The extent of drought determines daily area burned in Canadian forests
Annual or seasonal wildfire burned area has been frequently and successfully estimated by models in fire research; daily area burned (DAB) over a region, however, has never been effectively modeled due to its high variability. This study identified for the first time a strong relationship between DAB and the spatial extent of fire-conducive weather conditions, especially measured by fuel aridity, in Canadian forests. Observations between 2001 and…
Mapping wildfire hazard, vulnerability, and risk to Canadian communities
The role of fuel treatments in mitigating wildfire risk
Climate change has led to longer fire seasons and more intense wildfires worldwide and has caused substantial economic and environmental impacts in recent years. This challenge motivates an improvement in fuel treatment to balance between wildfire risk reduction and ecosystem protection. While fuel treatments have been widely applied to reduce wildfire occurrence and spread for a long time, the relationship between their design and effectiveness …
One extreme fire weather event determines the extent and frequency of wildland fires
Understanding climate change impacts on wildland fire activity has been constrained by the high uncertainty embedded in the prediction of fire size (FS), annual number of fires (ANF), and annual area burned (AAB). While there has been a sustained effort to make connections between fire weather and fire activity, most studies have focused on individual parameters instead of treating them as a connected group. This study explores the intrinsic rela…
Projected changes in fire size from daily spread potential in Canada over the 21st century
The broad consensus indicates that climate change will cause larger and more frequent fires, resulting in a growing annual area burned (AAB) in much of Canada. Our ability to predict future changes in fire size (FS) and AAB is limited due to the uncertainty embedded in climate change models and our inability to quantify the complex interactions between the changing environment and fire activity. In this study, we introduce a new method to predict…
Projected changes in daily fire spread across Canada over the next century
In the face of climate change, predicting and understanding future fire regimes across Canada is a high priority for wildland fire research and management. Due in large part to the difficulties in obtaining future daily fire weather projections, one of the major challenges in predicting future fire activity is to estimate how much of the change in weather potential could translate into on-the-ground fire spread. As a result, past studies have use…
