Large-Fire Ignitions Are Higher in Protected Areas than Outside Them in West-Central Spain
Fire, 2023 Managing protected areas requires knowing what factors control fire ignitions and how likely they are compared to non-protected ones. Here, we modelled fire ignition likelihood in west-central Spain as a function of biophysical and anthropogenic ...

Fire in Semi-Arid Shrublands and Woodlands: Spatial and Temporal Patterns in an Australian Landscape
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Semi-arid landscapes are of interest to fire ecologists because they are generally located in the climatic transition zone between arid lands (where fires tend to be rare due to lack of fuel, but are enhanced following large rainfall episodes) and more ...

Fire and Its Interactions With Other Drivers Shape a Distinctive, Semi-Arid ‘Mallee’ Ecosystem
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Fire shapes ecosystems globally, including semi-arid ecosystems. In Australia, semi-arid ‘mallee’ ecosystems occur primarily across the southern part of the continent, forming an interface between the arid interior and temperate south.

Assessment of fire hazard in Southwestern Amazon
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 Fires are among the main drivers of forest degradation in Amazonia, causing multiple socioeconomic and environmental damages. Although human-ignited sources account for most of the fire events in Amazonia, extended droughts may magnify their occurrence ...
