A fire regime is defined by four interacting parameters

Evidence

The fire regime is determined by fire type and intensity, fire frequency, season of burning, and predictability (Gill and Groves, 1981). Although each of these factors is discussed separately, they are clearly not independent of one another. — S. T. A. Pickett and P. S. White, eds., The Ecology of Natural Disturbance and…, 591

Categorization

• DEFINE: Core reference vocabulary: the four axes (type/intensity, frequency, season, predictability) that define any fire regime.
• XREF: The four-parameter disturbance ‘regime’ framing parallels the book’s broader ‘disturbance regime’ concept and Soundscape’s breakpoint/disturbance vocabulary. — connects to: Natural fire rotation quantifies fire’s role and grounds fire-management targets. — Miron L.
