I am working on a project to assess climate effect on forest fire severity and occurrence. I am considering using cooling degree days (CDD) as the climate change index. The premise is that projected increases in cooling degree days (CDD) should impact the occurrence (and to some degree, severity) of wild/forest fire outbreaks. Does this premise make sense.? Are there any works on how cooling degree days (CDD) impact forest fire outcomes and behaviors? I can't seem to locate any specific works on this topic. Any help/recommendations would be appreciated
