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,

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.

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 ...

Pyrogeography of the Western Great Plains: A 40-Year History of Fire in Semi-Arid Rangelands
FireThis study describes spatial and temporal patterns in fire across the US Western Great Plains over the last 40 years. Although pyrogeographic studies have explored the nexus of fire patterns in relation to the bio-physical environment and socio ...

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.

American Ethnologist, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 568-581, November 2023., 2023 Abstract During an unprecedented crisis of bushfires, the staff of emergency management control centers in southeast Australia pause to perform rites with their political leaders. They reenact decisions that have already been made and generate divinations of fiery futures that are unlikely to occur.

Towards a whole‐system framework for wildfire monitoring using Earth observations
Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 6, Page 1423-1436, March 2023., 2023 Earth observation data are critical for monitoring fires and their impacts as fire seasons become less predictable. In this manuscript, we draw upon multiple disciplines to present a whole‐system framework for identifying and synthesizing fire monitoring objectives and data needs throughout the life cycle of a fire event.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 127, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Despite the widespread use of the “fire regime” concept for describing spatial and temporal patterns and ecosystem impacts of fire, this concept lacks an unambiguous, quantitative definition. By adopting from the ecological literature the concept of climate niche, that is, the environmental conditions that allow a specie to exist, we propose a
