Biophysical drivers of fire regimes in Central Portugal

2022
The concept of fire regime is crucial for understanding how wildfires and their effects vary across space and time. We differentiate fire regimes within a regional-sized study area in central Portugal, and then investigate the degree to which their differences are influenced by a set of biophysical drivers. Using civil parishes as units of analysis, we

Spatiotemporal patterns of burned areas, fire drivers, and fire probability across the equatorial Andes

Journal of Mountain Science, 2021
Field-based fire studies in the equatorial Andes indicate that fires are strongly associated with biophysical and anthropogenic variables. However, fire controls and fire regimes at the regional scale remain undocumented. Therefore, this paper describes spatial and temporal burned-area patterns, identifies biophysical and anthropogenic fire drivers ...

Synoptic-scale drivers of fire weather in Greece

Science of The Total Environment
The identification of the large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns which are associated with extreme fire weather is of great importance for developing early warning systems, management strategies, and for increasing awareness and preparedness of all the involved entities, including both the public and practitioners.

Modeling the Landscape Drivers of Fire Recurrence in Sardinia (Italy)

Environmental Management, 2014
Although recurrent fire events with very short return periods have the most dangerous effects on landscape degradation, only a few papers have explored the landscape ecological factors that drive the probability of fire recurrence. In this paper we apply a habitat suitability model for analyzing the spatial relationship between a selected set of ...

Understanding drivers of fire risk with people experiencing homelessness

Burns
Fire hazards affecting people who are unhoused span natural and built environments, social circumstances, and human behavior. Identifying key drivers of fire risk and burn injury can inform injury prevention and control initiatives. We conducted 12 key informant interviews with burn patients who were unhoused.

Local lithological drivers of post‐fire vegetation recovery and implications for fire‐prone regions

Ecological Research, 2016
Abstract Local ecosystem resilience to fire disturbance can be influenced by multiple factors, from topography and climate, to fire history and pre‐fire structure of biotic communities. Here we investigated the factors affecting post‐fire recovery of scrub vegetation in areas under Mediterranean climate affected by frequent fires.

Fire and whitebark pine recovery strategies: drivers of post-fire natural regeneration

2018
Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis Engelmann), a tree species of high elevation forests in western North America, is listed as an endangered species in Canada. Prescribed burns have been employed by conservation agencies as a recovery strategy to create open habitats free of competition and to increase regeneration opportunities.

Ecohydrological Drivers of Boreal Shield Peatland Fire Refugia

Ecohydrology
ABSTRACTBoreal peatlands play an important role in the global carbon cycle and can provide extensive buffering against climate change by acting as fire refugia. As wildfire extent, frequency and severity increase under climate change, it is critical to identify the characteristics and drivers of boreal peatland fire refugia in different hydroclimatic ...

Causal Analysis of Fire Regime Drivers in California

International Journal of Wildland Fire
Background.Understanding the relative contribution of climate and human factors on wildfires is critical for managing risk across California’s diverse ecosystems. Aims. We propose a model that distinguishes between proximal and ultimate drivers of fire regimes and apply it to a century of fire and climate data to assess regional variation in causal ...
