Climate change has been partially mitigated by an increasing net land carbon sink in the
terrestrial biosphere; understanding the processes that drive this sink is thus essential for …

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

Climate change is exacerbating wildfire conditions, but evidence is lacking for global trends
in extreme fire activity itself. Here we identify energetically extreme wildfire events by …

Over the last decades, the natural disturbance is increasingly putting pressure on European
forests. Shifts in disturbance regimes may compromise forest functioning and the continuous …

Abstract Purpose of Review Carbon sequestration and storage in forest ecosystems is often
promoted as a solution for reducing CO 2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Yet, our …

Vegetation fires are an essential component of the Earth system but can also cause
substantial economic losses, severe air pollution, human mortality and environmental …

Increases in burned area across the western United States (US) since the mid‐1980s have
been widely documented and linked partially to climate factors, yet evaluations of trends in …

There is mounting concern that global wildfire activity is shifting in frequency, intensity, and
seasonality in response to climate change. Fuel moisture provides a powerful means of …

Extreme fire seasons characterised by very large'mega-fires' have demonstrably increased
area burnt across forested regions globally. However, the effect of extreme fire seasons on …

Many terrestrial ecosystems are fire prone, such that their composition and structure are
largely due to their fire regime. Regions subject to regular fire have exceptionally high levels …
