| justification | (1) Fire variables (burned area fraction and fire carbon emissions) will be utilized to: a) Analyze historical changes in fire patterns and project future scenarios under various climate and socio-economic conditions, informing long-term environmental planning and policy-making. b) Assess and improve fire simulations in coupled Earth System Models, leading to more accurate climate predictions and a deeper understanding of Earth's complex systems. (2) A comprehensive set of variables including carbon, nitrogen, water, and energy cycles; vegetation distribution and structure; surface climate (e.g., temperature, precipitation, wind speed); atmospheric circulation, composition, and chemistry; sea surface temperature, sea water salinity and sea ice coverage will be analyzed to: a) Investigate the drivers behind changing fire regimes. b) Understand the underlying cross-sphere feedbacks between fire and various Earth system components. |
