Satellite observations show a declining trend in fire activity across the world’s tropical and temperate grassland ecosystems and land-use frontiers in the Americas and Southeast Asia.
(A) mean annual burned area and (B) trends in burned area (GFED4s, 1998 through 2015). Line plots (inset) indicate global burned area and trend distributions by fractional tree cover (28).
Fig. 2 A decrease in the number of fires was the primary driver of the global decline in burned area.
Normalized variation (2003 = 1) and linear trends in (A) burned area, (B) number of fires, and (C) mean fire size derived from the MODIS 500m product (MCD64A1). Shading denotes 95% prediction intervals. Adjusting for precipitation-driven trends in burned area isolated residual trends associated with other factors, including human activity (28). (D) Summary of trends in global burned area, calculated as the product of the number and size of fires, after adjusting for the influence of precipitation. Regional trends in fire number and fire size are provided in Table 1, table S1, and fig. S7.
