"The forest fires in Canada during the summer of 2023 were particularly
devastating. With the destructive impact on human infrastructure, plumes of
smoke covering thousands of square kilometres and millions of tonnes of CO2
being emitted, 2023 is being called a record year for forest fires.

The different impacts the fires had obviously raise concerns about air quality
and climate change. Studies also point to a potential feedback effect. In other
words, climate change exacerbates fires, which in turn exacerbate climate
change.

But there is another issue of growing concern to experts: what are the effects
of forest fires on lakes?"
