Drivers of forest fire occurrence in the cultural landscape of Central Europe
Original language description
ContextWildfires in temperate Central Europe have traditionally been perceived as a mere consequence of human activity without any relevance to natural forest development, despite their documented frequent occurrence. As a result, knowledge about local fire ecology and patterns of wildfire occurrence in the landscape is lacking. Objectives we aimed to reveal the factors influencing the spatial distribution of forest fires in the Czech Republic as a model area for the broader region. Specifically, we aimed to 1 find out which factors influence the occurrence and frequency of the forest fires at the country scale and in a selected fire prone region, 2 examine the relationship of lightning strikes and their polarity with wildfire incidence, 3 identify the conditions determining areas with naturally driven fire prone conditions.MethodsWe took data on 15 985 wildfire records and explored their spatial distribution using GIS layers of human, topographic, climatic and vegetation composition factors.
