Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Drivers of Anthropogenic Fires in Northern China’s Agri-Pastoral Ecotone
Anthropogenic fires in agro-pastoral ecotones are understudied. Using Ordos data (1987–2020) and machine learning, we identified fire drivers and patterns. Fires clustered in eastern populated areas, increased after 2000, and peaked recently, with April seasonality. Human-related ignitions dominated. Slope, humidity, a...
