In the seasonally dry continental Southeast Asia, anthropogenic vegetation fires have been an essential part of the ecosystem
dynamics for thousands of years (Maxwell, 2004). In these areas forest ecosystems are nowadays often fire tolerant and
repeated fires do not lead to degradation in short term. However, it is likely that over the past thousands of years, the increased
anthropogenic fire frequency has caused changes in vegetation types favouring more fire tolerant vegetation (Stott,
1988; Corlett, 2009). Fires are mainly used for either preparation of shifting cultivation fields in denser forests or clearance
of ground layer vegetation in open forests (Maxwell, 2004).
