Wildfire risks under a changing climate: Synthesized assessments of wildfire risks over southwestern China

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Wildfire events in southwestern China resulted in catastrophic loss of property and human life, and the localized wildfire risks show differentiated trends under global warming scenarios. In the case of quantitating climate impacts and localizing wildfire risks, synthesized assessments of wildfire risks of high-incident areas in southwestern China are ...

A global outlook on increasing wildfire risk: Current policy situation and future pathways

Trees, Forests and People, 2023
Aim: to understand how wildfire risk policies are designed to mitigate11 The goal of the analysis here is not to promote wildfire exclusion, but to reduce the likelihood of fire ignition and manage the growth and intensity of wildfire events. the impacts

Wildfire, climate, and perceptions in northeast Oregon [PDF]

, 2016
Wildfire poses a rising threat in the western USA, fueled by synergies between historical fire suppression, changing land use, insects and disease, and shifts toward a drier, warmer climate.

The link between perceived and actual wildfire danger: An economic and spatial analysis study in Colorado (USA) [PDF]

, 2007
Over the last 20 years, costs for wildfire initial attack in the U.S. have increased significantly. The increased cost relates to wildfire suppression practices as well as the growing number of wildland urban interface (WUI) homes.
