Fig. 2: Fire-prone region classification.

From: Spatial and temporal expansion of global wildland fire activity in response to climate change

Fig. 2

a With observed burned area data as a reference: not classified (NC, white) and misclassified (C, black) areas with BAmax = 0 ha, unclassified (NC, grey) and classified (Tr-ds, Ar-fl, Te-dhs and Bo-hs) areas with BAmax > 0 ha. Each class is subdivided into three subcategories depending on the recurrence of the fire-prone conditions: recurrent (r), occasional (o) and infrequent (i). b Present (1996–2016) fire-prone climatic regions. c Future (2070–2099) fire-prone climatic regions with shaded grey representing a <75% confidence percentage, estimated as the percentage of CMIP5 Global Circulation Models (GCMs) agreeing on the result.
