Wildfire and ecosystems

A number of enormously destructive fires raged around the globe in 2018. Wildfires are an integral part of ecosystems, but human activities and climate change disturb ecosystems and can change fire characteristics and their impacts.

Here, we bring together a collection of research and opinion articles in Nature Geoscience that explore the trends and impacts of wildfires in disturbed ecosystems. In addition to these pieces, we present selected articles published in Nature, Nature Ecology and Evolution, Nature Climate Change, Nature Plants and Nature Communications.
