  1. 🌳 Calgary's municipal boundaries contain 58,673 contiguous vegetative clusters ("patches") covering a total area of 39,008.75 hectares.
    📊 Median patch size is just 0.02 ha or less (1–2 pixels at Sentinel-1/Sentinel-2 resolution).
    This confirms an extreme power-law hyper-concentration across the urban landscape:
    Fewer than 0.09% of all patches (just 50 out of 58,673) account for 52.29% of the city's total green cover (over 20,400 ha).
    ☝️ The urban spatial fabric effectively splits into "two worlds":
    🔹 Ecological Backbone (Top-50): Just 50 large contiguous tracts (Nose Hill Park, Fish Creek Provincial Park, the Bow and Elbow river valleys, ravine systems, and peripheral grasslands) form Calgary's unbroken ecological framework.
    🔹 Fragmented Urban Matrix (58,623 patches): The remaining 47.7% of urban vegetation is dispersed across tens of thousands of residential lawns, private yards, and road medians, with an average patch size of ~0.3 ha.

  10. Minnesota governor declares peacetime emergency, activates National Guard for wildfire response

    Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Sunday declared a peacetime emergency and mobilized the National Guard to help battle several major wildfires in the state. In Crow Wing County, the Flanders Fire has grown to an estimated 1,200 acres. As of Sunday morning, it is 0% contained. Another fire, several miles north of Two Harbors, has burned more than 350 acres and is 30% contained. "Unpredictable and fast-moving wildfires are putting Minnesota communities at risk," Walz said. "This emergency […]

  15. Global Fire Weather Days Surge as World Warms

    Study shows fire weather days have almost tripled worldwide since 1979. More hot, dry, windy days mean higher wildfire risk for communities and ecosystems.

  32. California's Insurance Crisis: A Fiery Intersection of Climate Change and Coverage

  33. "The increasing severity of #wildfires and #drought highlights that reforming #ForestStewardship – taking better care of the forests, including safeguarding #OldGrowthForests – is one of our best hopes to protect communities across B.C.

    Harmful #forestry practices like #clearcutting and #unsustainable #IndustrialLogging make extreme heat and wildfires worse. #Clearcuts are #tinderboxes, more prone to creating embers because dead trees and branches dry out in the hot sun and become more #flammable. Tree plantations and improperly tended young forests also increase wildfire risk: Younger trees have thinner bark and low-hanging branches that can act as ladder fuels, and the trees are often planted too close together, making it easy for fire to spread.

    Fortunately, intact and properly managed #forests are more resilient to the worsening wildfires and heatwaves. For example, #OldGrowth #rainforests have dense canopies which provide cooling shade that resists fire. They are cooler and wetter than young forests, acting as giant sponges. Old-growth trees in the drier interior have thick bark, high branches and are widely spaced which all reduce #WildfireRisk.
