Vulnerability of Physically Protected Soil Organic Carbon to Loss Under Low Severity Fires
Soil aggregate degradation during medium and high severity fires is often identified as the main mechanism that leads to loss of soil organic matter (SOM) due to fire. Low severity fires, however, are considered not to cause aggregate degradation assuming that temperatures <250°C, as occurrin...
