Fire science for rainforests
Abstract
Forest fires are growing in size and frequency across the tropics. Continually eroding fragmented forest edges, they are unintended ecological disturbances that transcend deforestation to degrade vast regions of standing forest, diminishing ecosystem services and the economic potential of these natural resources. Affecting the health of millions, net forest fire emissions may have released carbon equivalent to 41% of worldwide fossil fuel use in 1997-98. Episodically more severe during El Niño events, pan-tropical forest fires will increase as more damaged, less fire-resistant, forests cover the landscape. Here I discuss the current state of tropical fire science and make recommendations for advancement.

In the citing paper
“Fires set during droughts are also used to clear tropical rain forest to establish broad-scale agriculture, and fire spread in adjacent forests is further facilitated by the selective logging that typically precedes the agriculture frontier, creating a powerful feedback cycle (Cochrane, 2003).”
From The human dimension of fire regimes on Earth (2011) · cites this paper as Cochrane, 2003
In the citing paper
“As such, there is an environmental issue due to the replacement of native vegetation for exotic grass species increasing the flammability of degraded forests (Cochrane, 2003), as well as creating land degradation, biodiversity loss and greenhouse gas emissions (Jara-Rojas et al., 2020), but there is also a socio-economic transformation advancing with it.”

In the citing paper
“Fire in Amazonian forests (today and in the past) is mainly associated with human activities as many forests are too wet for natural ignitions to spread”
From Pre‐contact and post‐colonial ecological legacies shape Surinamese rainforests (2024) · cites this paper as Cochrane, 2003
In the citing paper
“Longer fire seasons prolong conducive burning conditions, potentially expanding areas susceptible to escaped deforestation fires59 and subsequently strengthening feedbacks in regional climate-fire dynamics60.”

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.
