Fire is the major stand-renewing disturbance in the circumboreal forest. Weather and climate are the most important factors influencing fire activity and these factors are changing due to human-caused climate change. This paper discusses and synthesises the current state of fire and climate change ...
Climate change threatens the health and survival of urban trees and the various benefits they deliver to urban inhabitants. Here, we show that 56% and 65% of species in 164 cities across 78 countries are currently exceeding temperature and precipitation
Thus, forest fires could be viewed as an agent of change for US forests as the fire regime will respond rapidly to climate warming. This change in the fire regime has the potential to overshadow the direct effects of climate change on species distribution and migration. 展开 关键词:...
The Gospers Mountain fire near Sydney has burned more than 510,000 ha since ignition by lightning on 26 October 2019; it is the largest forest fire recorded in Australia and continues to burn in late January 2020. Eastern Australia’s temperate broadleaf forests, dominated by eucalypts, are ...
Sweden's wetlands have been largely diminished over the last century, in a large part due to the forestry industry, products of which remain one of Sweden's biggest exports. "This has meant that the forest has become drier and more sensitive to fire," Hasse Berglund, biologist and section ...

British Columbia has engaged in fire suppression techniques since 1912 (British Columbia Forest Service, 2010). As a result large amounts of fuel build-up have resulted in many areas of our forests which must be managed. Climate change is expected to create a number of changes for the charact...
"In my opinion, those fires are absolutely consistent with climate change but it is confusing (to some people) because this is fire season, so in one sense it is not unusual to have fires burning. There is drought but there have been drought before. There are strong wind but there have...
“We are not just glimpsing climate change, it’s being shoved in our faces,” said Jean-Luc Gleyze, president of the Gironde département around Bordeaux. He told the French newspaper Le Monde that the big fire at Landiras south of the city was “a monster”. ...
Forest fire activity and air quality under a changing climate are considered one of the main threats to sustainable development. The interaction between the climate, the forest fire activity and the air quality over Portugal is the main purpose of this study.;The relationship between the weather,...
