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

The impacts of escalating wildfire in many regions—the lives and homes lost, the expense of
suppression and the damage to ecosystem services—necessitate a more sustainable …

Fire activity in Australia is strongly affected by high inter-annual climate variability and
extremes. Through changes in the climate, anthropogenic climate change has the potential …

Humans and their ancestors are unique in being a fire‐making species, but 'natural'(ie
independent of humans) fires have an ancient, geological history on Earth. Natural fires …

Fire shapes the distribution of savanna and forest through complex interactions involving
climate, resources and species traits. Based on data from central Brazil, we propose that …

The early months of 2020 showed record-breaking levels of aerosol optical depth (AOD)
over the Southern Hemisphere (SH). Apart from the tropics, monthly AOD values over most …

Across the globe, rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns have caused
persistent regional droughts, lengthened fire seasons, and increased the number of weather …

Wildland fire is a global phenomenon, and a result of interactions between climate–weather,

Aim Patterns of fire regimes across Australia exhibit biogeographic variation in response to
four processes. Variations in area burned and fire frequency result from differences in the …

The factors controlling the extent of fire in Africa south of the equator were investigated using
moderate resolution (500 m) satellite‐derived burned area maps and spatial data on the …
