ACCC Online Research Seminar: Impacts of wildfires on soil biogeochemistry in boreal environment

Title
Impacts of wildfires on soil biogeochemistry in boreal environment
Abstract:
“Fire is one of the most important natural disturbances in borealenvironments (approximately 1% of the boreal forests burns annually),driving biogeochemical processes and carbon cycling in these areas.Changes in future fire regimes, including changes in the fire seasonlength and occurrence time (spring vs summer fires), increase in firefrequency (return interval), intensity, and severity, will causechanges in different biogeochemical processes in boreal forests. “Impacts of wildfires on soil biogeochemistry in boreal environments”gives an overview about the direct and indirect, but also short- andlong-term effects of forest fires and post-fire recovery on soilbiogeochemical processes in boreal forests.”
