Biological and geophysical feedbacks with fire in the Earth system (2018, background): “…indicated that burned area is maximised at intermediate moisture availability (Daniau et al 2012, Krawchuk and Moritz 2011, Meyn et al 2007)—the explanation being that at low rainfall there is not enough fuel to burn, and at high rainfall the fuel is too moist to burn readily (Bradstock 2010).”
Fire frequency matters more than fire size: Testing the pyrodiversity-biodiversity paradigm for at-risk small mammals in an Australian tropical savanna (2015, background): “Variation in fire regimes is related to available moisture, dominance of either woody or herbaceous plant cover or weather conditions (Bradstock, 2010).”
The human dimension of fire regimes on Earth (2011, background): “Fire in low primary productivity environments Arid biome fires typically follow periods of above-average rainfall that produce sufficient biomass to carry fire (Bradstock, 2010).”
