California is burning and smoke has covered the northern half of the state and is spreading across the U.S. Most of the fires were started by a huge “lightning siege” that started on August 15th. How unusual was this massive lightning event? That question will be answered below. Smoke ...
Recent airborne lidar-based assessments have characterized structural conditions across contemporary reference sites in the YPMC zone of California’s Sierra Nevada (Jeronimo et al. 2019; Kane et al. 2019; Chamberlain et al. 2023a, 2023b). These lidar-based characterizations may not cover all aspe...
Wildfires in 2020 ravaged California to set the annual record of area burned to date.

mostly via broadleaf species or turned into grass communities. After the fire, vegetation GPP was restored to pre-fire levels within 3–15 years, which may indicate that larch forests continue to serve as carbon stock. At the southern edge of the larch range, an amplified fire rate led to...
While those estimates are smaller than the effects of past major hurricanes, they’re higher than typical for wildfires, given the scale of the disaster and that it hit a fairly populated area with more “ferocity” than many events in California and other states, economists wrote. Here are...
