The direct impacts of climate change involve a multitude of phenomena, including rising sea
levels, intensified severe weather events such as droughts and flooding, increased …

Wildland fire is a global phenomenon, and a result of interactions between climate–weather,
fuels and people. Our climate is changing rapidly primarily through the release of …

Forest fire disaster is currently the subject of intense research worldwide. The development
of accurate strategies to prevent potential impacts and minimize the occurrence of disastrous …

Predicting wildfire spread is critical for land management and disaster preparedness. To this
end, we present “Next Day Wildfire Spread,” a curated, large-scale, multivariate dataset of …

Many forest types globally have been subject to an increase in the frequency of, and area
burnt by, high‐severity wildfire. Here we explore the role that previous disturbance has …

Abstract Changes in climate and fire regimes are transforming the boreal forest, the world's
largest biome. Boreal North America recently experienced two years with large burned area …

This simulation research was conducted in order to develop a large-fire risk assessment
system for the contiguous land area of the United States. The modeling system was applied …

We provide an empirical, global test of the varying constraints hypothesis, which predicts
systematic heterogeneity in the relative importance of biomass resources to burn and …

In recent years, the pan-Arctic region has experienced increasingly extreme fire seasons.
Fires in the northern high latitudes are driven by current and future climate change, lightning …

The structure and function of the boreal forest are significantly influenced by forest fires. The
ignition and growth of fires depend quite strongly on weather; thus, climate change can be …
