One paradigm in biogeochemistry is that frequent disturbance tends to deplete carbon (C) in
soil organic matter (SOM) by reducing biomass inputs and promoting losses. However …

Fire-induced geomorphic changes, such as enhanced erosion and debris-flow activity, are
expected to increase with climate change owing to increases in fire activity and rainfall …

Erosion by wind is one of the principal processes associated with land degradation in
drylands and is a significant concern to land managers and policymakers globally. In the …

We review findings from the last decade of research on the effects of disasters, concentrating
on three important themes: the differences between the recovery of places versus people …

Hydroclimatic changes associated with global warming over the past 50 years have been
documented widely, but physical landscape responses are poorly understood thus far …

Complete and accurate burned area map data are needed to document spatial and
temporal patterns of fires, to quantify their drivers, and to assess the impacts on human and …

Severe wildfire is altering the natural and the built environment and posing risks to
environmental and societal health and well-being, including cascading impacts to water …

Deadly and destructive debris flows often follow wildfire, but understanding of changes in
the hazard potential with time since fire is poor. We develop a simulation‐based framework …

Wildfire activity in the western United States (US) has been increasing, a trend that has been
correlated with changing patterns of temperature and precipitation associated with climate …

An increasing number of wildfire disasters have occurred in recent years in the United
States. Here we demonstrate that cumulative primary human exposure—the population …
