- A case study of 2004 fires at Poker Flat Research Range-
Carbon loss after one year of 2004 wildfire was estimated in Poker Flat Research Range (PFRR). By comparing organic C storage at burned site with those of unburned sites, C loss from forest floor/top soil was estimated at three different forest types. Three profiles were surveyed at Picea mariana (b...
