East African landscapes today are the result of the cumulative effects of climate and land-
use change over millennial timescales. In this review, we compile archaeological and …

Human impacts on fire regimes accumulated slowly with the evolution of modern humans
able to ignite fires and manipulate landscapes. Today, myriad voices aim to influence fire in …

Fire is an essential Earth system process that alters ecosystem and atmospheric
composition. Here we assessed long-term fire trends using multiple satellite data sets. We …

Natural and human-ignited fires affect all major biomes, altering ecosystem structure,
biogeochemical cycles and atmospheric composition. Satellite observations provide global …

This paper presents the generation of a global burned area mapping algorithm using MODIS
hotspots and near-infrared reflectance within ESA's Fire_cci project. The algorithm is based …

Fire is a ubiquitous component of the Earth system that is poorly understood. To date, a
global-scale understanding of fire is largely limited to the annual extent of burning as …

Non‐native, invasive grasses have been linked to altered grass‐fire cycles worldwide.
Although a few studies have quantified resulting changes in fire activity at local scales, and …

Aim In order to understand fire's impacts on vegetation dynamics, it is crucial that the
distribution of fire sizes be known. We approached this distribution using a power‐law …

Here we integrate spatial information on annual burnt area, fire frequency, fire seasonality,
fire radiative power and fire size distributions to produce an integrated picture of fire regimes …

Changing wildfire regimes in the western US and other fire-prone regions pose
considerable risks to human health and ecosystem function. However, our understanding of …
