The pyrogeography of Amazonia: a Holocene perspective
Frontiers of BiogeographyAmazonian forest fires rarely, if ever, ignite and spread in the absence of humans. The first colonization of people into South America happened in the late Pleistocene, and by 10,000 years ago, humans had introduced fire into a naive landscape. Here we build on previous databases of burned 14

Forests(1) Background: Changes in the spatial, temporal, and magnitude-related patterns of fires caused by humans are expected to exacerbate with climate change, significantly impacting ecosystems and societies worldwide. However, our understanding of fire regimes in many regions remains limited, largely due to the inherent complexity of fire as an ecological

Pyrogeography: An Alternative Zonation for Europe
The Third International Conference on Fire Behavior and Risk, 2022 Studies dealing with wildland fire at global or continental scales normally use coarse-resolution spatial units, within which fire-regime components are aggregated for statistical purposes [...

, 2013 The working group aimed to address important knowledge gaps in the biogeography of fire in Australia by: (1) Developing an approach to classifying and mapping broad fire regimes at a continental scale. A continental description of the diversity of fire regimes is a key step in understanding the global drivers and constraints of landscape fire, as well ...

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.

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2020 Wildfires have been a major landscape disturbance factor throughout history in inland mountain areas of Spain. This paper aims to understand the interaction of fire regimes and landscape dynamics during the last two centuries within a socio-spatial ...

Modelling Human-Fire Interactions: Combining Alternative Perspectives and Approaches
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Although it has long been recognised that human activities affect fire regimes, the interactions between humans and fire are complex, imperfectly understood, constantly evolving, and lacking any kind of integrative global framework.

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.
