Perspectives on disconnects between scientific information and management decisions on post-fire recovery in Western US.
Environmental regulations frequently mandate the use of "best available" science, but ensuring that it is used in decisions around the use and protection of natural resources is often challenging. In the Western US, this relationship between science and management is at the forefront of post-fire land management decisions. Recent fires, post-fire threats (e.g. flooding, erosion), and the role o...
متن کاملCajander larch (Larix cajanderi) biomass distribution, fire regime and post-fire recovery in northeastern Siberia
Climate change and land-use activities are increasing fire activity across much of the Siberian boreal forest, yet the climate feedbacks from forest disturbances remain difficult to quantify due to limited information on forest biomass distribution, disturbance regimes and post-disturbance ecosystem recovery. Our primary objective here was to analyse post-fire accumulation of Cajander larch (La...
متن کاملIn the line of fire: the peatlands of Southeast Asia.
Peatlands are a significant component of the global carbon (C) cycle, yet despite their role as a long-term C sink throughout the Holocene, they are increasingly vulnerable to destabilization. Nowhere is this shift from sink to source happening more rapidly than in Southeast Asia, and nowhere else are the combined pressures of land-use change and fire on peatland ecosystem C dynamics more evide...
متن کاملGlobal vulnerability of peatlands to fire and carbon loss
11 Peatland ecosystems accumulate thick organic soil layers because plant production exceeds decomposition throughout the entire organic soil column (Fig. 1). Peatlands cover only about 2–3% of the Earth’s land surface but store around 25% of the world’s soil carbon1. They are most abundant at northern high latitudes (Fig. 2a), where they cover roughly 4,000,000 km2 of land1 and store an estima...
متن کاملFire Impacts and Carbon Release on Tropical Peatlands in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia
During 1997 and 1998 intensive land irrigation and clearance activities in Indonesia, combined with a greatly extended ENSO-related dry season, created conditions for several months of forest fires. Fires were particularly intense in the lowland peatlands of Kalimantan and Sumatra where both forest and peat fires occurred. A 24,910 km (2.491 MHa) study area in Central Kalimantan has been used t...
