A survival guide for assessing global fire risks to natural and human systems
Compared to tropical cyclones and floods, wildfires have historically been regarded as a secondary peril, which has contributed to the lack of a systemic perspective on global wildfire risk — an understanding increasingly required in disaster risk reduction. This gap is aggravated by the complex and interlinked climatic and anthropogenic drivers of wildfire occurrence, and the diverse and often difficult to interpret landscape of satellite-derive…
Future increases in lightning ignition efficiency and wildfire occurrence expected from drier fuels in boreal forest ecosystems of western North America
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
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…
