• Multiple threats, or multiplying the threats? Interactions between invasive predators and other ecological disturbances (2015, background): “…and predation are likely to be further exacerbated by future increases in fire frequency and intensity that are predicted in global climate models (Pechony and Shindell, 2010), or by increased rates of prescribed burning by land managers attempting to reduce the risk of large wildfires (Penman et…”
• Direct and component-wise bias correction of multi-variate climate indices: the percentile adjustment function diagnostic tool (2018, background): “Forest management is an important socio-economic sector highly sensitive to climate change, since forest fire activity is greatly controlled by climate variability (see, e.g., Pechony and Shindell 2010).”
• The human dimension of fire regimes on Earth (2011, background): “Pechony & Shindell (2010) combined global fire and climate modelling to describe changes in fire activity from the pre-industrial period into plausible future climates by assuming that both human ignitions and suppression increased with human population density.”
• Assessing changes in global fire regimes (2023, background): “A second overall lesson is that knowledge of past fire regimes provides perspective on how climate, vegetation, and human actions interacted to shape fire in the Earth system (Marlon et al., 2008; Molinari et al., 2018; Pechony & Shindell, 2010).”
• Continued warming could transform Greater Yellowstone fire regimes by mid-21st century (2011, result): “Our results are consistent with predictions for increased temperature-driven fire activity in other regions (20, 21, 23, 42, 43) but also suggest that future climate–fire dynamics may differ from those observed in the past.”
