The spatially varying influence of humans on fire probability in North America

The spatially varying influence of humans on fire probability in North America

Humans affect fire regimes by providing ignition sources in some cases, suppressing wildfires in others, and altering natural vegetation in ways that may either promote or limit fire. In North America, several studies have evaluated the effects of society on fire activity; however, most studies have...
