Abstract:Background. Drivers of fire regimes vary among spatial scales, and fire history reconstructions are often limited to stand scales, making it difficult to partition effects of regional climate forcing versus individual site histories.

We estimated fire frequency, identified regionally widespread fire years (based on th… Show more
