Recent changes in the fire regime across the North American boreal region-Spatial and temporal patterns of burning across Canada and Alaska

We used historic records from 1959–99 to explore fire regime characteristics at ecozone scales across the entire North American boreal region (NABR). Shifts in the NABR fire regime between the 1960s/70s and the 1980s/90s were characterized by a doubling of annual burned area and more than a doubling...
