Wildfire Ignitions: A Review of the Science and Recommendations for Empirical Modeling

Prestemon, Jeffrey P., Hawbaker, Todd J., Bowden, Michael, Carpenter, John, Brooks, Maureen T., Abt, Karen L., Sutphen, Ronda, Scranton, Samuel·2013

Abstract

Deriving from original work under the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy completed in 2011, this report summarizes the state of knowledge regarding the underlying causes and the role of wildfire prevention efforts on all major categories of wildfires, including findings from research that have sought to model wildfire occurrences over fine and broad spatial and temporal scales. The report also describes a conceptual model of wildfire ignitions, which is designed to provide a modeling framework for analysts who seek to better understand wildfire ignition processes or develop statistical models that can predict wildfire occurrences across any spatial or temporal scale.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Economic models have also been developed to express the interactions between land users (agents) and fire, treating the most likely actions of each agent as a function of the costs and benefits to that agent in a range of environmental and socioeconomic circumstances, while recognizing that fire can represent a cost to one agent while synchronously providing economic benefits to another.

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.
