ANNOTATION: Wildland fire has been an integral part of the landscape of the conterminous United States for millennia. Analysis of contemporary and pre-industrial (~ 200 - 500 yr BP) conditions, using potential natural vegetation, satellite imagery, and ecological fire regime…

Boreal forests and woodlands comprise about 29% of the world's forest cover. About 70% of this forest is in Eurasia, mostly in the Russian Federation. Boreal forests contain about 45% of the world's growing stock and are an increasingly important part of global timber production…

Despite increasing temperatures since the end of the Little Ice Age (ca. 1850), wildfire frequency has decreased as shown in many field studies from North America and Europe. We believe that global warming since 1850 may have triggered decreases in fire frequency in some regions…

An overview is given of recent research on forest fires, particularly climate change and its implications for forest fire and vegetation zoning in Russian and Canadian boreal forests, fire emissions and their impact on the atmosphere, the predicted catastrophic effects on global…

Carbon emissions in fires in the boreal forests of Russia were calculated from data on the area burned, fire intensity, post-fire mortality and decomposition of fuels, and change in vegetation structure after fires. The actual area of boreal forests burned in Russia appears to…
