We wrote a paper about impacts of large-fire episodes in vegetation dynamics of boreal forests during the Holocene in Journal of Biogeography. We find that
fire size was relatively more important in determining the long-term vegetation
trajectories in comparison with fire frequency. As already observed in others parts of the Northern Hemisphere, the projected increase in wildfires over the next decades could enhance the propagation of large-fire events in the boreal ecosystem. The impact of climate change on the rate of occurrence of large-fire episodes must be a focal point in future investigations!
