<p><strong>Figure 2.</strong> The dynamics of (A) moss, (B) fibrous, and (C) amorphous organic soil layers after fire as simulated by the DOSTEM.</p> <p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>Fire is an important factor controlling the composition and thickness of the organic layer in the black spruce forest ecosystems of interior Alaska. Fire that burns the organic layer can trigger dramatic changes in the underlying permafrost, leading to accelerated ground thawing within a relatively short time. In this study, we addressed the following questions. (1) Which factors determine post-fire ground temperature dynamics in lowland and upland black spruce forests? (2) What levels of burn severity will cause irreversible permafrost degradation in these ...
