This study analyzes the number of forest fires in Saskatchewan, the area burned, the fire cycle, the fire season, causes of fires, potential fire intensity, and the fire climate for two types of ecological units: ecozones & ecoregions. Analyses are performed for all forested ecozones: the boreal plain, the boreal shield, & the taiga shield. For ecoregions, only those of the boreal plain were considered. The analysis is based on 20 years (1981-2000) of fire occurrence (ignition) data, a database of large (over 200 hectare) fires for 1945-2000, and 12 years (1990-2001) of daily fire weather observations. The results reveal contrasts in the fire regime of ecozones & ecoregions and illustrate important variations in the fire regime in both time & space.

The Canadian Prairies in a Changing Climate is a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of climate change in the prairie provinces, the impacts on natural resources, communities, human health and sectors of the economy, and the adaptation options that are available for alleviating adverse impacts and taking advantage of new opportunities provided by a warmer climate.

The goal of this report is to investigate and summarize the current knowledge about fire size distribution (FSD), with special reference to how resource professionals and researchers use FSD, and where the gaps in FSD knowledge are. The focus of this investigation, given Ontario's vantage point, was the North American boreal forest. First, the report examines factors necessary to understand FSD; second, it summarizes what is reported on FSD in scientific literature; third, it reviews the past research on FSD, focusing on methodologies and approaches; finally, it offers a summary of the state of knowledge on FSD, including knowledge gap.--Document.
The world's boreal forests, which lie to the south of the Arctic, are considered to be the Earth's most significant terrestrial ecosystems. A panel of ecologists here provide a synthesis of the important patterns and processes which occur in boreal forests and review the principal mechanisms which control the forest's patterns.
