Wildfires play a key role in the boreal forest carbon cycle, and models suggest that accelerated burning will increase boreal C (carbon) emissions in the coming century. However, these predictions may be compromised because brief observational records provide limited constraints to model initial conditions. Here, researchers confronted this limitation by using palaeoenvironmental data to drive simulations of long-term C dynamics in the Alaskan boreal forest. [Source: Nature Climate Change]
