Land cover change interacts with drought severity to change fire regimes in Western Amazonia por Gutiérrez Vélez, Victor Hugo, Uriarte, M.A, DeFries, Ruth S., Pinedo Vasquez, M., Fernandes, K., Ceccato, P, Baethgen, Walter E., Padoch, Christine

“…We then combined these maps with land cover and climate information to understand the influence of land cover change in cleared lands and dry‐season severity on fire occurrence and spread in a focus area in the Peruvian Amazon. Fire occurrence, quantified as the probability of burning of individual 232‐m spatial resolution MODIS pixels, was modeled as a function of the area of land cover types within each pixel, drought severity, and distance to roads. …”
