The WSWS had the opportunity to speak to Canadian forest fire scientist, Dr. Ellen Whitman, on the recent unprecedented fires raging across the Canadian boreal forests.

Evidence of fire records under sand dunes dates to thousands of years ago. Click to read more. Wildfires are known for wreaking havoc in the world's forests, grasslands, shrublands, and other terrestrial landscapes that have plants that it uses as fuel to spread.
In what appears as a classic case of scientific quarrel, a new study is cited by local environmentalists arguing that certain studies funded by the
Wildfires impact animal populations directly, and indirectly through alteration of forest habitats. Recovery of populations and habitat structure occurs over time since fire, but knowledge is lacking about the relative importance of these processes as drivers of the occurrence of birds in fire-prone forests. We aimed to determine the extent to which canopy cover mediates the effects of a decadal increase in time since fire on the richness and occurrence of canopy bird species. We established sites at either short (5 years) or mid-range (16 years) time since fire in montane dry sclerophyll fore...
