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 Pyrogeography of Methane Emissions from Seasonal Mosaic Burning Regimes in a West African Landscape [PDF]
Fire, 2023 People have set fire to the savannas of West Africa for millennia, creating a pyrogeography. Fires render the landscape useful for many productive activities, but there is also a long history of efforts to regulate indigenous burning practices.

The pyrogeography of eastern boreal Canada from 1901 to 2012 simulated with the LPJ-LMfire model [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 Wildland fires are the main natural disturbance shaping forest structure and composition in eastern boreal Canada. On average, more than 700 000 ha of forest burns annually and causes as much as CAD 2.9 million worth of damage.

Contemporary Pyrogeography and Wildfire-Climate Relationships of South Dakota, USA [PDF]
Atmosphere, 2018 A recent wildland fire history and climate database was compiled for South Dakota, USA (SD). Wildfires are generally a warm season phenomenon across central and western SD while eastern SD exhibits a spring peak in annual wildfire activity.

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.

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.

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.
