Fig. 4: Implications of increasing fire size on future climate and fire activity.
From: Forest fire size amplifies postfire land surface warming
a, Prefire state using boreal ENF as an example, followed by burning the same total area as several small fires (left column) or a single large fire (right column). b–e, Effects of fire size on CO2 emissions (b), postfire biogeophysical processes (c), stand regeneration (d) and regional- to global-scale climate feedback loops (e). Processes linked to fire size in b and c are reported in this study, whereas those in d and e are based on the literature48,49,50. Figure developed using Microsoft PowerPoint software.
