Wildland fire is a global phenomenon, and a result of interactions between climate–weather,
fuels and people. Our climate is changing rapidly primarily through the release of …

Despite increasing concern about wildland fire risk in Canada, there is little synthesis of
knowledge that could contribute to the development of a comprehensive risk framework for a …

We used Cumulative Severity Rating (CSR), a weather-based fire danger metric, to examine
the potential influence of climate change on global fire season severity. The potential …

Fire is a ubiquitous component of the Earth system that is poorly understood. To date, a
global-scale understanding of fire is largely limited to the annual extent of burning as …

Roughly 3% of the Earth's land surface burns annually, representing a critical exchange of
energy and matter between the land and atmosphere via combustion. Fires range from slow …

The purpose of this paper is to quantify climatic controls on the area burned by fire in
different vegetation types in the western United States. We demonstrate that wildfire area …

Increased wildfire activity (eg number of starts, area burned, fire behaviour) across the
western United States in recent decades has heightened interest in resolving climate–fire …

We examined direct and indirect impacts of millennial‐scale climate change on fire regimes
in the south‐central Brooks Range, Alaska, USA, using four lake sediment records and …

Recent, high-resolution palaeoecological records are changing the traditional picture of post-
glacial vegetation succession in the Iberian Peninsula. In addition to the influence of …

Forest disturbance and recovery are critical ecosystem processes, but the spatial pattern of
disturbance has never been mapped across North America. The LEDAPS (Landsat …
