What is it about?

Fires burn large areas of boreal forests during years with climatically-increased fire hazard. Understanding the changes in frequencies of such years helps us decifer the role of large scale changes in climate on regional forest fire activity. In this study we report a regional chronology of large fire years and discuss factors behind the changes in their frequecies over the last 700 years.
