The 2023 Canadian forest fires have been extreme in scale and intensity with more than seven times the average annual area burned compared to the previous four decades1. Here, we quantify the carbon emissions from these fires from May to September 2023 on the basis of inverse modelling of sate...

Forest fires have a major impact on Canada's forest carbon balance. National level simulations are used to gauge the potential impact of forest management, climate and other important factors on the carbon balance. In this process a joint simulation of the area burned in 29 Canadian forest fire...
Similarly, mild fires can increase susceptibility to insects and pathogens, while intense, stand-replacing fires can break the cycle by removing hosts95,111. Windthrow often paves the way for bark beetle infestations, and drought further intensifies all these disturbances by weakening vegetation ...
Fig. 2. Flow chart of spatial extreme model development, prediction and simulation for daily maximum temperature in the Canadian Prairies. 2.1.1. Dataset description Daily annual extreme temperature data was extracted from the Global Historical Climatology Network (NOAA, 2023). This is an integrated...
