  "description": "This data release contains a set of 21st-century burned-area projections to explicitly account for fire-fuel feedbacks in boreal North America for the years 2010 - 2100. Wildfire regimes in the boreal forest biome of North America are vulnerable to shifts in climate, and significant intensifications in area burned are anticipated under many 21st-century global climate model (GCM) projections. However, fire-fuel feedbacks - or how fire-induced vegetation shifts may limit future climate-induced burning - are generally not accounted for in these projections. Such estimates of future fire activity are consequently relatively unconstrained, representing a key source of uncertainty and therefore of limited use in natural-resource management decisions. This data set aims to address these uncertainties with burned-area projections that include fire-fuel feedbacks in the boreal region of North America.",
