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.

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.

Fire, 2020 Fire frequency and fire seasonality are among the main components of the fire regime. In the Mediterranean Basin, climate directly drives fire occurrence, controlling fuel flammability and determining the fire-prone conditions, so that intense fires ...

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.

Is Anthropogenic Pyrodiversity Invisible in Paleofire Records?
Fire, 2019 Paleofire studies frequently discount the impact of human activities in past fire regimes. Globally, we know that a common pattern of anthropogenic burning regimes is to burn many small patches at high frequency, thereby generating landscape ...

Ecology and Society, 2013 I examined the hypothesis that traditional social-ecological fire systems around the world include common elements of traditional fire knowledge (TFK). I defined TFK as fire-related knowledge, beliefs, and practices that have been developed and applied ...

Investigaciones Geográficas, 2019 The Iberian Peninsula has a long history of fire, as the Central Mountain System, from the Estrela massif in Portugal to the Ayllón massif in Spain, is a major fire-prone area.

Asynchronous lightning and Santa Ana winds highlight human role in southern California fire regimes
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 Southern California’s most extreme fire weather is caused by offshore Santa Ana winds, which commonly occur later in the year than the lightning which provides natural ignition. Examination of the specific dates of both lightning and Santa Ana winds over

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.
