Contribution of forest fire and land covers to emissions of CO2, CH4 and N2O in Central Yakutia

Boreal forests have been frequently damaged from forest fires. In a boreal forest fire occurred in 1998, the carbon released from the burned area of 17.9 Mha was estimated to be 290-383 Tg C, which accounted for 6.7- 8.9 % of the global total carbon release from biomass
