Wildfire, Climate Change, Forest Resilience, and Carbon Solutions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wildfire is natural in many temperate forests but unnatural tropical rainforests and certain other ecosystems. Human-caused climate change intensifying the heat that drives wildfire. Preventive burning forests, halting deforestation cutting carbon pollution reduce wildfire risks increase forest resilience under change.

Fire, climate change, and forest resilience in interior Alaska1
In the boreal forests of interior Alaska, feedbacks that link forest soils, fire characteristics, and plant traits have supported stable cycles of forest succession for the past 6000 years. This high resilience of forest stands to fire disturbance is supported by two interrelated feedback cycles: (i) interactions among disturbance regime and plant–soil–microbial feedbacks that regulate soil org...
متن کاملEvidence for declining forest resilience to wildfires under climate change.
Forest resilience to climate change is a global concern given the potential effects of increased disturbance activity, warming temperatures and increased moisture stress on plants. We used a multi-regional dataset of 1485 sites across 52 wildfires from the US Rocky Mountains to ask if and how changing climate over the last several decades impacted post-fire tree regeneration, a key indicator of...

متن کاملClimate change and wildfire in California
Wildfire risks for California under four climatic change scenarios were statistically modeled as functions of climate, hydrology, and topography. Wildfire risks for the GFDL and PCM global climate models and the A2 and B1 emissions scenarios were compared for 2005–2034, 2035–2064, and 2070–2099 against a modeled 1961–1990 reference period in California and neighboring states. Outcomes for the G...
متن کاملWildland fire emissions, carbon, and climate: Wildfire–climate interactions
Increasing wildfire activity in recent decades, partially related to extended droughts, along with concern over potential impacts of future climate change on fire activity has resulted in increased attention on fire–climate interactions. Findings from studies published in recent years have remarkably increased our understanding of fire–climate interactions and improved our capacity to delineate...
