Recommended Readings- Advancing Earth and Space Science's "Fire in the Earth System" issue Synopsis: Many aspects of fire-related research are growing rapidly, in part as a response to recent, major fire seasons in fire-prone regions such as Australia, the Mediterranean region, and the western United States, but also to unprecedented fire activity in areas like the Amazon basin or the Arctic. The interest in and the need for better scientific understanding of fire are expected to continue to rise due to widespread projections that climate warming, in combination with land-use changes, will increase fire activity, fire impacts, and extreme fire behavior. This Special Collection brings together new research on myriad aspects of fire, including physical and biogeochemical processes associated with wildfires, implications for human and ecosystem health, effects on water resources and critical infrastructure, fires in the wildland-urban interface, the use of prescribed fire and other mitigation strategies, and new modeling efforts to characterize potential future fire regime under a warmer climate. We solicit manuscripts on research representing new advances in understanding these and other aspects of fire, and we especially encourage cross-disciplinary consideration of fire-related processes.
