Boreal

  1. Relative humidity predicts fire intensity in Cerrado burns
    Relative air humidity, not season alone, determines fire intensity in Cerrado savanna. Early dry season burns under low humidity match late season fire intensities.
  2. Africa shows rising droughts, heatwaves, and compound extremes
    Study analyzes compound drought-heatwave events across Africa 1979-2024, revealing acceleration trends and spatiotemporal patterns with implications for climate vulnerability and adaptation.
  3. Primary boreal forests store more carbon than secondary forests
    Study reveals primary boreal forests in Sweden store 72% more carbon than managed secondary forests, with significant implications for global carbon cycling and forest management policies.
  4. D13.3 Analysis of boreal forest fires
    Compilation and harmonization of northern hemisphere boreal charcoal records enables fire model assessment and analysis of fire frequency, severity, and synchronicity patterns.
  5. Global green wave shifts north and east more quickly
    Study reveals accelerated north-east shift in global green wave trajectory, indicating restructured vegetation phenology and hemispheric productivity changes through 21st century.
