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

BACKGROUND Forests have considerable potential to help mitigate human-caused climate
change and provide society with a broad range of cobenefits. Local, national, and …

Since the publication of the compilation of biomass burning emission factors by Andreae
and Merlet (2001), a large number of studies have greatly expanded the amount of available …

Satellites have detected a global decline in burned area of grassland, coincident with a
small increase in burned forest area. These contrasting trends have been reported in earlier …

The air quality impact of increased wildfires in a warming climate has often been overlooked
in current model projections, owing to the lack of interactive fire emissions of gases and …

Long-term records of burned area are needed to understand wildfire dynamics, assess fire
impacts on ecosystems and air quality, and improve fire forecasts. Here we fuse multiple …

In an increasingly flammable world, wildfire is altering the terrestrial carbon balance.
However, the degree to which novel wildfire regimes disrupt biological function remains …

Reliable projections of wildfire and associated socioeconomic risks are crucial for the
development of efficient and effective adaptation and mitigation strategies. The lack of or …

Recently identified post-fire carbon fluxes indicate that, to understand whether global fires
represent a net carbon source or sink, one must consider both terrestrial carbon retention …

The observed global net land carbon sink is captured by current land models. All models
agree that atmospheric CO2 and nitrogen deposition driven gains in carbon stocks are …
