Global pyrogeography: the current and future distribution of wildfire. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Climate change is expected to alter the geographic distribution of wildfire, a complex abiotic process that responds to a variety of spatial and environmental gradients.

The North American tree‐ring fire‐scar network
Ecosphere, 2022 Fire regimes in North American forests are diverse and modern fire records are often too short to capture important patterns, trends, feedbacks, and drivers of variability.

Increasing Large Wildfire in the Eastern United States
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Large wildfires are increasing across numerous regions of the globe. While the West has remained a primary focus of wildfire research and resources in the U.S., recent signals suggest that wildfire risk is increasing in the eastern U.S. as well.

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 ...

Pyrogeographic zonation: Implications for fire management at the local level. [PDF]
PLoS ONEFire management needs to consider the concept of pyrogeography, which highlights the coincidence of different human and natural factors that result in the fire incidence patterns found in a landscape.

Relating wildfire seasonality to remotely sensed fuel phenology: a tool for a new pyrogeography?
Annals of Silvicultural Research, 2023 In the Mediterranean region, notwithstanding the high human pressure, fire activity is essentially drought-driven, such that fuel moisture represents the main determinant for sustaining fire ignition and spread.

Fire, 2022 A neglected dimension of the fire regime concept is fire patchiness. Habitat mosaics that emerge from the grain of burned and unburned patches (pyrodiversity) are critical for the persistence of a diverse range of plant and animal species.

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2020 Wildfires have been a major landscape disturbance factor throughout history in inland mountain areas of Spain. This paper aims to understand the interaction of fire regimes and landscape dynamics during the last two centuries within a socio-spatial ...

Modelling Human-Fire Interactions: Combining Alternative Perspectives and Approaches
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Although it has long been recognised that human activities affect fire regimes, the interactions between humans and fire are complex, imperfectly understood, constantly evolving, and lacking any kind of integrative global framework.

Uncovering current pyroregions in Italy using wildfire metrics
Ecological Processes, 2022 Background Pyrogeography is a major field of investigation in wildfire science because of its capacity to describe the spatial and temporal variations of fire disturbance.
