23% of tree cover losses result from wildfires and climate change increase their frequency and power. [20] The rising temperatures cause massive wildfires especially in the Boreal forests. One possible effect is the change of the forest composition. [21] Deforestation can also cause forests to become more fire prone through mechanisms such as ...
