The Boreal Zone covers about one-third of the global forested area (approximately 16 million km2) and is primarily located in Canada, Alaska, Russia and Scandinavia (Conard et al., 2002; Deluca and Boisvenue, 2012). About 80% of these forests are located in upland soils (i.e. well-drai...

Exposure per unit area burned was also over seven times greater in California (5.95 people/km2) compared to Washing- ton (0.78 people/km2), and over 11 times greater compared to Oregon (0.51 people/km2) (Modaresi Rad et al. 2023). In fact, wildfire is not a phenomenon specific to ...
Abstract Wildfire is a major driver of nitrogen (N) cycling and export from terrestrial to aquatic systems. While fire is a natural process in many watersheds, it can still degrade water quality by rapidly flushing N to streams. This can be particularly problematic in watersheds that experience...
