Future changes in climatic water balance determine potential for transformational shifts in Australian fire regimes

Future changes in climatic water balance determine potential for transformational shifts in Australian fire regimes

Most studies of climate change effects on fire regimes assume a gradual reorganization of pyrogeographic patterns and have not considered the potential for transformational changes in the climate-vegetation-fire relationships underlying continental-scale fire regimes. Here, we model current fire act...
