Correction to: Nature Climate Change https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-021-01027-4, published online 29 April 2021.

In the version of this Article originally published, for Fig. 5b,c the red and black outlines of the data points were not explained, thus the following sentence has been added to the caption: “Red outlines indicate models that represent fire processes and black outlines indicate models that lack representation of fires.” The online versions of the Article have been corrected.
