Drivers and implications of the extreme 2022 wildfire season in Southwest Europe

Marcos Rodrigues et al.

Summary: Wildfires in southwest Europe during the 2022 fire season have been extreme, with burned areas exceeding the median of the past 20 years. The occurrence of large wildfires started earlier than usual and was associated with abnormally dry fuel, high atmospheric water demand, and pyrometeorological conditions. Nearly half of the season had historically low live fuel moisture content in some regions. The majority of burned areas and impacts on protected areas were caused by a few large wildfires. Shrublands, transitional woodlands, and conifer forests were the most affected land cover types. Climate change will likely make such fire seasons the new normal and pose major economic risks. Effective fuel management in protected areas is crucial to prevent biodiversity loss and landscape degradation. Fire prevention should be explicitly addressed in forest legislation and strategies at the continental scale to mitigate these impacts.

Fire Impact on the Formation and Development of the Boreal Pine Wooded Mires

Nadezhda Goncharova et al.

Summary: Based on botanical composition analysis, dendrochronological and radiocarbon datings, the development of six pine wooded sphagnum bogs in Russia's boreal zone was reconstructed. Most of the bogs followed an endogenous pattern with gradual vegetation changes, growing peat layer, declining substrate trophicity, and formation of shrub-sphagnous vegetation. The presence of pyrogenic layers and charcoals in the peat indicates that the study sites were frequently affected by fires, especially during the warmest periods of the Holocene.

Initial ecological change in plant and arthropod community composition after wildfires in designated areas of upland peatlands

Ruth Kelly et al.

Summary: Wildfires have detrimental impacts on temperate peatland plant and arthropod communities, resulting in a loss of species and a decrease in ecosystem functioning. While broad vegetation groups show some initial recovery, specific species like Sphagnum spp and bryophytes do not recover to their prefire composition. Arthropod communities also show differences between burnt and unburnt areas and fail to return to their original composition. The study highlights the need for a precautionary approach to prevent further wildfires and protect these important upland habitats.

Large fire initially reduces bird diversity in Poland's largest wetland biodiversity hotspot

Michal Walesiak et al.

Summary: Freshwater wetlands are important biodiversity hotspots, but climate change and wetland fires pose a threat to avian biodiversity. The short-term effect of a large spring wildfire in Biebrza Valley, Poland, was analyzed. The fire significantly reduced the abundance and richness of the bird community, with some species disappearing temporarily. It is crucial to provide additional protection to unburned adjacent areas and prevent further degradation of wetlands to increase their resilience to fire.

Leveraging NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive for Assessing Fire Susceptibility and Potential Impacts Over Australia and California

Nazmus Sazib et al.

Summary: Wildfires have significant impacts on people's lives and the environment, and soil moisture is a key factor influencing their occurrences. However, the measurement of soil moisture is challenging, leading to its underutilization in wildfire risk applications. This study evaluates the use of remotely-sensed soil moisture observations to monitor and predict fire risk in Australia and California, finding a strong association between fire activity and soil moisture anomalies. Lagged correlation analysis shows that a remote-sensing based soil moisture product can predict fire activity with a lead-time of 1-2 months.

Megafire-induced interval squeeze threatens vegetation at landscape scales

Tom D. Le Breton et al.

Summary: Wildfires in 2019-2020 set global records in terms of scale and severity, ushering in the era of megafires. These frequent megafires have negative impacts on species and ecosystems. A comprehensive analysis of megafire impacts on southeastern Australian vegetation communities indicates that one-third of the native vegetation in this region has burned too frequently, particularly affecting fire-sensitive vegetation like rainforests. The study also demonstrates that megafires can infiltrate refugia and push fire intervals beyond plant species' thresholds, increasing the risk of ecosystem collapse. Innovative fire management approaches are needed to address this issue, but without addressing climate change, ecosystems adapted to infrequent, high-severity fires may face unavoidable collapse.

Rapid Growth of Large Forest Fires Drives the Exponential Response of Annual Forest-Fire Area to Aridity in the Western United States

C. S. Juang et al.

Summary: The annual forest area burned in the western United States has been increasing exponentially with rising aridity. This exponential growth is primarily attributed to the exponential growth rates of individual fires. As aridity increases, larger fires have a greater potential for growth, leading to exponential increases in the overall forest area burned.

Spatial and temporal expansion of global wildland fire activity in response to climate change

Martin Senande-Rivera et al.

Summary: Global warming is expected to alter wildfire potential and fire season severity in the future. Climate largely determines present fire-prone regions and their fire season. Based on climate model projections, the global area with frequent fire-prone conditions would increase by 29%, mainly in the Boreal and Temperate zones, where there may also be a significant lengthening of the potential fire season. These estimates highlight the large but uneven impact of a warming climate on Earth's environment.

Drivers and ecological impacts of a wildfire outbreak in the southern Appalachian Mountains after decades of fire exclusion

Matthew J. Reilly et al.

Summary: In 2016, there was a regional outbreak of large wildfires in the southern Appalachian Mountains. These fires were larger and more widespread than previous wildfires in the past three decades. The increase in fire activity can be attributed to land-use changes, loss of native species, and fire exclusion. These wildfires have significant ecological and management implications for the region.

Holocene wildfire regimes in western Siberia: interaction between peatland moisture conditions and the composition of plant functional types

Angelica Feurdean et al.

Summary: Wildfires are common disturbances in boreal forests and can lead to significant changes in forest composition. This study explores the interactions between peatland moisture, vegetation composition, flammability, and fire regime in forested peatlands in Siberia. The findings suggest that water levels, fuel dryness, and the ratio of dark to light taiga influence fire occurrence and severity. The study also highlights the impact of climate variability and human activities on wildfire activity and the future resilience of boreal peatlands.

Beyond Climatic Variation: Human Disturbances Alter the Effectiveness of a Protected Area to Reduce Fires in a Tropical Peatland

Muhammad Ali Imron et al.

Summary: Fire is a major threat to biodiversity, especially in tropical peatlands, but the influence of protected area designation on fire occurrence in these areas has not been well assessed. This study evaluated fire patterns in a tropical peatland protected area and its surrounding landscape and found that the protected area effectively limited fire in wet years. The distance from canals and roads also contributed to fire occurrence. The findings highlight the importance of addressing fire processes in tropical peatlands at a landscape level to improve fire protection and conservation efforts.

Overwintering fires in boreal forests

Rebecca C. Scholten et al.

Summary: Some forest fires exhibit "overwintering" behavior, smoldering through the non-fire season and flaring up in the subsequent spring, particularly in boreal forests with deep organic soils. Overwintering fires in boreal forests are associated with hot summers generating large fire years and deep burning into organic soils. The spatiotemporal predictability of overwintering fires can help fire management agencies facilitate early detection and reduce carbon emissions and firefighting costs.

Peatland-fire interactions: A review of wildland fire feedbacks and interactions in Canadian boreal peatlands

K. Nelson et al.

Summary: Boreal peatlands play a critical role in the global climate system, storing a large quantity of soil carbon. However, with climatic warming, these carbon stores are at risk, potentially transitioning from carbon sink to source. While negative ecohydrological feedback mechanisms may initially compensate for increased carbon loss, factors such as climatic warming and anthropogenic peatland fragmentation could drive a positive carbon feedback cycle.
