Boreal forest cover was reduced in the mid-Holocene with warming and recurring wildfires - Communications Earth & Environmentwww.nature.com The boreal forest transformed into a dry oak-pine ecosystem in the hemiboreal zone of North America 7000 years ago, probably as a result of rising temperatures and increased fire activity, according t...
Fire suppression makes wildfires more severe and accentuates impacts of climate change and fuel accumulation - Nature Communicationswww.nature.com Fire suppression removes less-extreme wildfires, concentrating fires under extreme conditions. The authors use model simulations to show how this “suppression bias” intensifies fire behavior and effec...
