Correction to: Nature Geoscience https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-026-01960-z, published online 13 April 2026.

In the version of this article initially published, there was an error in Fig. 3a, where a stray term “37%” appeared in the middle of the plot, and an error in Fig. 4, where the label now reading “Fire area per 10,000 km2” appeared originally as “RTS area….” The figures have been amended in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
