Black (pyrogenic) carbon: a synthesis of current knowledge and uncertainties with special consideration of boreal regions
The carbon (C) cycle in boreal regions is strongly influenced by fire, which converts biomass and detrital C mainly to gaseous forms (CO<sub>2</sub> and smaller proportions of CO and CH<sub>4</sub>), and some 1–3% of mass to pyrogenic C (PyC). PyC is mainly produced...
