This Handbook of Good Practices in Post-wildfire Management is aimed at forest managers and workers, providing them with a guide on how to mitigate and avoid the negative impacts of salvage logging and enhance the resilience that is naturally present in forest ecosystems in the Mediterranean basin in the face of wildfires. The Handbook is divided in two main sections: first, an introduction to the fundamentals of post-fire forest management on which the recommendations are based, and then, the good practice recommendations for post-wildfire management. These recommendations are short descriptions of how forest works can be carried out to reduce their negative impact, at stand and plot level, covering immediate post-fire actions (emergency and stabilisation actions during the logging process within the first year after fire) and in the short term (rehabilitation 1 to 3 years after fire).
