Climatic stress increases forest fire severity across the western United States
The authors examined the relationship between climate and fire severity across coniferous forests of the western U.S.
The authors found that long term climatic stress, measured by climatic water deficit, predisposed trees to higher mortality from fire damage. The author suggest that warming temperatures increase fire severity, and ultimately tree mortality, independent of fire intensity.
