Spatial interactions among short-interval fires reshape forest landscapes

Brian J. Harvey et al.

Summary: The study investigated the spatial interactions of multiple disturbances and their effects on landscape change. By quantifying burn severity in reburned forest landscapes, the researchers found that overlapping fires resulted in cumulative patterns of recent high-severity fire that were more homogeneous and further from mature forests. This highlights the importance of considering cumulative disturbance patterns in understanding landscape heterogeneity.

What is the color when black is burned? Quantifying (re)burn severity using field and satellite remote sensing indices

Saba J. Saberi et al.

Summary: This study found that commonly used indices of burn severity may underestimate or overestimate the severity of fires in areas experiencing short-interval reburns. The degree of underestimation or overestimation depends on the severity of the fire preceding a reburn. Adjustments to burn severity measurements are crucial in accurately assessing the severity of short-interval reburns.

The magnitude, direction, and tempo of forest change in Greater Yellowstone in a warmer world with more fire

Monica G. Turner et al.

Summary: The study suggests that future forest landscapes will undergo significant changes as temperatures rise and fire activity increases, particularly in environments of prolonged aridity and high fire risk, leading to rapid forest structure and composition degradation. However, controlling greenhouse gas concentrations may help slow this process and protect the forests.

When bigger isn't better-Implications of large high-severity wildfire patches for avian diversity and community composition

Zachary L. Steel et al.

Summary: Wildfires are creating large high-severity patches far from undisturbed habitats, impacting bird communities. Community richness decreases with distance and patch size, while increasing with years since fire. Large high-severity patch interiors contain subsets, rather than complements, of edge communities, leading to shifts in avian diversity and community composition.

Climate-induced fire regime amplification in Alberta, Canada

Ellen Whitman et al.

Summary: Climate change has significant implications for wildfire activity in North American ecosystems, and a study in northwestern Canada has found a significant increase in fire activity over the past 50 years, which is closely related to annual climate variability. The increasing fire activity may have consequences for forest ecology and habitat availability.

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.

Future wildfire extent and frequency determined by the longest fire-conducive weather spell

Xianli Wang et al.

Summary: This study projects future annual area burned, annual number of fires, and annual maximum fire site by establishing linkages between fire-conducive weather duration and fire activity parameters. It found that the spatial pattern of changes for all these parameters are similar by Canadian ecozone, with areas of lowest fire activity experiencing higher rates of change.

Multiple smoothing parameters selection in additive regression quantiles

Vito M. R. Muggeo et al.

Summary: An iterative algorithm is proposed for selecting smoothing parameters in additive quantile regression, utilizing penalized coefficients as random effects and proving to be efficient, especially with multiple smooth terms. By comparing with alternative approaches and conducting real-data analysis, the proposed method is shown to be effective in practice.

The 2019/2020 mega-fires exposed Australian ecosystems to an unprecedented extent of high-severity fire

Luke Collins et al.

Summary: This study found that while the wildfires in south-eastern Australia in 2019/2020 were larger in extent, they were not proportionally more severe than previous fires. High-severity fire area increased in wet-forests and less-common rainforest areas, accounting for 44% of the burnt area in 2019/2020.

Compound Extremes Drive the Western Oregon Wildfires of September 2020

John T. Abatzoglou et al.

Summary: The large high-impact fires in western Oregon in September 2020 were caused by a combination of dry air intrusion and strong east winds. These compound extremes were unmatched in the observational record, highlighting the importance of assessing wildfire hazard risk with a multivariate lens.

Evidence for widespread changes in the structure, composition, and fire regimes of western North American forests

R. K. Hagmann et al.

Summary: Implementation of wildfire- and climate-adaptation strategies in seasonally dry forests of western North America faces constraints and uncertainties due to historic resource and land use changes. Research shows persistent fire deficits, widespread alterations to ecological structures, and increased vulnerability to drought and fire in contemporary conditions. Objectively evaluating ongoing research and monitoring will help differentiate necessary uncertainties for effective adaptation strategies.

Does hot and dry equal more wildfire? Contrasting short- and long-term climate effects on fire in the Sierra Nevada, CA

Maureen C. Kennedy et al.

Summary: Climate and wildfire are closely linked, with climate regulating wildfire through both direct and indirect effects on fuel aridity and vegetation productivity. Prediction of future wildfire regimes must consider the non-stationarity of landscape-scale wildfire dynamics and the different temporal and spatial scales at which feedback loops operate. Short-term direct effects of climate on wildfire may differ from long-term indirect effects, leading to complex relationships between climate and wildfire at different scales.

Fire Ecology and Management in Pacific Northwest Forests

Matthew J. Reilly et al.

Summary: Fire has played a crucial role in shaping Pacific Northwest forests throughout history, but recent decades have seen a decrease in total burned area compared to historical levels. Severe fires in dry forest landscapes have caused significant changes, while wildfires in moist and cold forest landscapes have increased biodiversity. Area burned is expected to increase significantly in the future due to climate change.

Summary: The proposed framework offers a general method for assessing forest vulnerability and risk, including concepts of exposure, hazard magnitude, susceptibility, and lack of adaptive capacity. It provides a standardized procedure for defining and combining these components, along with a list of indicators applicable to the primary hazards to forests associated with climate change.
