Short- to medium-term effects of crown and surface fires on soil respiration in a Canadian boreal forest.

New paper by Ribeiro-Kumara et al., 2022, assessed the short- to medium-term effects of fire type on soil C fluxes of mixed jack pine and black spruce forest stands in Canada. Our study shows that both fire types can alter C fluxes in the short to medium term through changes in vegetation and the soil […]

Ecosystem services—the benefits nature provides—are fundamental to human well-being and climate resilience. At the University of Eastern Finland, the UEF//ECOSERV Research Group explores how ecosystem structures, functions, and services respond to natural and anthropogenic disturbances under changing climatic conditions. Our work bridges ecological research with practical solutions, addressing pressing environmental and societal challenges. See also: UEF//ECOSERV Research Group

Climate and air quality impacts of boreal forest fires

Post-ﬁre soil carbon emission rates along boreal forest ﬁre chronosequences in northwest Canada show signiﬁcantly higher emission potentials from permafrost soils compared to non-permafrost soils.
