Conclusion
Our random forest models predicted that the responses of future fuel
hazard to climate change depend on climate aridity as well as local
topographic attributes. We reported possible fuel hazard shifts because
of changing climate and Ca. These findings highlight the
fact that fuel hazard patterns are the product of the interaction among
climate, vegetation, and topography. Predictions based on a subset of
these factors are thus unlikely to be reliable. Our framework provides a
useful decision support tool for fire risk management as well as a
reference for evaluating process-based model predictions.
