Like many biomes, this system has undergone drastic land-use change over the last century; however, how various land-use types contribute to wildfire patterns in grassland systems is unclear. We determine if certain land-use types have a greater propensity for large wildfire in the U.S. Great Plains and how this changes given the percentage of land covered by a given land-use type. Almost 90% of the area burned in the Great Plains occurred in woody and grassland land-use types. Although grassland comprised the greatest area burned by large wildfires, woody vegetation burned disproportionately more than any other land-use type in the Great Plains. Wildfires were more likely to occur when woody vegetation composed greater than 20% of the landscape. Wildfires were unlikely to occur in croplands, pasture\/hay fields, and developed areas. Although these patterns varied by region, wildfire was most likely to occur in woody vegetation and\/or grassland in 13 of 14 ecoregions we assessed. Because woody vegetation is more conducive to extreme wildfire behaviour than other land-use types in the Great Plains, woody encroachment could pose a large risk for increasing wildfire exposure. Regional planning could leverage differential wildfire activity across land-uses to devise targeted approaches that decrease human exposure in a system prone to fire.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12111869","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,9]],"date-time":"2020-06-09T08:49:11Z","timestamp":1591692551000},"page":"1869","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Land-Use Type as a Driver of Large Wildfire Occurrence in the U.S. Great Plains"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2906-5268","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Victoria M.","family":"Donovan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68583, USA"}]},{"given":"Carissa L.","family":"Wonkka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68583, USA"}]},{"given":"David A.","family":"Wedin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Natural Resources, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68583, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0280-3339","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dirac","family":"Twidwell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68583, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"756","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1461-0248.2008.01191.x","article-title":"Disturbance-driven changes in the variability of ecological patterns and processes","volume":"11","author":"Fraterrigo","year":"2008","journal-title":"Ecol.
