2,3. The average forest fire size in Canada, the USA and Australia has doubled or even tripled in recent decades4,5. In return, forest fires feed back to climate by modulating land–atmospheric carbon, nitrogen, aerosol, energy and water fluxes6,7,8. However...
Forest fires represent a severe threat to Mediterranean ecosystems and are considered one of the major environmental and socioeconomic problems of the region. The project Plantando cara al fuego (PCF, Spain) is designed to transfer knowledge and to improve the training of new generations in forest...

Overall the health costs of the 2019–2020 Australian fires were close to US$1.5 billion58, a number comparable to one estimate of the annual acute health impacts from wildfire smoke in Canada59. We have modelled forest fire only, and any increases in fire risk that extend to peatlands ...

Zumbrunnen et al., 2012), we take the view that climate change combined with changes in forest management and increasing recreational activities will alter the current fire regime towards a more fire prone one with a higher number of ignitions and more extreme forest fires, also in the Norther...
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed his country will continue to support the efforts to save the Amazon. He said Canada is offering tosend $15 million and "water bombers"to help fight the fires, the CBC reported Aug. 26. In late August, the G7 Summit -- an annual meeting ...
A forest fire is any unplanned fire in the forest environment that may occur due to natural forces or human actions. Uncontrolled forest fires in vegetation are usually higher than 6 feet (1.8 m). These fires often reach the proportions of a major conflagration and often result from combusti...
Specifically, overstory species, such as larch species are dominant in Eurasian boreal forest, can be resistant to surface fires through their fire adaptive traits of thick bark near the bottom of the stem and self-pruning (Kobayashi et al., 2007, Wirth, 2005). Whereas, the birch and aspen...
