Markdown Content:
The fire parameterization in CLM contains four components: non-peat fires outside cropland and tropical closed forests, agricultural fires in cropland, deforestation fires in the tropical closed forests, and peat fires (see [Li et al. 2012a](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lietal2012a), [Li et al. 2012b](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lietal2012b), [Li et al. 2013](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lietal2013a), [Li and Lawrence 2017](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lilawrence2017) for details). In this fire parameterization, burned area is affected by climate and weather conditions, vegetation composition and structure, and human activities. After burned area is calculated, we estimate the fire impact, including biomass and peat burning, fire-induced vegetation mortality, adjustment of the carbon and nitrogen (C/N) pools, and fire emissions.
