Wildfires mediate carbon transfer from land to lakes across boreal and temperate regions Mathilde Bélair Ian M. McCullough Jean-François Lapierre Communications Earth & Environment(2025) Increasing severity of large-scale fires prolongs recovery time of forests globally since 2001 ...
Optionally, add additional layers such asUSA Current Wildfires,Satellite (VIIRS) Thermal Hotspots and Fire Activity,orAir Now Current Air Quality Site Datato provide additional context. Use one of theArcGIS Instant Appsto create an application that can be used by anyone with just a few more clic...
The map of managed lands74was accessed through personal communication with M. Hafer and A. Dyk (the map was only created for cartographic communication purposes). The extent of land considered managed forest in Canada for the purposes of GHG reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on...
Moreover, it is vital to understand how SOC stocks respond to disturbances like wildfires and how long it takes for them to recover, especially as wildfire risk continues to increase in the north154. The relationship between the size of the SOC pool and properties like soil moisture155, soil...
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 ...
(warming water temperatures, longer open water seasons, extreme hydrological events, intensifying wildfires). Canadian rivers are especially important to the overall biogeochemistry, hydrology, biodiversity, and ultimate health of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. While each of Canada’s provinces and ...
We make recommendations for future priorities based on factors including continued expansion of the oil and gas industries, climate change resulting in increased frequency of wildfires, and land use. 2. General source categories of PACs to aquatic and terrestrial environments in Canada Berthiaume et ...
The six large wildfires in this study ranged in size from 14 000 to 700 000 ha. The soils in these regions are mostly classified as Typic Mesisols (32 sites), Orthic Gleysols (16 sites), or Orthic Grey Luvisols (8 sites) (Soil Landscapes of Canada map v.3.2). The sampled...
value these impacts. The economic impacts appear to be substantial, second only to timber losses. The approaches used in this case study can be extended to construct a map that identifies the values at risk from health effects. The use of monetary values of these impacts helps in comparison ...
alpine watershed; hydrological modeling; WaSiM; climate change; runoff trend; wildfires; remote sensing of burned areas1. Introduction The southern Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada, are an important region for the generation of freshwater runoff especially due to their contribution of melt water in...
