The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. The small typos which related to unit conversion have been corrected in this erratum.

And, the original article was also corrected.

The correct information is given below

  1. 1.

    In the “Abstract” section, the fourth sentence should read as:

We hypothesized that the physical and human factors explaining the spatial distribution of burnt areas derived from remote sensing (mostly large fires, >100 ha) will differ from those explaining site-based wildfires recorded by national agencies (mostly small fires, <10 ha).

  1. 2.

    In the “Results” section, under the heading “Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Wildfire”, the first sentence should read as:

The GIS point dataset of wildfires was mostly composed of small wildfires (91 % smaller than 10 ha), with only six wildfires larger than 1000 ha (Table S1).
