- Forest ecology. Fire suppression removes the small frequent fires that consume fuel; fuel load accumulates until the system shifts from absorbing many small fires to discharging in catastrophic conflagrations.

The abstract states the general pathology principle (reducing a system's natural range of variation lowers resilience and produces crises and surprises); it does not name fire suppression, fuel accumulation, or conflagration.
“If natural levels of variation in system behavior are reduced through command‐and‐control, then the system becomes less resilient to external perturbations, resulting in crises and surprises.”
- Forest ecology. Fire suppression removes the small frequent fires that consume fuel; fuel load accumulates until the system shifts from absorbing many small fires to discharging in catastrophic conflagrations.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
