The role of fire in UK peatland and moorland management: the need for informed, unbiased debate
Fire has been used for centuries to generate and manage some of the UK's cultural
landscapes. Despite its complex role in the ecology of UK peatlands and moorlands, there …

Effects of fire on the hydrology, biogeochemistry, and ecology of peatland river systems
Peatlands are found around the world and cover∼ 3.4% of the Earth's surface. In the UK,
peatlands cover 17.2% or∼ 1.58 Mha of the land surface and occur mainly in upland areas …

Differences in soil chemistry remain following wildfires on temperate heath and blanket bog sites of conservation concern
Wildfires have the potential to change the physico-chemical characteristics of soils, and
further research is required to establish the nature, extent and duration of these impacts. The …
