DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2735
Abstract: Fire is a critical force in structuring ecosystems, but it also removes substantial amounts of nitrogen (N), which can limit plant growth. Biological N fixation (BNF) may alleviate fire-induced N deficiencies that inhibit ecosystem recovery,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-019-01892-8
Abstract: Fire transforms the structure of natural habitats and, consequently, modifies microclimates affecting ectotherm organisms that are particularly susceptible to changes in the thermal environment. Nevertheless, the effects of fire-induced microclimatic shifts upon natural populations have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2017.01.099
Abstract: Abstract The methanol-gasoline blends fire-induced smoke temperature profiles were measured in full scale tunnel fire experiments with different blends and different longitudinal ventilation conditions. The flow field profile, which was nonuniform in the full-scale tunnel,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2017.11.021
Abstract: Abstract Severe fires accelerate rock weathering by spalling and exfoliation, creating abundant peels, flakes or spalls. In the following years, these spalls serve as physical traps which accommodate fine particles of dust, ash, organic matter,… read more here.
