Fire–vegetation feedbacks and alternative states: common mechanisms of temperate forest vulnerability to fire in southern South America and New Zealand
In the context of global warming and increasing impacts of invasive plants and animals, we
examine how positive fire–vegetation feedbacks are increasing the vulnerability of …

Global increase in wildfire potential from compound fire weather and drought
Wildfire can cause significant adverse impacts to society and the environment. Weather and
climate play an important role in modulating wildfire activity. We explore the joint occurrence …

Linkages between stratospheric ozone, UV radiation and climate change and their implications for terrestrial ecosystems
Exposure of plants and animals to ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B; 280–315 nm) is modified by
stratospheric ozone dynamics and climate change. Even though stabilisation and projected …

Trends and variability in the Southern Annular Mode over the Common Era
Abstract The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is the leading mode of atmospheric variability in
the extratropical Southern Hemisphere and has wide ranging effects on ecosystems and …

Fire, drought and El Niño relationships on Borneo (Southeast Asia) in the pre-MODIS era (1980–2000)
Borneo (Indonesia) is Earth's third largest island, and the location of both extensive areas of
rainforest and tropical peatlands. It is the site of both regular (seasonal) biomass burning …

Positive fire feedbacks contribute to shifts from Nothofagus pumilio forests to fire‐prone shrublands in Patagonia
Question Under climate change and increased ignitions by humans, burning of forests in
which severe fires were naturally infrequent may result in environmental changes that …

Southern Annular Mode drives multicentury wildfire activity in southern South America
The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is the main driver of climate variability at mid to high
latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere, affecting wildfire activity, which in turn pollutes the air …
