ABSTRACT
As pointed out by [6], fires are a part of the Earth system process, which combines biogeochemical cycles, vegetation dynamics, and human activities. Fires’ regimes play an important role in this system, along with their causes and consequences, and can be characterized in terms of frequency, intensity, seasonality, extent and type, considering different spatial and also temporal scales [3]. The main drivers of fires’ regimes are climate, fuel, and land use management practices [25] and, although their interactions are complex, their characterization presents important implications at local and global scales of wildfire patterns [20].
