  • Are there lightning fires in the Brazilian Amazon

    Open AccessCunhui Zhang, Thomas Albert Jacobus Janssen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2026

    The Brazilian Amazon contains approximately 40% of the world’s tropical rainforest and plays a critical role in preserving biodiversity and regulating water, energy and carbon cycles. However, deforestation and increasingly frequent droughts, heatwaves and wildfires threaten these rainforests. Amazonian fires are generally assumed to be entirely anthropogenic, which has led to lightning-ignited fires being underexplored. Here, we present the firs…

  • Global and Regional Trends and Drivers of Fire Under Climate Change

    Open AccessMatthew W Jones, John T Abatzoglou et al.ARTICLEReviews of Geophysics2022

    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. Here, we review current understanding of the impacts of climate change on fire weather (weather conditions conducive to the ignition and spread of wildfires) and the consequences for regional fire activity as mediated by a range of other bioclimatic facto…

  • Multi-stakeholder analysis of fire risk reduction in a densely populated area in the Netherlands

    Open AccessEvelien De Hoop, Hilde Brouwers et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Reducing the climate change-induced risk of uncontrollable fires in landscapes under nature management, with severe impacts on landscape and society, is particularly urgent in densely-populated and fragmented areas. Reducing fire risk in such areas requires active involvement of a wide diversity of stakeholders. This research letter investigates stakeholders’ needs with regard to fire risk reduction in the Veluwe area in the Netherlands. This den…

  • Future increases in lightning ignition efficiency and wildfire occurrence expected from drier fuels in boreal forest ecosystems of western North America

    Open AccessThomas D Hessilt, John T Abatzoglou et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Lightning-induced fire is the primary disturbance agent in boreal forests. Recent large fire years have been linked to anomalously high numbers of lightning-caused fire starts, yet the mechanisms regulating the probability of lightning ignition remain uncertain and limit our ability to project future changes. Here, we investigated the influence of lightning properties, landscape characteristics, and fire weather on lightning ignition efficiency—t…

  • Overwintering fires rising in eastern Siberia

    Open AccessWenxuan Xu, Rebecca C Scholten et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Overwintering fires are a historically rare phenomenon but may become more prevalent in the warming boreal region. Overwintering fires have been studied to a limited extent in boreal North America; however, their role and contribution to fire regimes in Siberia are still largely unknown. Here, for the first time, we quantified the proportion of overwintering fires and their burned areas in Yakutia, eastern Siberia, using fire, lightning, and infr…

  • Bottom-up drivers of future fire regimes in western boreal North America

    Open AccessAdrianna Foster, J K Shuman et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Forest characteristics, structure, and dynamics within the North American boreal region are heavily influenced by wildfire intensity, severity, and frequency. Increasing temperatures are likely to result in drier conditions and longer fire seasons, potentially leading to more intense and frequent fires. However, an increase in deciduous forest cover is also predicted across the region, potentially decreasing flammability. In this study, we use an…

  • Identification of two distinct fire regimes in Southern California

    Open AccessYufang Jin, Michael L Goulden et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    The area burned by Southern California wildfires has increased in recent decades, with implications for human health, infrastructure, and ecosystem management. Meteorology and fuel structure are universally recognized controllers of wildfire, but their relative importance, and hence the efficacy of abatement and suppression efforts, remains controversial. Southern California's wildfires can be partitioned by meteorology: fires typically occur eit…
