Reexamining Fire Suppression Impacts on Brushland Fire Regimes
Science, 1999California shrubland wildfires are increasingly destructive, and it is widely held that the problem has been intensified by fire suppression, leading to larger, more intense wildfires. However, analysis of the California Statewide Fire History Database shows that, since 1910, fire frequency and area burned have not declined, and fire size has not ...

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 ...

HUMAN INFLUENCE ON CALIFORNIA FIRE REGIMES
Ecological Applications, 2007Periodic wildfire maintains the integrity and species composition of many ecosystems, including the mediterranean-climate shrublands of California. However, human activities alter natural fire regimes, which can lead to cascading ecological effects. Increased human ignitions at the wildland-urban interface (WUI) have recently gained attention, but fire

Socially Explicit Fire Regimes
Society & Natural Resources, 2008Fire regime classifications are established and proven tools that guide fire policy, management, and science. They summarize and organize complex information into a concise measure of the timing, intensity, and distribution of fire. The idea of fire regime deserves careful examination because it provides the guiding rationale for managing vast acreage.

A refinement of models projecting future Canadian fire regimes using homogeneous fire regime zones
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2014Broad-scale fire regime modelling is frequently based on large ecological and (or) administrative units. However, these units may not capture spatial heterogeneity in fire regimes and may thus lead to spatially inaccurate estimates of future fire activity.

Fire History and Fire Regimes Shifts in Patagonian Temperate Forests
2017Fire has been a frequent disturbance in Patagonia. The presence of charcoal in sedimentary records covering the last 44,000 years suggests that natural fires played a significant role in shaping the landscape before the arrival of Native Americans ca. 14,500–12,500 years ago.

FIRE REGIMES IN DRYLAND LANDSCAPES
2006Dryland regions are climatically defined as having low annual precipitation and dry season periods that can span over several months and take place once or twice a year. Dryland ecosystems (e.g., grasslands, savannas, or dry forests) that experience recurrent fires often exhibit fire-adapted (or “pyrophytic”) vegetation (Trabaud 1981; Scholes 1997; van

Characterising fire regimes in Spain from fire statistics
International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2012The concept of fire regime refers to a variety of fire characteristics occurring at a given place and period of time. Understanding fire regimes is relevant to fire ecology and fire management because it provides a better understanding of effects of fire as well as the potential effects of different future scenarios.

Reconstructing Landscape Pattern of Historical Fires and Fire Regimes
2010Analysis of historical fire patterns of severity provides a view of fire regimes before they were altered by contemporary forest management practices such as logging, road-building, grazing, and fire suppression. Historical fire data can place contemporary observed fire data in a longer temporal context, and establish prior likelihoods to test outputs ...

The effects of fire on landscapes depend on the interaction between the five components that integrate the fire regime. That is, plants are not adapted to fire per se, but to a certain fire regime. Similarly, wildfire management depends on the interaction between the biotic and abiotic features on the site and the fire regime. The fire regime, in turn,
