FLAME - Fogo local analisado pela Máxima Entropia

Introduction

FLAME (Fogo local analisado pela Máxima Entropia or Fire Landscape using the Maximum Entropy) is a Bayesian inference implementation of a maximum entropy fire model specifically tailored to simulating fires in heterogeneous territories like Brazil.

Notes on constraining area

Political areas

When opening data, setting ''Country'' or ''Continent'' will constrain the extent to that country or continent, and mask areas outside of it. Uses Natural Earth. If you define a country, it one look at the continent. Use None is you don't want any. Continent options are:

• 'South America'
• 'Oceania'
• 'Europe'
• 'Afria'
• 'North America'
• 'Asia'

Ecoregions

''ecoregions'' is a numeric list (i.e [3, 7, 8]) where numbers pick Olson bomes and mask out everywhere else. If you pick more than one, it returns a map of all of them.

• None Return all areas.
• 1 Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests
• 2 Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests
• 3 Tropical and suptropical coniferous forests
• 4 Temperate broadleaf and mixed forests
• 5 Temperate Coniferous Forest
• 6 Boreal forests / Taiga
• 7 Tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas and shrublands
• 8 Temperate grasslands, savannas and shrublands
• 9 Flooded grasslands and savannas
• 10 Montane grasslands and shrublands
• 11 Tundra
• 12 Mediterranean Forests, woodlands and scrubs
• 13 Deserts and xeric shrublands
• 14 Mangroves

Brazillian legal Biomes

''Biomes'' is a numeric list where numbers pick Brazilian biomes and mask out everywhere else. If you pick more than one, it returns a map of all of them.

• 1 Amazonia
• 2 Caatinga
• 3 Cerrado
• 4 Atlantic Forest
• 5 Pampa
• 6 Pantanal
