Converging and diverging burn rates in North American boreal forests from the Little Ice Age to the present
Year: 2022
Warning: This article contains terms, descriptions, and opinions used for historical context that may be culturally sensitive for some readers. Background: Understanding drivers of boreal forest dynamics supports adaptation strategies in the context of climate change. Aims: We aimed to understand how burn rates varied since the early 1700s in North American boreal forests. Methods: We used 16 fire-history study sites distributed across such forests and investigated variation in burn rates for the historical period spanning 1700–1990. These were benchmarked against recent burn rates estimated…
