The influence of natural factors upon the frequency and the intensity of forest fires in Suceava County

The paper identifies the natural factors, which act in the forests of Suceava County, and influence the risk of forest fire. In this respect, we performed a diagnosis in order to accurately determine the direction and the way in which the risk of fire is influenced. The work is based on data collected at the level of Suceava County. Thus, after a brief overview of the influence of natural factors upon the risk of forest fire, we treat them differently, according to the moment of their appearance, and the manifestation of the continuous or variable influence. The risk factors are presented and analyzed according to the physical size of the state parameters registered at the level of the county, according to their consequences upon the risk of fire in the mountain forests. Finally, the work examines the causal link between the action of the natural factors and the risk of forest fire in terms of fire frequency and intensity.
