Tree species influence boreal forest fire behavior and subsequent effects on climate
Irvine CA (SPX) Feb 06, 2015 - For a better understanding of how forest fires behave and interact with climate, scientists are turning to the trees. A new study out of UC Irvine shows that differences in individual tree species between Eurasia and North America alter the continental patterns of fire - and that blazes burning the hottest actually cool the climate. "High-intensity canopy fires are prevalent in boreal Nort ... more
