Enhanced future vegetation growth with elevated carbon dioxide concentrations could increase fire activity

R. J. Allen, J. Gomez, et al.

This groundbreaking research by Robert J. Allen, James Gomez, Larry W. Horowitz, and Elena Shevliakova explores the potential impact of rising atmospheric CO2 on future fire activity. The study uncovers a staggering 66.4% increase in fire carbon emissions due to enhanced vegetation growth as CO2 levels rise, signaling critical implications for climate policy.
