  • Boreal forest fires tend to be more intense and lethal in North America than Eurasia. Differences in tree species composition explain these differences in fire regime, and lead to contrasting feedbacks to climate.

  • The record-breaking 2023 wildfire season in Canada ( ~ 15 Mha burned) was enabled by early snowmelt, drought, and extreme weather. It had profound impacts that included evacuation of >200 communities, millions exposed to hazardous smoke, and a strain on fire-fighting resources.

  • By examining the hourly diurnal cycle of 23,557 fires in North America during 2017–2020, 1,095 overnight burning events were identified, mostly associated with extreme fires and driven by long-term drought conditions.

  • Future permafrost thaw may be underestimated unless effects of wildfire are considered. Here the authors show that wildfires in boreal permafrost peatlands influence soil temperature and seasonal thaw depth for several decades, and increase the rate of complete permafrost thaw along permafrost edges.

  • Climate change effects magnified an intense heat dome over western North America leading to record breaking fire-conducive weather, widespread burning and extreme fire activity in Canada and the United States in July 2021, suggest an analysis of upper air and surface weather.

  • Wildfires in British Columbia, Canada, have increased dramatically since the mid-2000s in response to shifts from wet to dry conditions, insect outbreaks and changes in land use practices, according to an analysis of fire and climate data over the period 1919–2021
