Fuel moistures samples along with along with duff (forest floor) consumption measurements were collected before and after the Nenana Ridge Prescribed Research Burn. These results are important as forest floor biomass and moisture are key components of fire in boreal ecosystems and often drive fire behavior. The amount of duff or forest floor consumption directly impacts smoke, permafrost melting, erosion and vegetation succession.
