Recent wildfire outbreaks around the world have prompted concern that climate change is
increasing fire incidence, threatening human livelihood and biodiversity, and perpetuating …

Fire is an integral Earth system process, playing an important role in the distribution of
terrestrial ecosystems and affecting the carbon cycle at the global scale. Fire activity is …

Global warming is expected to alter wildfire potential and fire season severity, but the
magnitude and location of change is still unclear. Here, we show that climate largely …

Climate strongly influences global wildfire activity, and recent wildfire surges may signal fire
weather-induced pyrogeographic shifts. Here we use three daily global climate data sets …

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 …

Vegetation fires are an essential component of the Earth system but can also cause
substantial economic losses, severe air pollution, human mortality and environmental …

Climate change is expected to alter the geographic distribution of wildfire, a complex abiotic
process that responds to a variety of spatial and environmental gradients. How future climate …

Recent bursts in the incidence of large wildfires worldwide have raised concerns about the
influence climate change and humans might have on future fire activity. Comparatively little …

No single factor produces wildfires; rather, they occur when fire thresholds (ignitions, fuels,
and drought) are crossed. Anomalous weather events may lower these thresholds and …

Disastrous bushfires during the last months of 2019 and January 2020 affected Australia,
raising the question to what extent the risk of these fires was exacerbated by anthropogenic …
