The fire regimes of the Southern Appalachians may radically shift under climate change.

Abstract: Background: Increased drought due to climate change will alter fire regimes in mesic forested landscapes where fuel moisture typically limits fire spread, and where fuel loads are consistently high. These landscapes are often extensively modified by human land use change and management. We forecast the influence of varying climate scenarios on potential shifts in the wildfire regime across the mesic forests of the Southern Appalachians. This area has a long history of fire exclusion, land use change, and an ex… Show more
