Three‐Fourths of Carbon Emissions From 2023 Record‐Breaking Wildfires in Canada Traced to Soil and Peat Combustion
ZILONG ZHONG + Alemu Gonsamo + Brendan M Rogers ...
In 2023, wildfires burned vast areas in Canada, emitting large amounts of carbon (C). The area burned by the 2023 wildfires is the largest ever recorded in Canada, but the...
