Characterizing Alpine pyrogeography from fire statistics
Applied Geography, 2018Abstract In this paper, we describe current fire characteristics in the Alpine region using a ten-year forest fire record at the third and lowest resolution of the European Classification of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS3). To this purpose, we performed hierarchical clustering based on the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index on five ...

Wild, tamed, and domesticated: Three fire macroregimes for global pyrogeography in the Anthropocene
Ecological Applications, 2022AbstractClimate and natural vegetation dynamics are key drivers of global vegetation fire, but anthropogenic burning now prevails over vast areas of the planet. Fire regime classification and mapping may contribute towards improved understanding of relationships between those fire drivers.

The global pyrogeography of ecoregion flammability thresholds
2023Anthropogenic climate change is creating a more flammable future by increasing the number of days when vegetation is dry enough to burn. Indices representing the percent moisture content of dead fine fuels as derived from meteorological data have been used to assess geographic patterns and temporal trends in vegetation flammability.

<p>Unprecedented wildfires swept Mediterranean Europe in the summer of 2021 wreaking havoc economically and socially while clearing large swaths of forest land. Those that scorched the southern coastal highlands in Turkey came on the heels of a heat wave and at the peak of the arid season.

Pyrogeography and Biogeochemical Resilience
2010The response of biogeochemical fluxes to perturbation has been a major focus of ecosystem studies for decades (Bormann and Likens 1979a; Vitousek and Melillo 1979; West et al. 1981). Perturbation is a fundamental component of conceptualizations of system resilience (Holling 1973; Carpenter et al. 2001; Folke et al.

What is the relevance of pyrogeography to the Anthropocene?
The Anthropocene Review, 2014A defining feature of both the Anthropocene concept and the new discipline of pyrogeography is combustion of carbon-rich fuels by humans. A key objective of pyrogeography is understanding to what degree landscape fires set by hominins has overwritten natural fires through geological time, and whether these changes had substantial ecological knock-on ...

Forests(1) Background: Changes in the spatial, temporal, and magnitude-related patterns of fires caused by humans are expected to exacerbate with climate change, significantly impacting ecosystems and societies worldwide. However, our understanding of fire regimes in many regions remains limited, largely due to the inherent complexity of fire as an ecological

Multiscale spatiotemporal approaches to contemporary pyrogeography in savanna systems
This dissertation investigated fire and the Kalahari ecosystem in southern Africa, emphasizing the importance of diverse spatial scales and methodologies for understanding this relationship. By employing a series of "lenses" - country, regional, and local - the research illustrates how fire patterns and their drivers vary across spatial scales.openaire +1 more source
