Abstract:
... Landscape pyrodiversity encapsulates the range of spatiotemporal variability in disturbance by fire. There is a widely-held view that diversity in fire regimes promotes biological diversity (i.e., the Pyrodiversity-Biodiversity paradigm). However, this relationship needs to be examined more carefully as pyrodiversity at the landscape scale remains poorly defined and difficult to quantify. Here, we ...

Abstract:
... Power law frequency-size distributions of forest fires have been observed in a range of environments. The scaling behaviour of fires, and more generally of landscape patterns related to recurring disturbance and recovery, have previously been explained in the frameworks of self-organized criticality (SOC) and highly optimized tolerance (HOT). In these frameworks the scaling behaviour of the fires ...
