A warmer planet doesn’t just raise temperatures. From wildfires to flooding to coral bleaching, here are some real-world implications.
Furthermore, climate change is exacerbating the occurrence and intensity of wildfires in many parts of the world. Warmer temperatures and changing precipitation patterns create drier conditions, which are more conducive to the ignition and spread of wildfires. These fires not only destroy forests and ...
Results of field studies and modelling efforts indicate that changing climate is likely to increase the extent and frequency of wildfires, highlighting the importance of accurately quantifying the regional and global effects of wildfire on carbon stocks and on atmospheric carbon compounds. The nature ...
2. The main aim of this study was to analyse the effects of single and repeated fires on the structure and species diversity of spider communities in chestnut forests in southern Switzerland. A second objective was to interpret the ecological response of forest-floor habitats to wildfires, using...
Wildfires reduce soil CO2 concentration by destroying vegetation and soil-dwelling microbes, thus reducing soil respiration. Post-fire vegetation recovery is primarily determined by vegetation growth forms and modes of regeneration, whereas long-term recovery of soil microbes is largely dependent on vegeta...

Causes, effects and solutions of environmental pollution: Pollution is the contamination of the environment by introduction of contaminants that cause damage to environment and harm or discomfort to humans or other living species.
The debris can affect the thermal and chemical state of the atmosphere, for example altering its ability to screen ozone, facilitating acid rain and, in the case of Earth when temperatures are high enough, generating wildfires after vegetation had evolved. Environmental effects can occur without ...
"When looking at the cost of wildfires, you also have to account for the cost to human health," Fu said. "Although there is consistent evidence for the associations betweenwildfireevents and disease, there have been very few studies using the method on the human health impact of wildfire smo...
