Recent massive expansion of wildfire and its impact on active layer over pan-Arctic permafrost
Wildfire is recognized as an increasing threat to the southern boreal forests and the permafrost beneath them, with less occurring over the cold continuous permafrost than before. However, we show that continuous permafrost was a major contribution to wildfire expansion in the pan-Arctic over the la...
