[HTML][HTML] How do forest fires affect soil greenhouse gas emissions in upland boreal forests? A review

C Ribeiro-Kumara, E Köster, H Aaltonen… - Environmental Research, 2020 - Elsevier
Wildfires strongly regulate carbon (C) cycling and storage in boreal forests and account for
almost 10% of global fire C emissions. However, the anticipated effects of climate change on …

Carbon loss from boreal forest wildfires offset by increased dominance of deciduous trees

MC Mack, XJ Walker, JF Johnstone, HD Alexander… - Science, 2021 - science.org
In boreal forests, climate warming is shifting the wildfire disturbance regime to more frequent
fires that burn more deeply into organic soils, releasing sequestered carbon to the …

Reviews and syntheses: Changing ecosystem influences on soil thermal regimes in northern high-latitude permafrost regions

MM Loranty, BW Abbott, D Blok, TA Douglas… - …, 2018 - bg.copernicus.org
Soils in Arctic and boreal ecosystems store twice as much carbon as the atmosphere, a
portion of which may be released as high-latitude soils warm. Some of the uncertainty in the …

Updated generalized biomass equations for North American tree species

DC Chojnacky, LS Heath, JC Jenkins - Forestry, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Historically, tree biomass at large scales has been estimated by applying dimensional
analysis techniques and field measurements such as diameter at breast height (dbh) in …

Vulnerability of high‐latitude soil organic carbon in North America to disturbance

G Grosse, J Harden, M Turetsky… - Journal of …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
This synthesis addresses the vulnerability of the North American high‐latitude soil organic

Patterns of NPP, GPP, respiration, and NEP during boreal forest succession

ML Goulden, AMS McMillan, GC Winston… - Global Change …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
We combined year‐round eddy covariance with biometry and biomass harvests along a
chronosequence of boreal forest stands that were 1, 6, 15, 23, 40,∼ 74, and∼ 154 years old …

The effect of fire on microbial biomass: a meta-analysis of field studies

SR Dooley, KK Treseder - Biogeochemistry, 2012 - Springer
Soil microbes regulate the transfer of carbon (C) from ecosystems to the atmosphere and in
doing so influence feedbacks between terrestrial ecosystems and global climate change …
