The Effects of the Non-Climatic Inhomogeneities in Surface Weather Station Records on Long Term Trends in Canadian Fire Weather Index System Codes.
… in the effects of climate change on forest fire regimes, there has been a proliferation of studies analyzing the past fire weather trends using daily surface weather stations data. However, not all studies take account of such data's inherent inconsistencies (inhomogeneities) from …

The burning questions about Hluhluwe : causes and consequences of a severe wildfire
The biophysical drivers of fire; ignition, fire weather conditions, fuel biomass, and flammability, differ in varying ecosystems. The rates of occurrence of these factors influence fire regimes. This study investigated the causes and consequences of a severe wildfire that swept through the Hluhluwe …

Post-fire carbon, fuels, and vegetation dynamics in wet temperate forests: implications for future fire and management in the Pacific Northwest
… dynamics under warming climate and increasing fire activity is a critical priority for contemporary ecology and ecosystem management. However, fundamental understanding of fire effects is missing in ecosystems where fire is infrequent, including wet temperate forests west of the Cascade Range …

Wildfires for resilience in California’s Sierra Nevada: fine-scale assessment at regional scales with airborne lidar
… to a warming climate and increasingly severe wildfires, droughts, and bark beetle outbreaks. In dry forest types, a history of fire exclusion, removal of Indigenous burning, and extensive logging have drastically altered forest structures and compositions over the past century, making the impacts …

Effects of repeated fire on the savanna / forest boundary
… stable states, among others, determined by fire ecology feedbacks. Bush encroachment has become an ever-increasing trend converting grassland and savanna biomes to forest/thicket. A severe firestorm occurred in the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve in north-eastern South Africa in September …
