AoR 147: Wildfire Depletes Ecosystem Carbon Storage by >50% (Part 1) -- Germino, Maxwell, & Quicke

How does wildfire affect soil carbon, the ecological currency of the 21st century? Careful collaborative research involving US Geological Survey scientists, Envu, and Boise State University has begun to answer some of the many questions surrounding soil carbon and fire. This is the first of a two-part interview on soil carbon storage, sequestration mechanisms, effects of wildfire and plant community shifts, and management implications.
