Chen, Y., R.D. Field, R.C. Scholten, and J.T. Randerson, 2026: Persistent 2023-2025 wildfire extremes in Canada produced unprecedented emissions and air-quality impacts. Glob. Change Biol., 32, no. 4, e70891, doi:10.1111/gcb.70891.

Wildfires play a central role in the Earth's carbon cycle and are a major driver of regional air quality. As the climate warms, regional megafire complexes are becoming increasingly common. Canada has recently emerged as a focal region of this shift. In 2023, record-breaking fires in Canada burned an estimated 12.7-18.6 million hectares (Mha), releasing substantial amounts of carbon into the atmosphere and causing widespread impacts on air quality and vegetation loss.
