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 ...

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 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.

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.

Relating wildfire seasonality to remotely sensed fuel phenology: a tool for a new pyrogeography? [PDF]
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.

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.

The interaction of fire and mankind: Introduction. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2016 Fire has been an important part of the Earth system for over 350 Myr. Humans evolved in this fiery world and are the only animals to have used and controlled fire.
