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 …

The direct impacts of climate change involve a multitude of phenomena, including rising sea
levels, intensified severe weather events such as droughts and flooding, increased …

Forest fire disaster is currently the subject of intense research worldwide. The development
of accurate strategies to prevent potential impacts and minimize the occurrence of disastrous …

Predicting wildfire spread is critical for land management and disaster preparedness. To this
end, we present “Next Day Wildfire Spread,” a curated, large-scale, multivariate dataset of …

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 …

The structure and function of the boreal forest are significantly influenced by forest fires. The
ignition and growth of fires depend quite strongly on weather; thus, climate change can be …

We provide an empirical, global test of the varying constraints hypothesis, which predicts
systematic heterogeneity in the relative importance of biomass resources to burn and …

This simulation research was conducted in order to develop a large-fire risk assessment
system for the contiguous land area of the United States. The modeling system was applied …

State and federal agencies have reported fire causes since the early 1900s, explicitly for the
purpose of helping land managers design fire-prevention programs. We document fire …

In the boreal forests of interior Alaska, feedbacks that link forest soils, fire characteristics, and
plant traits have supported stable cycles of forest succession for the past 6000 years. This …
