Charcoal plays an important role in soil function and carbon storage in fire‐prone
ecosystems. Charcoal is present in most boreal forest soils as a result of naturally recurring …

Snags and downed logs are substantial components of the detrital carbon pool in boreal
forests. Effects of their decomposition on chemical and physical characteristics of the forest …

Wildfire and clearcutting are two main disturbances in North American forests, but whether
root systems may respond differently to such disturbances is unknown. Here, we studied …

Clear-cutting and fire are the two main disturbances affecting the boreal forest of eastern
Canada. These two disturbance types exert different effects on forest dynamics, which can …

Coarse woody debris (CWD) in boreal ecosystems has been hypothesized to play an
important nutritional role following stand-replacing disturbances such as fire or harvest. Sites …

Wildfires have the potential to dramatically alter forest carbon (C) storage and nitrogen (N)
availability, but the long-term biogeochemical legacy of these events is poorly understood. I …

Wild fire occurred in the summer 2007 on the Vidlic Mountain (Serbia) overspreading a huge
area of meadows and forests. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of wild fire on …

Wildfires have the potential to dramatically alter forest carbon (C) storage and nitrogen (N)
availability, but the long-term biogeochemical legacy of these events is poorly understood. I …

Forest ecosystems have many functions such as protecting soil from rainfall, regulating run-
off and slowing down erosion. Forests produce local microclimates by regulating …
