From the text ... 'In this chapter we provide an overview of the current knowledge of climatic influences on fire regimes in northern Patagonia along the gradient from temperate rain forest to steppe (see Veblen et al., Chapter 9, [Fire history and vegetation changes in Northern Patagonia, Argentina] this volume, for a description of the vegetation). We emphasive seasonal, annual, and multi-annual variability in regional climatic patterns and atmospheric circulation features. The steep west-to-east rainfall gradient from the humid Andes to the xeric steppe offers a unique opportunity for analysis of how different vegetation types respond to the same pattern of regional climatic variation.' © 2003 Springer-Verlag New York, Inc.
