Short summary
By analyzing charcoal and pollen in lake sediments from a high-value drinking water supply area, this research found that forests on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia experienced more frequent wildfires in the past. Recently, cooler and moister climate has led to fewer fires and denser forests, with western sites experiencing the most change. Findings suggest that as climate warms in the future, wildfire occurrence could increase with implications for water supply management.
