Fire in boreal forests : climatic influences on the number and sizes of fires in recent Canadian forests and the size-area relationship in a Swedish site over the last 800 years
To assess if the fire regimes in Sweden before the strong human intervention are comparable to the recent Canadian fire regime I compared two datasets of fire numbers. A likeness could be found when comparing the Swedish and Canadian fire regimes, but due to the differences in study area (Canada: the whole state; Sweden 608km2) and time span (Canada: 41 years, Sweden: 800 years), no significant re
