A human-driven decline in global burned area.
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 found that global burned area declined by 24.3 ± 8.8% over the past 18 years. The estimated decrease in burned area remained robust after adjusting for precipitation variability and was largest in savannas. Agricultural expans...

متن کاملMapping burned area in Alaska using MODIS data: a data limitations-driven modification to the regional burned area algorithm
With the recently observed and projected trends of growing wildland fire occurrence in high northern latitudes, satellite-based burned area mapping in these regions is becoming increasingly important for scientific and fire management communities. Coarseand moderate-resolution remotely sensed data products are the only viable source of comprehensive and timely estimates of burned area in remote...
متن کاملGlobal burned area and biomass burning emissions from small fires
Global burned area and biomass burning emissions from small fires" (2012). NASA Publications. Paper 144. [1] In several biomes, including croplands, wooded savannas, and tropical forests, many small fires occur each year that are well below the detection limit of the current generation of global burned area products derived from moderate resolution surface reflectance imagery. Although these fi...
