The authors examined the effects of climate, specifically drought, and local topography on fire severity across a gradient of fire sizes and vegetation types.

The authors examined fire-climate relationships between snowpack accumulation and fire ignition, size, and severity of lightning-ignited fires from 1984 to 2005.

The authors quantified environmental drivers of global wildfire including climate conditions at a coarse spatiotemporal resolution in order to model future projections of global fire patterns under climate change models.

The authors applied generalized linear models to large-scale, interannual and/or seasonal climate variables of precipitation, temperature, and the Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) to area burned across vegetation types of the western U.S.

The authors examined charcoal and pollen records of a period of abrupt climate change beginning during the last glacial-interglacial transition to the Younger Dryas period (15 to 10 ka) to assess how fire regimes across North America were affected.

The authors reconstructed the historical fire regime and stand structure of a mixed-conifer forest in southwestern Colorado to determine how stand structure and composition have changed over time.

The authors projected changes in wildfire area burned based on future climate models to understand the potential impacts of increased fire on carbonaceous aerosol air quality.

This article discusses the relevance of reference conditions in the restoration of surface fire-adapted forests and possible alternative forest management strategies in the face of climate change.

This article is a review of potential ecological responses to expected changes in future climate of four key mesoscale drivers: drought, warming, snowpack disappearance, and altered fire regimes.
