New paper published in @NatureComms The 2023 fire season in Canada is a wake-up call: severe climate impacts on fire activity are arriving decades earlier than predicted. Building fire-resilient environments is now more critical than ever! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Drivers and Impacts of the Record-Breaking 2023 Wildfire Season in Canada - Nature Communications

The record-breaking 2023 wildfire season in Canada ( ~ 15 Mha burned) was enabled by early snowmelt, drought, and extreme weather. It had profound impacts that included evacuation of >200 communiti...

Excited to announce that I’ve been appointed co-Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Wildland Fire. It's an incredible opportunity to lead and support groundbreaking research in fire science! publish.csiro.au/wf

Congrats to Etienne Robert for this paper in GCB fusing tree rings & genomics in ecological forecasting: genetically differentiated boreal black spruce populations harbor variation that could play a crucial role in productivity and growth under climate change onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The boreal forest transformed into a dry oak-pine ecosystem in the hemiboreal zone of North America 7000 years ago, probably as a result of rising temperatures and increased fire activity, according t...

Our new study examines how trees adjust drought and frost responses to local climates across Canada's vast forests. Some species adapt, others don't. More data needed to predict future impacts of climate change besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Thanks Ben! But what do you mean about the species' proportions time plot being terrifying?

Our groundbreaking tree-ring study, just published in @NatureComms, uncovers compelling evidence of decreasing tree growth rates across Canadian forests from 1951-2018, linked to rising summer temperatures #Drought#TreeRingwww.nature.com/articles/s41...
