Human-caused fire occurrence modelling in perspective: a review
S Costafreda-Aumedes, C Comas… - International Journal of …, 2017 - CSIRO Publishing
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 …

Fire-regime changes in Canada over the last half century
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 …

Soil bacterial and fungal response to wildfires in the Canadian boreal forest across a burn severity gradient
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 …

Increasing frequency of extreme fire weather in Canada with climate change
X Wang, DK Thompson, GA Marshall, C Tymstra… - Climatic Change, 2015 - Springer
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 …

A refinement of models projecting future Canadian fire regimes using homogeneous fire regime zones
Y Boulanger, S Gauthier… - Canadian Journal of Forest …, 2014 - cdnsciencepub.com
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 …

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

Variability and drivers of burn severity in the northwestern Canadian boreal forest
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 …

Attributing extreme fire risk in Western Canada to human emissions
MC Kirchmeier-Young, FW Zwiers, NP Gillett… - Climatic Change, 2017 - Springer
Canada is expected to see an increase in fire risk under future climate projections. Large
