Whether ignited by lightning or by Native Americans, fire once shaped many North American ecosystems. Euro-American settlement and 20th-century fire suppression practices drastically altered historic fire regimes, leading to excessive fuel accumulation and uncharacteristically sever...
Air pollution is a global health challenge and a leading cause of early death, contributing to lung cancer development even among non-smokers [25]. Wildfires, which generate high concentrations of toxic particulate matter from burning biomass and man-made materials, affect both firefighters and the ...
Over the last decades, evidence has accumulated that there are persistent imprints on understory vegetation diversity[53] by anthropogenic disturbances, e.g., thinning[10], invasive species[54], and wildfires[55], as well as climate change, e.g., drought[56], warming[57], and acidifying ...
Is the Gulf Stream going to collapse? TheGulf Streamis a warm ocean current that runs from the coast of Florida and up to North Carolina, where it then diverts and goes across the Atlantic. It's also part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The latest study makes no mention...

pleasure. We’ll head towards Mariposa, near Yosemite National Park and through Calaveras County (remember Mark Twain’s famous frog? Well, that’s the place), where one of the year’s largest wildfires is just winding down. Why, you can still see the haze and savor the wood smoke in ...
Interactions between various natural and anthropogenic disturbances or “compounded” disturbances (e.g., salvage logging after a windstorm or wildfires) are currently determining landscape heterogeneity, and patterns and processes that are evident in the US forests [15,16]. Insects and diseases, both...
