Anthropogenic warming drives earlier wildfire season onset in California
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
Wildfires in California are starting earlier, driven by climate change and natural climate variability. While natural variability played a significant role, anthropogenic warming advanced fire season onset in most ecoregions, especially in the north, primarily due to warmer temperatures and earlier snowmelt. Southern California shows less of this trend due to fuel limitations and more complex climate influences.
