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

E Whitman, QE Barber, P Jain, SA Parks… - Global Change …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Recently burned boreal forests have lower aboveground fuel loads, generating a negative
feedback to subsequent wildfires. Despite this feedback, short‐interval reburns (≤ 20 years …
