Fire is an important disturbance agent in Chinese boreal forests but the long-term effects of wildfires on soil nitrogen (N) net mineralisation rates (Rmin) in natural versus human-assisted restorations are not well understood. In this study, we analysed upper (0-10cm) and lower layer
In boreal forests, fire is an important part of the ecosystem that greatly influences soil respiration, which in turn affects the carbon balance. Wildfire can have a significant effect on soil respiration and it depends on the fire severity and environmental factors (soil temperature and snow water
