Global carbon emissions from forest fires have increased by 60% over the past two decades, with the largest contributions coming from fires in Siberia and western North America.

Carbon loosed by a 2018 fire season in Sweden could take 40 years to return to trees and soil.

Satellites used satellite sensors to identify the 0.01% ‘most extreme’ fires worldwide.

Research suggests these forests could disappear by the 2070s.

How will Earth’s vast boreal forests look in a warmer world? Combining satellite-based research with fieldwork shows that the planet’s largest wilderness may be changing in unexpected ways.

Loretta Mickley, a Harvard wildfire expert, says wildfires are not just a symptom of climate change, but with the increased burning of millenia-old global peat stores, have the potential to worsen warming.

New research shows boreal forests comprised 23% of global wildfire emissions in 2021, up from 10% in a typical year.

Fires today are hotter and more destructive, thanks in part to a warming climate.

A new study finds more deciduous trees like aspen are growing in after severe fires in the region, and that has some unexpected impacts.
