New paper dealing with low-intensity surface fires

We’re pleased to announce the publication of our new paper, “Short-term effects of low-intensity surface fires on dissolved organic matter from boreal forest soils”, in the Journal of Soils and Sediments.In this study, we investigated how low-intensity surface fires affect the concentration and quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in boreal forest soils. We focused […]

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.
