...In addition, using field observations, San Jose et al. (1998), Shackleton and Scholes (2000), Tilman et al. (2000), Wang et al. (2001), and Irvine et al. (2007) investigated the differences in site-level ecosystem carbon storage and/or fluxes with different fire frequencies or severities....

...This can be supported by the site-level field observations from San Jose et al. (1998), Tilman et al. (2000), Shackleton and Scholes (2000), Wang et al. (2001), and Irvine et al. (2007), which reported that ecosystem carbon pools in burned stands were smaller than those in unburned stands on…...

...Aquatic systems are globally experiencing rapid change in the surrounding terrestrial landscapes, whether through widespread deforestation, or via increases in percent forest cover through suppression of natural disturbance regimes, such as Wre, and conversion of abandoned agricultural land to forest (Frost 1995; Groom and Schumaker 1993; Tilman et al. 2000; Chen et al. 2006)....

...Our work supports the proposal that increased fire suppression and decreased anthropogenic burning of vegetation could significantly influence global carbon dynamics (Dixon et al. 1994, Sampson and Clark 1995, Sohngen and Haynes 1997, San Jose et al. 1998)....
