Abstract: 
Fire is a dominant disturbance in temperate and boreal biomes, and increasing burned area with climate change may fundamentally alter forests. Improved information about how fire-induced changes to forests may feedback to affect subsequent burning at regional scales could inform forest management and climate-mitigation strategies. However, fire is simplistically represented in Earth System Models, and regional statistical fire models often assume sufficient fuels, contributing to uncertainty in future projections. To address this challenge, we developed the Dynamic Temperate and Boreal Fire and Forest-Ecosystem Simulator (DYNAFFOREST). DYNAFFOREST represents the hierarchical structuring of forests, from individual cohorts to continental extents, making it possible to simulate feedbacks between fire and forests at broad scales over decades to centuries. We parameterized DYNAFFOREST for the western United States of America and benchmarked simulations with observations. DYNAFFOREST recreated patterns of forest cover, structure, and downed fuels, and was capable of capturing average 20th-century fire activity.

这些数据文件和代码与Hansen等人的研究相关联，该研究探讨了温带和北方生物群落中火灾的动态变化以及森林-生态系统模拟器（DYNAFFOREST）的开发与评估。摘要如下：火灾是温带和北方生物群落中的主要干扰因素，随着气候变化，燃烧面积的持续增加可能会从根本上改变森林的格局。了解火灾引起的森林变化如何反馈并影响区域尺度上的后续燃烧，对于森林管理和气候缓解策略具有重要意义。然而，地球系统模型中对火灾的表示过于简化，而区域统计火灾模型通常假设燃料充足，这导致对未来预测的不确定性。为了应对这一挑战，我们开发了动态温带和北方火灾及森林生态系统模拟器（DYNAFFOREST）。DYNAFFOREST能够模拟从个体林分到大陆范围的森林等级结构，使得在数十到数百年的时间尺度上模拟火灾与森林之间的反馈成为可能。我们对DYNAFFOREST进行了美国西部地区的参数化，并使用观测数据对模拟进行了基准测试。DYNAFFOREST成功重现了森林覆盖、结构和倒木的分布模式，并能够捕捉到20世纪平均的火灾活动。文件列表如下：
