A modest increase in fire weather overcomes resistance to fire spread in recently burned boreal forests

Ellen Whitman,
Quinn E. Barber,
Piyush Jain
et al.

Abstract: Recently burned boreal forests have lower aboveground fuel loads, generating a negative feedback to subsequent wildfires. Despite this feedback, short‐interval reburns (≤20 years between fires) are possible under extreme weather conditions. Reburns have consequences for ecosystem recovery, leading to enduring vegetation change. In this study, we characterize the strength of the fire‐fuel feedback in recently burned Canadian boreal forests and the weather conditions that overwhelm resistance to fire spread in r… Show more
