Effects of aqueous extracts of wildfire ashes on tadpoles of Pelophylax perezi: Influence of plant coverage

Diogo Santos et al.

Summary: Wildfires are an important source of contamination in aquatic ecosystems, but the effects of ashes from different tree species on tadpoles have been largely ignored. This study found that exposure to ash extracts from Pinua sp. and Eucalyptus sp. negatively affected tadpoles, leading to increased mortality and decreased body size and weight. The effects varied with the type of ashes, suggesting an influence of vegetation cover on ash toxicity.

From burned slopes to streams: how wildfire affects nitrogen cycling and retention in forests and fire-prone watersheds

Rebecca N. Gustine et al.

Summary: Wildfires play a significant role in nitrogen cycling and export from terrestrial to aquatic systems, potentially degrading water quality by flushing nitrogen to streams. The extent and duration of postfire nitrogen export and its impact on downstream water quality depend on variations in nitrogen inputs, internal cycling, and outputs before, during, and after fires. Understanding these factors is crucial for predicting how wildfires will affect watershed nitrogen cycling and retention in the future.

Impact of the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfires on atmospheric deposition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and trace elements to surrounding ombrotrophic bogs

Yifeng Zhang et al.

Summary: The major wildfires in 2016 in Fort McMurray and the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR) had less impact on regional deposition of pollutants compared to ongoing anthropogenic dust deposition from oil sands activities. Through mass balance receptor models, it was found that the main sources of trace elements were oil sands ore, haul road dust, and petcoke, while wildfire was a minor source in the region. Despite elevated concentrations of certain pollutants post-wildfire, the study revealed that the dominant sources of PAHs and trace elements were not wildfires, but rather industrial activities like oil sands extraction.

Global and Regional Trends and Drivers of Fire Under Climate Change

Matthew W. Jones et al.

Summary: This article reviews the impacts of climate change on fire weather and the consequences for regional fire activity. It finds that fire weather controls the annual timing of fires in most world regions, and the frequency and extremity of fire weather have been globally pervasive due to climate change. Increases in burned area have also been seen in some forest regions, but other factors can override the relationship between burned area and fire weather.

Burn Intensity Drives the Alteration of Phenolic Lignin to (Poly) Aromatic Hydrocarbons as Revealed by Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (Py-GC/MS)

Huan Chen et al.

Summary: High-intensity wildfires and low-intensity prescribed fires result in chemical alterations of organic matter, with high-intensity wildfires forming ash with less aromatic and nitrogen-containing compounds but more lignin and phenol compounds, while low-intensity prescribed fires produce ash with more lignin and phenol compounds. Burn temperature plays a key role in the alteration of organic matter.

Can ash from smoldering fires increase peatland soil pH?

A. L. Marcotte et al.

Summary: The risk to vegetation and peat decomposition from alkaline ash inputs after peatland wildfire is poorly understood. This study found that ash inputs were insufficient to increase pH of the acidic peatland soil, and a significant amount of ash was required to cause a noticeable pH increase. The study suggests that elevated soil pH from ash input may be transient rather than long term.

Summary: Wildfires have significant negative impacts on society and the environment, including risks to public health and safety, economic damages, ecosystem pollution, and biodiversity loss. Research shows that ash from high severity burned areas is more toxic and has a greater impact on aquatic plants compared to ash from low severity burned areas.

Summary: Wildfires have increased in frequency and have significant impacts on water quality, including physical, chemical, and biological changes. These effects typically last less than 5 years, but can extend up to 15 years or more in certain cases. Studies on pollutants mobilized from wildfires in urban areas are limited.

Summary: Wildfires have been identified as a significant source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and trace elements in the environment, posing a potential risk to human health and ecosystems. Recent research in the Pantanal biome in Brazil found higher concentrations of toxic elements and PAHs in areas highly impacted by wildfires and artisanal mining activities.

Wildfire aerosol deposition likely amplified a summertime Arctic phytoplankton bloom

Summary: The deposition of Siberian wildfire aerosols, containing nitrogen, enhanced phytoplankton growth in the eastern Eurasian Basin of the Arctic Ocean in summer 2014. This finding, supported by satellite-based ocean color data and atmospheric transport modeling, suggests that long range transport and deposition of wildfire aerosols can affect biogeochemical cycles in the Arctic Ocean.

Cardiovascular health impacts of wildfire smoke exposure

Hao Chen et al.

Summary: In recent years, wildfires have been occurring more frequently and with increased intensity, contributing to significant public health impacts through air pollution. While exposure to wildfire smoke has been linked to respiratory morbidity and mortality, conclusive evidence on adverse cardiovascular effects is lacking. Filling knowledge gaps is essential to better define the cardiovascular health effects of exposure to wildfire smoke.

Cytotoxic effects of wildfire ashes: In-vitro responses of skin cells*

Ana Re et al.

Summary: This study found that ashes from wildfires can be toxic to human skin cells, with different sources, extraction methods, and exposure periods affecting cell viability and cell cycle progression. Eucalyptus ash was more cytotoxic than pine ash due to differences in metal content and mobility to water. The deceleration of the cell cycle may be due to cells attempting to repair metal-induced DNA damage, which could lead to genomic instability if not properly coordinated.

Summary: Long-term droughts and climate-change-induced warming have led to more frequent and intense wildfires, impacting the environment and ecosystems. Aerosol emissions from fires can transport nutrients to the ocean, enhancing marine productivity. Research shows that aerosols from the 2019-2020 Australian wildfires fueled widespread phytoplankton blooms in the Southern Ocean.

Wildland fire ash enhances short-term CO2 flux from soil in a Southern African savannah

Carmen Sanchez-Garcia et al.

Summary: Savannah fires are a major source of global carbon emissions from vegetation fires due to their high frequency and extensive burnt areas. Wildland fire ash, enriched with nutrients and pyrogenic carbon, significantly enhances soil carbon fluxes and should not be overlooked in post-fire carbon cycling studies. High frequency observations during the short-term period following wetting of fire-affected soils are crucial, as bursts of CO2 emissions from burnt savannah soil can account for a substantial fraction of total carbon emissions.
