Soil Fire Ecology: Assessing Wildfire Severity Impacts on Pacific Northwest Forest Soil Carbon

Creator:

Fleetwood, Shea

Abstract:

Pacific Northwest temperate rainforests are anticipated to experience increasingly frequent and severe wildfires in the foreseeable future due to climate change, increased fuel loads, and deforestation. Soil, underlying these forests, is the largest terrestrial carbon (“C”) reservoir. Fire disturbance influences soil C persistence, the timeframe and magnitude of which remain...
