Climate‐linked increasing vegetation fires in global high mountains

نویسندگان

چکیده

The spatiotemporal variability of vegetation fires is essential for understanding changes in the climate and ecosystem mountainous regions. MODIS Collection 6 active fire products indicate that area burned by declined globally from over 4.27 million km2 to less than 3.52 annually during 2001–2021. In contrast, global high mountains higher 3000 m have experienced an overall increase their suffered record-breaking wildfires August December 2020. Although accounted 0.03% 2001–2021, this proportion had more tripled This unprecedented wildfire record 2020 could be mainly caused favorable weather conditions such as low relative humidity, soil water temperature.

Towards a global assessment of pyrogenic carbon from vegetation fires.

The production of pyrogenic carbon (PyC; a continuum of organic carbon (C) ranging from partially charred biomass and charcoal to soot) is a widely acknowledged C sink, with the latest estimates indicating that ~50% of the PyC produced by vegetation fires potentially sequesters C over centuries. Nevertheless, the quantitative importance of PyC in the global C balance remains contentious, and th...

High-Elevation Rock Outcrop Vegetation of the Southern Appalachian Mountains

Species composition patterns and vegetation-environment relationships were quantified for high-elevation rock outcrops of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, an infrequent and insular habitat in a forested landscape. Outcrops occur over a wide geographic range encompassing extensive variation in both geology and climate. Geographic-scale factors interact with site-scale factors to produce varia...

SPOT VEGETATION for characterizing boreal forest fires

The potential of the recent SPOT VEGETATION (VGT) sensor for characterizing boreal forest Ž res was investigated. Its capability for hotspot detection and burned area mapping was assessed by analysing a series of VGT, NOAA/AVHRR, and Landsat TM images over a 1541 km2 Ž re that occurred in May 1998, in Alberta, Canada. VGT’s 1.65mm, short-wave infrared (SWIR) channel was capable of detecting the...

Australia's Black Saturday fires - comparison of techniques for estimating emissions from vegetation fires

We present a comparison of techniques for estimating atmospheric emissions from fires using Australia's 2009 "Black Saturday" wildfires as a case study. Most of the fires started on Saturday the 7th of February 2009 (a date now known as "Black Saturday") and then spread rapidly, fanned by gale force winds, creating several firestorms and killing 173 people. The fires continued into early March,...
