Pyrogeography and the Global Quest for Sustainable Fire Management [PDF]
Annual Review of Environment and Resources, 2013 Fire is an ancient influence on the Earth system, affecting biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems. Humans have had a profound influence on global fire activity through setting and controlling fires, modifying the flammability of landscapes, and, more recently, changing the climate through the combustion of fossil fuels.

Australia—A Model System for the Development of Pyrogeography
Fire Ecology, 2011 We define pyrogeography as an integrative, multidisciplinary perspective of landscape fire, its ecological effects, and its relationships with human societies. Like biogeography, this program spans geographic scales from the local to the global, has an evolutionary frame, and thus a geological dimension.

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 ...

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.

Historical Pyrogeography of Texas, USA
Fire Ecology, 2014 AbstractSynthesis of multiple sources of fire history information increases the power and reliability of fire regime characterization. Fire regime characterization is critical for assessing fire risk, identifying climate change impacts, understanding ecosystem processes, and developing policies and objectives for fire management.

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.

Uncovering current pyroregions in Italy using wildfire metrics [PDF]
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.

The pyrogeography of sub-Saharan Africa: a study of the spatial non-stationarity of fire–environment relationships using GWR [PDF]
Journal of Geographical Systems, 2010 This study analyses the relationship between fire incidence and some environmental factors, exploring the spatial non-stationarity of the phenomenon in sub-Saharan Africa. Geographically weighted regression (GWR) was used to study the above relationship. Environment covariates comprise land cover, anthropogenic and climatic variables.

Modelling global pyrogeography using data derived from satellite imagery
, 2016 Vegetation burning has an important impact on the global atmosphere and vegetated land surface. Deforestation fires, peatland fires, and ecosystems with shortening fire return interval contribute substantially to the build-up of atmospheric greenhouse gases affecting environmental quality and the climate system at local and regional scales.
