...In addition, fires currently occur inmost regions world-wide and are susceptible to global change drivers (Pausas & Ribeiro, 2013; Pausas & Keeley, 2014); thus, fire regimes are changing world-wide....

...…stronger implications through increased fire activity than through the direct effect of increased temperature on plants; in fact, the increased availability of fuels through drought-induced mortality (e.g., Adams et al., 2009; Allen et al., 2010) may even accelerate the increase in fire activity....

...In productive ecosystems, small changes in temperature may have much stronger implications through increased fire activity than through the direct effect of increased temperature on plants; in fact, the increased availability of fuels through drought-induced mortality (e.g., Adams et al., 2009; Allen et al., 2010) may even accelerate the increase in fire activity....

...While climate determines the frequency and variability of flammable conditions (e.g. Westerling et al., 2006; Dimitrakopoulos et al., 2011), vegetation type is related to the amount and structure of fuel, which in turn determines the type and intensity of the fire (Pausas & Keeley, 2009) as well as…...

...In the framework of global change, changes in fire regime are typically associated with warming (e.g. Flannigan et al., 2000; Westerling et al., 2006) and little consideration is given to alternative drivers that may provoke changes in fire regime (e.g. Schwilk & Keeley, 2012)....
