The annual bushfire season usually affects the grassland and shrubland of the interior, but this year large parts of the coastal forests burned as the country was hit by a severe heatwave, following years of drought. In addition to the human cost of the fires, it is estimated that a billion animals perished – an indication of the complexity of a forest ecosystem. Biodiversity is concentrated in forests, which contain more than 80% of all land animals and plants. Worldwide, is it estimated that a million species face extinction if forest loss continues at the current rate. As the climate warms, the time between wildfires is likely to become shorter, leaving little time for forests to recover. \r\n\r\nCoastal Australia is not the only area experiencing such extreme events. Recent years have seen extensive forest fires in other places that are not used to seeing them, including Alaska, northern Sweden and even Greenland. In Siberia, during a hot summer that set new temperature records, fires were triggered further north than usual by lightning that is becoming more frequent as the climate warms. In places, the ground itself burned when previously frozen soil thawed and carbon-rich peat dried out. Such fires can continue underground for months or even years. ESA’s World Fire Atlas, which uses satellite data to monitor fires across the globe, shows there were almost five times as many wildfires in August 2019 than in August 2018 – the largest increase since the project started in 1993.\r\n\r\n## Biosphere Change\r\n\r\nFire is only the most dramatic cause of many changes to the Earth’s biosphere. We have built cities across the world and even reclaimed land from the sea. Over centuries, temperate forests in Europe, Asia and North America have been cleared for agriculture. But the rapid reduction of tropical forests over the last fifty years is having an impact on many more species and a far greater amount of vegetation (biomass) than ever before. This, in turn, has important consequences for the global carbon cycle and the world’s climate. \r\n\r\nIt is estimated that land use and land use change has released at least 180 gigatonnes of carbon into the atmosphere since 1750, out of a total of 556 gigatonnes from human activity. Land use currently contributes about 23% of our annual greenhouse gas emissions, but plants and soil also absorb carbon. The land currently absorbs about twice as much carbon dioxide as it emits, but this will vary in response to environmental change and the picture is less clear for other greenhouse gases produced by agriculture, such as methane and nitrous oxide.",
