The carbon (C) cycle in boreal regions is strongly influenced by fire, which converts biomass
and detrital C mainly to gaseous forms (CO 2 and smaller proportions of CO and CH 4), and …

Pyrogenic carbon (PC; also known as biochar, charcoal, black carbon and soot) derived
from natural and anthropogenic burning plays a major, but poorly quantified, role in the …

Rivers transport abundant terrestrial carbon into the ocean, constituting a fundamental
channel between terrestrial carbon pools and oceanic carbon pools. The black carbon (BC) …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), produced via incomplete combustion of organics,
convey signatures of vegetation burned in the geologic past. New and published burn …

To aid in understanding black carbon (BC) formation during smoldering combustion in forest
fires, we characterized charring of a softwood and hardwood. Charring (150, 340, 480° C) …

Aerosol black carbon (BC) is a short-lived climate pollutant. The poorly constrained
provenance of tropical marine aerosol BC hinders the mechanistic understanding of extreme …

Fine aerosol particles collected in Southeast Asia during 1997 Indonesian forest fires were
studied for the concentrations of total carbon (TC), water‐soluble organic carbon (WSOC) …

Pine forests bordering the Mediterranean Sea are often affected by severe wildfires, which
cause major changes to soil organic matter (SOM). In this paper, recently burned and …

The dual carbon isotope signatures and optical properties of carbonaceous aerosols have
been investigated simultaneously for the first time in the South Asian outflow during an …

Rising levels of air-borne suspended particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 μm
(PM 2.5) in the Asian mega cities is a serious cause of concern. A severe SMOG (smoke+ …
