Vegetation structure and fire weather influence variation in burn severity and fuel consumption during peatland wildfires
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 and 2012. We adapted the composite burn index...
