In the south, where our case study region is located, shrublands were transformed to oak woodlands and agricultural lands during the first half of the twentieth century, after which both oak woodlands and forest plantations have increased, as did high severity wildfire more recently (Oliveira et ...
The Arctic consists of an ocean surrounded by the northern fringes of the Eurasian and North American landmasses. Its southern limits are defined variously as the Arctic Circle at 66° northern latitude, the treeline, the July 10 °C isothermFootnote1or permafrost extent. But jurisdictional, admin...
2.2.3 Wildfire Effects Wildfire induces immediate and often major changes to hydrologic responses of a watershed. Vegetation mortality can include roots burning at depth within the soil, and burned soils commonly become hydrophobic (water repellent); together, these factors reduce infiltration, promoting...
All calculations were carried out using ArcMap Version 10.5.1. Step 1: we spatially located the management of grasslands using the Corine Land Cover (CLC) dataset and the Copernicus High-Resolution Layer (HRL) for natural and semi-natural grasslands (see Table 1). As the resolution of HRL ...
Coupled map lattices have been used to address a broad range of ecological, and eco-evolutionary questions. For example, they have been used to simulate the range expansion of species responding to climate change over a complex landscape [64]. Integrodifference Equations Another important class of...

The latter emissions depend on the interplay among climate, land use and land use conversion, wildfire suppression [60–62], and agricultural practices. Uncertainty in nitrogen budgets may also arise from neglecting organic nitrogen species [51]. Satellite measurements have been interpreted to deduce ...
A Roadmap Towards Improved Constraints on Aerosol Absorption In this review, we have defined a constraint as an agreement between observational and theoretical/model-based estimates of aerosol absorption, combined with an understanding of why the two are similar. At present, the field cannot provide...
We used a 250 m resolution map of the United States forest types [54] (https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/rastergateway/forest_type/ (accessed on 10 June 2022)) to investigate the Lightning Ignition Efficiency (LIE; i.e., the number of fires ignited per lightning) in the main forest ...
