Climate, ecosystems, and planetary futures: The challenge to predict life in Earth system models
BACKGROUND Earth system models (ESMs) simulate physical, chemical, and biological
processes that underlie climate and are the most complex in a hierarchy of models of Earth's …

African burned area and fire carbon emissions are strongly impacted by small fires undetected by coarse resolution satellite data
Fires are a major contributor to atmospheric budgets of greenhouse gases and aerosols,
affect soils and vegetation properties, and are a key driver of land use change. Since the …
