Satellite remote sensing of active fires: History and current status, applications and future requirements

Martin J. Wooster et al.

Summary: Landscape fire is a significant aspect of Earth's biogeochemical cycling, with both ecological benefits and potential risks. Satellite Earth Observation data is essential for understanding the drivers and impacts of landscape fires, as well as for fire management.

ENSO modulates wildfire activity in China

Keyan Fang et al.

Summary: China is a key region for understanding fire activity and the drivers of its variability under strict fire suppression policies. A detailed fire occurrence dataset for China, the Wildfire Atlas of China (WFAC), based on continuous monitoring from multiple satellites, shows a decreasing trend in wildfires after reaching a peak in 2007. Wildfires in China are mainly influenced by factors such as low precipitation, high diurnal temperature ranges, and warm conditions that enhance evaporation.

The 30 m annual land cover dataset and its dynamics in China from 1990 to 2019

Jie Yang et al.

Summary: Land cover (LC) plays a crucial role in energy exchange and environmental impact. Rapid changes in land cover in China necessitate fine-scale monitoring. A new dataset, CLCD, based on Landsat data on the Google Earth Engine platform provides valuable insights into China's land cover dynamics from 1990 to 2019.

Attribution of the Extreme Drought- Related Risk of Wildfires in Spring 2019 over Southwest China

Jizeng Du et al.

Summary: The extreme wildfire that occurred in South China in 2019 was largely attributed to both anthropogenic warming and the El Nino event, which increased the weather-related risk of extreme wildfires by 7.2 times and 3.6 times respectively.
