In fire-prone, fire-adapted landscapes – those where fire is an integral part of ecosystem maintenance and functioning – anthropogenic actions can directly and indirectly influence fire regimes and fire effects via changes in vegetation distributions, fuel condition, and weather events that influence fire behavior (Loehman et al. 2014). Many of today’s landscapes are fully departed...
