DOI: 10.1007/s11069-017-2770-1
Abstract: Wildfire occurrence is regulated by many factors such as climate, vegetation, topography and ignition source. The effects of these factors vary across space. In this study, generalised additive models were used to assist in understanding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11769-017-0928-0
Abstract: Understanding the spatiotemporal links between drought and forest fire occurrence is crucial for improving decision-making in fire management under current and future climatic conditions. We quantified forest fire activity in Mexico using georeferenced fire records… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/wf20139
Abstract: Wildland fire occurrence prediction (FOP) modelling supports fire management decisions, such as suppression resource pre-positioning and the routeing of detection patrols. Common empirical modelling methods for FOP include both model-based (statistical modelling) and algorithmic-based (machine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/acd2ee
Abstract: A new fire danger index is proposed to overcome one of the most important limitations of current fire danger metrics. The fire occurrence probability index (FOPI) combines the Canadian fire weather index (FWI) with remote… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/adc755
Abstract: Fire occurrence in tropical peatlands is closely related to both land cover (LC) type and proximity to drainage (canal) networks. However, little is known about the extent to which LC and drainage density interact to… read more here.

We’re building it up to burn it down: fire occurrence and fire-related climatic patterns in Brazilian biomes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.14276
Abstract: Background Terrestrial biomes in South America are likely to experience a persistent increase in environmental temperature, possibly combined with moisture reduction due to climate change. In addition, natural fire ignition sources, such as lightning, can… read more here.
