Ecological Processes, 2020 Background Wildfires play a key role in shaping Mediterranean landscapes and ecosystems and in impacting species dynamics. Numerous studies have investigated the wildfire occurrences and the influence of their drivers in many countries of the ...

The Proximal Drivers of Large Fires: A Pyrogeographic Study [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Variations in global patterns of burning and fire regimes are relatively well measured, however, the degree of influence of the complex suite of biophysical and human drivers of fire remains controversial and incompletely understood. Such an understanding is required in order to support current fire management and to predict the future trajectory of ...

Earth's Future, 2022 Fire regimes are influenced by both exogenous drivers (e.g., increases in atmospheric CO2 and climate change) and endogenous drivers (e.g., vegetation and soil/litter moisture), which constrain fuel loads and fuel aridity.

Modelling the drivers of natural fire activity: the bias created by cropland fires [PDF]
International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2017 Wildland and cropland fires, which differ considerably in fire regime characteristics, have often been evaluated jointly to estimate regional or global fire regimes using satellite-based fire activity data. We hypothesised that excluding cropland fires will change the output of the models regarding the drivers of natural fire activity.

History matters: previous land use changes determine post-fire vegetation recovery in forested Mediterranean landscapes [PDF]
, 2012 Land use changes and shifts in disturbance regimes (e.g. wildfires) are recognized worldwide as two of the major drivers of the current global change in terrestrial ecosystems.

The Drivers of Effectiveness of Prescribed Fire Treatment [PDF]
Forest Science, 2012 Prescribed burning for fuel reduction is a major strategy for reducing the risk from unplanned fire. Although there are theoretical studies suggesting that prescribed fire has a strong negative influence on the subsequent area of unplanned fire (so-called leverage), many empirical studies find a more modest influence.

Complex responses of birds to landscape‐level fire extent, fire severity and environmental drivers [PDF]
Diversity and Distributions, 2014 AbstractAimTo quantify bird responses to a large unplanned fire, taking into consideration landscape‐level fire severity and extent, pre‐fire site detection frequency and environmental gradients.LocationSouth‐easternAustralia.MethodsA major wildfire in 2009 coincided with a long‐term study of birds and provided a rare opportunity to quantify bird ...

Improving prediction and assessment of global fires using multilayer neural networks
Scientific Reports, 2021 Fires determine vegetation patterns, impact human societies, and are a part of complex feedbacks into the global climate system. Empirical and process-based models differ in their scale and mechanistic assumptions, giving divergent predictions of fire ...

Dominant Drivers of Seedling Establishment in a Fire-Dependent Obligate Seeder: Climate or Fire Regimes? [PDF]
Ecosystems, 2013 Climate change is causing fire regime shifts in ecosystems worldwide. Plant species with regeneration strategies strongly linked to a fire regime, such as obligate seeders, may be particularly threatened by these changes. It is unclear whether changes in fire regimes or the direct effects of climate change will be the dominant threats to obligate ...

Remote Sensing, 2023 Cambodia has the most fires per area in Southeast Asia, with fire activity have significantly increased since the early 2000s. Wildfire occurrences are multi-factorial in nature, and isolating the relative contribution of each driver remains a challenge.
