Direct and indirect climate controls predict heterogeneous early-mid 21st century wildfire burned area across western and boreal North America.
Predicting wildfire under future conditions is complicated by complex interrelated drivers operating across large spatial scales. Annual area burned (AAB) is a useful index of global wildfire activity. Current and antecedent seasonal climatic conditions, and the timing of snowpack melt, have been su...
