Here, we developed the first European pyrogeography based on different fire regime components to better understand fire regimes across the continent. We identified four large-scale pyroregions: a non-fire-prone (NFP) pyroregion featuring nominal fire activity across central and northern Europe; a cool-season fire (CSF) pyroregion scattered throughout Europe; a fire-prone (FP) pyroregion extending mostly across southern Europe; and a highly fire-prone (HFP) pyroregion spanning across northern Portugal, Sicily, and western Balkans. Land cover analysis indicates that pyroregions were first shaped by vegetation and then by anthropogenic factors. On interannual timescales the spatial extent of pyroregions was found to vary, with NFP showing more stability. Interannual correlations between climate and burned area, fire frequency, and the length of fire period exhibited distinct patterns, strengthening in fire-prone pyroregions (FP and HFP) and weakening in NFP and CSF. Proportion of cool-season fires and large fires were related to fuel accumulation in fire-prone pyroregions. Overall, our findings indicate that such a pyrogeography should allow a more accurate estimate of the effects of climate on fire regimes while providing an appropriate framework to better understand fire in Europe. 000151994 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/101003890/EU/FIREURISK - DEVELOPING A HOLISTIC, RISK-WISE STRATEGY FOR EUROPEAN WILDFIRE MANAGEMENT/FirEUrisk$$9This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 101003890-FirEUrisk 000151994 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000151994 590__ $$a3.398$$b2021 000151994 591__ $$aFORESTRY$$b12 / 69 = 0.174$$c2021$$dQ1$$eT1 000151994 592__ $$a0.847$$b2021 000151994 593__ $$aForestry$$c2021$$dQ1 000151994 593__ $$aEcology$$c2021$$dQ1 000151994 594__ $$a5.7$$b2021 000151994 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000151994 700__ $$aCurt, Thomas 000151994 700__ $$aBarbero, Renaud 000151994 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-0477-0796$$aRodrigues, Marcos$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000151994 7102_ $$13006$$2010$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
