Empirical models of forest fire initial attack success probabilities : the effects of fuels, anthropogenic linear features, fire weather, and management (2006, background): “Despite this large available data set, various confounding factors and the limited availability of covariates had to be considered when deciding on a sampling interval: the total annual area burned has varied by four orders of magnitude in the last 40 years (Armstrong 1999), fire-suppression policy ”
The spatially varying influence of humans on fire probability in North America (2016, background): “This may be due in part to the spatially expansive nature of human features and policies of aggressive fire suppression (Cumming 2005, Martell and Sun 2008).”
Climate and wildfire area burned in western U.S. ecoprovinces, 1916-2003. (2009, background): “However, fire extent and frequency are products of interacting factors other than suppression operating at multiple spatial and temporal scales (Keeley et al. 1999, Johnson et al. 2001, Bridge et al. 2005, Cumming 2005, Stephens 2005).”
