Long-range Wildfire Exposure Validation is Ecoregion-dependent in Britain

A poster presented at the Wildland Fire Canada Conference + Canadian Smoke Forum in Saskatoon, Canada, October 2026. Using the fireexposuR package in R, short-range (100 m) wildfire exposure maps were validated for all four ecoregions in Britain, whereas long-range (500 m) exposure maps are not validated in the Celtic Broadleaf Forests and English Lowlands Beech Forests ecoregions. The poster illustrates the land cover classes that burned (2014-2024) and shows the validation graphs comparing the proportion of land area in each exposure class with the proportion of area that burned.
