Global and Regional Trends and Drivers of Fire Under Climate Change [PDF]
Reviews of Geophysics, 2022 AbstractRecent wildfire outbreaks around the world have prompted concern that climate change is increasing fire incidence, threatening human livelihood and biodiversity, and perpetuating climate change. Here, we review current understanding of the impacts of climate change on fire weather (weather conditions conducive to the ignition and spread of ...

The dynamics and drivers of fuel and fire in the Portuguese public forest [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Management, 2014 The assumption that increased wildfire incidence in the Mediterranean Basin during the last decades is an outcome of changes in land use warrants an objective analysis. In this study we examine how annual area burned (BA) in the Portuguese public forest varied in relation to environmental and human-influenced drivers during the 1943-2011 period.
