Climate change contributes to the increased frequency and intensity of wildfires globally,
with significant impacts on society and the environment. However, our understanding of the …

Fire is a powerful ecological and evolutionary force that regulates organismal traits,
population sizes, species interactions, community composition, carbon and nutrient cycling …

One paradigm in biogeochemistry is that frequent disturbance tends to deplete carbon (C) in
soil organic matter (SOM) by reducing biomass inputs and promoting losses. However …

Inorganic matter and some ash-forming elements of biomass may cause numerous
technological and environmental problems during biomass processing. Therefore, an …

Wildfires have increased in frequency in many ecosystems, with implications for human
health and the environment, including water quality. Increased fire frequency and …

Large wildfires reduce vegetation cover and soil moisture, leaving the temporally degraded
landscapes an emergent source of dust emission. However, the global extent of post-fire …

Soils are among the most valuable non-renewable resources on the Earth. They support
natural vegetation and human agro-ecosystems, represent the largest terrestrial organic …

Contemporary soil science and conservation methods of effective forestry Forests and the
soils that serve as their foundation cover almost a third of the world's land area. Soils …

The production of pyrogenic carbon (PyC; a continuum of organic carbon (C) ranging from
partially charred biomass and charcoal to soot) is a widely acknowledged C sink, with the …

Landscape fires burn 3–5 million km2 of the Earth's surface annually. They emit 2.2 Pg of
carbon per year to the atmosphere, but also convert a significant fraction of the burned …
