Forest fire, an important agent for change in many forest ecosystems, plays an important role in atmospheric chemical cycles and the carbon cycle. The primary emissions from forest fire, CO2, CO, CH4, long-chained hydrocarbons and volatile organic oxides, however, have not been…

Vegetation fires are a complex phenomenon in the Earth system with many global impacts, including influences on global climate. Estimating carbon emissions from vegetation fires relies on a carbon mass balance technique that has evolved with two different interpretations.…

Size-resolved effective density, mixing state, and hygroscopicity of smoke particles from five kinds of agricultural residues burning were characterized using an aerosol chamber system, including a volatility/hygroscopic tandem differential mobility analyzer (V/H-TDMA) combined…

Non-deforestation fire - i.e., fire that is typically followed by the recovery of natural vegetation - is arguably the most influential disturbance in terrestrial ecosystems, thereby playing a major role in carbon exchanges and affecting many climatic processes. The radiative…

Wildfire is the largest disturbance affecting peatland ecosystems and can typically result in the combustion of 2-3kgCm-2 of near-surface peat. We hypothesized that organic soil burn severity, as well as the associated carbon emissions, varies significantly as a function of…

Forests represent an important role in the control of atmospheric emissions through carbon capture. However, in forest fires, the carbon stored during photosynthesis is released into the atmosphere. The carbon quantification, in forest burning, is important for the development…

This study tests whether or not foliar flammability is related to resource-use and anti-herbivore defence strategies of plant species. We measured the flammability (at 400 °C) of 1640 dry and fresh leaves across 115 common native New Zealand woody and herbaceous species…

Much recent research has investigated the effects of burning on mature black spruce (Picea mariana) forests in interior Alaska, however little research has focused on how frequent reburning affects soil organic layer (SOL) vulnerability in these ecosystems. We compared organic…

Peat cores collected from two locations in eastern North Carolina (NC, USA) were burned in a laboratory facility to characterize emissions during simulated field combustion. Particle and gas samples were analyzed to quantify emission factors for particulate matter (PM2.5),…
