Fire regime classification

Fire regime classification involves categorizing the typical pattern of fires in a specific area, based on factors like how often fires happen (frequency), how intense they are (severity), the size of fires, and their seasonality. It helps ecologists understand how fire shapes ecosystems over time. By classifying fire regimes, we can better plan land management and restoration efforts, ensuring that fire occurs in ways that support healthy ecological balance and reduce the risk of destructive wildfires.
