Research Summary: Projecting Vegetation and Wildfire Response to Changing Climate and Fire Management in Interior Alaska
An extensive suite of empirical studies was completed with modeling to improve understanding of the mechanistic linkages among fire, vegetation, the soil organic layer (SOL), and permafrost thaw across interior Alaska. The primary project objectives were to: (1)determine mechanistic links among fire...
