Where the global average burned area has decreased in the past two decades, higher correlations of rates of change in burning to human population density, cropland area and livestock density than to precipitation indicate that agricultural expansion and intensification were the main causes . The global decrease of fire frequency from 2000 to 2010 is correlated with increasing human population density . The fire-reducing effect of reduced vegetation cover following expansion of agriculture and livestock herding can counteract the fire-increasing effect of the increased heat and drying associated with climate change . The reduced burning needed after the initial clearing for agricultural expansion drives much of the decline in fires in the Tropics . The human influence on fire ignition can be seen through the decrease documented on holy days  and traditional religious days of rest . Overall, human land use exerts an influence on wildfire trends for global terrestrial area as a whole that can be stronger than climate change .
