TL;DR: A suggested return to the drier climate regimes of the past would imply major changes in the temporal dynamics of fire–climate relationships and in area burned, a reduction in the mean age of the forest, and changes in species composition of the North American boreal forest.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used large lightning fire occurrence and area burnt data to define eight centers of large wildfire variability in Canada and Alaska during 1959-1999 and found that strong relations with Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) at interdecadal timescales and with El Nino Southern Oscillations (ENSO) and Arctic Oscillated (AO) mostly at interannual (2 to 6 years) timescale.

TL;DR: A comparison of solar activity and terrestrial temperature records, both derived from tree rings (i.e., without dating uncertainties), with identification of detailed and highly quantified time and timescale-dependent characteristics of solar forcing on climate through the current interglacial in the context of oceanic variability was performed as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline some of the current understanding of the processes by which climate/meteorology controls wildfire behavior by focusing on four criticalstages of wildfire development: fuel drying, ignition, spread, and extinction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence of high spatial synchrony in an area affected by mountain pine beetle (MPB, Dendroctonus ponderosae) across large distances in British Columbia, Canada.
