A recent analysis indicates that Canadian forest fires have released an average of 27 Mt (1012 g) of carbon annually over the past four decades (Amiro et al. 2001a). These emissions are caused by direct combustion. About an equal additional amount of carbon may also be lost…

Concern about the risk of harmful human-induced climate change has resulted in international efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. We review the international and national context for consideration of greenhouse abatement in native vegetation management…

Tropical peatlands are one of the largest near-surface reserves of terrestrial organic carbon, and hence their stability has important implications for climate change. In their natural state, lowland tropical peatlands support a luxuriant growth or peat swamp forest overlying…

In the boreal forest, high-intensity crown fires account for an overwhelming proportion of the area burned yearly. Quantifying the amount of black carbon (BC) from boreal crown fires in Canada is essential for assessing the effect on regional climate from natural wildfire…

The Russian boreal forest contains approximately 25% of the global terrestrial biomass, and even a higher percentage of the carbon stored in litter and soils. Fire burns large areas annually, much of it in low-severity surface fires - but data on fire area and impacts or extent…
