Across Europe, climate-driven forest disturbances, such as wildfires and insect outbreaks, are expected to increase over the next century, according to a new large-scale modeling study in Science, substantially altering forested landscapes continent-wide. https://scim.ag/4uwZMmH
Climate change will increase forest disturbances in Europe throughout the 21st century
Wildfires, insect outbreaks, and storms cause large pulses of tree mortality. Climate change amplifies these forest disturbances, yet their future magnitude and extent remain uncertain. Here, we simul...

What is the cost of wildfire, windthrow and bark beetles for Europe’s forestry? We estimate that disturbances reduce Europe’s forest value by €115 bn, more than doubling to €247 bn under severe climate change. Led by @johannesmohr.bsky.social, out in @natclimate.nature.com doi.org/10.1038/s415...

"Years with such extreme FWI metrics are 88-152% more likely across global forested lands under a contemporary (2011–2040) climate compared to a quasi-preindustrial (1851–1900) climate, with the most pronounced increased risk in temperate and Amazonian forests." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Here is some early Sentinel-2 footage (May 26, 2025) of the 25LF-SHOE wildfire near Prince Albert National Park (Saskatchewan). This fire has since become the largest active fire of the 2025 season in Canada, with over 550,000 hectares burned as of today, June 17, 2025.
I'm a bit late on this, but here is Sentinel-2 footage (June 6, 2025) of the G90216 fire in northern British Columbia. The western front is over 50 km long, and the entire fire is still out of control, with ~211,000 hectares burned.
Zabaikalsky Krai is a rural federal region, with < 1.5 million people in an area a little smaller than Sweden. This is a transition zone from the steppe grasslands in the south to southern extent of the boreal forest in the north. These are likely fires set to cover up illegal logging. #Wildfires

Natural disturbances are often invoked as an argument against creating new forest reserves. But are reserves more affected by disturbances than managed forests? For C Europe the answer is no, in fact reserves have lower disturbance rate & severity than managed forests! doi.org/10.1111/1365...
