Vegetation structure and fire weather influence variation in burn severity and fuel consumption during peatland wildfires [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2016 Temperate peatland wildfires are of significant environmental concern but information on their environmental effects is lacking. We assessed variation in burn severity and fuel consumption within and between wildfires that burnt British moorlands in 2011
