El manejo del fuego en Calakmul, Campeche: incendios forestales, gobernanza y variabilidad local de la precipitación

Farmers in Calakmul, Campeche, demonstrate a nuanced understanding of weather patterns and adapt their fire management practices to local precipitation variability. Research shows that successful agricultural burns—characterized by complete biomass combustion and controlled fire propagation—are influenced by dry and wet year conditions. By comparing farmers' practices with meteorological data, the study reveals how climate variability shapes fire governance strategies. This highlights the need for institutions tailored to local environmental conditions to effectively manage forest fires and support sustainable agriculture.
