 Radiative Forcing from a Boreal Forest Fire

by Jim Randerson

We report measurements of energy and carbon fluxes from a boreal forest fire chronosequence. Taking into account greenhouse gas emissions and post-fire changes in the surface radiation budget, a boreal forest fire in interior Alaska caused the climate to cool. This result suggests that management of forests in northern countries to preserve carbon sinks may have the opposite effect on climate as that intended.

Jim: As I understand it, your estimates of the net cooling of the boreal fires depend quite strongly on the resulting modification of surface albedo. When you think about managing fires (or not managing, as the case may be) for optimal warming mitigation in the future, don't you also need to consider the likely decrease in future snow cover? Thanks, Mark
