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 o
Wildfires are also recognised as one of the most significant environmental threats in Europe, where most of the burnt areas are concentrated in the Mediterranean region3. The scientific community is actively studying (through in situ observation and remote sensing) fire behavior to better identify ...
HALIFAX — After last summer's heat waves, deadly floods and record-breaking wildfires, some scientists are urging Canadian health professionals to help their patients better prepare for climate change-related extreme weather and natural disasters....
and “How will climate change impact the vegetation (in the Arctic)? More bugs? Wildfires?” Climate change was important to many cruisers, as indicated by the open-ended survey and interview responses. Many of the cruisers connected their experiences during the expedition with the onboard ...
The primary drivers of boreal ecosystem dynamics are wildfires, alongside the secondary drivers of insects, diseases, and their interactions [13]. Natural boreal forests, therefore, are not only composed of young postfire stands but also include significant proportions of old-growth stands ...
