- The spatially varying influence of humans on fire probability in North America (2016, background): “…in North America occurs in the western United States and in the boreal forests of Canada and Alaska, where, in spite of large pockets of urbanization and agriculture, fire is promoted by expansive wildlands combined with fire-conducive climates and vegetation (Swetnam1993,Westerling et al2003).”
