Fire has a diverse range of impacts on Earth's physical and social systems. Accurate and up
to date information on areas affected by fire is critical to better understand drivers of fire …

Human impacts prior to the Industrial Revolution are not well constrained. We investigate
whether the decline in global atmospheric CO 2 concentration by 7–10 ppm in the late …

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 …

Executive summary Land and climate interact in complex ways through changes in forcing
and multiple biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks across different spatial and …

Fires have influenced atmospheric composition and climate since the rise of vascular plants,
and satellite data have shown the overall global extent of fires. Our knowledge of historic fire …

Biomass burning impacts vegetation dynamics, biogeochemical cycling, atmospheric
chemistry, and climate, with sometimes deleterious socio-economic impacts. Under future …

Fire is a complex Earth system phenomenon that fundamentally affects vegetation
distributions, biogeochemical cycling, climate, and human society across most of Earth's …

Soils are among the most valuable non-renewable resources on the Earth. They support
natural vegetation and human agro-ecosystems, represent the largest terrestrial organic …

East African landscapes today are the result of the cumulative effects of climate and land-
use change over millennial timescales. In this review, we compile archaeological and …

Recent extreme wildfire seasons in several regions have been associated with exceptionally
hot, dry conditions, made more probable by climate change. Much research has focused on …
