Map of the Burned area in August 2025 across the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula (NW-IP; orange), highlighting megafires (> 10,000 ha; red).

Scatterplot of monthly Buned Aarea versus Fire Weather Iindex in the NW Iberian Peninsula for 1985–2025.

$Plot of the burn selectivity in August 2025 for the NW-IP: black dots show the fraction of BA for each vegetation class. “Pinus” and “Quercus” include natural, semi-natural, naturalized and plantations of native species. The red triangles indicate the presence of each class in the study area (i.e., what fraction of that vegetation class would have burned if fires were equally affecting all vegetation classes). Black error bars are 95% confidence intervals estimated through a conservative leave-one-fire-out jackknife.$
