Differences in flammability and risk between human- and lightning-ignited fires are obvious. Our new paper reveals this issue with strong implications for fire modeling and management.
19 Feb 2025
Risky days for anthropogenic fires are growing faster than risky days for lightning-caused fires. Human-caused fires can occur in wetter conditions, as they ignite in dead grass or wood, rather than in the moist canopy where lightning strikes. Read now: ow.ly/c2X650V290e

Our recent study, led by @rohansimkin published in @GlobalChangeBio, highlights the impact of rapid urbanization on the emergence of zoonotic diseases worldwide. The risk is particularly high in the Global South. Full paper: doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70039
ALT The distribution of zoonotic host richness (reds) and human population density (blues) in the wildlandāurban interface varies globally. Panels (b and d) show in detail regions in the Global South with large populations living in the WUI with high zoonotic potential: Brazil and Central America, Southeast Asia, and equatorial Africa, respectively. Map lines delineate study areas and do not necessarily depict accepted national boundaries.

Led by @ArashGhoddousi, our study on 52 protected areas (PAs) in the Caucasus shows challenges in preventing rangeland degradation from overgrazing. Multiple-use PAs were notably less effective than strictly protected ones.
