Texas natural regions and subregions and historical fire return intervals. Natural regions and subregions of Texas were used to stratify descriptions of historical fire regime literature and geodatabases. Refer to Table 1 for region and subregion names (source: Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs Policy Research Project Report No. 31, Preserving Texas’ Natural Heritage). The three historical fire frequency maps are: Frost (1988), pre-settlement fire frequency regions (see methods and original publication for description of the development of this coarse-scale map; PC2FM, pre-settlement fire frequency estimates by Guyette et al. (2012); and LANDFIRE National (Keane et al. 2002) Mean Fire Interval Map. See methods for more detailed descriptions.
