Meteorology, 2023 The length of the fire season has not garnered much attention within the broad field of meteorological research on fire regime change. Fire weather research on the Iberian Peninsula is no exception in this case; there is no solid understanding on fire ...

Global fire season severity analysis and forecasting [PDF]
Computers and Geosciences, 2020 In this paper, we divide the globe into a hexagonal grid and we extracted time series of daily fire counts from each cell to estimate and analyze worldwide fire season severity (FSS), here defined as the accumulated fire detections in a season. The central question here is evaluating the accuracy of time series forecasting methods to estimate short ...

Vegetation responses to season of fire in an aseasonal, fire-prone fynbos shrubland [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Season of fire has marked effects on floristic composition in fire-prone Mediterranean-climate shrublands. In these winter-rainfall systems, summer-autumn fires lead to optimal recruitment of overstorey proteoid shrubs (non-sprouting, slow-maturing ...

Spatio-temporal variation in dry season determines the Amazonian fire calendar
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Fire is one of the main anthropogenic drivers that threatens the Amazon. Despite the clear link between rainfall and fire, the spatial and temporal relationship between these variables is still poorly understood in the Amazon.

Seasonality of fire weather strongly influences fire regimes in South Florida savanna-grassland landscapes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Fire seasonality, an important characteristic of fire regimes, commonly is delineated using seasons based on single weather variables (rainfall or temperature). We used nonparametric cluster analyses of a 17-year (1993-2009) data set of weather variables

Fire carbon emissions over Equatorial Asia reduced by shortened dry seasons
npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023 Fire carbon emissions over Equatorial Asia (EQAS) play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. Most regional fire emissions (89.0%) occur in the dry season, but how changes in the dry-season length affect the fire emissions remains poorly understood.

Quantifying the impacts of Australian bushfires on native forests and gray-headed flying foxes
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of wildfires in many regions of the world. Changing fire regimes have been shown to delay vegetation recovery and shift distribution of ecosystems, increasing the importance of understanding the ...
