A.Mohan, M.De-Miguel, S.Climate teleconnections modulate global burned areaART-2023-132910Climate teleconnections (CT) remotely influence weather conditions in many regions on Earth, entailing changes in primary drivers of fire activity such as vegetation biomass accumulation and moisture. We reveal significant relationships between the main global CTs and burned area that vary across and within continents and biomes according to both synchronous and lagged signals, and marked regional patterns. Overall, CTs modulate 52.9% of global burned area, the Tropical North Atlantic mode being the most relevant CT. Here, we summarized the CT-fire relationships into a set of six global CT domains that are discussed by continent, considering the underlying mechanisms relating weather patterns and vegetation types with burned area across the different world’s biomes. Our findings highlight the regional CT-fire relationships worldwide, aiming to further support fire management and policy-making.2023http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/12579210.1038/s41467-023-36052-8http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/125792oai:zaguan.unizar.es:125792info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/101037419/EU/Innovative technologies and socio-ecological-economic solutions for fire resilient territories in Europe./FIRE-RESThis project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 101037419-FIRE-RESinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/860787/EU/PyroLife - training the next generation of integrated fire management experts/PyroLifeThis project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 860787-PyroLifeinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-116556RA-I00Nature communications 14 (2023), 427 [10 pp.]byhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
