A Fire Regime Zoning System for China
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021 Understanding fire regimes is central to fire management. In our study, we analyzed the fire weather and forest fire regime of China using fire data from satellite remote sensing and statistics from 2000 to 2020.

PLoS ONE, 2019 Fire regime shifts are driven by climate and natural vegetation changes, but can be strongly affected by human land management. Yet, it is poorly known how humans have influenced fire regimes prior to active wildfire suppression. Among the last 250 years,

Co-evolution of wildfires and early Sphagnum-peatlands near the Cretaceous South Pole [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentPeatlands are important global carbon sinks but face increasing fire vulnerability under projected warmer and CO2-rich climate conditions. Past high-CO2 periods in Earth’s history serve as an important prospect to improve our understanding of fire regime

Rethinking fire‐adapted species in an altered fire regime [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2020 Novel combinations of fire regime and forest type are emerging in areas affected by climate change, fire exclusion, and other stressors. Species interactions following wildfire in these areas are not well understood.

Fire regime of peatlands in the Angolan Highlands. [PDF]
Environ Monit Assess, 2022 The Angolan Highlands region includes the Angolan miombo woodland ecoregion which supports miombo woodland, grasslands, subsistence agricultural land, and peatland deposits. Extensive fires, slash and burn agriculture, peat fuel extraction, and peatland drainage are among the anthropogenic practices that threaten these peatland deposits.

Thermal Characteristics of Epoxy Fire-Retardant Coatings under Different Fire Regimes
Fire, 2023 Different systems of fire protection coatings are used to protect the metal structures of stories and trestles at oil and gas facilities from low (when filling cryogenic liquids) and high temperatures (in case of the possible development of a hydrocarbon

Climatic and Landscape Influences on Fire Regimes from 1984 to 2010 in the Western United States. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 An improved understanding of the relative influences of climatic and landscape controls on multiple fire regime components is needed to enhance our understanding of modern fire regimes and how they will respond to future environmental change.

Fire activity and severity in the western US vary along proxy gradients representing fuel amount and fuel moisture. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Numerous theoretical and empirical studies have shown that wildfire activity (e.g., area burned) at regional to global scales may be limited at the extremes of environmental gradients such as productivity or moisture.
