Climate change increases wildfire risks in Yosemite and other national parks

New UC Berkeley-led research indicates that continued climate change could severely increase wildfire above natural levels in Yosemite, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Lassen Volcanic National Parks. The study, which was published today in Environmental Research Letters, also provides data for park managers to reduce risks by proactively targeting natural fire to decrease understory fuels.
