Weather overrides fuel memory: Seasonal dynamics of fire hazard and the limits of the fire return interval.

Wildfire regimes in Mediterranean hotspots like Portugal are driven by anthropogenic factors and fuel build-up, causing severe socio-economic impacts. This study hypothesizes: 1) that seasonally-disaggregated models outperform an overall annual model by revealing shifts between weather- and fuel-driven regimes; and 2)...
