Detecting Local Drivers of Fire Cycle Heterogeneity in Boreal Forests: A Scale Issue

Severe crown fires are determining disturbances for the composition and structure of boreal forests in North America. Fire cycle (FC) associations with continental climate gradients are well known, but smaller scale controls remain poorly documented. Using a time since fire map (time scale of 300 ye...
