Global fire emissions buffered by the production of pyrogenic carbon

Pyrogenic carbon produced from vegetation fires could be a globally important carbon sink, which amounts to 12% of the carbon emitted from wildfires annually, according to a global fire emission database that incorporates the estimate of pyrogenic carbon.

Vast CO₂ release from Australian fires in 2019–2020 constrained by satellite

The amount of carbon dioxide released by the Australian wildfires of 2019–2020 is uncertain, but is estimated here using satellite observations of carbon monoxide to be more than twice the amount suggested by fire inventories.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: New land-use-change emissions indicate a declining CO₂ airborne fraction

By generating a land use and land cover change emissions dataset using visibility data from two key deforestation regions, analysis of the data suggests a decrease in the CO₂ airborne fraction since 1959.

Recent trends in African fires driven by cropland expansion and El Niño to La Niña transition

Africa is sometimes called ‘the burning continent’ owing to the prevalent use of fire for landscape management. This study shows that precipitation changes associated with El Niño/Southern Oscillation help explain fire trends in Africa over the period 2001–2012. However, a shift in land use from savannah to cropland also reduced fire prevalence in the northern half of the continent.

Human amplification of drought-induced biomass burning in Indonesia since 1960

Under drought conditions, biomass burning in Indonesia is a disproportionate contributor to the global carbon dioxide emissions from such events. An analysis of Indonesian records of large fires shows that their occurrence is linked to land use and population dynamics, and that the Indian Ocean climate and El Niño both have an equally important influence.

A comprehensive quantification of global nitrous oxide sources and sinks

Bottom-up and top-down approaches are used to quantify global nitrous oxide sources and sinks resulting from both natural and anthropogenic sources, revealing a 30% increase in global human-induced emissions between 1980 and 2016.

Extratropical forests increasingly at risk due to lightning fires

Lightning-induced fires account for 77% of the burned area in extratropical intact forests, and lightning ignitions will probably become more frequent as the global climate warms, according to a global attribution of lightning and anthropogenic fires from 2001 to 2020.

A pan-tropical cascade of fire driven by El Niño/Southern Oscillation

Reductions in precipitation and water storage increased fire emissions in pan-tropical forests by 133% during and following El Niño events (1997–2016). Fires follow a predictable cascade across tropical continents that may improve seasonal fire forecasts.

Increasing aerosol emissions from boreal biomass burning exacerbate Arctic warming

Boreal fires are expected to increase with warming, but how the aerosols emitted in these fires affect the climate is not well understood. Here the authors show that this increase in boreal fire aerosols results in a positive radiative forcing, leading to additional Arctic warming.

Using modelled relationships and satellite observations to attribute modelled aerosol biases over biomass burning regions

Error attribution based on modelled relationships and satellite observations suggests that errors in global models are more important and require more concerns than emission errors in creating the overall uncertainties for biomass burning aerosols.

Global vulnerability of peatlands to fire and carbon loss

The amount of carbon stored in peats exceeds that stored in vegetation. A synthesis of the literature suggests that smouldering fires in peatlands could become more common as the climate warms, and release old carbon to the air.

CO₂ emissions from forest loss

Deforestation is the second largest anthropogenic source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, after fossil fuel combustion. Following a budget reanalysis, the contribution from deforestation is revised downwards, but tropical peatlands emerge as a notable carbon dioxide source.

Trends in the sources and sinks of carbon dioxide

Efforts to control climate change require the stabilization of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. An assessment of the trends in sources and sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide suggests that the sinks are not keeping up with the increase in carbon dioxide emissions, but uncertainties are still large.

Three decades of global methane sources and sinks

Methane is an important greenhouse gas, responsible for about 20% of the warming induced by long-lived greenhouse gases since pre-industrial times. A compilation of observations and results from chemical transport, ecosystem and climate chemistry models suggests that a rise in wetland and fossil fuel emissions probably accounts for the renewed increase in global methane levels after 2006.
