11 000 years of fire history and climate in the mountain hemlock rain forests of southwestern British Columbia based on sedimentary charcoal (2003, background): “Long-term charcoal records are useful for testing general circulation model and regional model simulations of fire climate and investigating links between forest dynamics and the global carbon cycle (Clark et al. 1997; Flannigan et al. 2001).”
Trends and periodicities in the Canadian Drought Code and their relationships with atmospheric circulation for the southern Canadian boreal forest (2004, background): “Contrasting results were found for central Canada, suggesting an increase in dry conditions as a response to climate change (Flannigan et al. 2001).”
Can forest management based on natural disturbances maintain ecological resilience (2006, background): “…fires resulting from a large “pulse” of dead forests across the landscape combined with forecast increases in the severity of fire weather; Flannigan et al. 2001) provides essential context for designing a strategic management approach that may sustain resilience during times of rapid…”
Potential climate change impacts on fire intensity and key wildfire suppression thresholds in Canada (2017, background): “The potential impacts of climate change on wildland fire danger in the boreal forest has been studied for decades and are well understood in general (Flannigan and Van Wagner 1991, Stocks 1993, Stocks et al 1998, Flannigan et al 1998, Flannigan et al 2001).”

Fire in the Earth System (2009, background): “Flannigan et al. (2001) addressed this by showing that application of”
Rates of peat accumulation during the postglacial period in 32 sites from Alaska to Newfoundland, with special emphasis on northern Minnesota (2003, background): “7% of dry mass (Gorham 1991), are 24 (median) and 26 (mean) g·m–2·year–1, close to the mean rate of 29 g·m–2·year–1 previously estimated by Gorham (1991). It is a little greater than the current rate of accumulation (21 g C·m–2·year–1) calculated from Finnish data by Clymo et al.”
Analysis of vegetation distribution in Interior Alaska and sensitivity to climate change using a logistic regression approach (2005, background): “Vegetation data for Canada were based on a 1995 map derived from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) (Cihlar et al., 1996), which was crosswalked to three major vegetation types: tundra, deciduous forest and spruce forest.”
