Fire’s destructive effects are not restricted to vegetation: the flames may also kill or inactivate parasites in the environment, which could reduce the ecosystem’s burden of disease on a massive scale, such that animals are less often exposed and therefore exhibit lower burdens (reviewed in S...
We used the Helka electronic libraries, which search through major databases (e.g. Scopus, Web of Science, SpringerLink etc) to gather published peer-reviewed articles. The search parameters included the terms wildfire, fire, boreal forest, soil respiration, CO2, CH4 and N2O. The final dataset...
fuel accumulation and forest “mesophication” (Nowacki and Abrams 2008), policymakers and land managers have increasingly endorsed and implemented prescribed fire in recent decades to reduce wildfire risk and promote ecosystem health and resiliency (Pyne 1982; Rothman 2007; Waldrop and Goodrick 2012...

From the oak woodlands of California to the undulating prairies of the Midwest to the vast pine savannas of the South—name the ecosystem, it was probably shaped by fire. But as Native people were pushed out, and as forests and other landscapes were integrated into global markets, fire came...

“Climate change has led to an increase in the area burned by wildfire in the western United States. Analyses estimate that the area burned by wildfire from 1984 to 2015 was twice what would have burned had climate change not occurred. Furthermore, the area burned from 1916 to 2003 was ...
Shifts in Mediterranean wildfire governance Recognizing a need for changing top-down strategies, concerted efforts aim to reverse the traditional “zero fire” policies that have shaped fire suppression in several Mediterranean areas for decades (Brotons et al.2013). Wildfire preparedness and adaptation ...
