Abstract

Wildfires are natural components of arid and semi-arid ecosystems, yet climate change is amplifying their intensity and frequency, posing serious threats to ecosystem services essential for human well-being. This study presents a novel approach to reduce risk and protect ecosystem services under threat from flammability and climate change. In this regard, ten ecosystem services (carbon sequestration, heritage, food crops, livestock rates, shelter function, recreation, water production, soil formation, soil conservation, and beekeeping) were mapped using field data, the InVEST model, and GIS-based spatial analysis. Flammability and climate change risk were quantified using plant functional traits and environmental indicators. The results showed that the degree of climate change risk, flammability, and vulnerability of ecosystem services differed significantly between different land covers (p
