Contributions of open crop straw burning emissions to PM2.5 concentrations in China

PM2.5 inventories have been developed in major Chinese cities to quantify the contributions from various sources based on annual emissions. This approach, however, could substantially underestimate the contribution from open straw burning during the...

Development of a REgion-Specific Ecosystem Feedback Fire (RESFire) model in the Community Earth System model

Fires play a critical role in modulating regional and global climate through disturbances on meteorological, biogeochemical, and hydrological processes, while fires are strongly affected by climate, terrestrial ecosystems, and human activities. The...

Improving reporting of national greenhouse gas emissions from forest fires for emission reduction benefits: an example from Australia

Forest fires are a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Accurate reporting of GHG emissions from forest fires requires development of detailed methodologies and country specific data for estimating emissions. In recent...

Linking fire and the United Nations sustainable development goals

Fire is a ubiquitous natural disturbance that affects 3–4% of the Earth's surface each year. It is a tool used by humans for land clearing and burning of agricultural wastes. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) do not explicitly...

Severe wildfires spark population boom in fungi and bacteria

Wildfires are getting larger, burning hotter and becoming increasingly unpredictable, devastating plant and animal species. Now, researchers are studying how these blazes affect the tiniest of forest organisms — including bacteria and fungi — and...

Global pyrogenic carbon production during recent decades has created the potential for a large, long-term sink of atmospheric CO2

Fires play an important role in the terrestrial biosphere carbon cycle, not only through direct carbon release but also contributing to a potential long‐term storage as pyrogenic carbon (PyC). PyC is formed through fires, and, because it may resist...
