Pyrogeography, historical ecology, and the human dimensions of fire regimes
Open accessAbstract
In our 2011 synthesis (Bowman et al., Journal of Biogeography, 2011, 38, 2223–2236), we argued for a holistic approach to human issues in fire science that we term ‘pyrogeography’. Coughlan & Petty (Journal of Biogeography, 2013, 40, 1010–1012) critiqued our paper on the grounds that our ‘pyric phase’ model was built on outdated views of cultural development, claiming we developed it to be the unifying explanatory framework for all human–fire sciences. Rather, they suggest that ‘historical ecology’ could provide such a framework. We used the ‘pyric transition’ for multiple purposes but did not offer it as an exclusive explanatory framework for pyrogeography. Although ‘historical ecology’ is one of many useful approaches to studying human–fire relationships, scholars should also look to political and evolutionary ecology, ecosystems and complexity theories, as well as empirical generalizations to build an interdisciplinary fire science that incorporates human, ecological and biophysical dimensions of fire regimes.

Distinguishing the human role in fire history is only possible because of linkages between the fire record and the archaeological record at comparable pyrogeographic scales.
“In our study, distinguishing the human role in fire history is only possible because of linkages between the fire record and the archaeological record at comparable pyrogeographic scales (17,52).”
From Indigenous impacts on North American Great Plains fire regimes of the past millennium (2018) · cites this paper as [52]
The 'Human Pyrogeography in a Complex World' section says that distinguishing human-caused fire activity in palaeoenvironmental records is difficult with existing methods; the Conclusions likewise say current fire-history methods may be inadequate. The paper does not say that linking fire and archaeological records at comparable pyrogeographic scales is what makes the distinction possible. The citing authors' phrase 'in our study' describes their own study, not this source's finding. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredHuman impacts on fire regimes are not mutually exclusive with climate influences.
“Although many scholars treat climate and human activity as mutually exclusive influences on fire activity, our study indicates that human impacts on fire regimes are not so simple (52).”

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.
