Wildfires on a changing planet [PDF]

Nature Communications
The distribution of wildfires on Earth will change as climate, land-use, and vegetation change. We use global empirical models of burnt area, fire size and fire intensity to explore future wildfire trajectories under ~1.5 and 3-4 °C warming with middle ...

The Kananaskis Wildfire Charter: a good start [PDF]

Nature Communications
The Kananaskis Wildfire Charter marks an important step toward addressing increasingly extreme wildfires. Attending to complex drivers, supporting Indigenous and local fire stewardship, and shifting toward integrated fire management will help ensure ...

A study of the effect of aerosols on surface ozone through meteorology feedbacks over China [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021
Interactions between aerosols and gases in the atmosphere have been the focus of an increasing number of studies in recent years. Here, we focus on aerosol effects on tropospheric ozone that involve meteorological feedbacks induced by aerosol–radiation ...

WILDFIRES AS A FACTOR OF LOSS OF BIODIVERSITY AND FOREST ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONS

Вопросы лесной науки, 2022
Due to the ever-increasing anthropogenic impact and global climate change, wildfires are becoming more frequent and intense all over the world. The wildfire factor is turning into an acute problem for forested countries that requires prompt solutions as ...

The importance of antecedent vegetation and drought conditions as global drivers of burnt area [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2021
The seasonal and longer-term dynamics of fuel accumulation affect fire seasonality and the occurrence of extreme wildfires. Failure to account for their influence may help to explain why state-of-the-art fire models do not simulate the length and timing ...

The gathering firestorm in southern Amazonia. [PDF]

, 2020
Wildfires, exacerbated by extreme weather events and land use, threaten to change the Amazon from a net carbon sink to a net carbon source. Here, we develop and apply a coupled ecosystem-fire model to quantify how greenhouse gas-driven drying and warming

Modelling Human-Fire Interactions: Combining Alternative Perspectives and Approaches

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Although it has long been recognised that human activities affect fire regimes, the interactions between humans and fire are complex, imperfectly understood, constantly evolving, and lacking any kind of integrative global framework.

The response of wildfire regimes to Last Glacial Maximum carbon dioxide and climate [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2023
Climate and fuel availability jointly control the incidence of wildfires. The effects of atmospheric CO2 on plant growth influence fuel availability independently of climate, but the relative importance of each in driving large-scale changes in wildfire ...
