The largest study of Canada's catastrophic 2023 wildfire season concludes it is 'inescapable' that the record burn was caused by extreme heat and parching drought, while adding the amount of young forests consumed could make recovery harder.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl DyckThe largest study of Canada's catastrophic 2023 wildfire season concludes it is "inescapable" that the record burn was caused by extreme heat and parching drought, while adding the amount of young forests consumed could make recovery harder.
The paper finds that although there were differences in how the 2023 fire season played out in Western, Northern, Eastern and Atlantic Canada, the underlying causes were the same. That season had more extreme fire weather -- defined as a combination of heat and drought that exceeds 95 per cent of all fire season days -- than any year since records began in 1940.
The fires also burned more than 10,000 square kilometres of forest that had already burned within the last three decades. The report says more than 3,000 square kilometres of commercial forest in Quebec is now vulnerable to "regeneration failures."
