Abstract
⺠We reviewed landscape-wildfire relationships in Southern Europe. ⺠Recent land cover changes contributed to increase fire hazard in the last decades. ⺠Large wildfires are becoming more frequent. ⺠Increased fire frequency is creating landscapes covered by fire-prone shrublands. ⺠Landscape planning to reduce fire hazard works only if fire weather is not extreme.
