Abstract. Biomass burning impacts vegetation dynamics, biogeochemical cycling, atmospheric chemistry, and climate, with sometimes deleterious socio-economic impacts. Under future climate projections it is often expected that the risk of wildfires will increase. Our ability to predict the magnitude and geographic pattern of future fire impacts rests on our ability to model fire regimes, using either well-founded empirical relationships or process-based models with good predictive skill. While a large variety of models exist today, it is still unclear which type of model or degree of complexity is required to model fire adequately at regional to global scales. This is the central question underpinning the creation of the Fire Model Intercomparison Project (FireMIP), an international initiative to compare and evaluate existing global fire models against benchmark data sets for present-day and historical conditions. In this paper we review how fires have been represented in fire-enabled dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) and give an overview of the current state of the art in fire-regime modelling. We indicate which challenges still remain in global fire modelling and stress the need for a comprehensive model evaluation and outline what lessons may be learned from FireMIP.

“…25 In addition to the natural sources, some anthropogenic sources can also emit DHAA, such as the pulp and paper industry, as well as production of commercial disproportionated rosin. DHAA can be detected easily in the atmosphere, 17,[26][27][28] and some studies have found similar concentration levels of DHAA in the atmosphere compared with another organic tracer, levoglucosan. 5 Because of its ubiquity in the atmosphere and specificity for conifer combustion, DHAA has recently been used as a molecular tracer in source apportionment.…”

“…15 The emissions from biomass burning are estimated to contribute up to 38% of tropospheric O 3 , 39% of particulate organic carbon and more than 86% of elemental carbon. [16][17][18] Biopolymers such as cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, suberlin, sporopollenin, chitin, etc. are the major constituents of the biomass.…”

19Monoterpene and isoprene secondary organic aerosol (SOA) tracers are reported for the 20 first time in an Alaskan ice core to better understand the biological source strength before and 21 after the industrial revolution in the Northern Hemisphere. We found significantly high 22 concentrations of monoterpene-and isoprene-SOA tracers (e.g., pinic, pinonic, and 2-23 methylglyceric acids, 2-methylthreitol and 2-methylerythritol) in the ice core, which show 24 historical trends with good correlation to each other since 1660s. They show positive 25 correlations with sugar compounds (e.g., mannitol, fructose, glucose, inositol and sucrose), and 26anti-correlations with α-dicarbonyls (glyoxal and methylglyoxal) and fatty acids (e.g., C 18:1 ) in 27 the same ice core. These results suggest similar sources and transport pathways for 28 monoterpene-and isoprene-SOA tracers. In addition, we found that concentrations of C 5 -29 alkene triols (e.g., 3-methyl-2,3,4-trihydroxy-1-butene, cis-2-methyl 1,3,4-trihydroxy-1-butene 30 and trans-2-methyl-1,3,4-trihydroxy-1-butene) in the ice core have increased after the Great 31 Pacific Climate Shift (late 1970s). They show positive correlations with α-dicarbonyls and 32 fatty acids (e.g., C 18:1 ) in the ice core, suggesting that enhanced oceanic emissions of biogenic 33 organic compounds through the marine boundary layer are recorded in the ice core from 34 Alaska. Photochemical oxidation process for these monoterpene-and isoprene-/sesquiterpene-35 SOA tracers are suggested to be linked with the periodicity of multi-decadal climate 36 oscillations and retreat of sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere. 37 38
