Global fire season severity analysis and forecasting [PDF]
Computers & 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 ...

Strong winds drive grassland fires in China
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Accounting for 41.7% of China’s total land area, grasslands are linked to the livelihoods of over 20 million people. Although grassland fires cause severe damage in China every year, their spatiotemporal patterns and climate drivers are not well ...

Fire, 2020 Fire frequency and fire seasonality are among the main components of the fire regime. In the Mediterranean Basin, climate directly drives fire occurrence, controlling fuel flammability and determining the fire-prone conditions, so that intense fires ...

Separating agricultural and non-agricultural fire seasonality at regional scales [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 The timing and length of burning seasons in different parts of the world depend on climate, land-cover characteristics, and human activities. In this study, global burned area estimates are used in conjunction with global gridded distributions of ...

Global Warming Reshapes European Pyroregions
Earth's Future, 2023 Wildland fire is expected to increase in response to global warming, yet little is known about future changes to fire regimes in Europe. Here, we developed a pyrogeography based on statistical fire models to better understand how global warming reshapes ...

Quantitative assessment of fire and vegetation properties in simulations with fire-enabled vegetation models from the Fire Model Intercomparison Project [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2020 Global fire-vegetation models are widely used to assess impacts of environmental change on fire regimes and the carbon cycle and to infer relationships between climate, land use and fire.

Multi-year MODIS active fire type classification over the Brazilian Tropical Moist Forest Biome
International Journal of Digital Earth, 2017 The Brazilian Tropical Moist Forest Biome (BTMFB) spans almost 4 million km2 and is subject to extensive annual fires that have been categorized into deforestation, maintenance, and forest fire types.

Wildfire evacuation patterns and syndromes across Canada's forested regions
Ecosphere, 2022 Human exposure to wildfire is increasing in many regions globally—a trend likely to continue as climate change drives increases in wildfire activity and human populations continue to expand into fire‐prone landscapes.
