Temperature rise and prolonged droughts increase the danger of fires in drained peatlands and tropical forests in Southeast Asia and the Amazon , resulting in large carbon emissions, which reached 11.3 Tg CO2 day-1 during September-October 2015  and changes in forest composition and biodiversity  . In many cases, tree mortality due to fire is poorly recorded in the literature, but the available data suggest that fire-induced mortality has increased in recent years   . While large forest and peat fires used to be associated mainly with El Niño-Southern Oscillation  events, there is now evidence that tropical rainforests in Indonesia may experience higher fire danger from increased temperatures even during non-drought years due to high evaporation rates of fragmented forests . The droughts of 2007 and 2010 in the Amazonian region caused 12% and 5% of the southeastern Amazon forests to burn, respectively, as compared with <1% of these forests burning during non-drought years . Moreover, degraded forests in Ghana are more vulnerable to fires during droughts .
