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.

Pyrogeography across the western Palaearctic: A diversity of fire regimes
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2022 AbstractAimThe aim was to characterize fire regimes and estimate fire regime parameters (area burnt, size, intensity, season, patchiness and pyrodiversity) at broad spatial scales using remotely sensed individual‐fire data.LocationWestern part of the Palaearctic realm (i.e., Europe, North Africa and the Near East).Time period2001–2021.MethodsInitially,

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 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.

Global Warming Reshapes European Pyroregions [PDF]
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 ...

Pyrogeography in flux: Reorganization of Australian fire regimes in a hotter world
Global Change BiologyAbstractChanges to the spatiotemporal patterns of wildfire are having profound implications for ecosystems and society globally, but we have limited understanding of the extent to which fire regimes will reorganize in a warming world. While predicting regime shifts remains challenging because of complex climate–vegetation–fire feedbacks, understanding ...

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.

Climate and socioeconomic drivers of biomass burning and carbon emissions from fires in tropical dry forests: A Pantropical analysis. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2023 About 20% of the Pantropical tropical dry forest biomass is affected by fires of which small fires explain most of it. The spatial distribution of small fires is related to socioeconomic and biophysical drivers, while climatic conditions drive large and intense fires.
