The forest fire regime in Latvia during 1922–2014
Silva Fennica, 2017 Fire as disturbance of forests has an important ecological and economical role in boreal and hemiboreal forests. The occurrence of forest fires is both climatically and anthropogenically determined and shifts in fire regimes are expected due to climate ...

Peatland wetness as an indicator of fire occurrence in forest and land fires (FLFs)
Journal of Earth KingdomBackground: Peatland ecosystems play an important role in the hydrological cycle and carbon cycling. In Indonesia, peatlands store about 28.6 gigatonnes of carbon which is equivalent to 10 years of global fossil fuel emissions. Peatlands act as a water storage during wet seasons and slowly release water during dry seasons to maintain river discharges ...

A stochastic fire spread model for north Patagonia based on fire occurrence maps
Ecological Modelling, 2015 Abstract Understanding fire spread in different ecosystems is of fundamental importance for conservation, management and anticipating the effects of environmental changes. Tailoring existing fire spread models to particular landscapes is challenging because it demands a substantial data collection effort.

Accounting for fuel in fire danger forecasts: the fire occurrence probability index (FOPI)
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Abstract A new fire danger index is proposed to overcome one of the most important limitations of current fire danger metrics. The fire occurrence probability index (FOPI) combines the Canadian fire weather index (FWI) with remote observations of vegetation characteristics to better predict landscape flammability. The FOPI is designed to

Human-caused fire occurrence modelling in perspective: a review [PDF]
International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2017 The increasing global concern about wildfires, mostly caused by people, has triggered the development of human-caused fire occurrence models in many countries. The premise is that better knowledge of the underlying factors is critical for many fire management purposes, such as operational decision-making in suppression and strategic prevention planning,
