  • Pushed to the edges? Electivity patterns of urban stream homeless encampments in environmentally burdened areas

    Open AccessSerena Alexander, Bennett Williamson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Affairs2026

    Urban stream corridors in the San Francisco Bay Area have increasingly become locations for homeless encampments, yet little is known about the environmental conditions of these spaces. This study uses a geospatial electivity index to examine whether urban stream encampments in Santa Clara and Contra Costa counties are disproportionately located in census tracts with high pollution burdens, as measured by CalEnviroScreen 4.0. Findings show a stat…

  • Spatial patterns and drivers for wildfire ignitions in California

    Open AccessBin Chen, Бин Чэн et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    As a key component of wildfire activities, ignition is regulated by complex interactions among climate, fuel, topography, and humans. Considerable studies have advanced our knowledge on patterns and drivers of total areas burned and fire frequency, but much is less known about wildfire ignition. To better design effective fire prevention and management strategies, it is critical to understand contemporary ignition patterns and predict the probabi…

  • Regional differences in the response of California’s rangeland production to climate and future projection

    Open AccessLiu Han, Yufang Jin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Rangelands support many important ecosystem services and are highly sensitive to climate change. Understanding temporal dynamics in rangeland gross primary production (GPP) and how it may change under projected future climate, including more frequent and severe droughts, is critical for ranching communities to cope with future changes. Herein, we examined how climate regulates the interannual variability of GPP in California’s diverse annual rang…

  • Disproportionate Impacts of Wildfires among Elderly and Low-Income Communities in California from 2000–2020

    Open AccessShahir Masri, Erica Scaduto et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Wildfires can be detrimental to urban and rural communities, causing impacts in the form of psychological stress, direct physical injury, and smoke-related morbidity and mortality. This study examined the area burned by wildfires over the entire state of California from the years 2000 to 2020 in order to quantify and identify whether burned area and fire frequency differed across Census tracts according to socioeconomic indicators over time. Wild…

  • Intensified burn severity in California’s northern coastal mountains by drier climatic condition

    Open AccessYuhan Huang, Yufang Jin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    The severity of wildfire burns in interior lands of western US ecosystems has been increasing. However, less is known about its coastal mountain ecosystems, especially under extreme weather conditions, raising concerns about the vulnerability of these populated areas to catastrophic fires. Here we examine the fine-scale association between burn severity and a suite of environmental drivers including explicit fuel information, weather, climate, an…

  • Understanding spatial variability of forage production in California grasslands

    Open AccessLiu Han, Yufang Jin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Rangelands are a key global resource, providing a broad range of ecological services and economic benefits. California’s predominantly annual rangelands cover ∼12% of the state’s land area, and the forage production is highly heterogeneous, making balancing economic (grazing), conservation (habitat) and environmental (erosion/water quality) objectives a big challenge. Herein, we examined how climate and environmental factors regulate annual grass…

  • Global cost estimates of forest climate mitigation with albedo

    Open AccessAlice Favero, Brent Sohngen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Climate change mitigation policies have usually considered forest-based actions as cheap and fast options to reduce CO _2 concentration in the atmosphere and slow down global warming. Most economic analyses, however, have ignored the effects of these actions on land surface albedo and the resulting effect on energy balance and temperature. This study estimates the marginal cost of forest mitigation associated with both carbon sequestration and al…

  • 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…

  • Global fire emissions and the contribution of deforestation, savanna, forest, agricultural, and peat fires (1997–2009)

    Open AccessGuido R van der Werf, James T Randerson et al.ARTICLEAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics2010

    New burned area datasets and top-down constraints from atmospheric concentration measurements of pyrogenic gases have decreased the large uncertainty in fire emissions estimates. However, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the contribution of deforestation, savanna, forest, agricultural waste, and peat fires to total global fire emissions. Here we used a revised version of the Carnegie-Ames-Stanford-Approach (CASA) biogeochemical mod…
