As a result of increased inversion‐like conditions, smoke from wildfires was trapped within mountain valleys adjacent to active wildfires. In this study, wildfire smoke‐induced inversion episodes across Northern California were examined using a modeling framework that couples an atmospheric, chemical, ...
there were roughly 2 million acres of redwood trees in Northern California. These were primarily "old growth" redwoods, a term that refers to trees that have developed certain features associated with age, particularly hard, resilient bark and scars from wildfires. When Euro-Americans began settling...

CaliforniaPersistentDuring the summer of 2015, a number of large wildfires burned across Northern California in areas of localized topographic relief. Persistent valley smoke hindered fire-fighting efforts, delayed helicopter operations, and exposed communities to extreme concentrations of particulate matter....
Similarly, forests with NPP values ranging from 2500 to 5000 kg·C/m2 are defined as active fire-induced FRST-pattern, which represents an active fire-induced pattern of natural-induced wildfires in forests with high tree/shrub cover. As the climatic and hydrological conditions vary slightly in...
