Landscape-based fire scenarios and fire types in the Ayllón massif (Central Mountain Range, Spain), 19th and 20th centuries

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 ...

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.

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.

Fire Regions as Environmental Niches: A New Paradigm to Define Potential Fire Regimes in Africa and Australia

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

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

Importance of Uncertainties in the Spatial Distribution of Preindustrial Wildfires for Estimating Aerosol Radiative Forcing

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.

Easy-To-Interpret Procedure to Analyze Fire Seasonality and the Influence of Land Use in Fire Occurrence: A Case Study in Central Italy

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 ...

A trade-off between embolism resistance and bark thickness in conifers: Are drought and fire adaptations antagonistic? [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Understanding the mechanisms that explain the spatial distribution of conifers across biogeographical gradients is important for anticipating potential range shifts owing to global change.

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.
