In flammable biomes, there is often a conflict between fire regimes that support biodiversity and those designed to reduce fire risk or support livelihoods.
“In flammable biomes, such as tropical savannas and seasonally dry forests, there is often a conflict between fire regimes that support biodiversity and those regimes designed to reduce fire risk to humans and their infrastructure or that support livelihoods such as pastoralism and forestry (Laris, 2002).”

“While the mechanisms governing fire control in other emergent, human driven regimes operate on seasonal (Laris 2002) or decadal (Bird et al. 2008) scales, in the Pyrenees they are on a centennial or perhaps millennial scale.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
