Beyond direct meteorological constraints, climate change has already demonstrated indirect impacts on prescribed fire implementation. Extreme meteorological events, especially severe to historically unprecedented drought conditions, have been contributing factors to several prescribed fires that “escaped” and became disastrous wildfires. The societal and political fallout from such events has led to multiple temporary U.S.-wide moratoria on prescribed fire (such as after the 2000 Cerro Grande Fire 37 and the 2022 Hermits Peak Fire 38. Longer fire seasons also mean that fire personnel are committed to fighting fire in some regions–which in turn reduces the number of trained personnel available to implement burns in other regions where conditions are favorable. In addition, longer fire seasons are particularly challenging for federal agencies since their firefighting workforce is dominated by seasonal employees who can only work for limited durations 33, 34, 35. Air quality conditions limit prescribed burns although practitioners did not cite it as a major barrier in the western US (Schultz et al. 2019). The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announces daily decisions on “burn” vs. “no burn” days based on atmospheric conditions. Archived CARB burn decisions from 1998 to 2020 were accessed from https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/smp/histor/histor.htm. BFRS is located within the North Mountain Counties air basin, where allowable burn days are further categorized as either superior, good, fair, or marginal. Burning on marginal burn days is variable from district to district, but in this region burns have typically been allowed on these days. Thus, only no-burn days were considered to limit burning.

An increasing proportion of air pollution in urban areas is coming from wood-burning stoves, which have taken off in popularity in recent years, partly for aesthetic reasons and in some cases in response to the high price of fossil fuels. Las plantaciones jóvenes son particularmente vulnerables a los incendios. Los efectos de una alta severidad del fuego en plantaciones jóvenes se convierten en pérdidas de las inversiones previas en la reforestación y también en pérdidas de ganancias futuras en los servicios ecosistémicos. Condujimos quemas prescriptas en tres plantaciones de coníferas mixtas de aproximadamente 33 años de edad que había sido previamente raleadas y trituradas. La quema se realizó durante febrero para demostrar la efectividad de las quemas de invierno, lo cual no es común en las Sierras Nevadas de California, EEUU. Resultados Collectively, these findings imply that, in addition to the many non-climatic barriers to prescribed fire implementation 31, climate change will likely further complicate efforts to use prescribed fire as a wildfire risk management and ecological enhancement tool. As has been evidenced by public policy conversations and real-world fire suppression decisions made in response to high-profile prescribed fire escapes 36, 37, contemporary practitioners of prescribed fire are operating under climate and vegetat The impact upon the world’s climate will be even more significant than this. According to data from the European Union’s satellite monitoring service, more than 1.7bn tons of planet-heating gases have been released this year by the enormous fires – about three times the total emissions that Canada, a major fossil fuel-producing nation, itself produces each year.

A longer burn timeClimate change has already resulted in more extreme wildfire burning conditions due to the warming and drying of vegetation across the WUS 23. Despite these trends, there is widespread scientific agreement that a blanket fire exclusion policy will only exacerbate the problem 49 and a growing recognition surrounding the urgent need to decouple wildfire as a necessary ecosystem process from its sometimes catastrophic effects in a contemporary context. Increased fire on the landscape is inevitable in a warming climate, but there are active choices to be made regarding whether that fire comes in the form of increasingly high-intensity conflagrations—due to further increases in fuel loading, long-term vegetation aridification, and increasingly extreme fire weather conditions—or as the result of carefully planned, generally lower-intensity, and typically net-beneficial prescribed burning. It is possible that the much higher totals estimated from CYBA studies may be due to the use of very high residue burning ratios The escalating wildfire crisis across much of the American West has garnered considerable international attention due to increasingly severe societal and ecological outcomes. Such impacts–including both the direct effects of destructive wildfires (thousands of structures destroyed and hundreds of civilians killed 1) as well as the indirect effects of prolonged air pollution episodes yielding greatly increased excess morbidity and mortality 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and increased post-fire hydrologic hazards 7—have spurred urgent policy conversations centered on solutions. Make sure that your loft has at least 10-11 inches (270 mm) of insulation. Any home with 4 inches (100 mm) or less should have it topped up. Ideally you should heat your home to a temperature of at least 18 °C. This is particularly important if you have reduced mobility, are 65 or over, or have a health condition, such as heart or lung disease. Having room temperatures slightly over 18 °C could be good for your health.
