Fire - climate interactions in a warming world

TL;DR: The Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED) as mentioned in this paper provides nearly 25 years of consistent data and offers important insights into changing fire activity, capturing a global decline in burned area.

Stable carbon isotopic composition of biomass burning emissions - implications for estimating the contribution of C3 and C4 plants

TL;DR: In this paper, the stable carbon isotope 13C in organic carbon, CO and CO 2 in biomass burning smoke was used to estimate the contribution of C3 plants (trees and bushes) and C4 plants (mainly Savannah grass), which have very distinct O(C) ratios.

Stable carbon isotopic composition of biomass burning emissions – implications for estimating the contribution of C<sub>3</sub> and C<sub>4</sub> plants

TL;DR: In this article , stable carbon isotopes in biomass burning (BB) emissions are used to trace the contribution of C3 plants (e.g. trees or shrubs) and C4 plants to various combustion products, but there are still many uncertainties regarding changes in isotopic composition (also known as fractionation) of the emitted carbon compared to the burnt fuel during pyrolysis and combustion processes.
