Fig. 2 — Comparison of simulated area burned with other observation-based estimates and charcoal indices. The satellite-based products include the GFED 4.1 s^14,15 data set for the period 1997–2014 and the European Space Agency’s Climate Change Initiative (ESA CCI) for the period 2005–2011. Global charcoal indices are from the Global Charcoal Database^12,13 (GCD, based on 2008¹² and 2016¹³ publications). The decadal reconstruction of global burned area for the 20th century from Mouillot and Field²⁶ is based on land use practices, qualitative reports and local studies
