Quantifying fire severity and carbon and nitrogen pools and emissions in Alaska's boreal black spruce forest ABSTRACT: Fire severity can be defined as the amount of biomass combusted by wildfire. Stored carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) are emitted into the atmosphere as wildfires consume vegetation and soil organic layers, thus C and N emissions should be related to fire severity. Since boreal forests store 30% of the world's terrestrial C and are subject to high-intensity, stand-replacing wildfires, it is critical to be able to estimate C fluxes from wildfires. Furthermore, quantifying fire severity is important for predicting post-fire vegetation recovery and future C sequestration. We reconstructed pre-fire organic soil layers and quantified fire severity levels from the 2004 wildfires in Interior Alaska with the adventitious...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
