Climate versus carbon dioxide controls on biomass burning: a model analysis of the glacial–interglacial contrast [PDF]

, 2014
Climate controls fire regimes through its influence on the amount and types of fuel present and their dryness. CO2 concentration constrains primary production by limiting photosynthetic activity in plants.

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.

Measurement of inter- and intra-annual variability of landscape fire activity at a continental scale: the Australian case

Environmental Research Letters, 2016
Climate dynamics at diurnal, seasonal and inter-annual scales shape global fire activity, although difficulties of assembling reliable fire and meteorological data with sufficient spatio-temporal resolution have frustrated quantification of this ...

Liana cutting for restoring tropical forests : a rare palaeotropical trial [PDF]

, 2016
Liana growth following forest disturbance is threatening the tropical carbon sink by delaying or preventing recov ery. Tree growth can be stimulated by liana cutting; however, its applicability for conservation management remains uncertain, particularly ...

The implications of the United Nations Paris Agreement on climate change for globally significant biodiversity areas [PDF]

, 2018
Climate change is already affecting species and their distributions. Distributional range changes have occurred and are projected to intensify for many widespread plants and animals, creating associated risks to many ecosystems.

Projected changes in Australian fire regimes during the 21st century and consequences for ecosystems [PDF]

, 2017
Climate projections show Australia becoming significantly warmer during the 21st century, while precipitation decreases over much of the continent. Such changes are generally considered to increase wildfire risk. Nevertheless, using a process-based model

Toward Socio‐Legal Geographies of Fire

Geography Compass, Volume 20, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Human and physical geographers alike have long called for a shift toward the study of fire that re‐politicizes geographies of fire and pyrogeographies. Whether through centering the role of fire in the Anthropocene, proposing the pyrocene to interrogate our current epoch, or looking at the aftermath and governance of fire to better understand ...

Wave of fire: an anthropogenic signal in historical fire regimes across central Pennsylvania, USA

Ecosphere, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2018., 2018
Abstract Increasingly detailed records of long‐term fire regime characteristics are needed to test ecological concepts and inform natural resource management and policymaking. We reconstructed and analyzed twelve 350+ yr‐long fire scar records developed from 2612 tree‐ring dated fire scars on 432 living and dead pine (Pinus pungens, Pinus rigida, Pinus
