In situ observations of soil minerals and organic matter in the early phases of prescribed fires (original) (raw)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2012

Abstract

We examined the chemical composition of aerosol samples collected during a prescribed fire at a Great Basin Desert site in the context of samples collected from controlled combustion of vegetation clippings from the same site and resuspension of soil samples obtained prior to and after the burn event. We observed a distinct difference in the composition of organic carbon resuspended soil dust after the burn, reflecting changes caused by the heating of the soil. The relative abundances of minerals and organic carbon ...
