The increasing global concern about wildfires, mostly caused by people, has triggered the
development of human-caused fire occurrence models in many countries. The premise is …

Contemporary fire regimes of Canadian forests have been well documented based on forest
fire records between the late 1950s to 1990s. Due to known limitations of fire datasets, an …

Global fire regimes are changing, with increases in wildfire frequency and severity expected
for many North American forests over the next 100 years. Fires can result in dramatic …

In Canadian forests, the majority of burned area occurs on a small number of days of
extreme fire weather. These days lie within the tail end of the distribution of fire weather, and …

Broad-scale fire regime modelling is frequently based on large ecological and (or)
administrative units. However, these units may not capture spatial heterogeneity in fire …

Climate‐induced vegetation change may be delayed in the absence of disturbance
catalysts. However, increases in wildfire activity may accelerate these transitions in many …

Burn severity (ecological impacts of fire on vegetation and soils) influences post‐fire stand
structure and species composition. The spatial pattern of burn severity may compound the …

Destruction of human-built structures occurs in the 'wildland–urban interface'(WUI)–where
homes or other burnable community structures meet with or are interspersed within wildland …

In the face of climate change, predicting and understanding future fire regimes across
Canada is a high priority for wildland fire research and management. Due in large part to the …

Canada is expected to see an increase in fire risk under future climate projections. Large
fires, such as that near Fort McMurray, Alberta in 2016, can be devastating to the …
