Hydroclimatic Rebound Drives Extreme Fire in California's Non‐Forested Ecosystems
Hydroclimatic rebound occurs when unusually wet periods are followed by intense drying, or vice versa, creating sharp moisture swings. We show that this process drives extreme fire activity in Califo...

🎉 New in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science: “Challenges in assessing Fire Weather changes in a warming climate.” We quantify a ~65% rise in extreme fire‑weather days (1980–2023) and show common daily‑proxy methods can overestimate trends by up to 10%.
