Tabular summary of global drivers of fire

CSV file containing global drivers of fire. It is a global data set with monthly data on a 0.25 degree grid from the years 2003 to 2016. (Note that for some parameters data for the year 2016 is missing). It is generally understood that fire regimes are closely linked to vegetation, climate and human activities. Thus we used the following variables (sources are in brackets[]): <br> #Climate:<br> #Max Temperature in degree C (TMax) [Climatic Research Unit (CRU)]<br> #Diurnal temperature range in degree C (DTR) [Climatic Research Unit (CRU)]<br> #Number of wet days (NrWetDays) in days [Climatic Research Unit (CRU)]<br> #Potential evapotranspiration (PET) [Climatic Research Unit (CRU)]<br> #Precipitation in mm [Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC)] #Land cover / Vegetation (all fractional data (0-1) except LAI):<br> #Fraction of absorbed Photosynthetic Active Radiation (fPAR) [Climate change initiative ESA (CCI)]<br> #Leaf area index in m^2/m^2 (LAI) [Climate change initiative ESA (CCI)]<br> #Fraction of tree land cover (LC_Tree) [Climate change initiative ESA (CCI)]<br> #Fraction of shrub land cover (LC_Shrub) [Climate change initiative ESA (CCI)]<br> #Fraction of crop land cover (LC_Crop) [Climate change initiative ESA (CCI)]<br> #Fraction of herbs land cover (LC_Herbs) [Climate change initiative ESA (CCI)]<br> #Fraction of bare land cover (LC_Bare) [Climate change initiative ESA (CCI)] #Anthropogenic influences:<br> #Road density in m/km^2 [Global Roads Inventory Project (GRIP)]<br> #Population density in inhabitants/km^2 (PopDensity) [History database of the Global Environment (HYDE)]<br> #Distance to urban population in m (DistUrbPop) [History database of the Global Environment (HYDE)]<br> #Indigenous Peoples land (IDL) as categorical variable IDL, No IDL (IDL_Layer) [Garnett et al. 2018: "A spatial overview of the global importance of Indigenous lands for conservation"]. Not included!! #Response variables:<br> #Presence/Absence of fire Global fire atlas [Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED4), Global fire atlas]. Not included, can be derived from the data set.<br> #Fire size in km^2 [Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED4), Global fire atlas]<br> #Fire duration in days [Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED4), Global fire atlas]<br> #Fire ignitions [Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED4), Global fire atlas] #regional filters<br> #Biomes [Olson et al. 2001: "Terrestrial Ecoregions of the World: A New Map of Life on Earth]<br> #Continents [Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) from ArcGIS]<br> #GFED [Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED4)] #All data except the data on Indigenous Peoples land is freely available and was uploaded. Data on Indigenous Peoples land can be requested by the authorship team of Garnett et al. (2018. Nature Sustainability, 1, 369, doi.org/10.1038/s41893-018-0100-6)
