TLDR
In this article, the authors assessed the potential drivers of deforestation and forest fires in the central Brazilian Amazon and show that over a period of 31 years (1985-2015) forest fires occurred only in years of extreme drought induced by El Nino (1997, 2009 and 2015).About:

Fire Dynamics of the Bolivian Amazon
TL;DR: In this paper , trend analysis and emerging hotspot analysis are deployed to identify the spatial and temporal patterns of fire activity and boosted regression tree models are used for identifying the drivers of forest fire within each ecoregion of the Bolivian Amazon basin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highway Network and Fire Occurrence in Amazonian Indigenous Lands
TL;DR: In this paper , the influence of highway infrastructure on fire occurrence inside and around Indigenous Lands (IL) located in the Brazilian Amazon biome, from 2008 to 2021, was evaluated using data from 14 different satellites, available on the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research.

Analysis of how the spatial and temporal patterns of fire and their bioclimatic and anthropogenic drivers vary across the Amazon rainforest in El Niño and non-El Niño years.
Minerva Singh,Xiaoxiang Zhu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how both fire dynamics and bioclimatic factors varied based on the season (wet season and dry season) El Nino years across the different countries and ecosystems within the Amazon rainforest.

The measurement of observer agreement for categorical data
J. R. Landis,Gary G. Koch +1 more
TL;DR: A general statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate categorical data arising from observer reliability studies is presented and tests for interobserver bias are presented in terms of first-order marginal homogeneity and measures of interob server agreement are developed as generalized kappa-type statistics.

TL;DR: This article showed that a doubling in the occurrence of such extreme episodes is caused by increased surface warming of the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, which results in the atmospheric conditions required for these event to occur.

TL;DR: Records from multiple long-term monitoring plots across Amazonia are used to assess forest responses to the intense 2005 drought, a possible analog of future events that may accelerate climate change through carbon losses and changed surface energy balances.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present field surveys of wood mills and forest burning across Brazilian Amazonia which show that logging crews severely damage 10,000 to 15,000 km2 of forest that are not included in deforestation mapping programmes.
