Briefing: Longer wildfire seasons pose an increasing threat for species under climate change

Recent research from the University of Gothenburg indicates that wildfires are becoming more frequent and affecting new regions globally as a result of climate change.

This trend poses a significant risk to thousands of plant species, increasing their vulnerability and potentially disrupting existing ecosystems.

The findings underscore the urgent need for infrastructure and management strategies to mitigate the impacts of prolonged wildfire seasons on biodiversity.
