متن کاملPost-fire comparisons of forest floor and soil carbon, nitrogen, and mercury pools with fire severity indices

In the fall of 2011, a large wildfire occurred in northern Minnesota and we were able to quickly access the area to sample the forest floor and mineral soil for C, N, and Hg pools. When compared with unburned reference soils, the mean loss of C resulting from fire in the forest floor and the upper 20 cm of mineral soil w...
