The warming of the global climate system is expected to result in significant socio-economic
stress, primarily through the occurrence of extreme weather and climate events, with the …

Levels of fire activity and severity that are unprecedented in the instrumental record have
recently been observed in forested regions around the world. Using a large sample of daily …

Wildfire is a common phenomenon in Mediterranean countries but the 2022 fire season has
been extreme in southwest Europe (Portugal, Spain and France). Here we provide a …

Area burned has decreased across Europe in recent decades. This trend may, however,
reverse under ongoing climate change, particularly in areas not limited by fuel availability (ie …

This study quantifies how changes in temperature and precipitation would influence the
intensity and duration of extreme fires across Europe. The analysis explores the impact of a …

Studies have identified elevation-dependent warming trends, but investigations of such
trends in fire danger are absent in the literature. Here, we demonstrate that while there have …

Large forest fires have far-reaching impacts on the environment, human health,
infrastructure and the economy. Forest fires become large when all forest types across a …

The live fuel moisture content (LFMC) is an important precondition for wildfire activity, yet it
remains challenging to predict LFMC due to the dynamic interplay between atmospheric and …

Fuel moisture content (FMC) is a crucial driver of forest fires in many regions world‐wide.
Yet, the dynamics of FMC in forest canopies as well as their physiological and …

Wildland fire is expected to increase in response to global warming, yet little is known about
future changes to fire regimes in Europe. Here, we developed a pyrogeography based on …
