Fire-Ecosystem Interactions Under Global Environmental Changes
Fire-Ecosystem Interactions Under Global Environmental Changes
Session ID#: 282601
Session Description:
Wildfire plays a critical role in shaping ecosystems worldwide, but its ecological impacts vary across regions and are influenced by both environmental conditions and human activities. This session invites contributions examining fire impacts on ecosystems, carbon cycling, and biogeochemical processes across spatial and temporal scales, including two-way feedbacks such as ecosystem-driven changes in fire regimes. Topics of interest include: (1) vegetation mortality and recovery in forests, savannas, shrublands, and grasslands; (2) above- and belowground carbon dynamics; (3) biogeochemical cycling; and (4) biodiversity loss. We welcome studies using remote sensing, field observations, AI, and ecosystem or Earth system models to investigate these interactions. By bringing together interdisciplinary approaches and diverse datasets, this session aims to advance understanding of fire–ecosystem feedbacks and support more effective fire and land management in a changing environment.
