Spatial Simulation of Fire Regime in Mediterranean-Climate Landscapes

The kind of fire history that characterizes an area can be termed its fire regime, the elements of which are fire type and intensity, size, return interval, and spatial pattern. Fire regime plays a major role in determining regional patterns of species distributions, vegetation patterns and fluxes of matter and energy (Kilgore 1981; Johnson 1979; Knight 1987).
