During the submission process, you will be asked to select a type for your paper; the options are listed below. If you don’t see an exact match, please choose the best fit:
You will also be asked to select a category for your paper. The options for this are listed below. If you don’t see an exact match, please choose the best fit:
Reports on any type of research undertaken by the author(s), including:
Covers any paper where content is dependent on the author's opinion and interpretation. This includes journalistic and magazine-style pieces.
Describes and evaluates technical products, processes or services.
Focuses on developing hypotheses and is usually discursive. Covers philosophical discussions and comparative studies of other authors’ work and thinking.
Describes actual interventions or experiences within organizations. It can be subjective and doesn’t generally report on research. Also covers a description of a legal case or a hypothetical case study used as a teaching exercise.
This category should only be used if the main purpose of the paper is to annotate and/or critique the literature in a particular field. It could be a selective bibliography providing advice on information sources, or the paper may aim to cover the main contributors to the development of a topic and explore their different views.
Provides an overview or historical examination of some concept, technique or phenomenon. Papers are likely to be more descriptive or instructional (‘how to’ papers) than discursive.
Headings must be concise, with a clear indication of the required hierarchy.
The preferred format is for first level headings to be in bold, and subsequent sub-headings to be in medium italics.
Notes or endnotes should only be used if absolutely necessary. They should be identified in the text by consecutive numbers enclosed in square brackets. These numbers should then be listed, and explained, at the end of the article.
All figures (charts, diagrams, line drawings, webpages/screenshots, and photographic images) should be submitted electronically. Both colour and black and white files are accepted.
There are a few other important points to note:
Tables should be typed and submitted in a separate file to the main body of the article. The position of each table should be clearly labelled in the main body of the article with corresponding labels clearly shown in the table file. Tables should be numbered consecutively in Roman numerals (e.g. I, II, etc.).
Give each table a brief title. Ensure that any superscripts or asterisks are shown next to the relevant items and have explanations displayed as footnotes to the table, figure or plate.
Where tables, figures, appendices, and other additional content are supplementary to the article but not critical to the reader’s understanding of it, you can choose to host these supplementary files alongside your article on Insight, Emerald’s content-hosting platform (this is Emerald's recommended option as we are able to ensure the data remain accessible), or on an alternative trusted online repository. All supplementary material must be submitted prior to acceptance.
Emerald recommends that authors use the following two lists when searching for a suitable and trusted repository:
, you must submit these as separate files alongside your article. Files should be clearly labelled in such a way that makes it clear they are supplementary; Emerald recommends that the file name is descriptive and that it follows the format ‘Supplementary_material_appendix_1’ or ‘Supplementary tables’. All supplementary material must be mentioned at the appropriate moment in the main text of the article; there is no need to include the content of the file only the file name. A link to the supplementary material will be added to the article during production, and the material will be made available alongside the main text of the article at the point of EarlyCite publication.
Please note that Emerald will not make any changes to the material; it will not be copy-edited or typeset, and authors will not receive proofs of this content. Emerald therefore strongly recommends that you style all supplementary material ahead of acceptance of the article.
Emerald Insight can host the following file types and extensions:
, you should ensure that the supplementary material is hosted on the repository ahead of submission, and then include a link only to the repository within the article. It is the responsibility of the submitting author to ensure that the material is free to access and that it remains permanently available. Where an alternative trusted online repository is used, the files hosted should always be presented as read-only; please be aware that such usage risks compromising your anonymity during the review process if the repository contains any information that may enable the reviewer to identify you; as such, we recommend that all links to alternative repositories are reviewed carefully prior to submission.
Please note that extensive supplementary material may be subject to peer review; this is at the discretion of the journal Editor and dependent on the content of the material (for example, whether including it would support the reviewer making a decision on the article during the peer review process).
All references in your manuscript must be formatted using one of the recognised Harvard styles. You are welcome to use the Harvard style Emerald has adopted – we’ve provided a detailed guide below. Want to use a different Harvard style? That’s fine, our typesetters will make any necessary changes to your manuscript if it is accepted. Please ensure you check all your citations for completeness, accuracy and consistency.
References to other publications in your text should be written as follows:
, 2006) Please note, ‘ ' should always be written in italics.A few other style points. These apply to both the main body of text and your final list of references.
At the end of your paper, please supply a reference list in alphabetical order using the style guidelines below. Where a DOI is available, this should be included at the end of the reference.

There are a number of key steps you should follow to ensure a smooth and trouble-free submission.
Before submitting your work, it is your responsibility to check that the manuscript is complete, grammatically correct, and without spelling or typographical errors. A few other important points:
You will find a helpful submission checklist on the website Think.Check.Submit .
All manuscripts should be submitted through our editorial system by the corresponding author.
The only way to submit to the journal is through the journal’s ScholarOne site as accessed via the Emerald website, and not by email or through any third-party agent/company, journal representative, or website. Submissions should be done directly by the author(s) through the ScholarOne site and not via a third-party proxy on their behalf.
A separate author account is required for each journal you submit to. If this is your first time submitting to this journal, please choose the Create an account or Register now option in the editorial system. If you already have an Emerald login, you are welcome to reuse the existing username and password here.
Please note, the next time you log into the system, you will be asked for your username. This will be the email address you entered when you set up your account.
Don't forget to add your ORCiD ID during the submission process. It will be embedded in your published article, along with a link to the ORCiD registry allowing others to easily match you with your work.
Don’t have one yet? It only takes a few moments to register for a free ORCiD identifier .
Visit the ScholarOne support centre for further help and guidance.
You will receive an automated email from the journal editor, confirming your successful submission. It will provide you with a manuscript number, which will be used in all future correspondence about your submission. If you have any reason to suspect the confirmation email you receive might be fraudulent, please contact the journal editor in the first instance.
Review and decision process.
Each submission is checked by the editor. At this stage, they may choose to decline or unsubmit your manuscript if it doesn’t fit the journal aims and scope, or they feel the language/manuscript quality is too low.
If they think it might be suitable for the publication, they will send it to at least two independent referees for double anonymous peer review. Once these reviewers have provided their feedback, the editor may decide to accept your manuscript, request minor or major revisions, or decline your work.
While all journals work to different timescales, the goal is that the editor will inform you of their first decision within 60 days.
During this period, we will send you automated updates on the progress of your manuscript via our submission system, or you can log in to check on the current status of your paper. Each time we contact you, we will quote the manuscript number you were given at the point of submission. If you receive an email that does not match these criteria, it could be fraudulent and we recommend you contact the journal editor in the first instance.
Emerald’s manuscript transfer service takes the pain out of the submission process if your manuscript doesn’t fit your initial journal choice. Our team of expert Editors from participating journals work together to identify alternative journals that better align with your research, ensuring your work finds the ideal publication home it deserves. Our dedicated team is committed to supporting authors like you in finding the right home for your research.
If a journal is participating in the manuscript transfer program, the Editor has the option to recommend your paper for transfer. If a transfer decision is made by the Editor, you will receive an email with the details of the recommended journal and the option to accept or reject the transfer. It’s always down to you as the author to decide if you’d like to accept. If you do accept, your paper and any reviewer reports will automatically be transferred to the recommended journals. Authors will then confirm resubmissions in the new journal’s ScholarOne system.
Our Manuscript Transfer Service page has more information on the process.
Open access.
Once your paper is accepted, you will have the opportunity to indicate whether you would like to publish your paper via the gold open access route.
If you’ve chosen to publish gold open access, this is the point you will be asked to pay the APC (article processing charge). This varies per journal and can be found on our APC price list or on the editorial system at the point of submission. Your article will be published with a Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 user licence , which outlines how readers can reuse your work.
For UK journal article authors - if you wish to submit your work accepted by Emerald to REF 2021, you must make a ‘closed deposit’ of your accepted manuscript to your respective institutional repository upon acceptance of your article. Articles accepted for publication after 1st April 2018 should be deposited as soon as possible, but no later than three months after the acceptance date. For further information and guidance, please refer to the REF 2021 website.
All accepted authors are sent an email with a link to a licence form. This should be checked for accuracy, for example whether contact and affiliation details are up to date and your name is spelled correctly, and then returned to us electronically. If there is a reason why you can’t assign copyright to us, you should discuss this with your journal content editor. You will find their contact details on the editorial team section above.
Once we have received your completed licence form, the article will pass directly into the production process. We will carry out editorial checks, copyediting, and typesetting and then return proofs to you (if you are the corresponding author) for your review. This is your opportunity to correct any typographical errors, grammatical errors or incorrect author details. We can’t accept requests to rewrite texts at this stage.
When the page proofs are finalised, the fully typeset and proofed version of record is published online. This is referred to as the EarlyCite version. While an EarlyCite article has yet to be assigned to a volume or issue, it does have a digital object identifier (DOI) and is fully citable. It will be compiled into an issue according to the journal’s issue schedule, with papers being added by chronological date of publication.

At no other time will you be asked to contribute financially towards your article’s publication, processing, or review. If you haven’t chosen gold open access and you receive an email that appears to be from Emerald, the journal, or a third party, asking you for payment to publish, please contact our support team via . |

Understanding trends in the extent of violence against women can be helpful in challenging violence against women and gender inequality. In this paper, we compare the incidence of violence, as measured in the National Family Health Surveys, to the reporting of violence, as compiled by the National Crime Records Bureau. We also shed light on heterogeneity in incidence and reporting across India’s states. We find that violence against women is common, that most violence against women is not reported to the police, that violence by husbands is less likely to be reported than violence by others, and that the reporting of violence has not improved over the last decade and a half. These concerning findings highlight the urgent need for social and legal interventions to reduce violence against women, and to improve its reporting.
The authors would like to thank Vipul Paikra for helpful research assistance.
Sexual and physical violence against women is one of the clearest and most detrimental manifestations of gender inequa lity. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals aim at “eliminating violence against women and girls” (UNWomen 2022). And violence against women remains one of the core concerns of movements against patriarchy in India and globally (Kannabiran and Menon 2007). Despite this recogn ition, public discussions on violence against women in India are c onstrained by the lack of reliable information on the magnitude of violence against women, the extent to which cases are reported to the police, or trends in incidence and reporting (Bhattacharya 2013; Gupta 2014; Rukmini 2021).

Metrics details
The 2023 Canadian forest fires have been extreme in scale and intensity with more than seven times the average annual area burned compared to the previous four decades 1 . Here, we quantify the carbon emissions from these fires from May to September 2023 on the basis of inverse modelling of satellite carbon monoxide observations. We find that the magnitude of the carbon emissions is 647 TgC (570–727 TgC), comparable to the annual fossil fuel emissions of large nations, with only India, China and the USA releasing more carbon per year 2 . We find that widespread hot–dry weather was a principal driver of fire spread, with 2023 being the warmest and driest year since at least 1980 3 . Although temperatures were extreme relative to the historical record, climate projections indicate that these temperatures are likely to be typical during the 2050s, even under a moderate climate mitigation scenario (shared socioeconomic pathway, SSP 2–4.5) 4 . Such conditions are likely to drive increased fire activity and suppress carbon uptake by Canadian forests, adding to concerns about the long-term durability of these forests as a carbon sink 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 .
Canadian forests cover a vast area of nearly 362 million ha (ref. 9 ), amounting to 8.5% of the global forested area 10 . These forests are an important sink of carbon, absorbing fossil carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the atmosphere and slowing the pace of climate warming 11 , 12 . However, climate change is increasing forest fire activity, acting to suppress the carbon uptake capacity of these forests 13 . Although more frequent fires have been widespread, 2023 has seen forest fires on an extreme scale. With 15 million ha of Canadian forests burned (about 4% of forest area) 1 , 2023 saw more than seven times (8 σ ) the average burned area over the preceding 40 years (1983–2022 mean, 2.2 million ha; range, 0.2–7.1 million ha) 1 . The adverse societal impacts of these fires are clear: 232,000 evacuations and poor air quality affecting millions 14 . However, the carbon emissions from the fire events remain uncertain. In this study, we quantify these emissions through inverse modelling of satellite observations of carbon monoxide (CO). Then, we examine concurrent climate anomalies and projected changes in the prevalence of hot–dry weather under climate change. Finally, we discuss the implications of fires for the Canadian carbon budget.
Fire carbon emissions can be tracked from space using bottom-up and top-down approaches. Bottom-up approaches use satellite observations to track fire activity, such as burned area 15 or fire radiative power 16 . Emissions of CO 2 , CO and other trace gases are then estimated by combining the estimates of fire activity with quantities such as fuel loads and emission factors. Although these bottom-up estimates are continually improving, inventories can vary significantly in global and regional trace gas and aerosol emission estimates 15 , 17 . Top-down approaches provide a method for refining bottom-up trace gas emission estimates by optimally scaling emission estimates to be consistent with the observed concentrations of trace gases in fire plumes. A strength of this approach is that it integrates emissions from both flaming and smouldering combustion to capture net emissions.
In this study, we perform top-down estimates of CO emissions from the 2023 Canadian fires based on observational constraints from the TROPOspheric monitoring instrument (TROPOMI) space-based CO retrievals (Fig. 1a,b ). These estimates are performed using three different bottom-up fire emission inventories: the global fire emissions database (GFED4.1s) 15 , the global fire assimilation system v.1.2 (GFAS) 16 and the quick fire emissions dataset v.2.6r1 (QFED) 18 . For each inversion, the combined carbon emissions released as CO and CO 2 (CO 2 + CO) are then estimated using the CO 2 /CO emission factors from the same bottom-up database. The CO 2 /CO emission ratios can be highly variable, adding uncertainty to our analysis. We incorporate some of this uncertainty here as each bottom-up database has different mean emission ratios for Canadian forests (range, 7.7–10.8 gC of CO 2 per gC of CO 2 ). Details for these inversions are provided in the methods and a description of the inversion results and evaluation of the performance of the top-down estimates are provided in Supplementary Information sections 1 and 2 ). We find the top-down estimates are relatively insensitive to choices about inversion configuration but do show sensitivity to prescribed hydroxyl radical (OH) abundances 19 , which determine the atmospheric lifetime of the CO emitted (Supplementary Information section 1 and Supplementary Fig. 1 ).
a – c , May–September TROPOMI dry-air mole fractions of CO ( X CO ) averaged over 2019–2022 ( a ) and for 2023 ( b ) aggregated to a 2° × 2.5° grid. c , Canadian forest fire carbon emissions (from CO and CO 2 ) for the 2023 May–September fire season, compared with fire emissions during 2010–2022 (distribution shown by box-and-whisker plots). Top-down emissions over 2010–2022 are estimated from MOPITT (2010–2021) and TROPOMI (2019–2022) CO retrievals. d , A comparison of May–September Canadian fire emissions with 2022 territorial fossil carbon emissions for the ten largest emitting countries, obtained from Global Carbon Budget 2022 2 .
Figure 1c shows the bottom-up and top-down CO 2 + CO carbon emissions from fires during May–September 2023. The bottom-up datasets show large differences, ranging from 234 to 735 TgC (mean of 469 TgC). This range is reduced by 69% in the top-down estimates (570–727 TgC), which also give a larger mean estimate of 647 TgC. Emissions during 2023 far exceed typical Canadian forest fire emissions, with 2010–2022 average emissions of 29–82 TgC for the bottom-up inventories and 121 TgC for top-down estimates (Supplementary Fig. 2 ). To contextualize these numbers, we compare the top-down estimates to annual national fossil fuel emissions for the ten largest emitters (Fig. 1d ). The 5 month 2023 emissions are more than four times larger than Canadian annual fossil fuel emissions (149 TgC yr −1 ) and comparable to India’s annual emissions (740 TgC yr −1 ).
Fire activity is affected by several complex drivers, including fuel traits 20 and ignition probability 21 . However, fire weather—hot and dry conditions—has been shown to be extremely important in driving fire behaviour 22 . Climate data show an exceptionally hot and dry fire season for Canadian forests during 2023 (Fig. 2 ). This was the driest January–September period for Canadian forests since at least 1980, with about 86% of forested area having below-average precipitation and about 52% being more than 1 s.d. below the 2003–2022 average (Supplementary Fig. 4 ). May–September 2023 was the warmest since at least 1980, with about 100% of the forest area above average and about 90% being more than 1 s.d. above the 2003–2022 average. Similarly, the vapour pressure deficit (VPD), which is closely associated with fire activity 22 , 23 , 24 , was the third highest since 1980, including 85% of the forest area being above average and about 54% being more than 1 s.d. above the 2003–2022 average.

All maps are shown at a spatial resolution of 0.5° × 0.625° and Z -scores are for the area-mean of Canadian forests. Note that GFED4.1s is shown instead of the inversion results because those are at a coarser spatial resolution and cover a shorter time period, maps of prior and posterior mean fire emissions are shown in Supplementary Fig. 14 . Months are shown from January (J) to December (D).
Although hot–dry conditions were widespread across Canadian forests, there are two notable regional patterns. Western Quebec (49°–55° N, 72°–80° W), which is typically relatively wet (Supplementary Fig. 5a ), had exceptionally dry conditions during 2023, with precipitation through September being 23.7 cm (49%) below average. Coupled with extreme heat and VPD during June–July, fire emissions in this region contributed about 15% of the national total (Supplementary Fig. 6 ). The other notable region was northwestern Canada near the Great Slave Lake (57°–62° N, 110°−125° W). This region is drier than western Quebec on average, with about half the annual precipitation. However, 2023 was exceptional, with both a large precipitation deficit of 8.1 cm (27% of January–September total) and exceptionally warm conditions throughout May–September (+2.6 °C) (Supplementary Fig. 6 ). This region contributed about 61% of the total Canadian forest fire emissions.
The relationship between climate variability and fire emissions for Canadian forests is examined in Fig. 3 , which shows fire emissions as a function of temperature and precipitation Z -scores over 2003–2023 for the 0.5° × 0.625° grid cells, in which Z -scores are the anomalies divided by the standard deviation. May–September emissions are lowest for combined cool–wet conditions (5.2 gC m −2 ), whereas emissions increase when either temperature is above average (19.5 gC m −2 ) or precipitation is below average (9.2 gC m −2 ). However, emissions are largest for combined warm–dry conditions (35.7 gC m −2 ). In particular, fire emissions are much increased during exceptionally hot and dry conditions (99.6 gC m −2 , temperature Z > 1 and precipitation Z < −1). These hot–dry conditions were much more prevalent in 2023 than in preceding years, with a mean May–September T2M Z -score of 2.3 and a precipitation Z -score of −1.1 across grid cells, explaining why fire emissions were extreme during 2023. Notably, the number of individual fires during 2023 was not unusual, with 6,623 relative to a 10 yr average of 5,597 (ref. 25 ). Yet, probably primarily driven by these hot–dry conditions 24 , many of these fires grew to enormous sizes with hundreds of megafires (greater than 10,000 ha) recorded.
Mean May–September GFED4.1s CO 2 + CO fire emissions as a function of May–September T2M Z -score and January–September precipitation Z -score for each 0.5° × 0.625° forested grid cell during 2003–2023 (using 2003–2022 as a baseline). For individual years, the mean Z -scores across forested grid cells are shown with ‘X’. The projected decadal-mean temperature and precipitation Z -scores for the median CMIP6 model under SSP 2–4.5 are shown by the circles. The CMIP6 Z -scores are calculated using the 2000–2019 period as a baseline but use the reanalysis 2003–2022 standard deviations (see section on ‘Climate data’). The historical and projected T2M and precipitation over the Canadian boreal forests simulated by the CMIP6 ensemble are shown in Supplementary Fig. 12 .
Next, we examine future climate conditions in the region and how they compare to the concurrent climate conditions that led to the massive fires. Figure 3 shows the decadal mean temperature and precipitation Z -scores for the median of 27 models from the coupled model intercomparison project phase 6 (CMIP6) 26 under the moderate-warming shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) 2–4.5 (ref. 4 ). Large projected temperature increases are found to occur, with average temperatures in the 2050s similar to 2023. More modest increases in precipitation are projected, indicating a ‘speeding up’ of the water cycle, in which both evaporation and precipitation rates increase (Supplementary Fig. 12 shows ensemble distribution). Studies indicate that the combined effect will result in regional increases in moisture deficits for Canadian forests through the end of the twenty-first century 6 , 27 , 28 . Beyond the 2050s, average temperature and precipitation conditions are projected to exceed the historical range. These changes will impact the boreal carbon cycle in many ways, such as changing fuel loads and species composition, which complicates projections of future fire activity. However, increases in boreal fire emissions linked to warming have been reported over recent decades 13 , 27 , 29 , 30 and several studies have projected further increases in Canadian fire activity with future warming 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 . Thus, we find that warming, coupled with regionally increasing moisture deficits, is likely to drive increased fire carbon emissions from Canadian forests.
As a party to the Paris Agreement, Canada is obligated to track economy-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals in a national GHG inventory (NGHGI). This includes tracking emissions and removals from ‘managed’ lands, for which human interventions and practices have been applied to perform production, ecological or social functions 31 . However, the 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines for national GHG inventories 31 and Canadian NGHGI 32 differ in how emissions and removals over managed lands are categorized. The IPCC guidelines treat all emissions and removals on managed land as anthropogenic, whereas the Canadian NGHGI treats ‘natural disturbances’ as non-anthropogenic. This difference in categorization leads to large differences between the Canadian NGHGI and an estimate using the IPCC guideline definitions.
Figure 4 shows that NGHGI removals on managed forest land are almost exactly compensated by emissions from harvested wood products, such that the total CO 2 emissions for Canada are dominated by the energy sector (more than 90% of net emissions). However, we see that natural disturbances are shown to be of considerable magnitude, amounting to nearly 60% of total CO 2 emissions in 2021. The 2023 CO + CO 2 fire emissions across managed Canadian forests (see section on ‘Managed land’) are estimated to be 421 (388–461) TgC, amounting to 2.5–3 years of economy-wide CO 2 emissions.
Lines show the annual net emissions or removals from managed forest land (green), harvested wood products (brown), natural disturbances that are not counted towards Canada’s emissions (red) and the economy-wide net CO 2 emissions (grey). The top-down estimates of the 2023 CO 2 + CO fires emissions over managed land are shown in black. Total CO 2 emissions, harvested wood products and forest land emissions and removals were obtained from Table A11-1 of the NGHGI 32 , whereas natural disturbances were obtained from Table 6-5 of the NGHGI. All quantities presented are in units of teragrams of carbon (1 TgC = 1 MtC = 1,012 gC), which can be converted to units of megatonnes of CO 2 (MtCO 2 ) by multiplying by a factor of 3.664.
Regardless of their characterization, fire carbon emissions will affect the growth rate atmospheric CO 2 . As such, monitoring changes in the carbon budget across both managed and unmanaged land is important. Including all land in the Canadian carbon budget, top-down estimates find that Canadian ecosystems are a sink of CO 2 when constrained by either in situ or space-based CO 2 observations. Using both data types, an ensemble of atmospheric CO 2 inversion systems report that Canadian carbon stocks increased 366 ± 88.6 TgC yr −1 over 2015–2020 11 , contributing about 30% of the net land carbon sink. Similarly, space-based biomass estimates find carbon accumulation in Canadian boreal forests, although smaller in magnitude 13 , 33 , 34 . Thus, Canadian forests play an important role in mitigating anthropogenic emissions, slowing the rise of atmospheric CO 2 . The large carbon release resulting from the 2023 Canadian fires puts into question the durability of this sink. Others 13 showed that fires have acted to suppress the carbon uptake potential of Canadian forests over the past 30 years. Although Canadian forests have historically experienced large stand-replacing fires at infrequent intervals of 30 to more than 100 years 35 , 36 , 37 , increases in fire frequency will probably reduce biomass recovery and affect species composition 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 . It has also been argued that fire, insects and droughts may already be driving Canadian forests into a carbon source 41 , 42 . In the extreme case that expansive fires, such as that of 2023, become the norm (burning 4% of Canadian forest area), all Canadian forests could burn every 25 years. So, although the magnitude is uncertain, it is likely that increasing fire activity in Canadian forests will reduce the capacity of these Canadian forests to continue to act as a carbon sink.
The role of Canada’s fire management strategy in managing fire carbon emissions also deserves some discussion. Fire management strategies require balancing several considerations, including socioeconomic costs, ecological impacts and carbon emissions. Canada’s present strategy adopts a risk-based approach, for which decisions on whether or not to suppress fires are made on a fire-by-fire basis 43 , with differing priorities across provinces and territories. Understanding how fire regimes will change with climate change is thus of high importance, for future decision criteria and costing.
The 2023 fire season was the warmest and driest for Canadian forests since at least 1980, resulting in vast carbon emissions from forest fires. Using TROPOMI CO retrievals, we estimate the total May–September CO 2 + CO emissions from these fires to be 647 TgC (range 570–727 TgC), comparable in magnitude to India’s annual fossil fuel CO 2 emissions. The 2023 warmth was exceptional based on the last 44 years but CMIP6 climate models project that the temperatures of 2023 will become normal by the 2050s. Such changes are likely to increase fire activity 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , risking the carbon uptake potential of Canadian forests. This will impact allowable emissions for reaching warming targets, as reduced carbon sequestration by ecosystems must be compensated for by adjusting anthropogenic emissions reductions.
Precipitation estimates were derived from Climate Prediction Center (CPC) global unified gauge-based analysis of daily precipitation data provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration from their website at https://psl.noaa.gov (refs. 44 , 45 ). MERRA-2 2 m temperature (T2M) and dew point temperature at 2 m (T2MDEW) were obtained from the single-level diagnostics file 3 . VPD was calculated from these quantities using:
where es is the saturation vapour pressure and ea is the vapour pressure, calculated from T2MDEW and T2M, respectively, using the formulation of ref. 46 . The Z -scores for precipitation, T2M and VPD were calculated relative to the 20-year baseline of 2003–2022; for example, for T2M this is calculated as:
where T2M year is the May–September mean T2M for a given year and T2M 2003–2022 is the 20-element ensemble of May–September mean T2Ms during 2003–2022.
CMIP6 data were downloaded from the Canadian Climate Data and Scenarios website ( https://climate-scenarios.canada.ca/?page=cmip6-scenarios ). We examine the ensemble median of 27 models provided on a 1° × 1° grid (technical documentation at https://climate-scenarios.canada.ca/?page=pred-cmip6-notes ). The models included are based on data availability and are tabulated at https://climate-scenarios.canada.ca/?page=cmip6-model-list . T2M and precipitation are analysed for the historical and future scenarios. We combine the historical simulation with SSP 2–4.5 (ref. 4 ), shown in the main text or SSP 5–8.5 as shown in Supplementary Fig. 7 .
The Z -scores are calculated from the median of the CMIP6 ensemble by calculating the temporal mean of the median model mean over 2000–2019 for a given grid cell, whereas the reanalysis data are used to estimate internal variability. Therefore, the T2M Z -score is calculated as:
Fossil co emissions.
Anthropogenic CO emissions are obtained from the community emissions data system (CEDS) for historical emissions 47 ; specifically we use version CEDS-2021-04-21 (ref. 48 ).
Fire CO 2 and CO emissions are obtained from the GFED, GFAS and QFED databases. GFED4.1s 15 provides estimates of biomass burning using a biogeochemical model ingesting MODIS 500 m burned area 49 in combination with 1 km thermal anomalies and 500 m surface reflectance observations to estimate burned area associated with small fires using a statistical model 50 . These data were downloaded from https://www.globalfiredata.org/ . GFAS v.1.2 provides estimates of daily biomass burning emissions by assimilating MODIS fire radiative power observations 16 . These data were downloaded from the atmosphere data store ( https://ads.atmosphere.copernicus.eu ). We use v.2.6 of the QFED gridded emission estimates 18 . These data were downloaded from https://portal.nccs.nasa.gov/datashare/iesa/aerosol/emissions/QFED/v2.6r1/0.25/QFED/ . For all biomass burning datasets, we release fire emissions at the model surface but incorporate a 3 hourly diurnal cycle based on ref. 51 . Year-specific emissions are used for the prior in the atmospheric CO inversions.
Biogenic emissions, atmospheric CO production and OH data were all derived from the outputs of the MOMO-Chem chemical data assimilation 52 . An updated version of the tropospheric chemistry reanalysis v.2 (TCR-2) 53 produced using MOMO-Chem is used to evaluate the atmospheric production and loss of CO. The reanalysis is produced through the assimilation of several satellite measurements of ozone, CO, NO 2 , HNO 3 and SO 2 . The chemical loss of CO was estimated using the reanalysis OH fields. Because of the multiconstituent data assimilation, the reanalysis OH shows improved agreements in global distributions over remote oceans in comparison with the ATom aircraft measurements from the surface to the upper troposphere 53 . Constraints obtained for OH profiles have a large potential to influence the chemistry of the entire troposphere, including oxidation of non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) to estimate the chemical production of CO. The biogenic emissions at the surface were obtained from the model of emissions of gases and aerosols from Nature v.2.1 (MEGAN2.1) 54 . Year-specific fields were only available through 2018 and estimates for that year are repeated for more recent years. We also perform a supplemental sensitivity analysis for the impact of prescribed OH abundances on inferred emissions using the fields of ref. 55 , which are commonly used for GEOS-Chem methane inversions 56 .
TROPOMI is a grating spectrometer aboard the ESA Sentinel-5 Precursor (S5P) satellite which measures Earth-reflected radiances 57 . CO total column densities are retrieved in the shortwave infrared (around 2.3 μm) using the shortwave infrared CO retrieval algorithm 58 , 59 . TROPOMI CO retrievals 60 were downloaded from the Copernicus data space ecosystem ( https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/ ). We use S5P RPRO L2 CO (processor v.2.4.0) through 25 July 2022, then switch to S5P OFFL L2 CO for more recent data (processor v.2.5.0 or 2.5.0). Retrieved CO total column densities are then converted to dry-air mole fractions of CO ( X CO ) using the dry-air surface pressure and hypsometric equation. The column averaging kernel is similarly converted to mole-fraction space. Individual retrievals (quality flag ≥ 0.5) from each orbit are aggregated into super-observations using the model grid (2° × 2.5°).
The retrieval uncertainty on super-observations is taken to be the mean uncertainty on all retrievals in a given super-observation. This approach is used because systematic errors may exist between retrievals, such that assuming random errors would underestimate the true retrieval error. For assimilation into NASA carbon monitoring system-flux (CMS-Flux), we calculate observational errors that incorporate error in the atmospheric transport model. For this, we follow the approach of ref. 61 . First, we perform a forward model simulation with the prior fluxes for 2019–2023. Then we take the observational uncertainty to be the standard deviation between the simulated and real TROPOMI super-observations over a moving window of 30° latitude, 30° longitude and 30 days (across all years). The uncertainties estimated using this approach range over 3.5–14.3 ppb (5–95 percentiles), whereas retrieval errors range over 1.4–4.9 ppb. Thus, the observational errors are dominated by representativeness errors.
We use the MOPITT (measurements of pollution in the troposphere) satellite thermal-infrared–near-infrared (TIR–NIR) CO retrieval. Version 9 (L2V19.9.3) 62 is used from 2009 to 31 October 2022, whereas L2V19.10.3.beta is used from 1 November 2022 onwards. These data were downloaded from the EarthData ASDC ( https://asdc.larc.nasa.gov/data/MOPITT/ ). As with TROPOMI, profile retrievals were converted into dry-air mole fractions of CO ( X CO ) for assimilation; however, unlike TROPOMI, we do not generate super-observations but instead assimilate individual observations. This is because the footprint of MOPITT retrievals (22 × 22 km 2 ) is much coarser than TROPOMI retrievals (3 × 7 km 2 ).
The total carbon column observing network (TCCON) consists of ground-based Fourier transform spectrometers which retrieve X CO , X CO 2 and other species from observations of solar radiation 63 . In this study, we examine GGG2020 (ref. 64 ) TCCON data from Park Falls 65 and East Trout Lake 66 . These data were obtained from the TCCON Data Archive hosted by CaltechDATA at https://tccondata.org . Super-observations are created for each site as hourly averages; we only include hours with five or more observations.
We perform a series of CO inversion analyses using the CMS-Flux atmospheric inversion system. This inversion model is descended from the GEOS-Chem adjoint model 67 and has been used for CO 2 (refs. 68 , 69 ) and CO inversion analyses 70 . The inversions in this study are all performed globally at 2° × 2.5° spatial resolution using MERRA-2 reanalysis. CEDS anthropogenic emissions, biogenic atmospheric CO production, direct biogenic CO emissions and fire emissions (from GFED4.1s, GFAS or QFED) and atmospheric OH fields are all prescribed in the forward simulations (see section on ‘Sources and sinks’). Four-dimensional variational data assimilation (4D-Var) is used to optimize scaling factors on the net surface flux for each grid cell (combined anthropogenic, fire and direct biogenic CO flux). The posterior CO fluxes are then decomposed into anthropogenic, fire and biogenic fluxes using the fractional contribution of the prior (an approach widely used for CO inversions).
A series of MOPITT X CO inversions are performed over 2010–2021. Weekly fluxes are optimized over the period 7 November of the preceding year (YYYY − 1) to 1 February of the next year (YYYY + 1), the optimized fluxes in the desired year are retained (YYYY) and the fluxes outside this period are discarded as spin-up or spin-down. These inversions are performed using the GFED4.1s fire inventory. Prior uncertainties on emissions are assumed to be proportional to the emissions, with a scale factor uncertainty of 200%.
TROPOMI X CO inversions are performed over 2019–2023. These inversions are performed over a truncated period of 1 April to 30 September, with April then being discarded as spin-up. Several different inversion configurations are used to quantify the uncertainty in posterior fluxes due to both Bayesian posterior uncertainties and systematic choices about error specification and inversion configuration, both of which have been shown to contribute significantly to inversion error estimates 11 .
Three ensembles of inversions are performed on the basis of the three different prior fire inventories: GFED4.1s, GFAS or QFED (Extended Data Fig. 1a ). Each prior inventory was subjected to four different experimental configurations (Extended Data Fig. 1b ). In one case, the X CO super-observations error is taken to be the mean retrieval uncertainty across all retrievals included in a given super-observation. This approach typically gives an uncertainty of 1.3–4.9 ppb. The other case uses an observational error estimate that incorporates representativeness errors (see section on ‘TROPOMI’), which are typically between 3.5 and 14.3 ppb. The experimental configurations also differ by the treatment of prior uncertainties on the fluxes. These uncertainties are not well known a priori, thus we use two very different approaches. In the first approach, we assume that the errors on fluxes are equal to 200% of the prior flux estimate. In the second approach, we assume that flux uncertainties are near constant in flux units (scale factor uncertainty times control flux is constant, this is truncated to scale factors uncertainties between 0.25 and 1,000). Finally, we also vary the temporal optimization to either 3 or 7 days. As with the prior flux uncertainties, there are many possible choices for temporal optimization, so we choose two reasonable estimates to quantify the sensitivity to this choice. The spread in maximum a posteriori estimates across these different set-ups gives an indication of the uncertainty in estimated fluxes due to the set-up decisions.
We also estimate the Bayesian posterior uncertainty (Extended Data Fig. 1c ), which derives from uncertainties in the prior fluxes and observations. This uncertainty is estimated using the Monte Carlo method introduced by ref. 71 and formalized by ref. 72 We perform the experiment during 2023 for each prior inventory and use 40 inversion ensemble members using the inversion configuration with TROPOMI X CO representativeness errors and 7 day optimization.
Finally, for each prior inventory, we calculate the posterior best estimates and uncertainties from the experiments described above (Extended Data Fig. 1d ). The best estimate is taken to be the mean across the four different inversion configurations. The uncertainty on this estimate is taken as the square-root of the sum of the variances resulting from the different inversion configurations and Monte Carlo posterior covariance estimate. The overall best estimate is taken to be the average across the best estimates for the prior inventory ensembles and the overall uncertainty is taken to be the range of 1 σ uncertainties across the three prior inventory ensembles.
We estimate posterior CO 2 fluxes from the posterior CO emissions using the CO 2 /CO emission ratios provided by the prior GFED4.1s, GFAS and QFED inventories. Each inventory has different CO 2 /CO emission; thus, we use the emission ratio to estimate the posterior CO 2 from the same inventory that was used as the prior inventory. This incorporates some uncertainty CO 2 /CO emission ratio into the CO 2 emission estimates.
Forest area.
Forest area is defined using v.6.1 of the MODIS MCD12C1 product 73 . On the basis of the type 1 majority land cover, we define forests to include the categories evergreen needleleaf forests, evergreen broadleaf forests, deciduous needleleaf forests, deciduous broadleaf forests, mixed forests, woody savannas and savannas.
The map of managed lands 74 was accessed through personal communication with M. Hafer and A. Dyk (the map was only created for cartographic communication purposes). The extent of land considered managed forest in Canada for the purposes of GHG reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change cannot be mapped in detail. That information comes from provincial/territorial forest inventories that are not spatially explicit and cannot be mapped. Supplementary Fig. 13 shows the managed land map and the fractional managed/unmanaged for 2° × 2.5° grid cells.
