Global change and disturbance ecology, including the risks benefits of wildfires for humans, sustainability ecosystems biodiversity, is a current research topic in applied science. Fires their impacts are often considered context climate change, carbon dioxide emissions air pollution. Despite significant decline at global scale recent decades (cf. Wildfire Information System (GWIS)), it widespread conviction that burned area increasing due to warming. In an attempt identify how this discrepancy has arisen, we analysed IPCC reports from 2018–2023 via text mining word frequency analyses compared considerations about fire weather with findings ecology public information on internet. Both negativity bias repetition were identified. Numerous examples disasters models indicating increase composed alarming messages. Examples decreasing much less frequently communicated. Important facts ignored, especially summaries policymakers. Measured against fire-ecological conditions nature, trends exaggerated. We therefore call comprising differentiated reflection ecological processes future.

Abstract Altered fire regimes are a global challenge, increasingly exacerbated by climate change, which modifies weather and prolongs seasons. These changing conditions heighten the vulnerability of ecosystems human populations to impacts wildfires on environment, society, economy. The rapid pace these changes exposes significant gaps in knowledge, tools, technology, governance structures needed adopt informed, holistic approaches management that address both current future challenges. Integrated Fire Management is an approach combines prevention, response, recovery while integrating ecological, socio-economic, cultural factors into strategies. However, remains highly context-dependent, encompassing wide array practices with varying degrees ecological societal integration. This review explores as adaptation mitigation strategy for altered regimes. It provides overview progress challenges associated implementing across different regions worldwide. also proposes five core objectives outlines roadmap incremental steps advancing adapt ongoing regimes, thereby maximizing its potential benefit people nature.

Abstract The conjunction of lightning ignitions and dry vegetation has shaped fire regimes throughout geological time. These natural have in turn influenced the adaptation biotas globally. Anthropogenic use, however, radically transformed worldwide by extending seasons to limits bounded periods high fuel moisture. Conversely, active suppression typically limited occurrence extent ignited fires – particularly where population density is higher. Disaggregating contemporary human- lightning-caused seasonal patterns globally can shed light on magnitude anthropogenic change among biomes. Using global datasets flammability moisture thresholds we define distribution seasons. We then use a record strike disaggregate season into mixed (i.e., present) periods, before describing respective importance these amongst assess breadth against daily satellite burned area (2001–2023) contextualise areas within productivity human using established productivity-fire activity relationship. Collectively, show that current influences substantially lengthening seasons, irrespective local land practices, density, occurrence, biome type.

ABSTRACT The climate crisis requires a focus on supply chain emissions—both upstream and downstream. Although emissions typically account for the majority of company's greenhouse gas emissions, discipline management (SCM) has yet to fully engage in this discourse, leaving substantial research opportunities untapped. This editorial calls upon SCM scholars take responsibility actively study by proposing comprehensive agenda. authors explore emerging corporate interventions aimed at reducing emissions. They develop framework categorizing these as either collaborative or authoritative, targeting behavioral operational changes. Based framework, within are then discussed, following four different styles theorizing—propositional, processual, perspectival provocative—to promote theoretical advancements. By embracing agenda, can play critical role discourse have strong societal impact.

Forest fires are the result of poor land management and climate change. Depending on type affected eco-system, they can cause significant biodiversity losses. This study was conducted in Amazonas department Peru. Binary data obtained from MODIS satellite occurrence between 2010 2022 were used to build risk models. To avoid multicollinearity, 12 variables that trigger selected (Pearson ≤ 0.90) grouped into four factors: (i) topographic, (ii) social, (iii) climatic, (iv) biological. The program Rstudio three types machine learning applied: MaxENT, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random (RF). results show RF model has highest accuracy (AUC = 0.91), followed by MaxENT 0.87) SVM 0.84). In fire map elaborated with model, 38.8% region possesses a very low occurrence, 21.8% represents high-risk level zones. research will allow decision-makers improve forest Amazon prioritize prospective strategies such as installation water reservoirs areas zone. addition, it support awareness-raising actions among inhabitants at greatest so be prepared mitigate control generate solutions event occurring under different scenarios.
