Abstract
► The fuel type with open, low density structures is the most common in Pinus halepensis stands. ► Thinning from below and heavy thinning reduce active crown fire potential. ► Active crown fire risk decreases with increasing climate aridity and stoniness. ► There are large changes in fuel types after a recent wildfire and after thinning.
