Fig. 1: Study area and climate change effects on wildfire smoke health costs in a single landscape.
From: Health costs of wildfire smoke to rise under climate change
a 13 case study landscapes were drawn from a range of native (aqua) and modified vegetation (brown) in NSW, Australia. BH = Broken Hill, MI = Mildura, CO = Cobar, SW = Southwestern Slopes, NA = Nandewar, CN = Canberra, KO = Kosciuszko, CS = Casino, KE = Kempsey, GL = Gloucester, BM = Blue Mountains, JB = Jervis Bay, SC = Southeast Corner. b Wildfire smoke health costs associated with a single average-sized fire in the Jervis Bay (JB) landscape. Coloured bars represent different rates of landscape treatment (0–15% p.a.), individual bars within each set of coloured bars represent edge treatment rate (0–15% p.a.). Thick bars represent the reference period (1990–2009). Black ‘error’ bars show the range of a 12-member ensemble of projected climate change impacts by 2060–2079.
