    <description descriptionType="Abstract">Wildfires are the most common disturbances in Mediterranean forest ecosystems that cause significant
			emissions of greenhouse gases as a result of biomass burning. Despite this, there is reasonably high uncertainty regarding
			the actual fraction of burnt biomass and the related CO2 and non-CO2 gas emissions released during forest fires. The aim of
			this paper is to compare existing methodologies adopted in the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory reports of five of the
			most fire-affected countries of southern Europe (Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, France) with those proposed in the
			literature, to operationally estimate forest fire emissions, and to discuss current perspectives on reducing uncertainties in
			reporting activities for the Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry sector under the United Nations Framework
			Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol. Five selected approaches have been experimentally applied for the
			estimation of burnt biomass in forest fire events that occurred in Italy in the period 2008–2010. Approaches based on
			nominal rates of biomass loss can lead to an overly conservative value or, conversely, to underestimation of the fraction of
			burnt biomass. Uncertainties can be greatly reduced by an operational method able to assess inter-annual and local
			variability of fire effects on fire-affected forest types.
