FLAGSTAFF, Arizona, Oct. 16 (TNSJou) -- Northern Arizona University issued the following news:
As climate warming stokes longer fire seasons and more severe fires in the North American boreal forest, being able to calculate how much carbon each fire burns grows more urgent. New research led by Northern Arizona University and published this week in Nature Climate Change suggests that how much carbon burns depends more on available fuels than on fire weather such as drought conditions . . .
