Abstract Methane (CH 4 ) is produced in many natural systems that are vulnerable to change under a warming climate, yet current CH budgets, as well future shifts emissions, have high uncertainties. Climate has the potential increase emissions from critical such wetlands, marine and freshwater systems, permafrost, methane hydrates, through temperature, hydrology, vegetation, landscape disturbance, sea level rise. Increased these would turn induce further climate change, resulting positive...
Fire behavior of plant mixtures includes a complex set processes for which the interactive contributions its drivers, such as identity and moisture, have not yet been unraveled fully. Plant flammability parameters species can show substantial deviations fire properties from those expected based on component when burnt alone; that is, there are nonadditive mixture effects. Here, we investigated how fuel moisture content affects effects in behavior. We hypothesized both magnitude variance...
Peat fires in boreal and tundra regions can potentially cause a high CO2 release, because of their large soil carbon stocks. Under current future climate warming the frequency intensity droughts are increasing will plant community organic to become more susceptible fire. The consumption by fire is commonly used as proxy for severity source release. However, role soils both above- belowground behavior has only rarely been studied. In this study we collected branches from Betula pubescens,...
Fire is nearly ubiquitous in the terrestrial biosphere, with profound effects on earth surface carbon storage, climate, and forest functions. Fuel quality an important parameter determining fire behavior, which differs among both tree species organs. not static: when dead plant material decomposes, its structural, chemical, water dynamic properties change, implications for fuel flammability. However, interactions between decomposition flammability are poorly understood. This study aimed to...
