Short-interval fires increasing in the Alaskan boreal forest as fire self-regulation decays across forest types
Abstract Climate drivers are increasingly creating conditions conducive to higher frequency fires. In the coniferous boreal forest, the world’s largest terrestrial biome, fires are historically common but relatively infrequent. Post-fire, regenerating forests are generally resistant to burning (stro...
