Manage fire regimes, not fires
Nature Geoscience, 2021Globally, land- and fire-management policies have counterproductively caused cascading ecosystem changes that exacerbate, rather than mitigate, wildfires. Given rapidly changing climate and land-use conditions that amplify wildfire risk, a policy shift to adaptive management of fire regimes is urgently needed.

Fire Regimes, Fire Ecology, and Fire Management in Mexico
AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2008I propose several broad fire regimes and provide an analysis of fire ecology for the principal vegetation types in Mexico. Forty percent of Mexican ecosystems are fire-dependent (pine forests, several oak forests, grasslands, several shrublands, savannas, palm lands, wet prairies, "popal" and "tular" swamps), 50% are fire-sensitive (tropical rain ...

1996
Fire is widely used in the management of ecosystems world-wide, mainly because it is a relatively inexpensive option by which vegetation can be manipulated. For the price of a box of matches, literally, it is possible to subject thousands of hectares of vegetation to a powerful modifying force.

Forest fire management with Negoplan
1996The control of forest fires is a complex domain that requires a variety of knowledge and skills in decision making and planning under uncertainty. It poses a challenging problem for the design of simulation and support systems, and therefore acts as a good testbed for the application of intelligent system methodologies.

Forest Fires: Fire Management and the Power Law
2020Forest fires do not only destroy plants, animals, and structures, but also change the ecology of the habitat. While research of fire dynamics is a hot topic, there are many controversial issues in the field. Forest fires are commonly considered best examples for a scale-free, power-law distribution.

Fire management, made to measure
Science, 2017Ecology Ecosystems, and the species within them, respond to fire in a variety of ways that can affect how they recover. In a Perspective, Kelly and Brotons highlight recent studies of the relationship between fire and biodiversity in fire-prone ecosystems in North America and Australia.
