A new dataset of emissions of trace gases and particles resulting from biomass burning has been developed for the historical and the recent period (1900-2005). The purpose of this work is to provide a consistent gridded emissions dataset of atmospheric chemical species from 1900…

The trend in global wildfire potential under the climate change due to the greenhouse effect is investigated. Fire potential is measured by the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI), which is calculated using the observed maximum temperature and precipitation and projected changes…

As the size and severity of fires in the western U.S. continue to increase, it has become ever more important to understand carbon dynamics in response to fire. Many subalpine forests experience stand-replacing wildfires, and these fires and subsequent recovery can change the…
