AbstractFire behaviour is changing in many regions worldwide. However, nonlinear interactions between fire weather, fuel, land use, management and ignitions have impeded formal attribution of global burned area changes. Here, we demonstrate that climate change increasingly explains regional burned area patterns, using an ensemble of global fire models.

AbstractThe absence of a global long-term burned area dataset significantly hampers analyses of longterm trends in wildfire impacts. This prevents conclusive statements on the role of anthropogenic activity on wildfire impacts over the last century. Here, we construct a 1901-2014 data-driven reanalysis of monthly global burned area at a 0.5° by 0.5° scale.
