Wildfires are getting deadlier and costing more. Experts warn they’re becoming unstoppable
“Climate change sets the stage for these disasters.”
"The number of deaths from fires was likely a gross underestimate. One database recorded 19 direct deaths from fires in Indonesia in 2015, but the resulting air pollution was implicated in about 100,000 premature deaths from respiratory problems."

Intraspecific variability of #serotiny in #Pinus #banksiana
Rear-edge populations (with low #fire frequency) are less serotinous & more variably than range-core #fireprone pops where serotiny is more uniformly high, by Pelletier et al https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2745.14041 #JEcol
That is, results for Pinus banksiana (#boreal) are quite similar to those for P. #halepensis & P. #pinaster (#mediterranean species).
