[HTML][HTML] Projected increases in western US forest fire despite growing fuel constraints
Escalating burned area in western US forests punctuated by the 2020 fire season has
heightened the need to explore near-term macroscale forest-fire area trajectories. As fires …

Ecosystem services provided by marine and freshwater phytoplankton
Phytoplankton, the ecological group of microalgae adapted to live in apparent suspension in
water masses, is much more than an ecosystem's engineer. In this opinion paper, we use …

Climate change increases risk of extreme rainfall following wildfire in the western United States
Post-wildfire extreme rainfall events can have destructive impacts in the western United
States. Using two climate model large ensembles, we assess the future risk of extreme fire …

Wildfire impacts on surface water quality parameters: Cause of data variability and reporting needs
Surface runoff mobilizes the burned residues and ashes produced during wildfires and
deposits them in surface waters, thereby deteriorating water quality. A lack of a consistent …

[PDF][PDF] Shifting social-ecological fire regimes explain increasing structure loss from Western wildfires
Abstract Structure loss is an acute, costly impact of the wildfire crisis in the western
conterminous United States (“West”), motivating the need to understand recent trends and …

From burned slopes to streams: how wildfire affects nitrogen cycling and retention in forests and fire-prone watersheds
Wildfire is a major driver of nitrogen (N) cycling and export from terrestrial to aquatic
systems. While fire is a natural process in many watersheds, it can still degrade water quality …

Does hot and dry equal more wildfire? Contrasting short‐and long‐term climate effects on fire in the Sierra Nevada, CA
Climate and wildfire are closely linked. Climate regulates wildfire directly over short
timescales through its effect on fuel aridity and indirectly over long timescales through …

A review of speleothems as archives for paleofire proxies, with Australian case studies
Wildfires affect 40% of the earth's terrestrial biome, but much of our knowledge of wildfire
activity is limited to the satellite era. Improved understanding of past fires is necessary to …
