Towards a global assessment of pyrogenic carbon from vegetation fires.

The production of pyrogenic carbon (PyC; a continuum of organic carbon (C) ranging from partially charred biomass and charcoal to soot) is a widely acknowledged C sink, with the latest estimates indicating that ~50% of the PyC produced by vegetation fires potentially sequesters C over centuries. Nevertheless, the quantitative importance of PyC in the global C balance remains contentious, and th...

Pyrogenic vorticity from windward and lee slope fires

Research into dynamic bushfire behaviour conducted over the last few years has shown that bushfires burning on lee-facing slopes can exhibit atypical forms of propagation under extreme weather conditions. For instance, recent numerical simulations have indicated that pyrogenic vorticity (the curl of the velocity field) is a key driver of rapid lateral fire spread as a consequence, this type of ...

Pyrogenic organic matter production from wildfires: a missing sink in the global carbon cycle

Wildfires release substantial quantities of carbon (C) into the atmosphere but they also convert part of the burnt biomass into pyrogenic organic matter (PyOM). This is richer in C and, overall, more resistant to environmental degradation than the original biomass, and, therefore, PyOM production is an efficient mechanism for C sequestration. The magnitude of this C sink, however, remains poorl...

Modelling the role of fires in the terrestrial carbon balance by incorporating SPITFIRE into the global vegetation model ORCHIDEE – Part 2: Carbon emissions and the role of fires in the global carbon balance

Carbon dioxide emissions from wild and anthropogenic fires return the carbon absorbed by plants to the atmosphere, and decrease the sequestration of carbon by land ecosystems. Future climate warming will likely increase the frequency of fire-triggering drought, so that the future terrestrial carbon uptake will depend on how fires respond to altered climate variation. In this study, we modelled ...

Australia's Black Saturday fires - comparison of techniques for estimating emissions from vegetation fires

We present a comparison of techniques for estimating atmospheric emissions from fires using Australia's 2009 "Black Saturday" wildfires as a case study. Most of the fires started on Saturday the 7th of February 2009 (a date now known as "Black Saturday") and then spread rapidly, fanned by gale force winds, creating several firestorms and killing 173 people. The fires continued into early March,...
