Special Issue Information
Atmosphere dedicates this special issue to characterizing and predicting bushfire for sustainable natural resource management and development. Wildfires have been an important part of ecosystems across many biomes of the world, with many natural landscapes shaped and adapted to fire. Fire regimes vary by region, by vegetation and climate, with some regions experiencing frequent catastrophic wildfires. Global warming is underway and its effects on fire dynamics are already documented, and is projected to increase significantly under many climate change scenarios.
