Warmer and drier conditions have increased the potential for large and severe fire seasons across south‐eastern Australia
Abstract Aim The aims were:(1) to identify the environmental drivers of interannual variation
in wildfire extent and severity;(2) to examine temporal trends in climatic potential for large …

Lightning as a major driver of recent large fire years in North American boreal forests
Abstract Changes in climate and fire regimes are transforming the boreal forest, the world's
largest biome. Boreal North America recently experienced two years with large burned area …

Pyrogenic organic matter production from wildfires: a missing sink in the global carbon cycle
Wildfires release substantial quantities of carbon (C) into the atmosphere but they also
convert part of the burnt biomass into pyrogenic organic matter (Py OM). This is richer in C …

[PDF][PDF] Reimagine fire science for the anthropocene
Fire is an integral component of ecosystems globally and a tool that humans have
harnessed for millennia. Altered fire regimes are a fundamental cause and consequence of …

Climatic thresholds shape northern high‐latitude fire regimes and imply vulnerability to future climate change
Boreal forests and arctic tundra cover 33% of global land area and store an estimated 50%
of total soil carbon. Because wildfire is a key driver of terrestrial carbon cycling, increasing …

Climate influences on future fire severity: a synthesis of climate-fire interactions and impacts on fire regimes, high-severity fire, and forests in the western United States
TN Wasserman, SE Mueller - Fire Ecology, 2023 - Springer
Background Increases in fire activity and changes in fire regimes have been documented in
recent decades across the western United States. Climate change is expected to continue to …

The Arctic carbon cycle and its response to changing climate
Abstract Purpose of Review The Arctic has experienced the most rapid change in climate of
anywhere on Earth, and these changes are certain to drive changes in the carbon budget of …

Influences of fire–vegetation feedbacks and post‐fire recovery rates on forest landscape vulnerability to altered fire regimes
In the context of ongoing climatic warming, forest landscapes face increasing risk of
conversion to non‐forest vegetation through alteration of their fire regimes and their post‐fire …

[PDF][PDF] Shifting social-ecological fire regimes explain increasing structure loss from Western wildfires
Abstract Structure loss is an acute, costly impact of the wildfire crisis in the western
conterminous United States (“West”), motivating the need to understand recent trends and …
