Wildfire, Climate and Species Distribution: Possible Futures of the Rocky Mountain White Fir (A. concolor var. concolor) in Colorado and New Mexico [PDF]

, 2016
Humans have altered their natural surroundings since their appearance on Earth. More recently, humans have increased their impact on natural systems causing changes in wildfire behavior, climate and species distribution to occur at a higher rate post ...

Spatial patterns and drivers of fire occurrence in a Mediterranean environment: a case study of southern Croatia. [PDF]

, 2017
Wildfires are an important factor of landscape dynamics in fire-prone environments of the world. In the Mediterranean, one of the most fire-susceptible environments globally, between 45,000 and 50,000 wildfires are recorded every year, causing ...

Cluster recognition in spatial-temporal sequences: the case of forest fires [PDF]

, 2018
Forest fire sequences can be modelled as a stochastic point process where events are characterized by their spatial locations and occurrence in time. Cluster analysis permits the detection of the space/time pattern distribution of forest fires.

Reconstructing Disturbances and Their Biogeochemical Consequences over Multiple Timescales [PDF]

, 2017
Ongoing changes in disturbance regimes are predicted to cause acute changes in ecosystem structure and function in the coming decades, but many aspects of these predictions are uncertain.

Biological and geophysical feedbacks with fire in the Earth system [PDF]

, 2017
Roughly 3% of the Earth’s land surface burns annually, representing a critical exchange of energy and matter between the land and atmosphere via combustion.

Pyrogeography: integrating and evaluating existing models of Australian fire regimes to predict climate change impacts

, 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 ...

Archaeological evidence of anthropogenic burning for food production in forested uplands of the Grand Canyon province, northern Arizona

Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology
Despite convincing archaeological arguments about the global effects of human pyrogeography and their evolutionary significance, many of the implicated data sources are unavailable in research contexts that lack significant accumulations of charcoal or ...

Fuel for Wildfire: Controls on the Distribution of Wildfire in the Southeastern United States [PDF]

, 2020
Ecologists and wildlife managers alike have explored the role of fire as an ecosystem disturbance for decades and, yet, the role of scale remains poorly understood in pyrogeography. Understanding how wildfire occurs on the landscape and, furthermore, how

A Contribution to the Statistical Analysis of Climate-Wildfire Interaction in Northern California [PDF]

, 2022
Wildfires are extreme weather events that exist at the interface of atmospheric, ecological, and human processes. Ongoing anthropogenic climate change is expected to impact the distribution, frequency, and behavior of wildfires on a grand scale, however ...

Characterizing Wildfire in the Frank Church Wilderness, Idaho, Between 1972-2012 [PDF]

, 2022
I examined wildfire characteristics in the Frank Church Wilderness, central Idaho, between 1972-2012. Studying fire characteristics in the Frank Church Wilderness provides an opportunity to understand the history of wildfires in a federally designated ...
