Abstract The 2015 Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change aims to keep global average temperature increases well below 2° C of …
Long-term records of burned area are needed to understand wildfire dynamics, assess fire impacts on ecosystems and air quality, and improve fire forecasts. Here we fuse multiple …
Tropical peatlands play a vital role in the global carbon cycle as large carbon reservoirs and substantial carbon sinks. Indonesia possesses the largest share (65%) of tropical peat …
Deforestation in Indonesia in recent decades has made increasingly large parts of the region vulnerable to fires. Burning is particularly widespread in deforested peatlands, and it …
Indonesia contains large areas of peatland that have been drained and cleared of natural vegetation, making them susceptible to burning. Peat fires emit considerable amounts of …
Biomass burning influences atmospheric composition and regional air quality. The hourly biomass-burning emissions are usually required by air quality models, yet most available …

Like many tropical forest nations, Indonesia is challenged by landscape fires. A confident understanding of the area and distribution of burning is crucial to understanding the …
Background The prevalence of landscape fires has increased, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We aimed to assess the impact of exposure to …
Vegetation fires across the tropics emit fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) to the atmosphere, degrading regional air quality and impacting human health. Extensive vegetation fires occur …
