Fire transforms fuels (ie biomass, necromass, soil organic matter) into materials with different
chemical and physical properties. One of these materials is ash, which is the particulate …

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 …

Wildfires release substantial quantities of carbon (C) into the atmosphere but they also
convert part of the burnt biomass into pyrogenic organic matter (Py OM). This is richer in C …

Fuel consumption specifies the amount of vegetative biomass consumed during wildland
fire. It is a two-stage process of pyrolysis and combustion that occurs simultaneously and at …

Boreal soils account for~ 30% of the global soil organic carbon (C) stock. Wildfires are an
important perturbation of this C pool, particularly affecting the top organic soil layer, which …

Mastication is an increasingly common fuels treatment that redistributes “ladder” fuels to the
forest floor to reduce vertical fuel continuity, crown fire potential, and fireline intensity, but …

Wildfire can influence climate directly and indirectly, but little is known about the
relationships between wildfire and climate during the Quaternary, especially how wildfire …

Wildfires in radiologically contaminated areas raise significant concerns due to potential
radionuclides redistribution and increased public radiation exposure. This study examined …

Vegetation fires play an important role in global and regional carbon cycles. Due to climate
warming and land use shifts, fire patterns are changing and fire impacts increasing in many …

The reintroduction of fire to landscapes where it was once common is considered a priority
to restore historical forest dynamics, including reducing tree density and decreasing levels of …
