Abstract

This package contains the fire management parameter datasets compiled from 66 published studies across three independent traditions — Aboriginal Australian, Native Californian, and West African — together with supplementary entries from Brazilian cerrado, Scottish muirburn, Norwegian heathland, San/Khwe, and other traditions (92 entries total). It includes the Python 3 convergence analysis code (NumPy/SciPy), the 10,000-iteration permutation null model results for each of the five tested parameters, Fisher's combined probability sensitivity analyses across parameter subsets, and the suppression natural experiment data from northern Australia (WALFA), California (pre- and post-suppression fire scar records), and West Africa (Mali fire ban documentation). All files are provided in open formats (CSV, JSON, Python .py scripts) to support full replication of all analyses reported in the companion paper.
