Although some wildfires are caused by natural ignitions, it is also important to understand how human ignitions and human-related factors can contribute to wildfires. While dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) have incorporated fire-related modules to simulate wildfires and their impacts, few models have fully considered various human-related factors causing human ignitions. Using global examples, this study aims to identify key factors associated with human impacts on wildfires and provides suggestions for enhancing model simulations. The main categories explored in this paper are human behavior and activities, socioeconomic background, policy, laws, regulations, and cultural and traditional activities, all of which can influence wildfires. Employing an integrated and interdisciplinary assessment approach, this study evaluates existing DGVMs and provides suggestions for their improvement.enCC BY 4.0wildfireshuman ignitionsdynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs)human behaviorssocioeconomic factorssimulationeffects (results)economic effectssimulatorsforest firesenvironmental effectssimulointivaikutuksetmaastopalottaloudelliset vaikutuksetsimulaattoritURN:NBN:fi-fe2025091996933297A2 Katsausartikkeli tieteellisessä aikakauslehdessä
