Global and regional trends and drivers of fire under climate change
Recent wildfire outbreaks around the world have prompted concern that climate change is
increasing fire incidence, threatening human livelihood and biodiversity, and perpetuating …

Increasing frequency and intensity of the most extreme wildfires on Earth
Climate change is exacerbating wildfire conditions, but evidence is lacking for global trends
in extreme fire activity itself. Here we identify energetically extreme wildfire events by …

Spatial and temporal expansion of global wildland fire activity in response to climate change
Global warming is expected to alter wildfire potential and fire season severity, but the
magnitude and location of change is still unclear. Here, we show that climate largely …
