Wildland fire as a self‐regulating mechanism: the role of previous burns and weather in limiting fire progression

SA Parks, LM Holsinger, C Miller… - Ecological …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Theory suggests that natural fire regimes can result in landscapes that are both self‐
regulating and resilient to fire. For example, because fires consume fuel, they may create …
