spark to burn whole, as its landscape is now structured. For this reason, the agents and values of the local landscape are studied, capable of reactivating and transforming the territory and returning it to a landscape structure in the form of an agroforestry mosaic, more resilient against major disturbances. The proposal tries to provide tools, in this case in particular, in the form of ponds, to be able to generate and maintain an agroforestry mosaic and also have water reserves, either to extinguish fires, to diversify crops or for fauna well-being.
