A map updated daily by the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centreshowshow widespread the 2023 wildfires have become. Eastern provinces like Quebec, Ontario and Nova Scotia have been hit particularly hard this year by large and at times uncontrollable blazes. Officials on Wednesday reported 374 active...
Threats to Western Canadian oil output recede as wildfires under control, rail strike delayedWestern Canadian oil, NGLs and natural gas producers continued May 16 to monitor the situation as the the dual threats of a raging wildfire and an impending railroad strike receded. "We keep an eye on...
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 ...
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...
Data is also distributed unevenly in time, with 70% of the records falling in the wet season and the remaining 30% in the dry season (the most relevant in the context of wildfires). ERA-Interim performs particularly well in Europe, as a result, the FWI validation shows low biases and ...
As wildfires become more frequent, they accelerate permafrost thaw, and in turn, thawing permafrost contributes to conditions that promote further fire95. Drier soils and the increased likelihood of peat burning create a feedback loop that exacerbates drought and enhances vulnerability to root pathogens...
(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 ...
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...
(2126 years old), and <F"Times">the four others originated from wildfires (80 years old). Nonlinear ageheight analyses were used to compare annual height and radial increment growth of black spruce (Picea mariana(Mill.) BSP), jack pine (Pinus banksianaLamb.), and trembling aspen ...
First, we calculate the hourly FFMC withhffmcfunction, and then use eitherfbporfbpRasterto finish the calculations (Table2c). We can then map a few key fire behavior measurements from the outputs (Fig.6): head fire intensity (HFI), equilibrium head fire rate of spread (ROS), and total...
