Climate warming has caused a widespread increase in extreme fire weather, making forest fires longer-lived and larger1–3. The average forest fire size in Canada, the USA and Australia has doubled or even tripled in recent decades4,5. In return, forest f
Levels of fire activity and severity that are unprecedented in the instrumental record have recently been observed in forested regions around the world. Using a large sample of daily fire events and hourly climate data, here we show that fire activity in

BlueSky (BS): The BlueSky Western Canada Wildfire Smoke Forecasting Framework (http://firesmoke.ca) uses current data to generate hourly forecasts of PM2.5 concentrations from forest fires up to 60 h in advance with a spatial resolution of 4 km. Like FireWork, it is a complex forecasting sys...
While forests in most states continue to be carbon sinks, forests in some Rocky Mountain states have recently become carbon sources due to the effects of drought, insect and disease epidemics, and forest fires. [1] R&D Hot Topic: Forest Carbon Status and Trends (usda.gov). New England’s ...
Elevated winter temperatures are thought to have contributed to the spread to the north of the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae, in British Columbia, Canada where it has caused mortality of pines, especially lodgepole pine, over millions of hectares (Fig. 2). Previous outbreaks had ...
