Running head : CLIMATE AND ECOPROVINCE FIRE AREA BURNED 1 2 CLIMATE AND WILDFIRE AREA BURNED IN WESTERN U
23 We demonstrate that wildfire area burned (WFAB) in the American West was significantly 24 controlled by climate (combinations of precipitation, temperature, and/or drought) during most 25 of the 20 century (1916-2003). Persistent, ecosystem-specific correlations between climate 26 variables and area burned are grouped by vegetation type for 16 ecoprovinces across the West. 27 Most mountainou...
متن کاملProjected change in global fisheries revenues under climate change
Previous studies highlight the winners and losers in fisheries under climate change based on shifts in biomass, species composition and potential catches. Understanding how climate change is likely to alter the fisheries revenues of maritime countries is a crucial next step towards the development of effective socio-economic policy and food sustainability strategies to mitigate and adapt to cli...
متن کاملSensitivity of burned area in Europe to climate change, atmospheric CO2 levels, and demography: A comparison of two fire-vegetation models
Global environmental changes and human activity influence wildland fires worldwide, but the relative importance of the individual factors varies regionally and their interplay can be difficult to disentangle. Here we evaluate projected future changes in burned area at the European and sub-European scale, and we investigate uncertainties in the relative importance of the determining factors. We ...
متن کاملShifts in Arctic vegetation and associated feedbacks under climate change
Climate warming has led to changes in the composition, density and distribution of Arctic vegetation in recent decades1–4. These changes cause multiple opposing feedbacks between the biosphere and atmosphere5–9, the relative magnitudes of which will have globally significant consequences but are unknown at a pan-Arctic scale10. The precise nature of Arctic vegetation change under future warming...
