Direct impacts of human ignitions, active suppression, and land fragmentation from agriculture on burnt areas, 2001–2014

The direct impacts that the combined effects of human ignitions, active suppression, and land fragmentation from agriculture had on burnt areas between 2001–2014 (from Kelley et al. 2019). Top: The annual average change in the land area burnt compared with a reconstructed burnt area with the same fuel, moisture, and natural ignitions amounts but without active human ignition sources, fire suppression, and land fragmentation. Bottom: the yearly change in burnt area due to these human impacts.
