FIRE SUPPRESSION AND ECOSYSTEM CARBON STORAGE [PDF]
Ecology, 2000 A 35-year controlled burning experiment in Minnesota oak savanna showed that fire frequency had a great impact on ecosystem carbon (C) stores. Specifically, compared to the historical fire regime, fire suppression led to an average of 1.8 Mg·ha−1·yr−1 of C storage, with most carbon stored in woody biomass.

A review on fire suppression by fire sprinklers
Journal of Fire Sciences, 2021 Water spray remains the most effective, environment-friendly and economical way of fighting accidental or unwanted fires, and this is largely due to its thermal characteristics. The mechanism of fire suppression by sprinkler water sprays is influenced by numerous factors, which have been the focus of years’-long and on-going research studies to ...

Local forest structure variability increases resilience to wildfire in dry western U.S. coniferous forests. [PDF]
, 2020 A 'resilient' forest endures disturbance and is likely to persist. Resilience to wildfire may arise from feedback between fire behaviour and forest structure in dry forest systems.
