Here we synthesize the previous 11 chapters and provide a brief look into the future of landscape ecology of fire research. We speculate briefly on the implications for policy and management of fire in a rapidly changing climate. Section I gives us a glimpse of how new conceptual and theoretical models may enable us to think across scales and anticipate 'no analog' conditions for future fire regimes. It also suggests that we can liberally borrow tools from other disciplines - physics, engineering, complex systems, and organismic biology - while increasing the robustness of core analyses within landscape ecology by quantifying relationships across scales. Section II begins to bring global and regional climatology into the landscape domain via the cross-scale applicability of energy-water relations. It shows promise for linking fine-scale fire spread and fire behavior to broad-scale fire climatology. Section III provides a disciplinary case study and a geographic case study. Each suggests that a myriad of processes interact with changing landscape fire regimes. Section IV looks at the human dimension and asks 1) what are the implications of expanding human populations and 2) what are the options for 'guiding' landscape fire regimes such that both wildlands and populations can adapt. We close by posing a set of key research questions for the practitioners in our field, some that follow more or less directly from the outcomes presented in this book and others that draw upon the theoretical framework presented in Chapter 1.
