Abstract Knowledge concerning the processes involved in defining the boundaries between
rainforests (fire-sensitive) and open formations (fire-tolerant) is essential to safeguarding …

Peatlands are ecosystems formed mostly by organic matter and water and constitute a
particular type of free aquifer. They perform important hydrological functions by storing …

Peatlands are important natural carbon reservoirs and regulators of water flow and of its
dynamic in many natural areas. The structural integrity of these systems has been …

Tropical peatlands are important ecosystems for Planet Earth, as they store large amounts of
carbon and water. A better understanding of the impact of vegetation type and altitude in …

There is a need for greater knowledge about the medium-and long-term effects of prescribed
fire management on soil in ecosystems prone to wildfires and more vulnerable to climate …

Peatlands are soil environments that accumulate water and organic carbon and function as
records of paleo-environmental changes. The variability in the composition of organic matter …

Well-drained organic soils form in distinctive highland environments in contrast to wetland
