Post‐Fire Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics: Decline and Recovery Over Two Decades
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wildfire can significantly alter soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in forest ecosystems, with complex temporal patterns following fire events. However, research on post‐fire SOC recovery remains limited, particularly in dry‐warm valley regions that are prone to frequent forest fires.

A dramaturgy of uncertainty: Transdisciplinary manoeuvres across forestry and theatre
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The uncertainties of climate change mean that forestry adaptation strategies are often complex and contested. Research has suggested that there is an interest in the forestry sector for facilitated dialogue about uncertainty (de Pellegrin Llorente et al., 2023).
