What controls fire spatial patterns? Predictability of fire characteristics in the Canadian boreal plains ecozone

plains ecozone www.nrfirescience.org/resource/20667 Most regulatory and certification agencies in Canada now require forest management plans to include some level of historical fire pattern approximation. As a result, sustainable forest management and enhancements to existing fire management policies and practices require a thorough understanding of the spatial fire patterns created...
