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.

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,

Eco-hydrology driven fire regime in savanna
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2014Fire is an important evolutionary force and ecosystem consumer that shapes savanna composition. However, ecologists have not comprehensively explained the functioning and maintenance of flammable savannas. A new minimal model accounting for the interdependence between soil saturation, biomass growth, fuel availability and fire has been used to predict ...
