Climate change will increase forest disturbances in Europe throughout the 21st century Wildfires, insect outbreaks, and storms cause large pulses of tree mortality. Climate change amplifies these forest disturbances, yet their future magnitude and extent remain uncertain. Here, we simul...

Across Europe, climate-driven forest disturbances, such as wildfires and insect outbreaks, are expected to increase over the next century, according to a new large-scale modeling study in Science, substantially altering forested landscapes continent-wide. https://scim.ag/4uwZMmH

Increasing synchronicity of global extreme fire weather Increasing synchronicity of global extreme fire weather constrains fire suppression coordination and exacerbates air pollution.

Our new study in Science Advances: Extreme fire risk days are increasingly synchronizing globally. This trend strains firefighting cooperation and worsens regional air quality.
