From: Drivers and Impacts of the Record-Breaking 2023 Wildfire Season in Canada
a Daily area burned in 2023, by province/territory estimated from interpolated day of burn for fires ≥ 500 ha; scale was exaggerated (e.g., × 2) in areas with comparatively low area burned; and b the daily forested area in each province/territory with FWI values exceeding the 95th percentile of FWI (during the fire season). Nunavut is excluded from the plots due to its low total area burned and low forest cover.
