Peatland degradation causes a number of environmental problems ranging from
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to subsidence and ecosystem loss. Degraded peatlands …

The frequency and intensity of summer droughts and heat waves in Western Europe have
been increasing, raising concerns about the emergence of fire hazard in less fire-prone …

Peat fires differ from other wildfires in their duration, carbon losses, emissions of greenhouse
gases and highly hazardous products of combustion and other environmental impacts …

Peatlands play a special role in the accumulation of carbon and the formation of the gas
composition of the atmosphere and its impact on the climate. The features of peatland …

Rewetting is the most effective way to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from
drained peatlands and must significantly contribute to the implementation of the Paris …

In this chapter, the authors analysed the current state of economic and environmental
damage caused by forest fires in Ukraine. Uncontrolled spread of fire not only causes …

The occurrence of forest ground smoldering combustion has been increasingly frequent in
recent years, resulting in significant emissions that have a detrimental impact on the …

Drained peatlands are a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere.
When abandoned, they become the most likely sites of peat fires. An effective way to reduce …

Fire severity mapping can capture heterogeneous fire severity patterns over large spatial
extents. Although numerous remote sensing approaches have been established, regional …

Forest soil carbon is an important component of the global carbon cycle, and the changes of
its accumulation and decomposition, stabilization and destabilization directly affect the …
