The study looked at how wildfires in North American boreal forests will change in the future due to climate change. By using a special forest model, researchers found that as temperatures rise, there will be more fires, but also more deciduous trees which are less flammable. Surprisingly, despite drier conditions, the overall risk of fires may decrease in many areas due to changes in vegetation. This means that the future forests in this region may have less biomass and more deciduous trees, leading to less severe wildfires. These findings show that understanding how vegetation and climate interact is crucial for predicting future forest and wildfire conditions in boreal North America.
