During the past several decades, the Earth system has changed significantly, especially
across Northern Eurasia. Changes in the socio-economic conditions of the larger countries …

Biomass burning (BB) is the second largest source of trace gases and the largest source of
primary fine carbonaceous particles in the global troposphere. Many recent BB studies have …

A Large Fire Database (LFDB), which includes information on fire location, start date, final
size, cause, and suppression action, has been developed for all fires larger than 200 ha in …

Despite the importance of Arctic and boreal regions in the present carbon cycle, estimates of
annual high‐latitude carbon fluxes vary in sign and magnitude. Without accurate estimates …

We present a methodology for estimating the seasonal and interannual variation of biomass
burning designed for use in global chemical transport models. The average seasonal …

Synthesis of results from several Arctic and boreal research programmes provides evidence
for the strong role of high‐latitude ecosystems in the climate system. Average surface air …

The magnitude of future CO2‐induced climate warming is difficult to predict because of
uncertainties in the role of ecosystems and oceans as CO2 sources and sinks. Siberia has …

In August 1998, severe forest fires occurred in many parts of Canada, especially in the
Northwest Territories. In the week from August 5 to 11, more than 1000 different fires …

The Russian boreal forest contains about 25% of the global terrestrial biomass, and even a
higher percentage of the carbon stored in litter and soils. Fire burns large areas annually …

High‐precision, multispecies measurements of flask air samples since 1992 from CSIRO's
global sampling network reveal strong correlation among interannual growth rate variations …
