Patterns of vegetation are driven by climate and fire. At long temporal scales, climate, vegetation, fuels, and weather all influence fire behavior on the landscape, including fire intensity, severity, and spread. Climate directly influences vegetation patterns and fuel characteristics across the landscape. Climate and weather drive fuel flammability, fire behavior, and fire patterns at the scale of the fire and on shorter temporal scales
