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 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.

Fire activity and severity in the western US vary along proxy gradients representing fuel amount and fuel moisture. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 Numerous theoretical and empirical studies have shown that wildfire activity (e.g., area burned) at regional to global scales may be limited at the extremes of environmental gradients such as productivity or moisture.

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.

Fire, 2022 A neglected dimension of the fire regime concept is fire patchiness. Habitat mosaics that emerge from the grain of burned and unburned patches (pyrodiversity) are critical for the persistence of a diverse range of plant and animal species.

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.
