Fig. 4: The dynamics of wildfire research paradigms based on the conceptual “fire triangles”.
From: Large language models reveal big disparities in current wildfire research
The changes of research paradigms were assessed by the relative increase in the number of publications primarily concerning one of the three “fire triangles” (ignition, climate, fuel (vegetation))22. Connection lines denote publications addressing two of the triangle points (aspects). Each different aspect is marked by a different color. The chronological sequence of these research focuses is also illustrated with color changes. The sizes of circles and widths of lines indicate the number of annual publications within a specific decade. The background is depicted by light gray dashed lines, representing the axis of increasing frequency of publications.
