Natural emissions but suppressed.May be less intense if previously treated
Less Intense so emissions are Lower
White AshExtensive CarbonLoss , slow recoverydue to loss of soilcarbon
Moderate Severity ‐Carbon preservedin soil, slow loss as trees decomposebut some returned to soil
Ground Fire – Minimal Loss of Carbonwith quick Recovery and soils may be enhanced
