Global Warming Reshapes European Pyroregions
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 ...

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

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

Uncovering current pyroregions in Italy using wildfire metrics
Ecological Processes, 2022 Background Pyrogeography is a major field of investigation in wildfire science because of its capacity to describe the spatial and temporal variations of fire disturbance.

Spatio‐Temporal Domains of Wildfire‐Prone Teleconnection Patterns in the Western Mediterranean Basin
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 48, Issue 19, 16 October 2021., 2021 Abstract This work explores the main climate teleconnections influencing the Western Mediterranean Basin to outline homogeneous fire‐prone weather domains combining cross‐correlation time series and cluster analysis. We found a zonal effect of the Scandinavian pattern over the entire region with an interesting alternation of phases from positive during

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 48, Issue 6, 28 March 2021., 2021 Abstract Uncertainty in preindustrial aerosol emissions, including fires, is one of the largest sources of uncertainty in estimating anthropogenic radiative forcing. Here, we quantify the range in aerosol forcing associated with uncertainty in the location and magnitude of preindustrial fire emissions in a climate model based on four emission estimates.
