The work on sand-binding and afforestation of Deliblato Sands was first organized in 1818. The sand-binding process lasted for nearly 100 years. One of the most serious problems in the protection of Deliblato Sands is present in the form of forest fires. Mass afforestation of the area with Austrian and Scots pines after the Second World War made the situation even more serious. In the period from 1948 to 2017, there were 267 forest fires recorded in this area, with the total burnt area of 11,943.21 ha (6,138.58 ha of forest area). The largest forest fire in this area was recorded in August 1996, when 3,815.4 ha burnt (2,235 ha of forest, 1,557.63 ha under the pines). Catastrophic fires were also recorded in 1973, 1990 and 2007. The most important physical-geographical factors that determine the origin and dynamics of forest fires in the area of Deliblato Sands are topography, hydrographic characteristics, soil composition, climate conditions, vegetation composition and the Sun activity. Fire protection should be based on prevention and correct selection of tree species (primarily broadleaved species) and silvicultural measures.
