             abstract = "Tropical carbon emissions are largely derived from direct forest 
                         clearing processes. Yet, emissions from drought-induced forest 
                         fires are, usually, not included in national-level carbon emission 
                         inventories. Here we examine Brazilian Amazon drought impacts on 
                         fire incidence and associated forest fire carbon emissions over 
                         the period 20032015. We show that despite a 76% decline in 
                         deforestation rates over the past 13 years, fire incidence 
                         increased by 36% during the 2015 drought compared to the preceding 
                         12 years. The 2015 drought had the largest ever ratio of active 
                         fire counts to deforestation, with active fires occurring over an 
                         area of 799,293 km2. Gross emissions from forest fires (989 ± 504 
                         Tg CO2 year\−1 ) alone are more than half as great as those 
                         from old-growth forest deforestation during drought years. We 
                         conclude that carbon emission inventories intended for accounting 
                         and developing policies need to take account of substantial forest 
                         fire emissions not associated to the deforestation process.",
