Please check out our new paper in Nature Communications titled "Fire suppression makes wildfires more severe and accentuates impacts of climate change and fuel accumulation" 🧪🌏 Lead author = U Montana PhD student Mark Kreider!
Fire suppression removes less-extreme wildfires, concentrating fires under extreme conditions. The authors use model simulations to show how this “suppression bias” intensifies fire behavior and effec...

Dense closed canopy forests are less "natural" than many global modelers seem to think. Cool new paper about the ecological history of Europe. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Landscape reconstruction using pollen data shows that European temperate forests were open and heterogeneous before modern humans.
