From: Using Fire History Data to Map Temporal Sequences of Fire Return Intervals and Seasons
Map of the study area showing the 12 contemporary fire regimes identified through mapping fire season and fire return interval sequences. Short-short indicates two fire intervals of ≤5 years in succession at some time in the past, long-long indicates two fire intervals of ≥10 years in succession at some time in the past, and mixed indicates either a mixed frequency regime or predominantly moderate (6 yr to 9 yr intervals) regime. The pattern of fire season is indicated by first showing the most recent fire type/season, followed by a + and the historical pattern of fire types/seasons. SP = spring prescribed burn, WF = wildfire, AU = autumn prescribed burn, UN = prescribed burn in unknown season. Brown lines are unsealed roads and grey lines are fire history polygons formed by overlapping fires.
